Description

资源分配方法及装置
本申请要求于2020年08月19日提交国家知识产权局、申请号为202010839306.1、发明名称为“资源分配方法及装置”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，尤其涉及一种资源分配方法及装置。
背景技术
如图1所示，为一种传统的多入多出(multiple-input multiple-output，MIMO)系统。在MIMO系统中通过在发射端和接收端分别部署多根天线，提高通信系统的传输性能。例如，在分集场景下，MIMO技术可有效提升传输可靠性；在复用场景下，MIMO技术可以大大提升传输吞吐量。但是，由于基站侧部署的天线为有源天线阵列(active antenna array，AAA)，需要处理的信号数据量较大，导致基站侧功耗较大。
基于此，如图2所示，在传统MIMO系统中引入电磁超表面阵列，也称之为智能反射面(intelligence reflecting surface，IRS)阵列，构成一种新型架构的MIMO系统，称之为IRS-MIMO系统。其中，IRS阵列只对输入信号和输出信号的相位进行控制，本身不主动发射用户数据，其功耗较低。因此，可以将IRS阵列视为一种无源阵列。如图3所示，为基站侧不同数量的有源天线与不同数量的IRS无源天线组合，发射端信噪比与接收端的和速率的关系。在发射端信噪比相同的情况下，相对于配置较大规模有源天线阵列的传统MIMO系统，在IRS-MIMO系统中，基站侧配置较小规模的有源天线阵列，配合中等规模的IRS阵列，即可获得较大的和速率，实现较优的通信性能，有效降低基站侧功耗。
IRS-MIMO系统在运行过程中，需要通过配置IRS阵列中的反射单元的控制参数(例如相位参数)，进行信道设计，以提高传输效率。在信道设计过程中，需要由终端侧进行下行信道信息测量并上传至基站，基站基于下行信道信息，确定反射单元的控制参数。但是，IRS-MIMO系统中的下行信道信息数据量较大，导致测量和反馈的周期较长，信道设计的效率较低。
发明内容
本申请的实施例提供一种资源分配方法及装置，能够利用灵活时隙资源，确定IRS阵列的控制参数，不会对上行数据和下行数据的传输产生影响。
为达到上述目的，本申请采用如下技术方案：
第一方面，本申请提供一种资源分配方法，该方法可以由终端设备执行，也可以由终端设备中的组件(比如芯片系统)执行，该方法可以包括：终端设备获取资源指示信息。该资源指示信息用于指示灵活时隙中的上行链路UL传输资源和下行链路DL传输资源。其中，灵活时隙用于确定智能反射面IRS阵列的控制参数。终端设备基于资源指示信息进行UL传输和DL传输。
其中，IRS阵列的控制参数例如包括IRS阵列中的反射单元的相位参数，IRS阵列基于控制参数，反射接收到的入射信号。
在一些实施例中，网络设备将灵活时隙中的资源配置为用于确定IRS阵列的控制参数的上行传输资源和下行传输资源。在灵活时隙中，网络设备通过与终端设备交互，确定IRS阵列的控制参数。
如此，网络设备在确定IRS阵列参数的过程中，不会对上行数据和下行数据的传输产生影响。并且，能够灵活时隙，灵活的确定IRS阵列参数，提高信道设计效率。
在一种可能的实现方式中，终端设备和网络设备之间的上行级联信道和下行级联信道具有互易性，资源指示信息中包含第一指示信息，第一指示信息包含第一资源配置信息。第一资源配置信息用于配置第一UL传输资源和第一DL传输资源。其中，第一UL传输资源包括第一时间段，第一DL传输资源包括第二时间段，第一时间段先于第二时间段，第一时间段和第二时间段包含的符号数量相同或者不相同。
可选的，在终端设备获得资源指示信息之前，需要网络设备由确定网络设备和终端设备之间的上行级联信道和下行级联信道是否具有互易性。之后，再根据互易性配置资源指示信息。
在一些实施例中，网络设备预设网络设备和终端设备之间的上行级联信道和下行级联信道不具有互易性。或者，网络设备根据终端设备的位置信息，确定网络设备和终端设备之间的上行级联信道和下行级联信道是否具有互易性。
其中，在网络设备和终端设备之间的上行级联信道和下行级联信道具有互易性的情况下，网络设备可以根据终端设备发送的上行参考信号，结合当前的IRS阵列的控制参数，获得上行信道信息。之后，网络设备根据上行信道信息估计下行信道信息，进而根据下行信道信息，确定调节后的IRS阵列的控制参数，完成信道设计。
