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05月27日提交中国专利局、申请号为202010462497.4、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
随着多输入多输出(multiple input multiple output，MIMO)技术的进一步演技，多传输接收节点(multiple transmission and reception point，Multi-TRP)、多面板(multiple panel，Multi-panel)、多波束(multiple beam，Multi-beam)等技术在新空口(new radio，NR)的Uu空口中被提出。
在使用以上MIMO技术时，接收端需要有能力区分不同的TRP、面板或波束发送的信号。因此，NR中使用了两个重要概念，一个是准共址(quasi co-located，QCL)，另一个是传输配置指示(transmission configuration indication，TCI)。NR中使用TCI来指示两个参考信号(reference signal，RS)的QCL关系。
在NR系统中，除了Uu空口之外，还存在PC5接口，所述PC5接口为终端装置与终端装置间的通信接口。PC5接口中的传输链路被定义为侧行链路(sidelink，SL)。然而，目前尚缺少SL TCI标识的指示方法，这阻碍了多面板和多波束等MIMO技术在PC5接口中的使用。
发明内容

波束一般和资源对应，例如，进行波束测量时，发送端可通过不同的资源来测量不同的波束，接收端可反馈测得的资源质量，发送端就可以确定对应波束的质量。在本申请实施例中，若未特别说明，波束是指发送端的发送波束。在波束测量中，每一个波束对应一个资源，因此可以以资源的索引来唯一标识该资源对应的波束。

此外，本申请实施例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实施例的技术方案，并不构成对于本申请实施例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，本申请实施例提供的技术方案对于类似的技术问题，同样适用。
在过去的几十年中，无线通信系统经历了从第一代模拟通信至第五代新无线电(new radio，NR)的技术演变。随着演变的进行，无线通信系统所使用的资源逐渐从时域和频域两个维度，发展到时域、频域和空域三个维度。空域资源的使用源自于多输入多输出(multiple input multiple output，MIMO)系统的发展。在MIMO系统中，发送端可以使用多个天线发送数据，接收端也可以使用多个天线接收数据，从而实现发送端和接收端之间多个空间数据流的并行传输，一方面提升通信速度，另一方面提高通信可靠性。随着MIMO技术的进一步演进，多传输接收节点(multiple transmission and reception point，Multi-TRP)、多面板(multiple panel，Multi-panel)、多波束(multiple beam，Multi-beam)等技术在NR的Uu空口中被提出，并被认为是重要的技术发展方向。
Multi-TRP技术的基本架构如图1所示，多个传输接收节点(transmission and reception point，TRP)可以同时向一个终端装置(例如，UE)传输数据，从而提高通信的速率和可 靠性。一种可能的TRP实现是5G基站。
多面板技术使得终端装置侧和网络装置侧可以存在多个面板(panel)，每个面板上安装一个或多个天线。在网络装置侧，使用多个面板可以避免部署大规模MIMO系统时的开销和功耗问题。在终端设备侧，由于面板一般具有方向性，使用多个面板可以覆盖更多空间方向，从而提高通信的可靠性。如图2所示，左侧为四个面板的俯视图，右侧为单个面板的平视图。参见图2右侧所示，单个面板上可以安装四根双极化天线，每两根双极化天线间的水平距离为0.5λ，λ代表信号的波长。当终端装置使用四个面板时，可以向不同方向发送数据，也可以接收来自不同方向的数据。
多波束技术一般应用于20GHz以上的高频段，通过波束赋形(beamforming)技术使得网络装置和终端装置等可以形成一个或多个空间方向上的波束(beam)，通过方向上的发送和接收提高通信的速率和可靠性。如图3所示，网络装置可以使用不同方向的发送波束向终端装置传输数据，终端装置也可以使用不同方向的接收波束接收数据。
在使用以上MIMO技术时，接收端需要有能力区分不同的TRP、面板或波束发送的信号。因此，NR中使用了两个重要概念，一个是准共址(quasi co-located，QCL)，另一个是传输配置指示(transmission configuration indication，TCI)。
在给出QCL的定义之前，需要首先解释天线端口(antenna port)。天线端口是第三代合作伙伴计划(3rd generation partnership project，3GPP)中广泛使用的逻辑概念，其定义如下：某一天线端口上的信号所经历的信道特性可以从同一天线端口传输的另一信号所经历的信道特性推导出。需要说明的是，天线端口与实际使用的物理天线不同，多个物理天线可以对应于同一个天线端口，一个物理天线也可以对应于多个天线端口。
