Description

用于无线通信的电子设备和方法、计算机可读存储介质
本申请要求于2020年3月25日提交中国专利局、申请号为202010217738.9、发明名称为“用于无线通信的电子设备和方法、计算机可读存储介质”的中国专利申请的优先权，其全部内容通过引用结合在本申请中。
技术领域
本申请涉及无线通信技术领域，具体地涉及多个部分带宽(Bandwidth part)上的波束管理技术。更具体地，涉及一种用于无线通信的电子设备和方法以及计算机可读存储介质。
背景技术
在NR Rel-15中，用于波束测量的信道状态信息资源(CSI resource)，比如信道状态信息参考信号(Channel State Information Reference Signal，CSI-RS)、同步信号块(synchronizing signal block，SSB)可以在任意BWP上传输，用户设备(User Equipment，UE)在进行波束测量时不需要进行频率转换。
根据现有技术，分别对于上行和下行，UE每次只能激活一个BWP，即UE每次只能激活一个上行BWP和一个下行BWP。因此在进行波束测量结果上报时仅针对该下行BWP进行反馈，且UE不希望收到测量其他BWP上的信道状态信息(Channel State Information，CSI)的非周期触发。
另外，每个卫星都可以产生多个波束。根据38.821，目前非地面网络(Non-terrestrial network，NTN)有两种物理小区标识(Physical Cell Identifier，PCI)与波束的对应方式。第一种，每个PCI对应多个波束，每个波束对应特定的同步信号块(Synchronization Signal Block，SSB)。第二种，每个PCI对应一个波束，即，每个卫星小区仅对应一个波束，NR Rel.15中的波束管理机制对于这种情况不在适用。
在第一种情况下，对于空闲(idle)状态的UE，其只需要检测映射 到同一个PCI的SSB就可以快速简单地重新同步；对于连接状态的UE，波束特定SSB和波束特定CSI RS可以用于波束管理，以避免小区切换造成的数据传输中断和信令开销。
此外，在NTN场景下，当频率复用因子(frequency reuse factor，FRF)等于1时，分配到每个波束上的可用带宽非常大，但是UE可能遭受严重的来自相邻波束的同信道干扰。因此，利用FRF>1的频率部署可以有效降低相邻波束的干扰，提高信干噪比(Signal to Interference and Noise Ratio，SINR)。
因此，不同的波束可能位于不同的BWP上，期望提供一种适合该场景的波束管理方案。

具体实施方式
在下文中将结合附图对本发明的示范性实施例进行描述。为了清楚和简明起见，在说明书中并未描述实际实施方式的所有特征。然而，应该了解，在开发任何这种实际实施例的过程中必须做出很多特定于实施方式的决定，以便实现开发人员的具体目标，例如，符合与系统及业务 相关的那些限制条件，并且这些限制条件可能会随着实施方式的不同而有所改变。此外，还应该了解，虽然开发工作有可能是非常复杂和费时的，但对得益于本公开内容的本领域技术人员来说，这种开发工作仅仅是例行的任务。
在此，还需要说明的一点是，为了避免因不必要的细节而模糊了本发明，在附图中仅仅示出了与根据本发明的方案密切相关的设备结构和/或处理步骤，而省略了与本发明关系不大的其他细节。
<第一实施例>
如前所述，例如，在NTN中可能存在不同的波束位于不同的BWP上的情形，从而需要对多个BWP上的波束进行测量和测量结果上报，因此，期望提供一种新的波束管理方案来高效地实现该功能。应该理解，虽然以上基于NTN的场景来描述了本申请所针对的问题，但是本申请所能应用的范围并不限于此，而是可以适当地应用于任何具有相似需求的场合。
图1示出了根据本申请的一个实施例的用于无线通信的电子设备100的功能模块框图，如图1所示，电子设备100包括：获取单元101，被配置为从基站获取CSI资源配置和CSI报告配置，其中，CSI报告配置与一个或多个CSI资源配置相关联，CSI资源配置包括针对一个或多个BWP上的参考信号的资源配置；以及发送单元102，被配置为基于CSI报告配置向基站发送通过测量相关联的CSI资源配置中指定的参考信号而获得的与参考信号对应的波束的波束测量结果。
其中，获取单元101和发送单元102可以由一个或多个处理电路实现，该处理电路例如可以实现为芯片。并且，应该理解，图1中所示的装置中的各个功能单元仅是根据其所实现的具体功能而划分的逻辑模块，而不是用于限制具体的实现方式。
电子设备100例如可以设置在UE侧或者可通信地连接到UE。这里，还应指出，电子设备100可以以芯片级来实现，或者也可以以设备级来实现。例如，电子设备100可以工作为UE本身，并且还可以包括诸如存储器、收发器(图中未示出)等外部设备。存储器可以用于存储UE实现各种功能需要执行的程序和相关数据信息。收发器可以包括一个或 多个通信接口以支持与不同设备(例如，基站、其他UE等等)间的通信，这里不具体限制收发器的实现形式。
例如，获取单元101可以经由无线资源控制(Radio Resource Control，RRC)信令来获取CSI资源配置和CSI报告配置。CSI资源配置用于配置对哪些参考信号进行测量，CSI报告配置用于配置波束测量结果的上报方式。其中，CSI资源类型可以是周期性的、半静态的或者非周期性的。相应地，CSI报告可以是周期性的、半静态的或者非周期性的。
本文所述的参考信号包括但不限于CSI-RS或SSB。在以下的描述中将以CSI-RS作为示例，但是应该理解，这些描述对其他下行参考信号同样适用，并不是限制性的。
对于周期性的方式，UE对CSI资源配置中配置的参考信号(对应于波束)进行周期性测量，并且发送单元102根据CSI报告配置将波束测量结果发送给基站。
对于后两种形式，获取单元101还被配置为从基站获取对CSI报告配置的非周期触发或半静态触发，并且发送单元102被配置为基于非周期触发或半静态触发中指示的CSI报告配置进行波束测量和波束测量结果的发送。例如，非周期触发或半静态触发指示对CSI资源配置所配置的参考信号的至少一部分进行波束测量和测量结果上报。CSI报告配置中需要指示与其相关联的CSI资源配置。
