一种通信方法及装置
相关申请的交叉引用
本申请要求在2020年04月30日提交中国专利局、申请号为202010367143.1、申请名称为“一种通信方法及装置”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
本申请涉及通信技术领域，尤其涉及一种通信方法及装置。
背景技术
在卫星通信中，小区的覆盖范围一般比较大，例如小区直径从50KM到1000KM不等。由于卫星距离地球很远，所以卫星的天线指向角度非常重要，稍有偏移就会导致投射到地面的小区位置偏移几十千米到上百千米，因此，如何保证卫星的天线指向角度不偏移非常重要。
其中，低轨(low-earth orbit，LEO)卫星的轨道高度为160～2 000km。LEO卫星绕着地球高速飞行，其速度接近7km/s。LEO卫星投射到地面的小区包括两种模式：移动小区(Moving cell)和凝视小区(Fixed cell)。
Moving cell是指LEO卫星投射到地面的小区跟着卫星一起移动，一般地，当LEO卫星的天线与地面垂直时，LEO卫星投射到地面的小区为Moving cell。其中，LEO卫星不论是作为独立基站还是中继基站，Moving cell都是跟着LEO卫星一起移动，而且LEO卫星与终端设备的相对距离一直在改变。一段时间之后，LEO卫星的信号可能无法覆盖该终端设备，如果网络部署比较完善，则会有下一个LEO卫星来覆盖终端设备，由于卫星系统是球状的，下一个LEO卫星可能来自各个角度。
Fixed cell，是指LEO卫星投射到地面的小区相对于地面静止，不同LEO卫星通过调整天线指向角度完成地面同一区域的覆盖，当某个LEO卫星无法覆盖到该区域时，由另一个LEO卫星接替，如图1所示。
因此，在以上两种模式下的小区中，卫星的天线指向角度一旦出现偏差，就会引起严重的小区偏移。特别是LEO小区采用Fixed cell的场景下，通过不断改变卫星的天线指向角度来保证投射到地面的小区的覆盖区域不变，实现难度较大，且容易出错。

具体实施方式
下面结合附图，对本申请的实施例进行描述。
以下对与本申请实施例相关的现有技术概念进行简要介绍：
一、无线资源控制(radio resource control，RRC)状态
在新空口(new radio，NR)中，终端设备的RRC状态包括连接态(RRC_CONNECTED), 去激活态或者第三态(RRC_INACTIVE),空闲态(RRC_IDLE)，其中，终端设备处于RRC_CONNECTED状态时，终端设备与网络设备以及核心网都已建立链路，当有数据到达核心网时可以直接传送到终端设备；当终端设备处于RRC_INACTIVE状态时，表示终端设备之前和网络设备以及核心网建立过链路，但是终端设备到网络设备这一段链路被释放了，虽然链路被释放了，但是网络设备会存储终端设备的上下文，当有数据需要传输时，网络设备可以快速恢复这段链路；当终端设备处于RRC_IDLE状态时，终端设备与网络设备以及核心网之间都没有链路，当有数据需要传输时，需要建立终端设备到网络设备及核心网的链路。三种状态的转换如图2所示：
二、卫星通信
卫星通信，即非地面通信(non-terrestrial network，NTN)，该项研究从19世纪60年代至今一直是研究领域的热门。得益于现如今“任意时间、任意地点”通信的概念，卫星通信的地位在未来还将进一步的提升。通常来说，卫星的轨道越高其覆盖面积越大，但是通信时延也越长。一般说来，卫星的运行轨道根据高度可以分为：
(1)LEO：轨道高度为160～2000km；
(2)中轨道(medium earth orbit，MEO)：轨道高度为2000～35786km；
(3)静止轨道(geostationary earth orbit，GEO)：轨道高度为35786km，运行在此轨道上的卫星与地球的相对位置不受地球自转的影响。
其中，LEO卫星距离地面近、通信时延短、数据传输率高，其重量体积与个人移动设备相差无几，更适合大众市场普及，成为当前产业发展的热点。从1990年至今，数个低轨道卫星通信网络和中轨道卫星通信网络已正式提供商业服务，其中比较著名的包括低轨道的铱星网络和中轨道的O3b网络。
三、测量机制
移动性管理是无线移动通信中的重要组成部分。移动性管理是为了保证网络设备与终端设备之间的通信链路不因终端设备的移动而中断所涉及到的相关内容的统称。根据终端设备的状态大致上可以分为空闲态移动性管理和连接态移动性管理两部分。在空闲态/去激活态下，移动性管理主要指的是小区选择/重选(cell selection/reselection)的过程，在连接态下，移动性管理主要指的是小区切换(handover)过程。不论是小区选择/重选还是切换，都是基于测量结果进行的。因此移动性测量是移动性管理的基础。
在NR中，测量的整体流程如下：
根据所涉及到的层次将测量划分为物理层测量(层1测量)和RRC层测量(层3测量)两部分。在物理层，终端设备在配置的测量资源上进行指定类型的测量，NR支持的所有测量类型在38.215中定义。
对于基于同步信号块(synchronization signal block，SSB)的测量而言，终端设备对多个具有相同的SSB索引(index)和物理小区标识(physical cell identifier，PCI)的SSB上得到的测量结果进行合并，得到该PCI对应的小区的该SSB index对应的SSB的波束(beam)级层1测量结果，并上报给层3。