在天线端口的基础上，QCL的定义如下：某一天线端口上的信号所经历的信道特性可以从另一天线端口上的信号所经历的信道特性推导出，则认为两个天线端口是QCL的。与此同时，在该两个天线端口上传输的参考信号(reference signal，RS)也是具有QCL关系的。例如，天线端口1与天线端口2是QCL的，天线端口1用于传输第一RS，天线端口2用于传输第二RS，那么可以认为第一RS与第二RS也是具有QCL关系的。
NR中使用TCI来指示两个RS的QCL关系。假设，两个RS分别为第一RS和第二RS，网络装置可通过无线资源控制(radio resource control，RRC)信令为第一RS配置TCI状态(TCI-state)。如图4所示，终端装置可通过TCI状态，确定第一RS以某一QCL类型有QCL关系的第二RS。之后，终端装置可通过第二RS的信道特性，推导第一RS的信道特性，从而实现更好的接收第一RS。可选的，第二RS可为信道状态信息参考信号(channel state information reference signal，CSI-RS)或者同步信号块(synchronization signal block，SSB)等。
在NR系统中，除了Uu空口之外，还存在PC5接口，所述PC5接口为终端装置与终端装置之间的通信接口。PC5接口中的传输链路为侧行链路。然而，目前在标准中尚缺少SL TCI标识的配置和指示方法，这阻碍了多面板和多波束等MIMO技术在PC5接口中的使用。
在以下描述中，以网络装置为gNB，终端装置为UE为例，详细描述在Uu空口中TCI的配置与指示方法，以及将Uu空口中的TCI配置与指示方法，直接应用到PC5接口中存在的问题。
在Uu空口中，gNB可通过RRC信令为UE配置多个TCI状态，然后通过媒体访问控 制(media access control，MAC)控制单元(control element，CE)或下行链路控制信息(downlink control information，DCI)指示某一RS的TCI状态。
在Uu空口中，通过RRC信令所配置的TCI状态的信元(information element，IE)，可包括以下的至少一个信元：
1、TCI状态标识(tci-StateId)：给出TCI状态的标识(identification，ID)；
2、类型1的qcl(qcl-Type1)：给出一个QCL关系及对应的RS，qcl-Type1继续指向QCL-Info信元，由该QCL-Info信元给出该QCL类型的具体参数。
3、类型2的qcl(qcl-Type2)：给出另一个QCL关系及对应的RS，qcl-Type2继续指向QCL-Info信元，由该QCL-Info信元给出该QCL类型的具体参数。
关于QCL-Info信元进一步包括以下两个必选信元，解释如下：
1、参考信号(referenceSignal)：给出QCL关系对应的RS，可以为具有某一ID的CSI-RS资源，或者为具有某一编号(index)的SSB；需要说明的是，CSI-RS可表现为CSI-RS资源，一个CSI-RS资源对应一种CSI-RS的配置，CSI-RS的配置参数可包括资源ID、资源映射等参数，资源映射参数可进一步包括端口数、频域位置、时域位置等。
2、qcl类型(qcl-Type)：给出QCL关系对应的QCL类型，可能为{typeA,typeB,typeC,typeD}中的任一个。
其中，单个QCL类型对应于一个或多个信道特性的组合，可能的信道特性包括多普勒频移、多普勒拓展、平均时延、时延拓展和空间接收参数等。各个QCL类型对应的信道特性组合简述如下：typeA：{多普勒频移，多普勒拓展，平均时延，时延拓展}；typeB：{多普勒频移，多普勒拓展}；typeC：{多普勒频移，平均时延}；typeD：{空间接收参数}。
当两个天线端口以某一QCL类型具有QCL关系时，两个天线端口上的信号所经历的信道特性被认为在与该QCL类型对应的信道特性上是相同的。以typeD为例，该QCL类型仅对应空间接收参数，因此当两个天线端口以typeD具有QCL关系时，两个天线端口上的信号所经历的信道被认为具有相同的空间接收参数。
通过上述可以看出，在Uu空口中，考虑了多达4种QCL类型，这是为了在gNB间切换、multi-TRP等多个发送设备的场景下，UE可以确定多个发送端RS的QCL类型。然而对于车到一切V2X通信和设备至设备D2D通信等SL场景，多个发送端UE的场景可以简单分解为多个仅包含单个发送端UE和单个接收端UE的单播(unicast)链路。每个单播链路通过发送端UE和接收端UE的ID进行区分。所以，SL场景中只需要关注单播链路中各个RS之间的QCL关系即可。为此，在PC5接口中需要简化TCI定义，以降低TCI状态的配置和指示的信令开销。