为了便于理解，图2示出了非周期触发或半静态触发方式下的CSI框架的示例。例如，在非周期触发的情况中，获取单元101例如通过下行控制信息(Downlink Control Information，DCI)从基站获取CSI非周期触发状态列表，其中每个状态包含相关联的CSI报告配置(CSI-ReportConfig)的列表。在半静态触发的情况中，获取单元101例如通过MAC CE从基站获取CSI半静态触发状态列表，其中每个状态包含一个相关联的CSI-ReportConfig。在图2的示例中，一个CSI-ReportConfig与一个CSI资源配置(CSI-ResourceConfig)相关联，CSI-ResourceConfig中包括NZP-CSI-RS资源集、CSI-SSB资源集和CSI-IM资源集，还包括对于资源类型的指示(即，周期、非周期还是半静态)，CSI-ReportConfig还包括指示用于进行测量结果上报的上行 BWP的标识(UL-BWP-ID，图2中未示出)的信息。另外，在图2的CSI-ResourceConfig中，包括下行参考信号的资源所在的BWP的标识(ID)。换言之，在图2所示的CSI框架中，一个CSI-ReportConfig对应一个CSI-ResourceConfig，一个CSI-ResourceConfig对应一个BWP。
为了使得能够测量和报告多个BWP上的波束，本实施例对图2的CSI框架进行了如下改进：一个CSI-ReportConfig可以与一个或多个CSI-ResourceConfig相关联，CSI-ResourceConfig包括针对一个或多个BWP上的参考信号的资源配置。注意，在本文中，对其进行测量和上报的BWP指的是下行BWP，对于上行BWP没有任何限制。
在第一示例中，CSI报告配置与多个CSI资源配置相关联，每个CSI资源配置是针对一个BWP的配置。图3示出了该情况下的CSI框架的一个示例。可以看出，各个CSI资源配置中所配置的参考信号的资源是在一个BWP上(具有相同的DL-BWP-ID)的，当各个CSI资源配置中的DL-BWP-ID不同时，CSI报告配置可以与多个BWP上的参考信号的资源配置相关联，从而对多个BWP上的波束测量结果进行上报。
例如，UE被配置为在UL BWP #1上上报CSI，该CSI-ReportConfig #1所关联的CSI-ResourceConfig #1对应的BWP为DL BWP#1，所关联的CSI-ResourceConfig #2对应的BWP为DL BWP#2，所关联的CSI-ResourceConfig #3对应的BWP为DL BWP#3。当UE接收到对CSI-ReportConfig #1的非周期或半静态触发时，可以对DL BWP#1、DL BWP#2和DL BWP#3上的波束进行测量和上报。
另外，为了保证在CSI上报时能够区分不同BWP上的波束ID，不同BWP上的参考信号标识(RS-ID)可以是不同的。比如CSI-ResourceConfig #1对应的BWP为DL BWP#1，包含NZP-CSI-RS-resource#1、#2、#3，CSI-ResourceConfig #2对应的BWP为DL BWP#2，包含NZP-CSI-RS-resource#4、#5、#6，UE可以根据测量结果，找到质量最好的波束来上报其ID和L1-RSRP，假设最好的波束为CRI(CSI-RS资源标识)#4，则上报内容为{CRI#4，L1-RSRP#4}。如果不同BWP上的RS-ID相同，则需要修改波束上报的内容。比如CSI-ResourceConfig #1和#2包含的均为NZP-CSI-RS resource#1、#2、#3，则上报内容可以为{CSI-ResourceConfig #2，CRI#1，L1-RSRP#1}。
例如，38.331中针对RRC参数的伪代码可以修改如下(下划线部分示出了修改)：

在第二示例中，CSI报告配置与一个CSI资源配置相关联，每个CSI资源配置包括多个CSI资源集合，每个CSI资源集合对应一个BWP。图4示出了该情况下的CSI框架的一个示例。可以看出，CSI资源配置中的每个CSI资源集合中包括DL-BWP-ID字段，指示该资源集合中的参考信号的资源是在该ID对应的BWP上的。当各个CSI资源集合中的DL-BWP-ID不同时，CSI报告配置可以与多个BWP上的参考信号的资源配置相关联，从而对多个BWP上的波束测量结果进行上报。注意，在图4中示出了NZP-CSI-RS资源集合作为示例，但是这并不是限制性 的，本方案也可以适用于其他参考信号的资源集合。
例如，UE被配置为在UL BWP #1上上报CSI，该CSI-ReportConfig#1所关联的CSI-ResourceConfig #1中NZP-CSI-RS-ResourceSet #1对应的BWP为DL BWP#1，NZP-CSI-RS-ResourceSet #2对应的BWP为DL BWP #2，NZP-CSI-RS-ResourceSet #3对应的BWP为DL BWP#3。当UE接收到非周期或半静态CSI-ReportConfig #1的触发时，可以对DL BWP#1、DL BWP#2和DL BWP#3上的波束进行测量和上报。
另外，为了保证在CSI上报时能够区分不同BWP上的波束ID，不同BWP上的RS-ID可以是不同的。比如NZP-CSI-RS-ResourceSet #1对应的BWP为DL BWP#1，包含NZP-CSI-RS-resource #1、#2、#3，NZP-CSI-RS-ResourceSet #2对应的BWP为DL BWP#2，包含NZP-CSI-RS-resource#4、#5、#6，UE可以根据测量结果，找到质量最好的波束来上报其ID及L1-RSRP，假设最好的波束为CRI(CSI-RS资源标识)#4，则上报内容为{CRI#4，L1-RSRP#4}。如果不同BWP上的RS-ID相同，则需要修改波束上报的内容。比如NZP-CSI-RS-ResourceSet #1和#2均包含NZP-CSI-RS-resource#1、#2、#3，则上报内容可以为{NZP-CSI-RS-ResourceSet #2，CRI#1，L1-RSRP#1}。