对于基于信道状态信息参考信号(channel state information-reference signal，CSI-RS)的测量而言，终端设备对多个具有相同的CSI-RS资源标识(resource identifier)和PCI的CSI-RS资源上得到的测量结果进行合并，得到该PCI对应的小区的该CSI-RS资源标识对应的CSI-RS资源的beam层1测量结果，并上报给层3。
上述对于多个测量资源上的测量结果进行合并的过程就是所谓的层1滤波。具体的合并方式是终端设备的具体实现，标准中不作规定。但是，终端设备需要保证测量满足38.133中定义的时延、精度方面的一系列指标。
层3在接收到了层1上报的beam级测量结果后，终端设备需要对同一个小区的各个beam的层1测量结果进行选择/合并以推导出该小区级的层3测量结果。具体的选择/合并方式在38.331中定义。以及终端设备还需要对得到的小区级层3测量结果进行层3滤波。注意只有层3滤波后的测量结果才会用于验证上报触发条件是否满足，以及作为最终的测量结果进行上报。
此外，根据配置，终端设备也可能需要上报beam级的层3测量结果。此时，终端设备直接对各个beam的层1测量结果进行层3滤波，再在滤波后的测量结果中选择出要上报的测量结果进行上报。具体选择的方式在38.331中定义。
38.300要求终端设备至少应该在有新的小区级测量结果产生的时候对上报触发条件进行验证。当上报触发条件满足时，终端设备需要向网络设备发送测量报告。
四、最小化路测(minimization of drive-tests，MDT)
MDT技术的基本思想是运营商通过签约用户的商用终端设备进行测量上报来部分替代传统的路测工作，实现自动收集终端设备的测量数据，以检测和优化无线网络中的问题和故障。该技术的应用场景为：运营商一般每一个月都要做例行的网络覆盖路测，针对用户投诉也会做一些针对特定区域的进行呼叫质量路测，这些场景的路测都可以用MDT代替。
现有的MDT技术的测量类型可分为以下几种：
1、信号水平测量：由终端设备测量无线信号的信号水平，将测量结果上报给网络设备或网络设备控制器；
2、服务质量(quality of service，Qos)测量：通常由网络设备执行Qos测量(比如：业务的流量、业务的吞吐量，业务时延等)，也可以由终端设备执行测量，比如上行处理时延，也可以是网络设备和终端设备联合处理，比如空口时延测量(即测量数据包经过网络设备的业务数据适配协议栈(service data adaptation protocol，SDAP)/分组数据汇聚协议(packet data convergence protocol，PDCP)层到该数据包达到终端设备的SDAP/PDCP层的时间)。
3、可接入性测量：由终端设备记录RRC连接建立失败的信息，并上报给网络设备或网络设备控制器。
MDT包括记录MDT(logged MDT)和即时MDT(immediate MDT)。Immediate MDT主要针对处于RRC连接态的终端设备进行的测量，而logged MDT主要针对处于空闲态的终端设备或非激活态的终端设备进行的测量(比如：空闲态的终端设备或非激活态的终端设备对当前驻留的小区对应的频点的小区及当前驻留的小区中广播的小区重选对应的异频/异系统相邻小区进行测量)。Immediate MDT一般用于测量终端设备的数据量、网际互连协议(internet protocol，IP)吞吐率、包传输时延、丢包率、处理时延等。而logged MDT一般指终端设备对接收信号强度的测量。
此外，还定义了一些L2测量用于网络侧统计一些网络性能，以便进行无线链路管理、无线资源管理、网络维护等功能。其中，上述一些L2测量是针对一个终端设备进行统计的，比如业务的吞吐量、业务的流量、终端设备的处理时延、终端设备的空口时延等。
在两种场景下，网络设备会发起MDT测量收集任务。一种是发起基于信令的MDT(signalling based MDT)，一种是发起基于管理的MDT(management based MDT)。基于信令的MDT是指针对某特定终端设备的MDT，网络设备从核心网收到对某个终端设备进行MDT的消息。基于管理的MDT并不是针对特定终端设备的MDT，网络设备是从操作维护管理(operation administration and maintenance，OAM)接收到进行MDT的消息。网络设备基于一定策略从该网络设备下的终端设备中选择终端设备进行MDT测量。对于基于信令的MDT而言，除非终端设备已经同意进行MDT，否则核心网并不会发起针对该终端设备的信令MDT。对于基于管理的MDT而言，网络设备在选择终端设备时，可以考虑终端设备是否同意进行MDT，比如，只选择那些已经同意进行MDT的终端设备进行MDT测量(比如核心网会通知基站，某个终端设备是否同意进行MDT，比如核心网通知网络设备该用户的基于管理的MDT允许指示(management based MDT allowed indication)，可选地，也会通知基于管理MDT的公共陆地移动网络(public land mobile network，PLMN)列表)。这两种MDT都可以包括logged MDT和immediated MDT。对于基于信令的MDT而言，核心网会把一些MDT配置信息、跟踪采集实体(trace collection entity，TCE)IP地址通知给基站。其中MDT配置信息包括：MDT激活类型(比如：仅即时MDT(Immediate MDT only),仅记录MDT(Logged MDT only),即时MDT和跟踪(Immediate MDT and Trace)等)，MDT的区域范围，MDT的模式及对应模式的配置参数(比如immediate MDT的测量事件，logged MDT的记录间隔和持续时间等)，基于信令MDT的PLMN列表。