基于上述，本申请实施例重新定义了SL TCI标识，将SL TCI标识定义为SL上某一天线端口上的信号所经历的信道特性的标识(ID)。UE可以认为具有相同SL TCI标识的信号所经历的信道特性是相同的。可选的，该信道特性可指空间接收参数，或者说，SL TCI标识仅考虑Uu空口中的类型D(type D)这一QCL类型。比如，若PSSCH解调参考信号(demodulation reference signal，DMRS)的SL TCI标识为0，侧行信道状态信息参考信号(sidelink channel state information reference signal，SL CSI-RS)的SL TCI标识同样为0，则UE可认为PSSCH DMRS和SL CSI-RS所经历的空间接收参数相同。空间接收参数相同可认为PSSCH DMRS与SL CSI-RS是通过同一个面板或波束发送的。需要说明的是，SL TCI标识这一名称也可以替换为QCL标识(QCL ID)或者QCL编号(QCL index)等， 不作限定。
在本申请实施例中，通过简化SL TCI标识的定义，相比于Uu空口减少了TCI的配置和指示所需要的信令开销，解决了Uu空口中QCL类型过多导致的配置和指示方法过于复杂的技术问题。
可选的，本申请实施例中的任一个SL TCI标识的取值范围可为
Figure PCTCN2021092746-appb-000019
中的一个整数值，其中
Figure PCTCN2021092746-appb-000020
为大于或等于1的正整数，用于表示SL TCI标识的最大数目。可选的，
Figure PCTCN2021092746-appb-000021
可为{8,16,32,64,128}中的一个。需要说明的是，Uu空口中的TCI表现为TCI状态，该TCI状态中给出了TCI状态的标识以及QCL关系对应的RS和QCL类型。在本申请实施例中，PC5接口中的TCI表现为TCI标识，不给出QCL关系，如此简化设计并节省信令开销。
除此之外，在Uu空口中用于实现RS的TCI状态的配置和指示的信令包括RRC、MAC CE以及DCI等信令。这对于SL场景中TCI的配置和指示是过于复杂的。另外，PC5接口中没有RRC信令，仅有PC5-RRC信令，且SL中的PC5-RRC信令中不存在类似于Uu空口中配置TCI状态的相似信元。PC5接口中的MAC CE也没有Uu空口中，激活多个TCI状态的相似MAC CE。因此，在PC5接口中，无法通过Uu空口的方法实现TCI的配置和指示。
基于上述，本申请实施例提供一种通信方法及装置，可解决当前SL缺少SL TCI标识的配置和指示的技术问题。关于SL TCI标识的指示包括两种方案：第一种方案为显式指示，第一终端装置可向第二终端装置发送第一指示信息，第一指示信息用于指示第一参考信号的SL TCI标识。第二终端装置根据上述第一指示信息，即可确定第一参考信号的SL TCI标识。第二种方案为隐式指示，第一终端装置可根据第一信号的SL TCI标识，生成第一信号，且向第二终端装置发送第一信号。之后，第二终端装置可根据第一信号，确定第一信号的SL TCI标识。关于SL TCI标识的配置包括两种方案：第一种方案为，第一终端装置根据面板、发送波束或天线的数量，确定多个SL TCI标识；之后，第一终端装置可向第二终端装置发送上述多个SL TCI标识的配置信息。第二种方案为，预先在资源池中配置多个SL TCI标识，第一终端装置和第二终端装置各自根据对应资源池的配置信息，确定多个SL TCI标识。
本申请实施例提供的通信方法及装置可应用于网络架构中。如图5所示，提供一种网络架构，包括第一终端装置501和第二终端装置502。第一终端装置501和第二终端装置502之间可通过侧行链路进行侧行链路通信，传输侧行链路信息。所传输的侧行链路信息可包括数据(data)和调度分配(scheduling assigment，SA)等。可选的，侧行链路信息中还可包括信道状态信息(channel state information，CSI)和混合自动重传请求(hybrid automatic repeat request，HARQ)信息等，HARQ信息中可具体为确认信息(acknowledgement，ACK)或否定性确认(negtive acknowledgement，NACK)等。
可选的，在图5所示的网络架构中，还可包括网络装置503，网络装置503可以为接入网设备。终端装置501和/或终端装置502，与网络装置503之间可通过Uu空口进行通信。所述Uu空口的通信包括上行传输和下行传输。上行传输指终端装置501和/或终端设备502，向网络装置503发送上行信号或上行信息。下行传输指网络装置503向终端装置501和/或终端装置502发送下行信号或下行信息。
本申请实施例提供的通信方法及装置可应用于SL场景中，所述SL场景可包括车到一 切(vehicle to everything，V2X)或设备到设备(device-to-devic，D2D)等场景。如图6所示，以车到车通信(vehicle to vehicle，V2V)场景为例，发送端UE和接收端UE，可以分别描述为第一终端装置和第二终端装置，图6中的发送端UE和接收端UE均以车辆UE为例。实际应用场景中的发送端UE和接收端UE可以是任意形态的终端设备。上述场景中还包括发送波束，发送波束是指发送端UE通过多面板或多波束等技术使发送信号形成的具有方向性的辐射模式，在图6中以水滴形表示。
如图7所示，提供一种通信方法，该通信方法可对应于上述第一种显式指示方案，该方法的执行主体为第一终端装置和第二终端装置。可以理解的是，第一终端装置和第二终端装置可以是终端设备，或者，位于终端设备中的部件(例如，芯片、电路或其它等)。该流程包括：