例如，38.331中针对RRC参数的伪代码可以修改如下(下划线部分示出了修改)：

Figure PCTCN2021081450-appb-000003
在第三示例中，CSI报告配置与一个CSI资源配置相关联，每个CSI资源配置包括多个CSI资源集合，每个CSI资源集合中的各个CSI资源分别对应于一个BWP。图5示出了该情况下的CSI框架的一个示例。可以看出，CSI资源配置中的每个CSI资源集合中的每个CSI资源包括DL-BWP-ID字段，指示相应参考信号的资源是在该ID对应的BWP上的。当各个CSI资源的DL-BWP-ID不同时，CSI报告配置可以与多个BWP上的参考信号的资源配置相关联，从而对多个BWP上的波束测量结果进行上报。类似地，虽然图5中示出了NZP-CSI-RS资源作为示例，但是这并不是限制性的，本方案也可以适用于其他参考信号的资源。
例如，UE被配置为在UL BWP #1上上报CSI，该CSI-ReportConfig #1所关联的CSI-ResourceConfig #1中的NZP-CSI-RS-ResourceSet #1包括NZP-CSI-RS-Resource #1、NZP-CSI-RS-Resource #2和NZP-CSI-RS-Resource #3，分别对应于DL BWP #1、DL BWP #2和DL BWP #3。当UE接收到非周期或半静态CSI-ReportConfig #1的触发时，可以对DL BWP#1、DL BWP#2和DL BWP#3上的波束进行测量和上报。
例如，38.331中针对RRC参数的伪代码可以修改如下(下划线部分示出了修改)：

应该理解，上述图3至图5和伪代码均是示例，并不是限制性的。
综上所述，根据本实施例的电子设备100通过对CSI框架进行改进，能够在不增加UE复杂度的情况下实现对多个BWP上的波束的测量和上报。
<第二实施例>
在本实施例中，将按照UE仅能激活一个BWP和UE能激活多个BWP两种情形，具体描述UE在测量多个BWP上的波束或者非当前激活的BWP上的波束并进行上报的示例。
可以理解，如果UE仅能激活一个BWP且需要反馈非当前激活BWP上的CSI，则UE需要切换到该非当前激活的BWP上，以在该BWP上执行PDCCH的监听、PDSCH的接收等。
尤其地，例如在NTN中，对于除初始BWP以外的BWP，每个BWP上仅有特定波束传输，并且所有波束均在初始BWP上传输，如图6所示。其中，每个小区有8个波束，频率复用因子FRF＝3，不同的波束用不同的图案表示。可以看出，用F1表示的波束仅在BWP 1上传输，用F2表示的波束仅在BWP 2上传输，而所有波束均在初始BWP上进行SSB/SIB的传输，并且可以进行CSI-RS的传输，也可以不进行CSI-RS的传输。
换言之，在某段时间内比如RRC配置完成至下一次RRC配置的时 间内，除了初始BWP之外，波束与BWP是绑定的。在这种情况下，每测量一个波束，需要执行一次BWP切换并进行测量结果上报，增加了延迟和开销，且测量结果由于老化(aging)而不准确。
鉴于此，本实施例提供了一种电子设备100，除了第一实施例所述的各个单元之外，如图7所示，电子设备100还包括：执行单元103，被配置为在基于CSI报告配置确定要对当前非激活的BWP上的波束进行测量的情况下，切换到该非当前激活BWP以在该非当前激活的BWP上进行波束测量，并在测量完成后切换回当前激活的BWP。
注意，以上虽然给出了BWP与波束绑定的场景的示例，但是本实施例的方案并不限于此，同样也可以应用于BWP与波束不绑定的场景。
示例性地，执行单元103在确定要对多个非当前激活的BWP上的波束进行测量的情况下，可以顺次切换到该多个非当前激活的BWP上进行波束测量，并在所有波束测量结束后，在CSI报告配置中指示的上行BWP上向基站发送波束测量结果。例如，假设UE当前激活的DL BWP是BWP#3，UE收到了一个非周期CSI触发，其对应的参考信号分别位于BWP#1和BWP#2上，则UE将执行如下操作：切换到BWP#1，完成BWP#1上的波束测量；然后切换到BWP#2，完成BWP#2上的波束测量；切换回BWP#3继续监听PDCCH以及接收PDSCH，同时在CSI报告配置中指示的UL BWP上根据在DL BWP#1、BWP#2上的测量结果进行上报。其中，非周期CSI触发可以采用第一实施例中所述的各种CSI框架，在此不再重复。
这样，可以在多次执行测量后一次上报测量结果，减小了信令开销和时延。此外，波束测量结果可以仅包括beam ID，也可以包括beam ID和对应的参考信号接收功率(RSRP)。在只上报beam ID时，可以仅上报RSRP最大的beam ID或者RSRP超过一定阈值的beam ID。在上报beam ID与其对应的RSRP时，可以上报最大RSRP的波束的RSRP的绝对值以及其他波束的RSRP的相对值。通过一次上报测量结果，可以采用灵活多样的上报形式，进一步减小信令开销。
或者，执行单元103在确定要对多个非当前激活的BWP上的波束进行测量的情况下，可以切换到初始BWP上进行相应的波束的测量。这是因为，所有波束均在初始BWP上传输。
此外，在另一个示例中，CSI报告配置与针对初始BWP上的参考信号的资源配置的CSI资源配置相关联，执行单元103被配置为切换到初始BWP上进行波束测量，并针对初始BWP进行上报。应该注意，在本文中的测量和切换(以及后文所述的激活)等操作是针对下行BWP的，而不对用于上报测量结果的上行BWP构成任何限制。示例性地，CSI报告配置还可以指示在初始BWP上进行波束测量结果的上报。换言之，基站指示在初始BWP上进行波束测量。在这种情况下，UE切换到初始BWP上对所指示的所有波束进行测量，随后切换回当前激活的BWP。例如，UE可以在测量完成后切换回当前激活的BWP，也可以在测量结果上报完成之后切换切换回当前激活的BWP，或者在其间的任何时间点处切换回当前激活的BWP，这都不是限制性的。