此外，对于logged MDT而言，当终端设备处于连接态时，网络设备会给终端设备配置logged MDT测量相关配置信息，比如通过RRC消息通知logged MDT相关配置。当终端设备进入到空闲态或非激活态时，终端设备会按照对应的配置记录对应的测量结果。当终端设备向网络设备发起RRC连接时，在RRC消息中携带一个指示信息，指示当前终端设备记录了logged MDT的测量结果。网络设备可以向终端设备发送请求logged MDT的测量结果，终端设备再向网络设备上报logged MDT的测量结果。比如在RRC建立完成(RRC setup complete)消息中携带该指示信息。之后，网络设备在终端设备的信息请求(UE information request)中向终端设备请求传输logged MDT的测量结果(该请求中携带一个请求指示信息，指示终端设备上传logged MDT的测量结果)。之后，终端设备在终端设备的信息响应(UE Information Response)中向网络侧上传MDT记录。具体如图3所示。此外，应理解的是，为终端设备进行logged MDT测量相关配置的网络设备可能和终端设备上报logged MDT的测量结果的网络设备并不是同一个网络设备。
对于一些流类业务或者语音业务而言，比如流媒体业务(streaming service)，IMS多媒体电话业务(Multimedia Telephony Service for IMS，MTSI),单纯的信号质量并不能体现用户在使用这些业务时的用户体验，运营商想知道用户的体验，从而更好的优化网络以提高用户的体验。这类测量收集称为体验质量(quality of experience，QoE)测量收集，也可称为应用层测量收集。这类测量也利用基于信令的MDT和基于管理的MDT进行发起。网络设备从核心网或OAM收到这些测量的配置信息(比如这些配置信息是以一种透明的容器的方式发给网络设备)，网络设备把这些配置通过RRC消息发送给终端设备。终端设备的RRC层从UE的上层接收到应用层的测量结果之后，把这些测量结果发送给网络设备(比如这些测量结果是以一种透明容器的封装形式给网络设备)。网络设备从核心网或OAM接收的信息除了以上的测量的配置信息之外，还可能包括QoE测量的其他信息(比 如QoE测量的区域范围，QoE测量的业务类型)，如36.413中的9.2.1.128章节描述。网络设备选择终端设备进行QoE测量的方法基本同普通的MDT测量。具体如图4所示，对于QoE测量，网络侧会为终端设备配置一个信令承载(比如信令承载(signalling radio bearer,SRB)4)来传输QoE测量结果。终端设备的测量上报可通过该信令承载来上报。同理，为终端设备配置QoE测量相关配置的网络设备可能和终端设备上报QoE测量结果的网络设备并不是同一个网络设备。
五、自组织网络(self-organization network，SON)。
SON是指不需要增加网络设备的网络，可以最大化的利用现有的设备，以实现减小运营。
对于设备的利用可以利用负载平衡、覆盖容量优化实现不增加新设备来完成覆盖优化，还可以利用移动性优化，随机接入优化等来达到利用现有设备提升性能。
对于成本的要求可以通过减少操作维护人员的数目和技能的要求来实现。例如，利用MDT技术来达到减少人工路侧的成本，利用节能(energy saving，ES)技术达到节能的效果等，以实现通过这些自动维护过程达到提高系统的性能的效果。
SON技术的终极目标是实现网络规划、优化的完全自动化，从而实现真正意义上的自组织网络。
目前，3GPP都定义了一些具体的案例(use case)来研究SON。具体的，3GPP长期演进(long term evolution，LTE)定义的use cases：自动邻区关系(automatic neighbour relation，ANR)、物理小区标识分配(physical cell identity selection，PCI selection)、移动鲁棒性优化(mobility robustness optimisation，MRO)、移动负载平衡(mobility load balancing，MLB)、ES、MDT、覆盖和能力优化(coverage and capacity optimization，CCO)等。具体可以参见TS 36.300 22.4小节。