S701：第一终端装置向第二终端装置发送第一指示信息。相对应的，第二终端设备接收来自第一终端设备的第一指示信息。
S702：第一终端装置在第一信道向第二终端装置发送第一RS。相对应的，第二终端装置在第一信道上接收来自第一终端设备的第一RS。其中，所述第一指示信息用于指示第一RS的第一SL TCI标识，所述第一SL TCI标识用于指示传输所述第一RS的第一信道的信道特性，或者，所述第一SL TCI标识用于指示所述第一RS所经历的信道特性。可以理解的是，由于第一终端装置采用不同的面板、发送波束或天线发送第一RS，第一RS所经历的信道特性并不相同。因此，利用所述SL TCI标识可标识不同的面板、发送波束或天线等。在一种可能的实现方式中，第二终端设备在接收到第一指示信息之后，可根据第一指示信息，确定第一RS的SL TCI标识。进一步，第二终端设备可根据所述第一RS的SL TCI标识，可确定第一终端设备发送所述第一RS的面板、发送波束或天线等。需要说明的是，第一终端装置可同时执行上述S701和上述S702，即第一终端装置可同时向第二终端装置发送第一指示信息和第一RS。或者，第一终端装置可按先后顺序发送第一指示信息和第一RS。比如，第一终端装置可先发送第一指示信息，再发送第一RS，或者，先发送第一RS，再发送第一指示信息等，不作限定。
可选的，第一参考信号可包括PSSCH DMRS，或者，物理侧行控制信道(physical sidelink control channel，PSCCH)DMRS，或者，SL CSI-RS，上述S701中的第一指示信息可携带于第二级SCI(2 nd stage SCI)中。
应理解，侧行链路中的SCI可以包括第一级SCI(1 st stage SCI)和第二级SCI。其中，第一级SCI承载于PSCCH中，主要作用是调度对应的PSSCH以及第二级SCI；第二级SCI承载于PSSCH中，主要作用是解调、译码对应PSSCH和/或控制HARQ和CSI流程。
针对PSSCH DMRS，和/或PSCCH DMRS的SL TCI标识的指示方法，在一种可能的实现方式中，第一终端装置可向第二终端装置发送第一指示信息，所述第一指示信息可用于指示PSSCH DMRS和/或PSCCH DMRS的SL TCI标识，所述第一指示信息可承载在第二级SCI的M比特中，M为正整数。第二终端装置可根据第一指示信息，确定PSSCH DMRS和/或PSCCH DMRS的SL TCI标识。可选的，所述M可为标准定义的正整数。例如，M可为{1,2,3,4,5,6}中的一个。或者，所述M可为根据配置的SL TCI标识的数目N SL-TCI得到的正整数。例如M可满足：
Figure PCTCN2021092746-appb-000022
针对SL CSI-RS的SL TCI标识的指示方法，在一种可能的实现方式中，第一终端装置可配置一个SL CSI-RS图样(pattern)，第一终端装置可向第二终端装置发送第一指示信息， 所述第一指示信息用于指示SL CSI-RS的SL TCI标识。所述第一指示信息可承载在第二级SCI的M比特中，M为正整数。接收端UE可根据所述第一指示信息，确定SL CSI-RS的SL TCI标识。同样的，所述M可为标准定义的正整数。例如，M可为{1,2,3,4,5,6}中的一个。或者，所述M可为根据配置的SL TCI标识的数目N SL-TCI得到的正整数。例如，所述M满足：
Figure PCTCN2021092746-appb-000023
可选的，可仅当第一终端装置通过第二级SCI触发信道测量时，第一终端装置才在第二级SCI中携带上述SL TCI标识的指示信息，否则在第二级SCI中不再携带上述SL TCI标识的指示信息。
在本申请实施例中，通过上述提供的SL TCI标识的指示方法，可弥补当前SL中缺少SL TCI标识指示方法的缺陷。进一步，基于上述提供的简化的SL TCI标识的定义，相对于Uu空口，可减少TCI指示的信令开销，解决了Uu空口中由于QCL类型过多导致的TCI指示方法，过于复杂的技术问题。
如图8所示，提供一种通信方法，该通信方法可对应于上述第二种隐式指示方案，该方法的执行主体为第一终端装置和第二终端装置。可以理解的是，第一终端装置和第二终端装置可以是终端设备，或者，位于终端设备中的部件(例如，芯片、电路或其它等)。该流程包括：

S804：第二终端装置根据第一信号，确定第一SL TCI标识。可选的，由于利用不同面板、波束或天线发送第一信号，第一信号所经历的信道特性并不相同。因此，利用SL TCI标识可标识不同的面板、波束或天线。在一种可能的实现方式中，第二终端设备在确定第一信号的SL TCI标识之后，可进一步根据第一信号的SL TCI标识，确定发送所述第一信号的面板、波束或天线等。
在一种可能的实现方式中，第一信号可为侧行同步信号块(sidelink synchronization signal block，S-SSB)，S-SSB中包括物理侧行广播信道(physical sidelink broadcast channel，PSBCH)DMRS。所述PSBCH DMRS的序列的初始化(initialization)参数是根据第一SL TCI标识所生成的。上述S802的一种具体实现方式可为：第一终端装置根据第一SL TCI标识生成PSBCH DMRS的序列的初始化参数；第一终端装置根据PSBCH DMRS的序列的初始化参数，生成PSBCH DMRS序列。上述S804的一种具体实现方式可为：第二终端装置根据所接收的PSBCH DMRS，确定PSBCH DMRS序列的初始化参数；第二终端装置根据PSBCH DMRS序列的初始化参数，确定第一SL TCI标识。