可选的，网络设备需要基于上行参考信号，估计下行信道信息。因此，在灵活时隙中，需要先配置第一UL传输资源，再配置第一DL传输资源，也即，第一时间段先于第二时间段。
示例性的，网络设备可以将灵活时隙中除用于传输资源指示信息的符号以外的符号中，在先的连续一个或多个符号配置为UL符号，剩余符号配置为DL符号。比如，灵活时隙中包含符号编号0至符号编号13工14个符号。将符号编号为0和符号编号为1的符号配置为DL符号，用于传输资源指示信息。将符号编号为3至符号编号为8的符号配置为UL符号，即第一时间段包含6个UL符号。将符号编号为9至符号编号为13的符号配置为DL符号，即第二时间段包含5个DL符号。将符号编号为2的符号配置为灵活符号，用于将下行传输模式转换为上行传输模式。
在另一种实现方式中，灵活时隙中也可以配置一个或多个第一UL传输资源，以及配置一个或多个第一DL传输资源。那么，第一时间段和第二时间段可以交替实现。可以将在先的第一时间段和在后的第二时间段视为一组时间段，灵活时隙中包含一组或多组该时间段。
示例性的，网络设备可以将灵活时隙中除用于传输资源指示信息的符号以外的符号中，交替配置为UL符号和DL符号，并保证先配置UL符号。比如，将符号编号为0和符号编号为1的符号配置为DL符号，用于传输资源指示信息。将符号编号为3至符号编号为5的符号配置为UL符号，即第一时间段包含3个UL符号。将符号编号为6至符号编号为8的符号配置为DL符号，即第二时间段包含3个DL符号。将符号编号为10和符号编号为11的符号配置为UL符号，即又一个第一时间段，包含2个UL符号。将符号编号为12的符号配置为DL符号，即又一个第二时间段，包含1个DL符号。将符号编号为2和符号编号为9的符号配置为灵活符号，用于将下行传输模式转换为上行传输模式。
如此，利用IRS阵列的局部互易性，实现快速确定IRS阵列的控制参数。
在一种可能的实现方式中，第一指示信息还包括第一IRS阵列控制参数，方法还包括：终端设备利用第一UL传输资源向网络设备发送上行参考信号，以使得网络设备基于第一IRS阵列控制参数和上行参考信号，获得第二IRS阵列控制参数。终端设备利用第一DL传输资源，接收IRS阵列利用第二IRS阵列控制参数反射的第一下行信号和/或第一下行数据。
也就是说，终端设备需要先发送上行参考信号。在网络设备确定第二IRS阵列控制参数之后，终端设备能够接收到IRS阵列利用第二IRS阵列控制参数，反射的网络设备发送的第一下行信号和/或第一下行数据。
后续，IRS阵列利用第二IRS阵列控制参数反射终端设备发送的上行信号，网络设备获得的终端设备的上行信号和速率大于第一IRS阵列控制参数时，获得的上行信号和速率。也就是说，调整后的第二IRS阵列控制参数，能够提升终端设备发送上行信号的和速率。
在一种可能的实现方式中，终端设备和网络设备之间的上行级联信道和下行级联信道不具有互易性，资源指示信息中包含第二指示信息，第二指示信息包含第二资源配置信息；第二资源配置信息用于配置第二DL传输资源和第二UL传输资源；第二DL传输资源包括第三时间段，第二UL传输资源包括第四时间段，第三时间段先于第四时间段，第三时间段和第四时间段包含的符号数量相同或者不相同。
其中，在网络设备和终端设备之间的上行级联信道和下行级联信道不具有互易性的情况下，网络设备需要根据终端设备测量的下行信道信息，结合当前的IRS阵列的控制参数，确定调节后的IRS阵列的控制参数，完成信道设计。因此，网络设备需要先配置用于发送下行数据和/或下行信号的第二DL传输资源，再配置用于传输下行信道信息测量结果的第二UL传输资源。也即，第三时间段先于第四时间段。
示例性的，网络设备可以将灵活时隙中除用于传输资源指示信息的符号以外的符号中，在先的连续一个或多个符号配置为DL符号，剩余符号配置为UL符号。比如，将符号编号为0和符号编号为1的符号配置为DL符号，用于传输资源指示信息。将符号编号为2至符号编号为8的符号配置为DL符号，即第三时间段包含7个DL符号。将符号编号为10至符号编号为12的符号配置为UL符号，即第四时间段包含3个UL符号。将符号编号为9的符号配置为灵活符号，用于将下行传输模式转换为上行传输模式。将符号编号为13的符号配置为DL符号，用于向IRS 阵列传输网络设备确定的IRS阵列的控制参数。