比如，假设UE在CSI报告配置#1中被配置为在UL BWP #1上上报CSI，该CSI报告配置#1所对应的BWP为DL BWP#0(即初始BWP)，当UE在当前激活的DL BWP #1上接收到针对该CSI报告配置#1的非周期触发时，UE执行BWP切换，以切换到初始BWP上,UE在初始BWP上完成测量后，在UL BWP#1上完成上报，并切换回DL BWP #1。
例如，初始BWP上的参考信号可以由基站预先配置，例如基站可以通过RRC信令来进行配置。示例性地，初始BWP上的参考信号可以为波束故障恢复中配置的候选波束的参考信号的一部分或全部。如果该CSI上报是周期性的，则UE基于配置的全部参考信号进行测量和上报；如果该CSI上报是半静态的，则基站可以通过MAC CE指示参考信号中的一部分，UE基于指示的那部分参考信号进行测量和上报；如果该CSI上报是非周期触发的，则基站可以通过DCI指示参考信号中的一部分，UE基于指示的那部分参考信号进行测量和上报。
为了执行BWP切换，UE可以从基站获取显性的BWP切换指示，也可以基于隐性的BWP切换指示来进行。
在隐式方式中，执行单元103被配置为以预定定时执行在BWP间的切换。例如，执行单元103在基于非周期触发或半静态触发中指示的CSI报告配置确定要对当前非激活的BWP上的波束进行测量时，以预定定时自动切换到该当前非激活BWP，在该当前非激活BWP上完成测量后，切换回当前激活的BWP。
其中，预定定时可以基于如下中的一个或多个确定：基站和UE之间的具体的信令，预定或指定定时关系。例如，对于非周期触发的情况，UE在可以在收到触发后的X个时隙(slot)后执行BWP切换，以及在反馈CSI报告后的Y个时隙后执行BWP切换。对于半静态触发的情况，UE在收到包含该MAC CE的PDSCH的X个slot之后或者在反馈该PDSCH的ACK之后的x个slot之后执行BWP切换，取决于该系统中harq feedback disable的情况。而对于周期性触发的情况，UE例如可以在一个周期开始后的X个时隙后执行BWP切换，以及在反馈CSI报告后的Y个时隙后执行BWP切换，等等。这里的x、X、Y可以由基站指定，也可以由基站和UE事先约定好。
在显示方式中，UE从基站接收BWP切换指示以及上报指示，并响应于BWP切换指示执行切换，响应于上报指示上报测量结果。
对于切换到初始BWP的情形，获取单元101被配置为从基站获取第一切换指令，该第一切换指令指示从当前激活的BWP切换到初始BWP。UE响应于该第一切换指令切换到初始BWP。获取单元101还被配置为在初始BWP上从基站获取CSI请求，UE响应于该CSI请求进行测量结果的上报。此外，获取单元101还被配置为从基站获取第二切换指令，该第二切换指令指示从初始BWP切换到当前激活的BWP。UE响应于该第二切换指令切换回当前激活的BWP。注意，基站可以在发送CSI请求之后立即发送第二切换指令，也可以在接收到上报测量结果之后发送第二切换指令。
应该注意，本文中的第一、第二、……仅是为了区分的目的，而不存在任何顺序上的含义。
对于切换到其他非当前激活的BWP的情形，获取单元101被配置为针对多个非当前激活的BWP中的每一个非激活BWP：从基站获取第一BWP切换指令，该第一BWP切换指令指示从当前激活的BWP切换到非激活BWP；在该非激活BWP上从基站获取CSI请求以及表示是否进行波束测量结果的上报的指示。在多个非当前激活的BWP上的测量完成时，获取单元101从基站获取要进行波束测量结果的上报的指示，并从基站获取第二BWP切换指令，该第二BWP切换指令指示从非激活BWP切换到当前激活的BWP。
根据该配置，UE顺次切换到各个非激活BWP进行波束测量，在所有测量完成后响应于来自基站的上报测量结果的指示向基站发送波束测量结果，并响应于第二BWP切换指令切换回当前激活的BWP。
示例性地，假设基站想要获得UE对于分别位于非激活的BWP#1和BWP#2上的参考信号的测量结果，则基站和UE执行如下操作：基站向UE发送第一BWP切换指令；UE切换到BWP#1；基站向UE发送BWP#1上的CSI请求，并指示UE不要上报测量结果；基站向UE发送第一BWP切换指令；UE切换到BWP#2；基站向UE发送BWP#2上的CSI请求，并指示UE要上报测量结果；UE根据在BWP#1和BWP#2上的测量结果进行综合反馈。具体的反馈形式在前文中已经给出，在此不再重复。
此外，对于切换到其他非当前激活的BWP的情形，获取单元101也可以被配置为针对多个非当前激活的BWP：从基站获取第一BWP切换指令，该第一BWP切换指令指示从当前激活的BWP按一定顺序切换到多个非激活BWP中的每一个。在多个非当前激活的BWP上的测量完成时，获取单元101从基站获取第二BWP切换指令，该第二BWP切换指令指示从非激活BWP切换到当前激活的BWP。
示例性地，假设基站想要获得UE对于分别位于非激活的BWP#1和BWP#2上的参考信号的测量结果，则基站和UE执行如下操作：基站向UE发送第一BWP切换指令，该第一BWP切换指令指示从当前激活的BWP先切换到BWP#1再切换到BWP#2；UE先后切换到BWP#1，BWP#2进行波束测量，根据在BWP#1和BWP#2上的测量结果进行综合反馈。具体的反馈形式在前文中已经给出，在此不再重复。
在另一种情形下，UE能够同时激活多个BWP(这里指的是下行BWP)。在本实施例中，通过以不同的方式激活多个BWP来实现这一点。UE能够同时激活的BWP的个数的信息可以由UE提供给基站。示例性地，该个数的信息可以作为单独的参数(比如作为UE的能力信息的一部分)上报。或者，可以将该个数与UE能够同时支持的用于移动性管理的参考信号中的成份载波(CC)个数联合考虑，作为一种整体的能力信息。例如，假如UE能够同时支持的用于移动性管理的参考信号中的CC个数和能够同时激活的BWP的个数的总和不变，当能够同时激活的BWP的个数增加时，可以相应的降低用于移动性管理的参考信号中的 CC个数，这有助于不增加UE复杂度。