在另一种可能的实现方式中，第一信号可为S-SSB，所述S-SSB中同样可包括PSBCH，所述PSBCH的加扰序列的初始化参数是根据第一SL TCI标识所确定的。上述S802的一种具体实现可为：第一终端装置根据PSBCH中的编码比特(encoded bits)的加扰(scrambling)序列的初始化参数，确定加扰序列；且利用所述加扰序列对PSBCH进行加扰。上述S804的一种具体实现可为：第二终端装置对PSBCH进行解扰，确定PSBCH的编码比特的加扰序列；第二终端装置根据所述PSBCH的编码比特的加扰序列，确定PSBCH中的加扰序列的初始化参数；进一步，根据该加扰序列的初始化参数，确定第一SL TCI标识。

在本申请实施例中，通过上述SL TCI标识的指示方法，不但弥补了SL中缺少SL TCI标识的技术欠缺，相对于Uu空口减少了TCI指示的信令开销。进一步，在该实施例中，由于第一终端装置无需发送SL TCI标识的指示信息，第二终端装置即可确定SL TCI标识，进一步可减少TCI指示的信令开销。
本申请实施例还提供一种通信方法，利用该通信方法可实现为第一终端装置和/或第二终端装置配置SL TCI标识。
在一种可能的实现方式中，第一终端装置可确定N SL-TCI个SL-TCI标识，向第二终端装置发送第一配置信息，所述第一配置信息用于为第二终端装置配置N SL-TCI个SL-TCI标识。可选的，第一配置信息可承载于PC5-RRC信令中，或者，PC5接口的MAC CE中。N SL-TCI为大于或等于1，小于或等于

的正整数，N SL-TCI个SL-TCI标识表示第一终端装置发送各个RS可以使用的SL TCI标识的数目。
可选的，N SL-TCI可以是根据第一终端装置激活的或者全部的，面板的数目得到的。例如，第一终端装置具有4个面板，则第一终端装置配置N SL-TCI＝4个SL-TCI标识。进一步的，当每个面板上仅有一根天线时，此时该面板的数目等价于天线的数目。或者，N SL-TCI可以是根据第一终端装置支持的发送波束的数目所确定的。例如，第一终端装置支持32个发送波束，则第一终端设备可以配置N SL-TCI＝32个SL-TCI标识。

的正整数，N SL-TCI个SL-TCI标识表示资源池内任意发送装置发送各个RS可以使用的SL TCI标识的数目。所述资源池是 SL传输可以使用的时频资源的集合，具体形式可以为时域上的多个正交频分复用(orthogonal frequency division multiplexing，OFDM)符号以及频域上多个连续的物理资源块(physical resource block，PRB)对应的集合。单个PRB在频域上包括12个子载波(sub-carrier)。所述资源池可具体为发送资源池或接收资源池。相应的，第一终端装置可根据发送资源池的配置信息，确定N SL-TCI个SL-TCI标识。第二终端装置可根据接收资源池的配置信息，确定N SL-TCI个SL-TCI标识。
在本申请实施例中，通过上述SL TCI标识的配置方法，弥补了SL中缺少SL TCI标识的技术欠缺。且基于提出的简化的SL TCI标识的定义，相对于Uu空口，可减少TCI配置的信令开销，解决了Uu空口中由于QCL类型过多导致的TCI配置方法过于复杂的技术问题。
需要说明的是，上述SL TCI标识的配置方法，与上述SL TCI标识的指示方法，可相结合使用，也可单独使用，不作限定。
如图9所示，提供一种通信方法，该通信方法可为上述SL TCI标识的配置方法与SL TCI标识的指示方法相结合使用的一种示例。在该流程中，以第一终端装置为发送端UE，第二终端装置为接收端UE为例进行说明。该流程包括：
S901：发送端UE确定SL TCI标识的配置，接收端UE确定SL TCI标识的配置。
一种可能的实现方式中，发送端UE配置N SL-TCI个SL-TCI标识，并向接收端UE发送配置信息，所述配置信息用于配置N SL-TCI个SL-TCI标识，所述配置信息承载于PC5-RRC信令或者MAC CE中，N SL-TCI为小于或等于
Figure PCTCN2021092746-appb-000037
的正整数。或者，在资源池(resource pool)中配置N SL-TCI个SL-TCI标识。发送端UE根据资源池的配置信息确定N SL-TCI个SL-TCI标识。接收端UE根据资源池的配置信息确定N SL-TCI个SL-TCI标识。
在本申请实施例中，发送端UE可采用显式指示方式或隐式指示方式指示第一RS的SL TCI标识。若发送端UE采用显示指示方式指示第一RS的SL TCI标识。则可选的，图9所示的流程中，可包括：S902：发送端UE向接收端UE发送第一指示信息，所述第一指示信息用于指示第一RS的SL TCI标识，所述第一RS是发送端UE发送的任意一个RS。