在另一种可能的实现方式中，灵活时隙中也可以配置一个或多个第二DL传输资源，以及配置一个或多个第二UL传输资源。那么，第三时间段和第四时间段可以交替实现。可以将在先的第三时间段和在后的第四时间段视为一组时间段，灵活时隙中包含一组或多组该时间段。
示例性的，网络设备可以将灵活时隙中除用于传输资源指示信息的符号以外的符号中，交替配置为DL符号和UL符号，并保证先配置DL符号。比如，将符号编号为0和符号编号为1的符号配置为DL符号，用于传输资源指示信息。将符号编号为2和符号编号为3的符号配置为DL符号，即第三时间段包含2个UL符号。将符号编号为5和符号编号为6的符号配置为UL符号，即第四时间段包含2个UL符号。将符号编号为7和符号编号为8的符号配置为DL符号，即又一个第三时间段，包含2个DL符号。将符号编号为10和符号编号为11的符号配置为UL符号，即又一个第四时间段，包含2个UL符号。将符号编号为4和符号编号为9的符号配置为灵活符号，用于将下行传输模式转换为上行传输模式。将符号编号为12的符号配置为DL符号，用于向IRS阵列传输网络设备确定的IRS阵列的控制参数。
在一种可能的实现方式中，该方法还包括：目标终端设备向网络设备发送请求信息；请求信息用于请求参与IRS阵列的控制参数的确定过程；目标终端设备为终端设备中的至少一个设备。
其中，下行信道信息包括下行直达信道信息和下行级联信道信息。其中，下行级联信道信息数据量较大，测量和反馈的周期较长。因此，可以选取其中的部分终端设备参数信道设计，以减小测量的数据量。
可选的，目标终端设备为由参与确定IRS阵列的控制参数的设备。例如，终端设备移动到小区边缘，则需要进行信道设计，以提升通信速度。因此，会向网络设备发送请求信息，使得网络设备可以根据请求信息，确定参与确定IRS阵列的控制参数的设备。
在一种可能的实现方式中，该方法还包括：目标终端设备利用第二DL传输资源接收网络设备发送的第二下行信号和第二下行数据。目标终端设备根据第二下行信号和第二下行数据，获得第一信道信息；第一信道信息包括下行直达信道信息和下行级联信道信息。目标终端设备利用第二UL传输资源向网络设备发送第一信道信息。
可选的，目标终端设备的数量为多个，第一信道信息的传输模式为复用传输模式。
如此，网络设备基于目标终端设备的下行信道测量结果，就可以确定IRS阵列的控制参数，提升信道优化效率。
在一种可能的实现方式中，第二UL传输资源还包括网络设备为目标终端设备配置的物理上行共享信道PUSCH资源信息，PUSCH资源用于传输第一信道信息。
在一些实施例中，终端设备若无发送上行数据的需求，网络设备只会为终端设备配置物理上行控制信道PUCCH资源，用于传输控制信息。PUCCH容量较小，无法单独完成传输第一信道信息。因此，网络设备还需要为目标终端设备配置PUSCH 资源。若目标终端设备的数量为多个，则多个目标终端设备可以利用PUSCH和PUCCH，在分配的UL符号上利用复用模式传输。
在一种可能的实现方式中，灵活时隙的第1个灵活符号至第1+i个灵活符号用于传输资源指示信息，i为自然数；其中，i的大小为网络设备根据如下一项或几项内容确定：网络设备的天线数量，终端设备或目标终端的天线数量，终端设备或目标终端的数量，IRS阵列的数量，IRS阵列中的反射单元数量。
可选的，资源指示信息中包含资源配置方式。因此，终端设备需要先接收到资源指示信息，才可以配置灵活时隙中的资源。因此，将灵活时隙中，时域上的前i个符号配置为用于传输资源指示信息的下行资源。
进一步的，若需要配置的资源数量较多，则需要配置更多的灵活符号用于传输资源指示信息。
在一种可能的实现方式中，用于确定IRS阵列的控制参数的灵活时隙的数量为多个，多个灵活时隙中最先的第一个灵活时隙用于传输资源指示信息。
可选的，灵活时隙的数量为多个，多个灵活时隙的第一时间段相同或不相同，多个灵活时隙的第二时间段相同或不相同。
可选的，灵活时隙的数量为多个，多个灵活时隙的第三时间段相同或不相同，多个灵活时隙的第四时间段相同或不相同。
比如，网络设备需要利用三个灵活时隙确定IRS阵列的控制参数，在时域上的第一个灵活时隙内和第二个灵活时隙内以配置DL资源为主，无需反馈下行信道测量结果，即不用配置用于传输第一信道信息的资源。在第三个灵活时隙内配置部分DL资源和部分UL资源，即兼顾下行信道测量和反馈下行信道测量结果。