R16的NR SON里也讨论了一些use case，包括MRO、PCI分配、MLB、ES，MDT、CCO等。除此之外，NR SON里还讨论了要引入一些新的功能，比如V2X SON等。具体可以参见TR 37.816。
六、PCI
终端设备可以通过小区测量过程中搜到的小区同步信号等方式得到小区的PCI。
PCI由主同步信号(primary synchronization signal，PSS)和辅同步信号(secondary synchronization signal，SSS)组成。终端设备在测量同步信号时，物理层会尝试用不同的PCI去解码，能正确解码的PCI就是该小区的PCI。终端设备根据不同的PCI来区分不同的无线信号。在LTE系统中共提供504个PCI，取值范围为0～503，在5G系统中共提供1008个PCI，取值范围为0～1007。
PCI是小区标识之一，是局部标识。不同的小区所用布网频点(frequency)不同，所以根据频点加上PCI可以区分不同的小区，即只要频点和PCI有一个不一样，终端设备就能区分这是两个不同的小区。运营商在布网的时候，应该避免在部署相邻小区使用频点和PCI都一样的情况。
如图5所示，本申请实施例中所涉及到的网络设备可以是RAN中的基站(如gNB)等。基站可以是集中式单元(centralized unit，CU)和分布式单元(distributed unit，DU)分离架构。RAN可以与核心网相连(例如可以是LTE的核心网，也可以是5G的核心网等)。CU和DU可以理解为是对基站从逻辑功能角度的划分。CU和DU在物理上可以是分离的 也可以部署在一起。多个DU可以共用一个CU。一个DU也可以连接多个CU(图中未示出)。CU和DU之间可以通过接口相连，例如可以是F1接口。CU和DU可以根据无线网络的协议层划分。例如其中一种可能的划分方式是：CU用于执行无线资源控制(radio resource control，RRC)层、业务数据适配协议(service data adaptation protocol，SDAP)层以及分组数据汇聚层协议(packet data convergence protocol，PDCP)层的功能，而DU用于执行无线链路控制(radio link control，RLC)层，媒体接入控制(media access control，MAC)层，物理(physical)层等的功能。可以理解对CU和DU处理功能按照这种协议层的划分仅仅是一种举例，也可以按照其他的方式进行划分。例如可以将CU或者DU划分为具有更多协议层的功能。例如，CU或DU还可以划分为具有协议层的部分处理功能。在一设计中，将RLC层的部分功能和RLC层以上的协议层的功能设置在CU，将RLC层的剩余功能和RLC层以下的协议层的功能设置在DU。在另一种设计中，还可以按照业务类型或者其他系统需求对CU或者DU的功能进行划分。例如按时延划分，将处理时间需要满足时延要求的功能设置在DU，不需要满足该时延要求的功能设置在CU。图5所示的网络架构可以应用于5G通信系统，其也可以与LTE系统共享一个或多个部件或资源。在另一种设计中，CU也可以具有核心网的一个或多个功能。一个或者多个CU可以集中设置，也分离设置。例如CU可以设置在网络侧方便集中管理。DU可以具有多个射频功能，也可以将射频功能拉远设置。
CU的功能可以由一个实体来实现也可以由不同的实体实现。例如，可以对CU的功能进行进一步切分，例如，将控制面(control panel，CP)和用户面(user panel，UP)分离，即CU的控制面(CU-CP)和CU用户面(CU-UP)。例如，CU-CP和CU-UP可以由不同的功能实体来实现，所述CU-CP和CU-UP可以与DU相耦合，共同完成基站的功能。
终端可以是无线终端也可以是有线终端，无线终端可以是指向用户提供语音和/或数据连通性的设备，具有无线连接功能的手持式设备、或连接到无线调制解调器的其他处理设备。无线终端可以经无线接入网(英文：Radio Access Network；缩写：RAN)与一个或多个核心网进行通信，无线终端可以是移动终端，如移动电话(或称为“蜂窝”电话)和具有移动终端的计算机，例如，可以是便携式、袖珍式、手持式、计算机内置的或者车载的移动装置，它们与无线接入网交换语言和/或数据。例如，个人通信业务(personal communication service，PCS)电话、无绳电话、会话发起协议(session initiation protocol，SIP)话机、无线本地环路(wireless local loop，WLL)站、个人数字助理(personal digital assistant，PDA)等设备。无线终端也可以称为系统、订户单元(subscriber unit，SU)、订户站(subscriber station，SS)，移动站(mobile station，MB)、移动台(mobile)、远程站(remote station，RS)、接入点(access point，AP)、远程终端(remote terminal，RT)、接入终端(access terminal，AT)、用户终端(user terminal，UT)、用户代理(user agent，UA)、终端设备(user device，UD)、或用户装备(user equipment，UE)。