例如，执行单元103被配置为在基于CSI报告配置确定要对非当前激活的BWP上的波束进行测量的情况下，将该非当前激活的BWP确定为次激活BWP，以在该次激活BWP上进行波束测量。以下为了区分，将当前激活的BWP称为主激活BWP。UE在主激活BWP上执行PDCCH监测和PDSCH的接收等操作，在次激活BWP上仅执行波束测量的操作，即UE仅为该次激活BWP上报CSI。
进一步地，执行单元103被配置为将非当前激活的BWP激活为次激活BWP，以使得能够在次激活BWP上进行波束测量，并在测量完成后，去激活该次激活BWP。
执行单元103在确定要对多个非当前激活的BWP上的波束进行测量的情况下，在所有次激活BWP上的波束测量结束后，在CSI报告配置中指示的上行BWP上向基站发送波束测量结果。示例性地，假设UE当前激活的BWP为BWP #1，根据CSI报告配置，UE要对两个非当前激活的BWP #2和BWP #3进行测量和上报，则UE将BWP #2激活到次激活状态，并在BWP #2上执行波束测量，测量完成后将BWP #2去激活到非激活状态。类似地，UE对BWP #3执行相同的操作。在对BWP#2和BWP #3的测量完成后，UE基于所有的测量结果执行上报。
例如，不同次激活BWP上要测量的RS的资源ID可以不同，在这种情况下，波束测量结果包括RS的资源ID。而在不同次激活BWP上要测量的RS的资源ID相同的情况下，除了RS的资源ID之外，波束测量结果还包括指示相应BWP的ID的信息，例如前述CSI-ResourceConfig的ID或者NZP-CSI-RS-Resourceset的ID，等等，以便于基站识别相应的波束是哪个BWP上的波束。有关描述在第一实施例中已经给出，在此不再详述。
此外，基站还可以为UE配置初始BWP上的参考信号，以使得UE在初始BWP上进行波束测量。在这种情况下，CSI报告配置(在半静态或非周期触发中，为被触发的CSI报告配置)与包括针对初始BWP上的参考信号的资源配置的CSI资源配置相关联，则初始BWP为次激活BWP，执行单元103在初始BWP上进行波束测量，并在CSI报告配置中指示的上行BWP上发送波束测量结果。例如，UE当前激活的BWP 为BWP #1，UE在该BWP上接收到对于CSI-ReportConfig #1的非周期触发，CSI-ReportConfig #1中指示在UL BWP #1上上报CSI，并且相关联的CSI-ResourceConfig对应的BWP为初始BWP(DL BWP #0)，则UE将初始BWP激活为次激活BWP，在初始BWP上执行波束测量，并且完成后在UL BWP #1上上报测量结果。
示例性地，初始BWP上的参考信号可以为波束故障恢复中配置的候选波束的参考信号的全部或一部分。在基站通过RRC信令为UE配置了初始BWP上的参考信号后，可以通过MAC CE激活以及/或者通过DCI指示的方式选择部分参考信号让UE进行测量和上报。此外，对于周期性CSI上报，UE可以对所配置的所有参考信号进行测量和上报。
BWP的激活和去激活的执行，可以采用显性方式，也可以采用隐性方式。
在隐性方式中，执行单元103被配置为对CSI报告配置中指示的非当前激活的BWP进行自动激活和去激活。例如，当确定要对某个非当前激活的BWP上的波束进行测量时，该非当前激活的BWP被默认激活为次激活BWP，在测量结束后，自动将其去激活为非激活状态。示例性地，假设当前激活的BWP为BWP #1，UE在BWP #1上收到一个对于CSI报告配置的非周期触发，其对应的CSI资源在BWP #2上，此时BWP#2被自动激活为次激活BWP，在测量结束后，BWP #2由次激活BWP自动变为非激活BWP。
在显性方式中，获取单元101被配置为从基站获取激活和去激活指示。例如，获取单元101可以通过RRC配置、MAC CE激活或DCI指示来获取激活或去激活指示。
示例性地，通过RRC可以最多配置4个BWP，其中1个为初始BWP(BWP #0)，1个为当前使用的BWP #1，其他两个分别为BWP #2和BWP #3，在UE收到针对BWP #2和BWP #3上的波束的测量触发时，基站通过DCI将BWP #2和BWP #3激活为次激活BWP。
综上所述，根据本实施例的电子设备100能够在不增加UE复杂度的情况下实现对多个BWP上的波束的测量和上报，同时减小信令开销和时延。
<第三实施例>
图8示出了根据本申请的另一个实施例的电子设备200的功能模块框图，如图8所示，电子设备200包括：提供单元201，被配置为向UE提供CSI资源配置和CSI报告配置，其中，CSI报告配置与一个或多个CSI资源配置相关联，CSI资源配置包括针对一个或多个BWP上的参考信号的资源配置；以及获取单元202，被配置为基于CSI报告配置从UE获取通过测量相关联的CSI资源配置中指定的参考信号而获得的与参考信号对应的波束的波束测量结果。
其中，提供单元201和获取单元202可以由一个或多个处理电路实现，该处理电路例如可以实现为芯片。并且，应该理解，图8中所示的装置中的各个功能单元仅是根据其所实现的具体功能而划分的逻辑模块，而不是用于限制具体的实现方式。
电子设备200例如可以设置在基站侧或者可通信地连接到基站。这里，还应指出，电子设备200可以以芯片级来实现，或者也可以以设备级来实现。例如，电子设备200可以工作为基站本身，并且还可以包括诸如存储器、收发器(未示出)等外部设备。存储器可以用于存储基站实现各种功能需要执行的程序和相关数据信息。收发器可以包括一个或多个通信接口以支持与不同设备(例如，用户设备、其他基站等等)间的通信，这里不具体限制收发器的实现形式。
例如，提供单元201可以经由RRC信令来提供CSI资源配置和CSI报告配置。CSI资源配置用于配置对哪些参考信号进行测量，CSI报告配置用于配置波束测量结果的上报方式。其中，CSI资源类型可以是周期性的、半静态的或者非周期性的。相应地，CSI报告可以是周期性的、半静态的或者非周期性的。