如此，在第三个灵活时隙完成IRS阵列的控制参数的确定过程，避免在确定IRS阵列的控制参数的过程中反复调整上下行传输模式，降低资源利用率。
又比如，网络设备在时域上的第一个灵活时隙内以配置DL资源为主，无需反馈下行信道测量结果，主要用于对IRS阵列1的下行信道进行测量。将第二个灵活时隙内符号编号为6至符号编号为10的符号配置为UL符号，用于反馈IRS阵列1的下行信道测量结果，进而先完成IRS阵列1控制参数的确定过程。第三个灵活时隙内配置DL资源和UL资源，用于完成IRS阵列2控制参数的确定过程。
如此，若小区内IRS阵列的数量和/或IRS阵列中的反射单元数量较多，则可以逐步完成IRS阵列控制参数的确定过程。已更新控制参数的IRS阵列或IRS阵列中的控制单元，可以逐步参与到上下行信号的传输过程中，逐步提升信道性能，缩短IRS-MIMO系统的信道设计周期。

以下，对本申请实施例中的部分用语进行解释说明，以便于本领域技术人员理解。
(1)IRS阵列控制参数
在一些实施例中，网络设备配置的天线数量为N，终端设备配置的天线数量为M，IRS阵列中的反射单元数量为K。其中，M，N和K为正整数。如图4所示，网络设备和终端设备之间的直达信道矩阵为G M×N。网络设备和终端设备之间的级联信道包含网络设备和IRS阵列之间的信道以及IRS阵列和终端设备之间的信道。其中，网络设备和IRS阵列之间的信道矩阵为(H 0) K×N，IRS阵列和终端设备之间的信道矩阵R M×K。
IRS-MIMO系统中，可以通过设计IRS阵列的相控矩阵Φ KxK来调节IRS阵列中反射单元的控制参数，实现动态调整IRS-MIMO系统性能。其中，IRS阵列中各个反射单元的控制参数构成IRS阵列控制参数。
示例性的，优化IRS-MIMO系统性能，使得IRS-MIMO系统能够获得最大化的下行传输速率，即需要调节反射单元控制参数，最大化系统容量，获得最大和速率。其中，系统容量C可以通过下述公式确定。
Figure PCTCN2021108671-appb-000001
S.t.|θ i|＝1；
||w i||＝1；
Figure PCTCN2021108671-appb-000002
Figure PCTCN2021108671-appb-000003
在上述求解系统容量C的公式中，θ＝diag(Φ)表示IRS阵列各发射单元的控制参数，即相位参数。网络设备通过设计调整θ，可以生成终端设备需要的级联信道。w i表示u个用户中第i个用户的发射预编码矢量，用于增强链路增益且消除多用户数据流间的干扰。p i表示网络设备分配给u个终端设备中第i个终端设备的发射功率。通过优化设计参数集{θ，w i，p i}，以获得最大的系统和速率。其中，diag函数用于将矩阵转化为向量，或者将向量转化为矩阵。比如，diag(Φ)用于表示取矩阵Φ中对角线上的元素，组成为一个新的列向量。向量或矩阵上带有角标“H”用于表示对当前向量或矩阵进行求共轭转置的操作。比如，
Figure PCTCN2021108671-appb-000004
用于表示对向量w i进行求共轭转置的操作，
Figure PCTCN2021108671-appb-000005
为向量w i的共轭转置向量。
其中，该参数集合的获得需要输入终端设备的下行信道信息，包含网络设备与终端设备之间的下行直达信道信息{g i}和网络设备与终端设备之间的下行级联信道信息{diag(r i)H 0}。网络设备基于下行信道信息，可以获得使系统和速率最大的IRS阵列的控制参数，也即IRS阵列中的反射单元的控制参数。基于IRS阵列控制 参数，完成信道设计。并且，当前情况下，设计后的信道可以保证下行传输速率最大。
但是，需要由网络设备向终端设备发送下行数据和下行信号，终端设备再基于下行数据和下行信号进行信道测量。之后，终端设备将测量获得的下行信道信息反馈至网络设备，网络设备才能够根据下行信道信息的测量结果，设计IRS阵列的控制参数。在该过程中，由于下行信道信息中的下行级联信道信息数据量较大，导致测量和反馈的周期较长，IRS阵列参数设计的效率较低，进而导致IRS-MIMO系统的信道设计效率较低。
(2)互易性
通信系统的上下传输使用相同的频域资源，当上行信号和下行信号发送的时间间隔足够短时，可以认为上行信道和下行信道的信道衰落基本相同，即上行信道和下行信道具有互易性。在上行信道和下行信道具有互易性时，网络设备可以通过检测终端设备发送的上行参考信号，估计发送下行信号要经历的信道衰落。