本申请实施例可以应用于第四代移动通信系统(the fourth generation,4G)系统，5G系统，NTN系统，或者将来的移动通信系统。
TR38.821定义了5种基于NTN的无线接入网(radio access network，RAN)架构(NTN-based NG-RAN architectures)：如图6(a)所示，在第一种架构中，卫星主要是作为L1中继(relay)，卫星的作用是射频过滤、射频转换和放大等；如图6(b)和图6(c)所示，在第二种架构和第三种架构中，卫星可以作为网络设备，例如基站，其中第二种架 构与第三种架构的区别在于，第二种架构中不包括卫星间链路(inter-satellite link，ISL)，第三种架构中包括ISL。如图6(d)所示，在第四种架构中，卫星可以作为分布式单元(distributed unit，DU)。在第五种架构中，卫星可以作为接入回传一体化(integrated access and backhaul,IAB)节点。
作为一种可能的应用场景，LEO卫星或GEO卫星作为独立基站，与核心网相连。或者，LEO卫星或GEO卫星作为中继基站，与地面基站相连。又或者，LEO卫星作为DU，与地面CU相连。
此外，本申请实施例还可以适用于面向未来的其他通信技术。本申请描述的网络架构以及业务场景是为了更加清楚的说明本申请的技术方案，并不构成对本申请提供的技术方案的限定，本领域普通技术人员可知，随着网络架构的演变和新业务场景的出现，本申请提供的技术方案对于类似的技术问题，同样适用。
在本申请实施例中，信号仰角是指信号投射下来时与水平面的夹角，如图7所示。这里的信号可以是卫星发射的信号，也可以是地面基站发射的信号，或者其他通信系统中的设备发射的信号，示例性地，所述信号可以是同步信号块(synchronization signal block，SSB),或者信道状态信息参考信号(channel state information-reference signal，CSI-RS)，本申请实施例对此不作限定。示例性地，当卫星按照运行轨道运行时，每个时刻在某个固定位置用固定的天线指向角度发送信号的仰角是确定的，因此，信号仰角也可以用于帮助卫星来纠正某个时刻的天线指向角度是否正确。
如图8所示，本申请实施例提供一种通信方法，用于纠正小区覆盖区域出错的问题，该方法包括：
步骤801：第一网络设备向终端设备发送测量配置信息，测量配置信息指示终端设备测量第一小区。
针对步骤801，第一网络设备可以在系统广播(system information，SI)或专用信令中携带测量配置信息，示例性地，专用信令可以是RRC重配置消息，也可以是其他信令，本申请实施例对此不作限定。
在一些实施例中，第一小区可以为终端设备的服务小区或终端设备的服务小区的邻区，其中，第一小区可以为卫星小区。示例性地，终端设备的服务小区可以为卫星小区，或者终端设备的服务小区的邻区为卫星小区。
测量配置信息可以包括第一小区的标识。其中，这里的标识包括但不限于小区全球标识(cell global identifier，CGI),PCI，频点、网络设备标识，小区的卫星种类中的至少一种。示例性地，测量配置信息可以包括第一小区对应的CGI，或者，第一小区对应的频点和PCI，或者，第一小区对应的频点和PCI以及第一小区对应的卫星种类。
此外，测量配置信息还可以指示多个小区，即测量配置信息可以包括多个小区的标识，本申请实施例对此不作限定。示例性地，测量配置信息中可以携带测量对象，该测量对象可以包括至少一个小区的标识，例如，终端设备的服务小区的标识和/或终端设备的服务小区的邻区的标识。
测量配置信息还可以具体包括但不限于以下内容中的至少一种：
1、测量配置信息还指示终端设备上报第一小区的信号仰角，相应的，终端设备根据测量配置信息测量第一小区的信号仰角，且终端设备发送的测量结果中还包括终第一小区的信号仰角。示例性地，终端设备在测量到小区A时，进一步测量小区A的信号仰角。
2、测量配置信息还指示终端设备上报终端设备的位置信息，相应的，测量结果还包括终端设备的位置信息。
应理解的是，终端设备的位置信息可以是指终端设备的绝对位置信息，例如，终端设备的全球定位系统(global positioning system，GPS)信息。终端设备的位置信息还可以是终端设备的相对位置信息，例如，终端设备相对于某个参考点的位置信息。其中，相对位置信息可以包括方向和距离。例如，终端设备的相对位置信息可以是终端设备距离小区中心的相对方向和距离，其中，小区中心可以通过通信协议规定，也可以通过第一网络设备通知终端设备，例如，小区中心的位置信息可以通过系统广播或者专用信令发送。
3、测量配置信息还指示终端设备测量第一小区的时间，终端设备发送的测量结果可以包括终端设备测量第一小区的时间信息。
其中，测量配置信息可以指示终端设备测量第一小区的开始时刻，这里开始时刻可以是绝对值或相对值，本申请实施例对此不作限定。例如，测量配置信息指示终端设备测量第一小区的开始时刻，例如绝对时间，或者，测量配置信息指示终端设备接收到测量配置信息的N秒后开始测量第一小区，N为正整数。可以理解的，测量结果中的时间信息也可以是终端设备开始测量第一小区的开始时刻的绝对值或相对值。
示例性地，测量配置信息还可以指示终端设备周期性测量第一小区，或者测量第一小区的次数，例如，这里的次数可以为一次或多次。