当第一RS为PSSCH DMRS，和/或，PSSCH DMRS时，所述SL TCI标识的指示方法可如下：发送端UE向接收端UE发送第一指示信息，所述第一指示信息用于指示PSSCH DMRS，和/或，PSCCH DMRS的SL TCI标识，所述第一指示信息可承载在第二级SCI的M比特中，M为正整数。接收端UE通过所述第一指示信息，可确定PSSCH DMRS，和/或，PSCCH DMRS的SL TCI标识。关于M，可参见上述图7流程中的记载，在此不再说明。
当第一RS为SL CSI-RS时，所述SL TCI标识的指示方法可如下：发送端UE配置SL CSI-RS图样(pattern)，发送端UE向接收端UE发送第一指示信息，所述指示信息用于指示第一SL CSI-RS的SL TCI标识，所述第一指示信息承载在第二级SCI的M比特中，M为正整数。接收端UE通过所述第一指示信息，确定SL CSI-RS的SL TCI标识。
当所述第一RS为S-SSB时，SL TCI标识可采用隐式的指式方法。发送端UE可将上述S-SSB的SL TCI标识承载于PSBCH DMRS序列的初始化参数c init中，或者承载于PSBCH中的编码比特(encoded bits)的加扰(scrambling)序列的初始化参数c init中。具体的承载方式，可参见上述图8所示流程的记载，在此不再说明。
S903：发送端UE向接收端UE发送所述第一RS。
需要说明的是，发送端UE可以同时执行步骤S902和步骤S903，即发送端UE可同时向接收端UE发送第一RS，以及第一RS的SL TCI标识的第一指示信息。或者，发送端UE可按照先后顺序执行步骤S902和步骤S903。例如，发送端UE可先执行步骤S902，再执行步骤S903，或者，发送端UE可先执行步骤S903，再执行步骤S902等，不作限定。
S904：接收端UE根据来自发送端UE的所述第一指示信息，确定第一RS的SL TCI标识。
在Uu空口中，通过TCI状态、QCL的定义构建了Uu空口中的TCI框架，并通过RRC信令、MAC CE、DCI给出了Uu空口中TCI状态的配置和指示方法。Uu空口中的TCI框架对于PC5接口是过于灵活的，其配置和指示方式复杂，所使用的RRC信令以及MAC CE在PC5接口中也不存在，且信令开销大。在本申请实施例中，为PC5接口定义了一种新的SL TCI标识，并使用合理的配置和指示方法，通过PC5接口中的高层信令及物理层控制信息完成了SL TCI标识的配置和指示，减少了信令开销。
基于上述SL TCI标识的配置与指示方法，本申请实施例提供一种面板选择、波束选择或天线选择的方法，该方法可解决SL中缺少面板选择、波束选择或天线选择方法的技术问题。以第一终端装置为发送端UE，第二终端装置为接收端UE为例进行描述。
该方法的原理为：由于不同面板、波束或天线所发送的RS所经历的信道特性不同。因此当SL TCI标识用于标识不同信道特性时，SL TCI标识还可标识不同的面板、波束或天线。接收端UE可对不同面板、波束或天线发送的参考信号进行测量，且反馈测量结果和对应的SL TCI标识。发送端UE根据测量结果，进行面板、波束或天线的选择。比如，发送端UE可选择最好的测量结果所对应的SL TCI标识所对应的天线、波束或面板等。
在本申请实施例中，可设定发送端UE具有K个候选面板或候选波束，K为正整数。可选的，每个面板上仅有一根天线时，该K个候选面板等价于K个候选天线。在以下实施例中，以面板作为候选对象的面板选择为示例，描述本申请实施例的流程。可以理解的是，实际的候选对象除了面板外，还可以是波束或天线等。如图10所示，该流程包括：
可选的，S1000：发送端UE确定用于面板选择的RS。
在一种可能的实现方式中，发送端UE可确定用于面板选择的RS是SL CSI-RS。可选的，发送端UE可配置一个SL CSI-RS图样；发送端UE可向接收端UE发送指示信息，所述指示信息用于配置一个SL CSI-RS图样。或者，发送端UE可确定用于面板选择的RS是S-SSB。
需要说明的是，上述步骤S1000是可选的步骤，即发送端UE可以不需要确定用于面板选择的RS。此时，用于面板选择的RS可以是标准定义的，或者资源池配置的，或者发送端UE预配置的等，不作限定。
S1001：发送端UE向接收端UE发送用于面板选择的RS。
一种可能的实现方式，用于面板选择的RS可以为SL CSI-RS，发送端UE可向接收端UE发送SL CSI-RS和第一指示信息，所述第一指示信息用于指示SL CSI-RS的SL TCI标识。例如，发送端UE在N slot个时隙中的第n个时隙，使用第k个面板向接收端UE发送第一指示信息以及SL CSI-RS；其中，N slot为正整数，n为满足0≤n≤N slot-1的整数，k为满足0≤k≤K-1的整数，所述第一指示信息用于指示第n个时隙发送的SL CSI-RS的SL  TCI标识n SL-TCI，n SL-TCI为满足0≤n SL-TCI≤N SL-TCI-1的整数，N SL-TCI为大于或等于K的正整数。接收端UE在N slot个时隙中接收来自发送端UE的第一指示信息以及SL CSI-RS。且接收端UE通过所述第一指示信息，确定上述SL CSI-RS的SL TCI标识。