可选的，在IRS-MIMO系统中，上行级联信道和下行级联信道同样也可以具有互易性，但是受限于IRS阵列，上行级联信道和下行级联信道的互易性局限在一定的入射角度和反射角度范围以内。也即IRS阵列具有局部互易性。
示例性的，如图6所示，NO用于表示垂直于IRS阵列平面的法向量，AO用于表示入射信号(也可以描述为入射电磁波)，OB用于表示反射信号(也可以描述为反射电磁波)。图6中IRS阵列接收的入射信号和反射的发射信号均处于AOB平面上。其中，AO和ON之间的夹角为入射角度，ON和OB之间的夹角为反射角度。用α1表示最小入射角度，α2表示最大入射角度，β1表示最小反射角度，β2表示最大反射角度。如图6所示，在入射角度在[α1,α2]的角度范围内且反射角度在[β1，β2]的角度范围且反射角度内的情况下，上行级联信道和下行级联信道具有互易性。
首先介绍一种现有技术中的资源分配方法，图7为根据该资源分配方法配置的时域资源示意图。如图7中(a)所示，利用上下行级联信道的互易性，时域资源的分配方式为先配置上行时隙，网络设备利用上行时隙接收终端设备发送的上行参考信号。之后，网络设备根据上行参考信号和当前IRS阵列参数，估计上行直达信道信息和上行级联信道信息。基于信道的互易性，利用上行直达信道信息和上行级联信道信息，确定能够最大化下行传输速率的IRS阵列参数。之后，在配置的配置时间资源上向IRS阵列控制器传输该IRS阵列参数，完成IRS阵列参数的重配置。最后，如图7中(a)所示，网络设备在配置的下行时隙向IRS阵列传输下行信号，IRS阵列利用重配置的IRS阵列参数向终端设备发射下行信号，完成下行传输。
如图7中(b)所示，按照如图7中(a)所示的一个周期内的时域资源配置方式，配置多个周期的时域资源。不同周期之间需要配置用于调整上行传输时隙对齐的时间前置(time advance，TA)的保护时隙，以保证终端设备发送的上行信号能够在同一时刻到达网络设备，确保终端设备之间上行信号的正交性，从而有助于消除终端设备间的上行信号干扰。其中，保护时隙可以描述为灵活时隙等。那么，如图7中(b)所示，为了配置保护时隙，需要占用一部分下行时隙资源， 导致下行传输资源的利用率降低。
进一步的，现有技术中的资源分配方法至少还具有以下问题：首先，该资源分配方法是基于上下行级联信道的互易性进行的资源分配，但是，如上文对互易性的介绍可知，在IRS阵列处需要保证信号的入射角度和反射角度在一定的角度范围以内，才能够保证信道的互易性。信道互异性的局限性，导致当前资源分配方法具有一定的局限性。其次，分配专门用于配置IRS阵列参数的配置时间资源，会导致传输资源的利用率降低。基于此，现有技术中会分配较少的配置时间资源，以缓解传输资源的利用率降低的问题。但是，IRS阵列控制器就需要在较短时间内完成接收并重配置IRS阵列参数，增加了对IRS阵列控制器性能的要求。最后，根据现有帧结构设计，如5G帧结构，一般在帧开始的位置配置下行控制信道资源。那么，当前的资源分配方法，会影响下行控制信道的容量和可靠性。
基于此，本申请实施例提供一种资源分配方法，如图8所示，该方法可以包括S801-S804。
S801、网络设备确定资源指示信息。
其中，资源指示信息用于指示灵活时隙中的上行链路(uplink，UL)传输资源和下行链路(downlink，DL)传输资源，灵活时隙用于确定IRS阵列的控制参数。一般的，在无线帧结构中，上行子帧和下行子帧之间都会配置用于上下行传输模式转换的保护间隔，该保护间隔可以用灵活时隙实现，该灵活时隙也可以描述为保护时隙。因此，利用灵活时隙完成IRS阵列控制参数设置，能够不影响现有的网络设备和终端设备之间的信号传输。并且，能够灵活配置用于确定IRS阵列控制参数的时域资源，节约IRS-MIMO系统开销。
可选的，如图9所示的一种资源映射方式，一次调度的传输资源在频域上包括一个或连续的多个子信道(sub-channel)(图9中未示出)，每个子信道在频域上包括连续的多个资源块(resource block，RB)，如10个RB，在时域上包括一个子帧(subframe)或一个时隙(slot)。下面以时隙为例说明。