4、测量配置信息还指示终端设备测量第一小区所采用的测量方式，其中，测量方式包括MDT或用于移动性的测量。示例性地，这里的MDT可以为logged MDT或immediate MDT。此外，本申请实施例提供方法还可以适用于自组网的测量。
此外，测量配置信息还指示终端设备测量第一小区的触发条件，相应的，终端设备确定满足触发条件则根据测量配置信息测量第一小区。
在一些实施例中，触发条件为终端设备在接收到来自于网络设备的测量配置信息后开始测量第一小区。示例性地，终端设备在接收到来自于网络设备的测量配置信息后立即测量上述第一小区。
在另一些实施例中，触发条件为终端设备在接收到来自于网络设备的测量配置信息后，在确定满足预设条件时开始测量第一小区。示例性地，测量配置信息还包括信号质量参数对应的预设值，终端设备在接收到来自于网络设备的测量配置信息后监控信号质量参数，在确定第一小区的信号质量参数低于预设值时开始测量第一小区。其中，信号质量参数可以为RSRP或RSRQ等，本申请实施例对此不作限定。
应理解的是，上述信号质量参数对应的预设值可以是第一网络设备配置的，也可以是通过通信协议规定的。当上述信号质量参数对应的预设值通过第一网络设备配置时，信号质量参数对应的预设值可以通过测量配置信息携带，也可以通过其他信令携带，本申请实施例对此不作限定。
应理解的是，上述测量配置信息包括的具体内容仅为举例，不作为本申请实施例的限定。
步骤802：终端设备向第二网络设备发送测量结果，测量结果指示终端设备测量到第一小区的信号或未测量到第一小区的信号。
其中，测量结果是终端设备根据测量配置信息对第一小区进行测量得到的。
应理解的是，终端设备未测量到第一小区的信号是指第一小区对应的信号质量参数低 于第一数值，示例性地，信号质量参数可以为参考信号接收功率(reference signal receiving power，RSRP)或参考信号接收质量(reference signal receiving quality，RSRQ)等。当终端设备测得第一小区的RSRP小于-110dBm时，则判断终端设备未测量到第一小区的信号。
针对步骤802，测量结果可以作为一个信息发送，也可以作为多个信息分别发送。例如，用于指示终端设备测量到第一小区的信号的信息作为一个信息发送，第一小区的信号仰角、终端设备的位置信息和终端设备测量第一小区的时间信息作为另一个信息发送。或者，用于指示终端设备测量到第一小区的信号的信息、第一小区的信号仰角、终端设备的位置信息、终端设备测量第一小区的时间信息作为一个信息发送。
在一示例中，终端设备可以主动向第二网络设备发送测量结果。示例性地，当终端设备处于连接态时，终端设备可以在完成针对第一小区的测量后，向第二网络设备发送测量结果。
在另一示例中，终端设备向第二网络设备发送通知信息，该通知消息用于通知第二网络设备：所述终端设备保存有测量结果，又或者，该通知消息用于询问第二网络设备是否需要终端设备上报测量结果。第二网络设备在接收到来自于终端设备的通知信息后，第二网络设备向终端设备发送请求消息，该请求消息用于请求终端设备向第二网络设备发送测量结果。示例性地，若终端设备被配置执行logged MDT，当终端设备进入到空闲态或非激活态时，终端设备会根据测量配置信息记录logged MDT的测量结果。当终端设备向第二网络设备发起RRC连接时，在RRC消息中携带一个指示信息，该指示信息指示终端设备记录了logged MDT的测量结果。网络设备可以向终端设备发送请求消息，该请求消息用于请求logged MDT的测量结果。终端设备向网络设备上报logged MDT的测量结果。
应理解的是，第一网络设备和第二网络设备可以为相同的网络设备或不同的网络设备。示例性地，由于信号偏移或者卫星飞走了，终端设备可能无法向发送测量配置的网络设备发送测量结果，此时，终端设备可以向当前新接入的网络设备发送测量结果。
当第一网络设备与第二网络设备可以相同，且第二网络设备覆盖第一小区，或第二网络设备用于转发第一小区的信号时，则第二网络设备根据测量结果判断是否需要调整第一小区对应的天线指向角度或第二网络设备的飞行轨迹。
示例性地，若测量结果指示终端设备测量到第一小区，而基于终端设备测量第一小区的时间信息和终端设备的位置信息，当第一小区的天线指向角度正确、且第二网络设备飞行轨迹正确时，终端设备是无法测量到的第一小区的，此时，第二网络设备确定第一小区对应的天线指向角度和/或第二网络设备的飞行轨迹需要纠正。
示例性地，若测量结果指示终端设备未测量第一小区，即第一小区对应的信号质量参数低于第一数值，而基于终端设备测量第一小区的时间信息和终端设备的位置信息，当第一小区的天线指向角度正确和第二网络设备飞行轨迹正确时，终端设备是可以测量到的第一小区的，此时，第二网络设备确定第一小区对应的天线指向角度和/或第二网络设备的飞行轨迹需要纠正。
进一步地，第二网络设备可以根据第一小区的信号仰角确定是否需要调整第一小区对应的天线指向角度。若确定当前天线指向角度不正确，第二网络设备可以根据第一小区的信号仰角确定天线指向角度的调整幅度等参数。若确定天线指向角度正确，则排除天线指向角度问题，进一步排查是否是第二网络设备的飞行轨迹出现问题。示例性地，第二网络设备可以调整第二网络设备对应卫星的速度，例如提升卫星速度或降低卫星速度，或者， 第二网络设还可以调整第二网络设备对应的卫星的轨道偏向角等参数，本申请实施例对此不作限定。