这里所述的参考信号包括但不限于CSI-RS或SSB。在以下的描述中将以CSI-RS作为示例，但是应该理解，这些描述对其他下行参考信号同样适用，并不是限制性的。
对于周期性的方式，UE对CSI资源配置中配置的参考信号(对应于波束)进行周期性测量，并且获取单元202根据CSI报告配置从UE获取波束测量结果。
对于后两种形式，提供单元201还被配置为向UE发送对CSI报告 配置的非周期触发或半静态触发，以使得UE基于非周期触发或半静态触发中指示的CSI报告配置进行波束测量和波束测量结果的发送。例如，非周期触发或半静态触发指示对CSI资源配置所配置的参考信号的至少一部分进行波束测量和测量结果上报。CSI报告配置中需要指示与其相关联的CSI资源配置。
返回参照图2，例如，在非周期触发的情况中，提供单元201例如通过DCI向UE发送CSI非周期触发状态列表，其中每个状态包含相关联的CSI报告配置(CSI-ReportConfig)的列表。在半静态触发的情况中，提供单元201例如通过MAC CE向UE发送CSI半静态触发状态列表，其中每个状态包含一个相关联的CSI-ReportConfig。
为了使得UE能够测量和报告多个BWP上的波束，本实施例对图2的CSI框架进行了如下改进：一个CSI-ReportConfig可以与一个或多个CSI-ResourceConfig相关联，CSI-ResourceConfig包括针对一个或多个BWP上的参考信号的资源配置。
在第一示例中，CSI报告配置与多个CSI资源配置相关联，每个CSI资源配置是针对一个BWP的配置。图3示出了该情况下的CSI框架的一个示例。可以看出，各个CSI资源配置中所配置的参考信号的资源是在一个BWP上(具有相同的DL-BWP-ID)的，当各个CSI资源配置中的DL-BWP-ID不同时，CSI报告配置可以与多个BWP上的参考信号的资源配置相关联，从而对多个BWP上的波束测量结果进行上报。
在第二示例中，CSI报告配置与一个CSI资源配置相关联，每个CSI资源配置包括多个CSI资源集合，每个CSI资源集合对应一个BWP。图4示出了该情况下的CSI框架的一个示例。可以看出，CSI资源配置中的每个CSI资源集合中包括DL-BWP-ID字段，指示该资源集合中的参考信号的资源是在该ID对应的BWP上的。当各个CSI资源集合中的DL-BWP-ID不同时，CSI报告配置可以与多个BWP上的参考信号的资源配置相关联，从而对多个BWP上的波束测量结果进行上报。注意，在图4中示出了NZP-CSI-RS资源集合作为示例，但是这并不是限制性的，本方案也可以适用于其他参考信号的资源集合。
在第三示例中，CSI报告配置与一个CSI资源配置相关联，每个CSI资源配置包括多个CSI资源集合，每个CSI资源集合中的各个CSI资源 分别对应于一个BWP。图5示出了该情况下的CSI框架的一个示例。可以看出，CSI资源配置中的每个CSI资源集合中的每个CSI资源包括DL-BWP-ID字段，指示相应参考信号的资源是在该ID对应的BWP上的。当各个CSI资源的DL-BWP-ID不同时，CSI报告配置可以与多个BWP上的参考信号的资源配置相关联，从而对多个BWP上的波束测量结果进行上报。类似地，虽然图5中示出了NZP-CSI-RS资源作为示例，但是这并不是限制性的，本方案也可以适用于其他参考信号的资源。
以上三个示例在第一实施例中已经给出了详细描述，同样适用于本实施例，在此不再重复。
在本实施例中，将按照UE仅能激活一个BWP和UE能激活多个BWP两种情形，具体描述基站从UE获取波束测量结果的示例。
可以理解，如果UE仅能激活一个BWP且需要反馈非当前激活BWP上的CSI，则UE需要切换到该非当前激活的BWP上，以在该BWP上执行PDCCH的监听、PDSCH的接收等。
尤其地，例如在NTN中，对于除初始BWP以外的BWP，每个BWP上仅有特定波束传输，并且所有波束均在初始BWP上传输，如图6所示。即，在某段时间内比如RRC配置完成至下一次RRC配置的时间内，除了初始BWP之外，波束与BWP是绑定的。在这种情况下，每测量一个波束，需要执行一次BWP切换并进行测量结果上报，增加了延迟和开销，且测量结果由于老化(aging)而不准确。
鉴于此，本实施例提供了一种电子设备100，用于指示UE在多个BWP间切换以进行波束测量，并且仅统一上报一次测量结果。注意，以上虽然给出了BWP与波束绑定的场景的示例，但是本实施例的方案并不限于此，同样也可以应用于BWP与波束不绑定的场景。
示例性地，在CSI报告配置指示要对一个或多个非当前激活的BWP上的波束进行测量的情况下，针对一个或多个非当前激活的BWP中的每一个非激活BWP，提供单元201被配置为：向UE发送第一切换指令，该第一切换指令指示UE从当前激活的BWP切换到非激活BWP；向UE发送该非激活BWP上的CSI请求以及表示是否进行波束测量结果上报的指示。其中，针对一个或多个非当前激活的BWP中的最后一个非激活BWP，提供单元201向UE发送要进行波束测量结果的上报的指示。 并且，提供单元201还向UE发送第二切换指令，该第二切换指令指示UE从非激活BWP切换到当前激活的BWP。
UE将响应于上述第一切换指令、CSI请求、是否进行波束测量结果上报的指示、第二切换指令等执行BWP的切换、波束测量结果的上报、切换回当前激活的BWP等操作。可以看出，在多个非当前激活的BWP的情况中，除了针对最后一个非激活BWP之外，针对其他非激活BWP发送的是否进行波束测量结果上报的指示均为代表否的指示，以使得UE可以在所有测量完成后统一进行上报。
此外，在CSI报告配置指示要对多个非当前激活的BWP上的波束进行测量的情况下，提供单元201也可以被配置为针对多个非当前激活的BWP：向UE发送第一BWP切换指令，该第一BWP切换指令指示UE从当前激活的BWP按一定顺序切换到多个非激活BWP中的每一个。类似地，UE在所有BWP上的测量完成后进行上报。此外，提供单元201还被配置为向UE发送第二BWP切换指令，该第二BWP切换指令指示UE从非激活BWP切换到当前激活的BWP。