示例性的，图9为本申请实施例提供的一种时域资源示意图一。如图9所示，终端设备所对应的资源池中包含时间单元0，时间单元1，时间单元2，时间单元3，时间单元4，时间单元5，时间单元6，时间单元7，时间单元8，时间单元9，…。
其中，资源池在频域上可包括一个或多个连续的子信道(sub-channel)，一个子信道可包括频域上连续的若干个RB。一个时间单元在时域上可包括一个或多个小的时间单元，该时间单元可以由时隙(slot)、微时隙(mini-slot)、子帧(subframe)、无线帧(radio frame)、发送时间间隔(transmission time interval，TTI)等多种可能的时间粒度构成的时间单元。应理解，本申请实施例对时间单元的带宽不作具体限定，时间单元中包括的子信道的数量、以及每个子信道的大小均可由网络设备进行配置或预配置。
示例性的，如图9所示，以一个时间单元在时域上为一个时隙进行说明，该时隙包括14个符号，这14个符号从左到右依次编号为0至13。14个符号中，可以将任意符号由网络设备进行配置或预配置为包含UL传输资源的符号(也称之为UL符号)，包含DL传输资源的符号(也称之为DL符号)，和/或包含用于保护间 隔和/或自动增益控制的符号。该保护间隔和/或自动增益控制的符号可以用于终端设备进行收发转换或自动增益控制，也可以称之为灵活符号。比如，如图9所示，将符号编号为0配置为DL符号，将符号编号为1和符号编号为2的符号配置为UL符号。
可选的，网络设备将用于确定IRS阵列控制参数的灵活时隙中，在时域上起始的至少第一个符号配置为DL符号，用于向终端设备传输资源指示信息，该资源指示信息可以为下行控制信息(downlink control information，DCI)。如图10中(a)所示，将符号编号为0配置为DL符号。资源指示信息用于指示灵活时隙中UL符号的起始位置和数量，以及DL符号的起始位置和数量。
其中，资源指示信息需要的DL符号数量为网络设备根据如下一项或几项内容确定：网络设备的天线数量，终端设备的天线数量，终端设备的数量，IRS阵列的数量，IRS阵列中的反射单元数量。也就是说，网络设备将灵活时隙的第1个灵活符号至第1+i个灵活符号用于传输资源指示信息，i为自然数。网络设备可以根据资源指示信息数据量的大小，设置i的取值。
示例性的，如图10中(b)所示，网络设备将符号编号为0至符号编号为2的3个符号配置为DL符号，用于传输资源指示信息。
可选的，网络设备在确定资源指示信息之前，需要先确定网络设备和终端设备之间的上行级联信道和下行级联信道是否具有互易性。互易性不同，可以确定不同的资源配置方式，以实现高效的确定IRS阵列控制参数，提升信道设计效率。
示例性的，网络设备预设网络设备和终端设备之间的上行级联信道和下行级联信道不具有互易性。或者，网络设备根据终端设备的位置信息，确定网络设备和终端设备之间的上行级联信道和下行级联信道是否具有互易性。
具体的，如上文对互易性的介绍，网络设备可以获得使上行级联信道和下行级联信道具有互易性的入射角度范围和反射角度范围。网络设备根据IRS阵列分布、终端设备分布以及入射信号角度，预测IRS阵列的反射信号角度。进而判断上行信号的入射角度是否在入射角度范围以内，反射角度是否在反射角度范围以内。以及判断下行信号的入射角度是否在入射角度范围以内，反射角度是否在反射角度范围以内。从而确定上行级联信道和下行级联信道是否具有互易性。
在一些实施例中，网络设备和终端设备之间的上行级联信道和下行级联信道具有互易性。资源指示信息中包含第一指示信息，该第一指示信息包含第一资源配置信息。该第一资源配置信息用于配置第一UL传输资源和第一DL传输资源。第一UL传输资源包括第一时间段，第一DL传输资源包括第二时间段，第一时间段先于第二时间段，第一时间段和第二时间段包含的符号数量相同或者不相同。
具体的，上行级联信道和下行级联信道具有互易性，如上文对IRS阵列控制参数的介绍，网络设备可以根据终端设备发送的上行参考信号，确定IRS阵列控制参数。因此，在配置灵活时隙中的资源时，先配置用于传输上行参考信号的UL资源，再配置用于传输URL阵列控制参数和下行信号的DL资源。