步骤803：第二网络设备向第三网络设备发送第一信息，第一信息与测量结果关联。
其中，第三网络设备可以覆盖第一小区，或第三网络设备可以用于转发第一小区的信号。
第三网络设备覆盖第一小区可以理解为第三网络设备包含第一小区或者第一小区属于第三网络设备的一个小区。
第一信息可以包括测量结果、用于指示第一小区对应的天线指向角度的信息、用于指示第三网络设备的飞行轨迹的信息中的至少一种。
示例性地，用于指示第一小区对应的天线指向角度的信息可以包括第一小区对应的正确天线指向角度，此时，第一小区对应的正确天线指向角度可以为绝对角度。或者，用于指示第一小区对应的天线指向角度的信息可以包括第一小区对应的当前天线指向角度相对于第一小区对应的正确天线指向角度的偏离角度，此时，该偏离角度为相对角度。第三网络设备可以根据用于指示第一小区对应的天线指向角度的信息调整第一小区对应的调整天线指向角度。在第三网络设备完成第一小区对应的调整天线指向角度时，第三网络设备可以向第二网络设备发送响应消息，该响应消息指示第三设备已调整第一小区对应的天线指向角度。
示例性地，第三网络设备可以根据测量结果或用于指示第三网络设备的飞行轨迹的信息调整第三网络设备对应的飞行轨迹。例如，第三网络设备可以调整第三网络设备对应卫星的速度，例如提升卫星速度或降低卫星速度，或者，调整第三网络设备对应的卫星的轨道偏向角等参数。在第三网络设备完成调整第三网络设备对应的飞行轨迹时，第三网络设备可以向第二网络设备发送响应消息，该响应消息指示第三设备已调整飞行轨迹。
此外，由于多个小区的PCI可能相同，则第二网络设备可能向具有相同PCI的多个小区分别所属的网络设备发送第一信息。当接收到的网络设备确定第一信息与自身无关时，该网络设备可以向第二网络设备发送响应信息，响应信息用于通知第二网络设备当前网络设备无需调整天线指向角度或飞行轨迹。
在一些实施例中，当第一网络设备与第二网络设备不同时，第二网络设备还可以将测量结果发送至核心网，由核心网转发至其他网络设备，即由核心网将测量结果转发至测量结果指示的第一小区所属的网络设备或用于转发第一小区的信号的网络设备。
在步骤801之前，终端设备可以向网络设备发送终端设备的能力信息，终端设备的能力信息包括终端设备支持测量的小区，终端设备支持测量的测量频段，终端设备支持测量的测量频段对应的信号仰角测量误差中的至少一种。
示例性地，终端设备的能力也可以分为多个级别，如1级，2级，3级……各级分别代表终端设备支持测量的测量频段对应的信号仰角测量误差或精确度，其中，分级的标准可以在协议中规定，也可以由第一网络设备发送给终端设备。

示例性地，终端设备的能力可以是针对不同频段的，例如，针对测量不同的频段终端设备的能力不同。这里的频带可以为FR1，FR2等。
示例性地，终端设备的能力可以是针对不同频带组合的，例如，支持频段1和频段2， 或者支持频段1和频段2，或者支持频段2和频段3，或者支持频段1和频段2以及频段3，其中，每个频段组合可以对应一个标识，终端设备可以向第一网络设备上报自身支持的频带组合对应的标识。
采用上述设计，终端设备可以将自身的能力信息上报至第一网络设备，第一网络设备可以基于终端设备的能力信息为终端设备配置测量配置信息，例如，根据终端设备的能力信息为终端设备配置测量的小区。
通过终端设备上报测量结果，第二网络设备可以将第一信息转发至第三网络设备，第三网络设备包括第一小区或转发第一小区的信号，进而实现调整第一小区对应的天线指向角度或调整第三网络设备对应的飞行轨迹。因此上述方法可以作为一种有效的纠正小区覆盖区域出错问题的手段，且该方法成本较低，还可以适用于覆盖卫星自我纠正机制失灵的场景。
如图9所示，本申请实施例还提供一种通信方法，用于纠正小区覆盖区域出错的问题，该方法包括：
步骤901：第一网络设备向终端设备发送测量配置信息，测量配置信息指示终端设备上报测量第一小区的信号对应的信号仰角和终端设备的位置信息。
针对步骤901，第一网络设备可以在SI或专用信令中携带测量配置信息，示例性地，专用信令可以是RRC重配置消息，也可以是其他信令，本申请实施例对此不作限定。
在一些实施例中，第一网络设备可以指示终端设备测量第一小区。其中，第一小区可以为终端设备的服务小区或终端设备的服务小区的邻区，第一小区可以为卫星小区。示例性地，终端设备的服务小区可以为卫星小区，或者终端设备的服务小区的邻区为卫星小区。
测量配置信息可以包括上述第一小区的标识。其中，这里的标识包括但不限于CGI,PCI，频点、网络设备标识，小区的卫星种类中的至少一种。示例性地，测量配置信息可以包括第一小区对应的CGI，或者，第一小区对应的频点和PCI，或者，第一小区对应的频点和PCI以及第一小区对应的卫星种类。
此外，测量配置信息还可以指示多个小区，即测量配置信息可以包括多个小区的标识，本申请实施例对此不作限定。示例性地，测量配置信息中可以携带测量对象，该测量对象可以包括至少一个小区的标识，例如，终端设备的服务小区的标识和/或终端设备的服务小区的邻区的标识。