根据该示例，UE在多次执行测量后一次上报测量结果，减小了信令开销和时延。此外，由于进行一次测量结果上报，可以采用灵活多样的上报形式，从而进一步减小信令开销。相关的详细描述在第二实施例中已经给出，在此不再重复。
此外，在另一个示例中，CSI报告配置与针对初始BWP上的参考信号的资源配置的CSI资源配置相关联，换言之，基站为UE配置、激活或指示与初始BWP相关的CSI资源配置所对应的CSI报告配置。在这种情况下，CSI报告配置还可以指示在初始BWP上进行波束测量结果的上报。当然，本文并不对用于上报测量结果的上行BWP进行限制。
UE将切换到初始BWP上对所指示的所有波束进行测量并上报测量结果。此外，UE还需切换回当前激活的BWP。
相应地，提供单元201被配置为向UE发送第一切换指令，该第一切换指令指示UE从当前激活的BWP切换到初始BWP；向UE发送初始BWP上的CSI请求；以及向UE发送第二切换指令，该第二切换指令指示UE从初始BWP切换到当前激活的BWP。可以看出，由于所有的测量均在初始BWP上执行，因此UE只需要执行一次BWP切换，并 且测量完成后即可上报。
例如，初始BWP上的参考信号可以由基站预先配置，例如基站可以通过RRC信令来进行配置。示例性地，初始BWP上的参考信号可以为波束故障恢复中配置的候选波束的参考信号的一部分或全部。
在另一种情形下，UE能够同时激活多个BWP(这里指的是下行BWP)。在本实施例中，通过以不同的方式激活多个BWP来实现这一点。基站可以从UE获取UE能够同时激活的BWP的个数的信息。如前所述，该个数的信息可以作为单独的参数上报。或者，也可以将该个数与UE能够同时支持的用于移动性管理的参考信号中的CC个数联合考虑，作为一种整体的能力信息。
例如，提供单元201被配置为在CSI报告配置指示要对非当前激活的BWP上的波束进行测量的情况下，向UE发送激活或去激活指示，以将相应的非当前激活的BWP激活为次激活BWP或者去激活。
为了区分，将当前激活的BWP称为主激活BWP。UE在主激活BWP上执行PDCCH监测和PDSCH的接收等操作，在次激活BWP上仅执行波束测量的操作，即UE仅为该次激活BWP上报CSI。
在CSI报告配置指示要对多个非当前激活的BWP上的波束进行测量的情况下，UE要依次将多个非当前激活的BWP激活为次激活BWP并进行波束测量，然后去激活该次激活BWP，并且在所有测量完成后向基站上报波束测量结果。相应地，提供单元201可以依次激活和去激活该多个非当前激活的BWP。
此外，基站还可以为UE配置初始BWP上的参考信号，以使得UE在初始BWP上进行波束测量。在这种情况下，初始BWP为次激活BWP。示例性地，初始BWP上的参考信号可以为波束故障恢复中配置的候选波束的参考信号的全部或一部分。在基站通过RRC信令为UE配置了初始BWP上的参考信号后，可以通过MAC CE激活以及/或者通过DCI指示的方式选择部分参考信号让UE进行测量和上报。此外，对于周期性CSI上报，UE可以对所配置的所有参考信号进行测量和上报。
例如，提供单元201可以通过RRC配置、MAC CE激活或DCI指示来发送激活或去激活指示。示例性地，基站可以通过RRC最多配置4个BWP，其中1个为初始BWP(BWP #0)，1个为当前使用的BWP #1， 其他两个分别为BWP #2和BWP #3，在CSI报告配置中指示要对BWP #2和BWP #3上的波束进行测量时，基站可以通过DCI发送针对BWP #2和BWP #3的激活和去激活指示。
综上所述，根据本实施例的电子设备200能够通过改进CSI框架，而在不增加UE复杂度的情况下实现对多个BWP上的波束的测量和上报，同时减小信令开销和时延。
<第四实施例>
在上文的实施方式中描述用于无线通信的电子设备的过程中，显然还公开了一些处理或方法。下文中，在不重复上文中已经讨论的一些细节的情况下给出这些方法的概要，但是应当注意，虽然这些方法在描述用于无线通信的电子设备的过程中公开，但是这些方法不一定采用所描述的那些部件或不一定由那些部件执行。例如，用于无线通信的电子设备的实施方式可以部分地或完全地使用硬件和/或固件来实现，而下面讨论的用于无线通信的方法可以完全由计算机可执行的程序来实现，尽管这些方法也可以采用用于无线通信的电子设备的硬件和/或固件。
图9示出了根据本申请的一个实施例的用于无线通信的方法的流程图，该方法包括：从基站获取CSI资源配置和CSI报告配置(S11)，其中，CSI报告配置与一个或多个CSI资源配置相关联，CSI资源配置包括针对一个或多个BWP上的参考信号的资源配置；以及基于CSI报告配置向基站发送通过测量相关联的CSI资源配置中指定的参考信号而获得的与参考信号对应的波束的波束测量结果(S14)。该方法例如可以在UE侧执行。
例如，参考信号可以为信道状态信息参考信号或同步信号块。
如图9中的虚线框所示，上述方法还可以包括步骤S13：从基站获取对CSI报告配置的非周期触发或半静态触发，并基于非周期触发或半静态触发中指示的CSI报告配置进行波束测量和波束测量结果的发送。例如，非周期触发或半静态触发可以指示对CSI资源配置所配置的参考信号的至少一部分进行波束测量和测量结果上报。
在一个示例中，CSI报告配置与多个CSI资源配置相关联，每个CSI 资源配置是针对一个BWP的配置。在另一个示例中，CSI报告配置与一个CSI资源配置相关联，每个CSI资源配置包括多个CSI资源集合，每个CSI资源集合对应一个BWP。在另一个示例中，CSI报告配置与一个CSI资源配置相关联，每个CSI资源配置包括多个CSI资源集合，每个CSI资源集合中的各个CSI资源分别对应于一个BWP。
作为一种应用场景的示例，本方法可以应用于NTN。例如，对于除初始BWP以外的BWP，每个BWP上仅有特定波束传输，并且所有波束均在初始BWP上传输。
如图9中的另一个虚线框所示，上述方法还可以包括步骤S13：执行波束测量。作为一个示例，在步骤S13中，在基于CSI报告配置确定要对非当前激活的BWP上的波束进行测量的情况下，将该非当前激活的BWP确定为次激活BWP，以在次激活BWP上进行波束测量。例如，可以将非当前激活的BWP激活为次激活BWP，以使得能够在次激活BWP上进行波束测量，并在测量完成后，去激活该次激活BWP。