示例性的，网络设备可以将灵活时隙中除用于传输资源指示信息的符号以外的符号中，在先的连续一个或多个符号配置为UL符号，剩余符号配置为DL符号。 如图11中(a)所示，将符号编号为0和符号编号为1的符号配置为DL符号，用于传输资源指示信息。将符号编号为3至符号编号为8的符号配置为UL符号，即第一时间段包含6个UL符号。将符号编号为9至符号编号为13的符号配置为DL符号，即第二时间段包含5个DL符号。将符号编号为2的符号配置为灵活符号，用于将下行传输模式转换为上行传输模式。即实现第一时间段在时域上先于第二时间段，第一时间段长度与第二时间段长度相同或不相同。
又示例性的，网络设备可以将灵活时隙中除用于传输资源指示信息的符号以外的符号中，交替配置为UL符号和DL符号，并保证先配置UL符号。如图11中(b)所示，将符号编号为0和符号编号为1的符号配置为DL符号，用于传输资源指示信息。将符号编号为3至符号编号为5的符号配置为UL符号，即第一时间段包含3个UL符号。将符号编号为6至符号编号为8的符号配置为DL符号，即第二时间段包含3个DL符号。将符号编号为10和符号编号为11的符号配置为UL符号，即又一个第一时间段，包含2个UL符号。将符号编号为12的符号配置为DL符号，即又一个第二时间段，包含1个DL符号。将符号编号为2和符号编号为9的符号配置为灵活符号，用于将下行传输模式转换为上行传输模式。网络设备确定前13个符号即可完成IRS阵列确认过程，则将符号编号为13的符号配置为灵活符号。或者，符号编号为13的符号用于将下行传输模式转换为上行传输模式，以减少对上行传输资源时间单元4的影响。
在另一些实施例中，网络设备和终端设备之间的上行级联信道和下行级联信道不具有互易性，该资源指示信息中包含第二指示信息，该第二指示信息包含第二资源配置信息。第二资源配置信息用于配置第二DL传输资源和第二UL传输资源。第二DL传输资源包括第三时间段，第二UL传输资源包括第四时间段，第三时间段先于第四时间段，第三时间段和第四时间段包含的符号数量相同或者不相同。
具体的，上行级联信道和下行级联信道不具有互易性，如上文对IRS阵列控制参数的介绍，网络设备需要根据下行信道的测量结果，设计IRS阵列的控制参数。因此，在配置灵活时隙中的资源时，先配置用于传输下行信号和下行数据的DL资源，再配置用于传输上行信号和上行数据的UL资源。
进一步的，由于下行信道的测量结果中，下行级联信道信息数据量较大，若全部终端设备均参与测量，则会导致测量周期较长，降低信道设计效率。因此，可以利用其中的部分目标终端设备参与确定IRS阵列的控制参数。具体的，网络设备接收到目标终端设备发送的请求信息。该请求信息用于请求参与IRS阵列的控制参数的确定过程。其中，目标终端设备为终端设备中的至少一个终端设备。比如，某终端设备移动到小区边缘，需要进行信道优化，则向网络设备发送请求信息。或者，某终端设备需要获得更好的通信质量，则需要进行信道优化，那么就需要向网络设备发送请求信息。
基于此，网络设备可以根据接收到的请求信息，确定目标终端设备，进而确定需要发送资源指示信息的终端设备。
并且，在当前场景中，资源指示信息需要的DL符号数量为网络设备根据如下一项或几项内容确定：网络设备的天线数量，目标终端设备的天线数量，目标终 端设备的数量，IRS阵列的数量，IRS阵列中的反射单元数量。
示例性的，网络设备可以将灵活时隙中除用于传输资源指示信息的符号以外的符号中，在先的连续一个或多个符号配置为DL符号，剩余符号配置为UL符号。如图12中(a)所示，将符号编号为0和符号编号为1的符号配置为DL符号，用于传输资源指示信息。将符号编号为2至符号编号为8的符号配置为DL符号，即第三时间段包含7个DL符号。将符号编号为10至符号编号为12的符号配置为UL符号，即第四时间段包含3个UL符号。将符号编号为9的符号配置为灵活符号，用于将下行传输模式转换为上行传输模式。将符号编号为13的符号配置为DL符号，用于向IRS阵列传输网络设备确定的IRS阵列的控制参数。
又示例性的，网络设备可以将灵活时隙中除用于传输资源指示信息的符号以外的符号中，交替配置为DL符号和UL符号，并保证先配置DL符号。如图12中(b)所示，将符号编号为0和符号编号为1的符号配置为DL符号，用于传输资源指示信息。将符号编号为2和符号编号为3的符号配置为DL符号，即第三时间段包含2个UL符号。将符号编号为5和符号编号为6的符号配置为UL符号，即第四时间段包含2个UL符号。将符号编号为7和符号编号为8的符号配置为DL符号，即又一个第三时间段，包含2个DL符号。将符号编号为10和符号编号为11的符号配置为UL符号，即又一个第四时间段，包含2个UL符号。将符号编号为4和符号编号为9的符号配置为灵活符号，用于将下行传输模式转换为上行传输模式。将符号编号为12的符号配置为DL符号，用于向IRS阵列传输网络设备确定的IRS阵列的控制参数。网络设备确定前13个符号即可完成IRS阵列确认过程，则将符号编号为13的符号配置为灵活符号。或者，符号编号为13的符号用于将下行传输模式转换为上行传输模式，以减少对上行传输资源时间单元4的影响。