应理解的是，终端设备的位置信息可以是指终端设备的绝对位置信息，例如，终端设备的GPS信息。终端设备的位置信息还可以是终端设备的相对位置信息，例如，终端设备相对于某个参考点的位置信息。其中，相对位置信息可以包括方向和距离。例如，终端设备的相对位置信息可以是终端设备距离小区中心的相对方向和距离，该小区中心可以通过通信协议规定，也可以通过第一网络设备通知终端设备，例如，小区中心的位置信息可以通过系统广播或者专用信令发送。
此外，测量配置信息还可以具体包括但不限于以下内容中的至少一种：
测量配置信息还指示终端设备测量第一小区的时间，终端设备发送的测量结果可以包括终端设备测量第一小区的时间信息。
其中，测量配置信息可以指示终端设备测量第一小区的开始时刻，这里开始时刻可以是绝对值或相对值，本申请实施例对此不作限定。例如，测量配置信息指示终端设备测量第一小区的开始时刻，例如绝对时间，或者，测量配置信息指示终端设备接收到测量配置 信息的N秒后开始测量第一小区，N为正整数。可以理解的，测量结果中的时间信息也可以是终端设备开始测量第一小区的开始时刻的绝对值或相对值。
示例性地，测量配置信息还可以指示终端设备周期性测量第一小区，或者测量第一小区的次数，例如，这里的次数可以为一次或多次。
测量配置信息还指示终端设备测量第一小区所采用的测量方式，其中，测量方式包括MDT或用于移动性的测量。示例性地，这里的MDT可以为logged MDT或immediate MDT。此外，本申请实施例提供方法还可以适用于自组网的测量。
此外，测量配置信息还指示终端设备测量第一小区的触发条件，相应的，终端设备确定满足触发条件则根据测量配置信息测量第一小区。
在一些实施例中，触发条件为终端设备在接收到来自于网络设备的测量配置信息后开始测量第一小区。示例性地，终端设备在接收到来自于网络设备的测量配置信息后立即测量上述第一小区。
在另一些实施例中，触发条件为终端设备在接收到来自于网络设备的测量配置信息后，在确定满足预设条件时开始测量第一小区。示例性地，测量配置信息还包括信号质量参数对应的预设值，终端设备在接收到来自于网络设备的测量配置信息后监控信号质量参数，在确定第一小区的信号质量参数低于预设值时开始测量第一小区。其中，信号质量参数可以为RSRP或RSRQ等，本申请实施例对此不作限定。
应理解的是，上述信号质量参数对应的预设值可以是第一网络设备配置的，也可以是通过通信协议规定的。当上述信号质量参数对应的预设值通过第一网络设备配置时，信号质量参数对应的预设值可以通过测量配置信息携带，也可以通过其他信令携带，本申请实施例对此不作限定。
应理解的是，上述测量配置信息包括的具体内容仅为举例，不作为本申请实施例的限定。
步骤902：终端设备向第二网络设备发送测量结果，测量结果包括第一小区的信号仰角和终端设备的位置信息。
其中，测量结果是终端设备根据测量配置信息对第一小区进行测量得到的。
针对步骤902，测量结果可以作为一个信息发送，也可以作为多个信息分别发送。例如，第一小区的信号仰角作为一个信息发送，终端设备的位置信息和终端设备测量第一小区的时间信息作为另一个信息发送。或者，用于指示终端设备测量到第一小区的信号的信息、第一小区的信号仰角、终端设备的位置信息、终端设备测量第一小区的时间信息作为一个信息发送。
在一示例中，终端设备可以主动向第二网络设备发送测量结果。示例性地，当终端设备处于连接态时，终端设备可以在完成针对第一小区的测量后，立即向第二网络设备发送测量结果。
在另一示例中，终端设备向第二网络设备发送通知信息，该通知消息用于通知第二网络设备：所述终端设备保存有测量结果，又或者，该通知消息用于询问第二网络设备是否需要终端设备上报测量结果。第二网络设备在接收到来自于终端设备的通知信息后，第二网络设备向终端设备发送请求消息，该请求消息用于请求终端设备向第二网络设备发送测量结果。示例性地，若终端设备被配置执行logged MDT，当终端设备进入到空闲态或非激活态时，终端设备会根据测量配置信息记录logged MDT的测量结果。当终端设备向第二 网络设备发起RRC连接时，在RRC消息中携带一个指示信息，该指示信息指示终端设备记录了logged MDT的测量结果。网络设备可以向终端设备发送请求消息，该请求消息用于请求logged MDT的测量结果。终端设备向网络设备上报logged MDT的测量结果。
应理解的是，第一网络设备和第二网络设备可以为相同的网络设备或不同的网络设备。示例性地，由于信号偏移或者卫星飞走了，终端设备可能无法向发送测量配置的网络设备发送测量结果，此时，终端设备可以向当前新接入的网络设备发送测量结果。
当第一网络设备与第二网络设备开业相同，且第二网络设备覆盖第一小区，或第二网络设备用于转发第一小区的信号时，则第二网络设备根据测量结果判断是否需要调整第一小区对应的天线指向角度或第二网络设备的飞行轨迹。
第二网络设备可以根据第一小区的信号仰角确定是否需要调整第一小区对应的天线指向角度。若确定当前天线指向角度不正确，第二网络设备可以根据第一小区的信号仰角确定天线指向角度的调整幅度等参数。若确定天线指向角度正确，则排除天线指向角度问题，进一步排查是否是第二网络设备的飞行轨迹出现问题。示例性地，第二网络设备可以调整第二网络设备对应卫星的速度，例如提升卫星速度或降低卫星速度，或者，第二网络设还可以调整第二网络设备对应的卫星的轨道偏向角等参数，本申请实施例对此不作限定。