示例性的，如图11所示，发送端UE具有K＝2个候选面板，两个候选面板所对应的SL TCI标识n SL-TCI分别为0和1。发送端UE可使用N slot＝4个时隙分别发送SL CSI-RS。例如，发送端UE可在第0个时隙和第1个时隙使用面板0发送SL TCI标识为0的SL CSI-RS，发送端UE在第2个时隙和第3个时隙使用面板1发送SL TCI标识为1的SL CSI-RS。
另一种可能的实现方式，用于面板选择的RS可以为S-SSB。发送端UE可向接收端UE发送S-SSB，所述S-SSB中可携带有SL TCI标识的第一指示信息。例如，发送端UE在N slot个时隙中的第n个时隙，可使用第k个面板向接收端UE发送S-SSB，所述S-SSB包括第一指示信息；其中，N slot为正整数，n为满足0≤n≤N slot-1的整数，k为满足0≤k≤K-1的整数，所述第一指示信息用于指示第n个时隙发送的S-SSB的SL TCI标识，即n SL-TCI，n SL-TCI为满足0≤n SL-TCI≤N SL-TCI-1的整数，N SL-TCI为大于或等于K的正整数。接收端UE在N slot个时隙中接收来自发送端UE的S-SSB，所述S-SSB包括第一指示信息。接收端UE通过所述第一指示信息，确定S-SSB的SL TCI标识。
需要说明的是，在本申请实施例中的“时隙”是传输下行链路信息，或上行链路信息，或SL信息所使用的时间单位。可选的，一个时隙可包括14个或者12个OFDM符号。在NR系统中，对于不同的子载波间隔(subcarrier spacing，SCS)，一个帧(frame)中包含的时隙数目也不同。设定一个帧长为10ms。如果使用常规循环前缀(normal cyclic prefix，NCP)，则：当SCS为15kHz时，10ms的帧内包含10个时隙，单个时隙对应1ms；当SCS为30kHz时，10ms的帧内包含20个时隙，单个时隙对应0.5ms；当SCS为60kHz时，10ms的帧内包含40个时隙，单个时隙对应0.25ms；当SCS为120kHz时，10ms的帧内包含80个时隙，单个时隙对应0.125ms。或者，如果使用拓展循环前缀(extended cyclic prefix，ECP)，则仅支持SCS为60kHz，10ms的帧内包含40个时隙，单个时隙对应0.25ms的配置。
S1002：接收端UE对用于面板选择的RS进行测量，根据测量结果向发送端UE发送第二指示信息。可选的，所述第二指示信息可承载在一个或者多个MAC CE中。
S1003：发送端UE根据所述第二指示信息，进行面板选择。
在一种可能的实现方式中，接收端UE在接收到通过不同面板发送的RS之后，可分别对RS进行测量，得到测量结果。接收端UE可向发送端UE发送上述第二指示信息，所述第二指示信息用于指示不同的测量结果，以及每个测量结果所对应的SL TCI标识。发送端UE在接收到不同的测量结果后，选择满足条件的测量结果，且将满足条件的测量结果所对应的SL TCI标识所对应的面板，作为选定的面板。可选的，后续发送端UE可利用选定的面板与接收端UE进行数据传输。或者，接收端UE可根据不同RS的测量结果，直接选择满足条件的测量结果。之后接收端UE向发送端UE所发送的第二指示信息中，仅携带有满足条件的测量结果所对应的SL TCI标识。接收端UE可将第二指示信息中所携带的SL TCI标识所对应的面板，作为选定的面板。
仍沿用上述图11的举例，发送端UE具有2个面板，分别为面板0和面板1。发送端UE在第0时隙使用面板0发送SL CSI-RS，面板0对应的SL TCI标识为0。发送端在第1时隙使用面板1发送SL CSI-RS，面板1对应的SL TCI标识为1。接收端UE可对第0时 隙发送的SL CSI-RS进行测量，得到信道测量结果0。同理，接收端UE也可对第1时隙发送的SL CSI-RS进行测量，得到信道测量结果1。接收端UE可向发送端UE分别反馈上述两个SL CSI-RS的信道测量结果，以及每个信道测量结果对应的SL TCI标识。之后，在S1003中，接收端UE可根据CSI-RS的信道测量结果，进行面板选择。例如，若面板0所发送的CSI-RS对应的信道测量结果较好，则后续发送端UE可选择面板0与接收端UE进行通信。或者，上述进行面板选择的过程，可发生在接收端UE侧，接收端UE可直接根据RS的测量结果，选择面板，后续在上述S1002的第二指示信息中，可仅携带有所选定面板的SL TCI标识即可。
需要说明的是，由于选择一个RS后，发送端UE需要在不同的面板上多次发送，且针对每一次发送，接收端UE均需反馈一个测量结果。因此，在上述图10所示的流程中，上述S1001与上述S1002是循环执行的。例如，发送端UE所确定的用于面板选择的RS为SL CSI-RS。发送端UE侧具有2个面板。那么发送端UE需分别在2个面板上发送SL CSI-RS。且针对每一个CSI-RS，接收端UE均需反馈一个测量结果。比如，在一种可能的实现方式中，上述过程的先后执行顺序可为：发送端UE利用面板0向接收端UE发送SL CSI-RS0，接收端UE反馈CSI-RS0的测量结果。发送端UE利用面板1向接收端UE发关SL CSI-RS1，接收端UE反馈CSI-RS1的测量结果。或者，发送端UE利用面板0和1分别向接收端UE发磅CSI-RS0和CSI-RS1。之后，接收端UE再分别反馈CSI-RS0和CSI-RS1的测量结果，不作限定。