示例性地，可以对CSI报告配置中指示的非当前激活的BWP进行自动激活和去激活；也可以从基站获取激活和去激活指示。例如，可以通过RRC配置、MAC CE激活或DCI指示获取该激活或去激活指示。
针对步骤S14，在确定要对多个非当前激活的BWP上的波束进行测量的情况下，可以在所有次激活BWP上的波束测量结束后，在CSI报告配置中指示的上行BWP上向基站发送波束测量结果。例如，不同次激活BWP上要测量的参考信号的资源标识不同，波束测量结果包括参考信号的资源标识。如果不同次激活BWP上要测量的参考信号的资源标识相同，则波束测量结果包括参考信号的资源标识和指示相应BWP的标识的信息。
此外，在CSI报告配置与包括针对初始BWP上的参考信号的资源配置的CSI资源配置相关联的情况下，初始BWP为次激活BWP，在步骤S13中在初始BWP上进行波束测量，并在步骤S14中在CSI报告配置中指示的上行BWP上发送波束测量结果。例如，初始BWP上的参考信号可以为波束故障恢复中配置的候选波束的参考信号的全部或一部分。
作为另一个示例，在步骤S13中，在基于CSI报告配置确定要对非 当前激活的BWP上的波束进行测量的情况下，切换到非当前激活的BWP以在该非当前激活的BWP上进行波束测量，并在测量完成后切换回当前激活的BWP。例如，可以以预定定时执行在BWP间的切换。
此外，在CSI报告配置与包括针对初始BWP上的参考信号的资源配置的CSI资源配置相关联的情况下，使UE切换到初始BWP进行波束测量，并针对初始BWP进行上报。相应地，上述方法还包括如下步骤：从基站获取第一BWP切换指令，该第一BWP切换指令指示从当前激活的BWP切换到初始BWP；在初始BWP上从该基站获取CSI请求；从基站获取第二BWP切换指令，该第二BWP切换指令指示从初始BWP切换到当前激活的BWP。其中，在从基站获取CSI请求时，向基站发送波束测量结果。初始BWP上的参考信号可以为波束故障恢复中配置的候选波束的参考信号的全部或一部分。
在确定要对多个非当前激活的BWP上的波束进行测量的情况下，可以顺次切换到多个非当前激活的BWP上进行波束测量，并在所有波束测量结束后，在CSI报告配置中指示的上行BWP上向基站发送波束测量结果。上述方法还包括：针对多个非当前激活的BWP中的每一个非激活BWP：从基站获取第一BWP切换指令，该第一BWP切换指令指示从当前激活的BWP切换到该非激活BWP；在该非激活BWP上从该基站获取CSI请求以及表示是否进行波束测量结果的上报的指示，其中，在多个非当前激活的BWP上的测量完成时，从基站获取要进行波束测量结果的上报的指示，并从基站获取第二BWP切换指令，该第二BWP切换指令指示从非激活BWP切换到当前激活的BWP。
图10示出了根据本申请的另一个实施例的用于无线通信的方法的流程图，该方法包括：向UE提供CSI资源配置和CSI报告配置(S21)，其中，CSI报告配置与一个或多个CSI资源配置相关联，CSI资源配置包括针对一个或多个BWP上的参考信号的资源配置；以及基于CSI报告配置从UE获取通过测量相关联的CSI资源配置中指定的参考信号而获得的与参考信号对应的波束的波束测量结果(S23)。该方法例如可以在基站侧执行。
如图10中的虚线框所示，上述方法还可以包括步骤S22：向UE发送对CSI报告配置的非周期触发或半静态触发，以使得UE基于非周期触发或半静态触发中指示的CSI报告配置进行波束测量和波束测量结果 的发送。例如，非周期触发或半静态触发可以指示对CSI资源配置所配置的参考信号的至少一部分进行波束测量和测量结果上报。
在一个示例中，CSI报告配置与多个CSI资源配置相关联，每个CSI资源配置是针对一个BWP的配置。在另一个示例中，CSI报告配置与一个CSI资源配置相关联，每个CSI资源配置包括多个CSI资源集合，每个CSI资源集合对应一个BWP。在另一个示例中，CSI报告配置与一个CSI资源配置相关联，每个CSI资源配置包括多个CSI资源集合，每个CSI资源集合中的各个CSI资源分别对应于一个BWP。
作为一种应用场景的示例，本方法可以应用于NTN。例如，对于除初始BWP以外的BWP，每个BWP上仅有特定波束传输，并且所有波束均在初始BWP上传输。
在UE可以激活多个BWP的情形中，上述方法还包括：在CSI报告配置指示要对非当前激活的BWP上的波束进行测量的情况下，向UE发送激活和去激活指示，以将相应的非当前激活的BWP激活为次激活BWP或去激活。例如，可以通过RRC配置、MAC CE激活或DCI指示发送该激活或去激活指示。
在UE只能激活一个BWP的情形中，在一个示例中，在CSI报告配置与包括针对初始BWP上的参考信号的资源配置的CSI资源配置相关联的情况下，上述方法还包括：向UE发送第一BWP切换指令，该第一BWP切换指令指示UE从当前激活的BWP切换到初始BWP；向UE发送初始BWP上的CSI请求；向UE发送第二BWP切换指令，该第二BWP切换指令指示UE从初始BWP切换到当前激活的BWP。例如，初始BWP上的参考信号为波束故障恢复中配置的候选波束的参考信号的全部或一部分。
在另一个示例中，CSI报告配置指示要对一个或多个非当前激活的BWP上的波束进行测量，上述方法包括：针对一个或多个非当前激活的BWP中的每一个非激活BWP：向UE发送第一BWP切换指令，该第一BWP切换指令指示UE从当前激活的BWP切换到该非激活BWP；向UE发送该非激活BWP上的CSI请求以及表示是否进行波束测量结果的上报的指示，其中，针对一个或多个非当前激活的BWP中的最后一个非激活BWP，向UE发送要进行波束测量结果的上报的指示，并向UE 发送第二BWP切换指令，该第二BWP切换指令指示UE从非激活BWP切换到当前激活的BWP。
上述方法分别对应于第一实施例和第二实施例中所描述的装置100以及第三实施例中所描述的装置200，其具体细节可参见以上相应位置的描述，在此不再重复。注意，上述各个方法可以结合或单独使用。