由于在Uu空口中，通过TCI状态、QCL的定义构建了Uu空口中的TCI框架，并通过该TCI框架实现面板选择，或波束选择。然而，Uu空口的TCI框架因信令开销大，以及所需信令在PC5接口不存在而不能应用于SL中。在上述实施例中，基于提出的SL TCI标识的配置和指示方法，实现了SL中的面板、波束或天线的选择。
如图12所示，提供一种SL TCI标识的指示方法。在以下实施例中，以第一终端装置为发送端UE，第二终端装置为接收端UE为例进行描述。该方法的原理为：预先为发送端UE和接收端UE配置多个SL CSI-RS图样。由于不同面板、波束或天线所发送的SL CSI-RS的图样可以不相同。因此，SL CSI-RS图样与SL TCI标识之间可存在对应关系。两者之间，可为一对一的关系，即一个SL CSI-RS图样对应一个SL TCI标识。或者，两者之间，可为多对一的关系，即多个SL CSI-RS图样对应一个SL TCI标识。参见图12，该方法包括：
S1200：发送端UE配置N CSI-RS个SL CSI-RS图样与N SL-TCI个SL TCI标识的对应关系。其中，N CSI-RS为大于或等于2的正整数，N SL-TCI小于或等于N CSI-RS的正整数。
S1201：发送端UE向接收端UE发送第一指示信息，所述第一指示信息用于指示所述N CSI-RS个SL CSI-RS图样与所述N SL-TCI个SL TCI标识的对应关系。相应的，接收端UE接收来自发送端UE的所述第一指示信息。可选的，所述第一指示信息可携带于PC5-RRC信令中。可选的，所述N CSI-RS个SL CSI-RS图样被配置用于面板选择，或波束选择。
S1202：接收端UE根据所述第一指示信息，确定所述N CSI-RS个SL CSI-RS图样与N SL-TCI个SL TCI标识的对应关系。
在S1202之后，发送端UE可直接向终端设备发送第一SL CSI-RS。接收端UE在接收到该第一SL CSI-RS之后，可根据上述配置的N CSI-RS个SL CSI-RS图样以及所述N SL-TCI个SL TCI标识的对应关系，确定上述第一SL CSI-RS的图样所对应的SL TCI标识。
通过上述方法，提出了一种对于多个SL CSI-RS图样的SL TCI标识的指示方法，发送端UE可预先将SL CSI-RS图样与SL TCI标识的对应关系配置给接收端UE，后续发送端UE不再需要额外指示各个SL CSI-RS图样的SL TCI标识，降低了信令开销。
基于上述SL TCI标识的指示方法，提供一种面板选择、波束选择或天线选择的方法。在以下实施例中，以第一终端装置为发送端UE，第二终端装置为接收端UE为例进行描述。
同样，在本示例中，发送端UE可具有K个候选面板或候选波束，K为正整数。可选的，当每个面板上仅有一根天线上，上述候选面板等价于候选天线。在本申请实施例中，以面板作为候选对象的面板选择为例进行说明。可以理解的是，实际的候选对象除面板外，还以是波束或天线等。如图13所示，该流程包括：
S1301：发送端UE配置N CSI-RS个SL CSI-RS图样与N SL-TCI个SL TCI标识的对应关系，发送端UE向接收端UE发送第一指示信息，所述第一指示信息用于指示所述N CSI-RS个SL CSI-RS图样与N SL-TCI个SL TCI标识的对应关系。
S1302：发送端UE触发面板选择。
在一种可能的实现方式中，发送端UE可向接收端UE发送第二指示信息，所述第二指示信息用于指示发送端UE触发了面板选择，所述第二指示信息承载在第二级SCI的M′比特中，M′为正整数。可选的，M′＝1。
S1303：发送端UE向接收端UE发送所述N CSI-RS个SL CSI-RS图样对应的SL CSI-RS标识。
一种可能的实现方式。发送端UE在N slot个时隙中的第n个时隙，使用k n个面板同时发送g n个SL CSI-RS图样对应的SL CSI-RS；其中，N slot为正整数，n为满足0≤n≤N slot-1的整数，k n为小于等于K的正整数，且k n满足
Figure PCTCN2021092746-appb-000038
g n为小于等于N CSI-RS的正整数，且g n满足
Figure PCTCN2021092746-appb-000039
接收端UE在N slot个时隙中接收来自发送端UE的所述N CSI-RS个SL CSI-RS图样对应的SL CSI-RS。接收端UE根据所述N CSI-RS个SL CSI-RS图样，确定各个SL CSI-RS的SL TCI标识。
S1304：接收端UE对接收到的CSI-RS进行测量，得到测量结果，根据测量结果向发送端UE发送第三指示信息，所述第三指示信息用于指示信道测量结果对应的CSI-RS的SL TCI标识。相应的，发送端UE接收来自接收端UE的第三指示信息。可选的，所述第三指示信息可承载在一个或者多个MAC CE中。
S1305：发送端UE根据所述第三指示信息进行面板选择。
在本申请实施例中，发送端UE在不同面板，天线或波束发送的RS，接收端UE对RS进行测量以及反馈，发送端UE根据反馈的测量结果进行面板选择，解决了SL中缺少面板、天线或波束选择方法这一技术问题。进一步，与上述图10所示的流程相比，当前方案使用较少的时隙即可完成面板，天线或波束选择，提高了选择效率。且不使用第二级SCI指示SL TCI标识，节省了信令开销。