在一种可能的实现方式中，第二UL传输资源还包括网络设备为目标终端设备配置的物理上行共享信道(physical uplink shared channel，PUSCH)资源信息，PUSCH资源用于传输第一信道信息。其中，第一信道信息包括下行直达信道信息和下行级联信道信息。
具体的，在终端设备没有数据传输需求的情况下，网络设备只会为终端设备配置物理上行控制信道(physical uplink control channel，PUCCH)资源，用于传输控制信息。PUCCH容量较小，无法单独完成传输第一信道信息。因此，网络设备还需要为目标终端设备配置PUSCH资源。若目标终端设备的数量为多个，则多个目标终端设备可以利用PUSCH和PUCCH，在分配的UL符号上利用复用模式传输。
可选的，资源指示信息还用于指示确定IRS阵列的控制参数的灵活时隙的数量。具体的，若IRS阵列的数量和/或IRS阵列中的反射单元数量较多，则利用一个灵活时隙资源可能无法完成IRS阵列控制参数的确定过程。那么，网络设备需要配置多个灵活时隙资源用于确定IRS阵列的控制参数。其中，每个灵活时隙中UL资源和DL资源的分配方式如上文所述。各个灵活时隙中UL资源和DL资源的分配结果相同或不相同。
在一些实施例中，网络设备将多个用于确定IRS阵列的控制参数的灵活时隙中，在时域上的第一个灵活时隙中的前i个符号配置为用于传输资源指示信息的DL资源。该资源指示信息中包含灵活时隙的数量和每一灵活时隙中UL资源和DL资源的分配结果。那么，在之后的几个灵活时隙中不必再配置用于传输资源指示信息的DL资源。
示例性的，假设网络设备和终端设备之间的上行级联信道和下行级联信道不具有互易性，网络设备需要确定IRS阵列1和IRS阵列2共两个IRS阵列的控制参数。如图13中(a)或(b)所示，网络设备确定需要分配3个灵活时隙(即时间单元3，时间单元8和时间单元13)资源用于确定IRS阵列1和IRS阵列2的控制参数。其中，3个灵活时隙中UL资源和DL资源的分配结果相同或不相同。
比如，图13中(a)所示，网络设备在第一个灵活时隙(即时间单元3)内和第二个灵活时隙(即时间单元8)内以配置DL资源为主，无需反馈下行信道测量结果，即不用配置用于传输第一信道信息的资源。在第三个灵活时隙(即时间单元13)内配置部分DL资源和部分UL资源，即兼顾下行信道测量和反馈下行信道测量结果。
如此，在第三个灵活时隙完成两个IRS阵列的控制参数的确定过程，避免在确定IRS阵列的控制参数的过程中反复调整上下行传输模式，降低资源利用率。
又比如，图13中(b)所示，网络设备在第一个灵活时隙(即时间单元3)内以配置DL资源为主，无需反馈下行信道测量结果，主要用于对IRS阵列1的下行信道进行测量。将第二个灵活时隙(即时间单元8)内符号编号为6至符号编号为10的符号配置为UL符号，用于反馈IRS阵列1的下行信道测量结果，进而先完成IRS阵列1控制参数的确定过程。第三个灵活时隙(即时间单元13)内配置DL资源和UL资源，用于完成IRS阵列2控制参数的确定过程。
如此，若小区内IRS阵列的数量和/或IRS阵列中的反射单元数量较多，则可以逐步完成IRS阵列控制参数的确定过程。已更新控制参数的IRS阵列或IRS阵列中的控制单元，可以逐步参与到上下行信号的传输过程中，逐步提升信道性能，缩短IRS-MIMO系统的信道设计周期。
进一步的，如图13中(a)或(b)所示的资源配置方式，可以看出，若网络设备确定需要配置多个灵活时隙用于确定IRS阵列控制参数，那么，可以将时域上的第一个灵活时隙中的符号配置为相同的传输资源。如图13中(a)所示，将第一个灵活时隙中的资源全部配置为DL资源。也就是说，在该第一个灵活时隙中只配置第二DL传输资源，未配置第二UL传输资源。即第一个灵活时隙中只包含第三时间段，不包含第四时间段。相应的，也可以将时域上最后一个灵活时隙中的符号均配置为UL传输资源，用于传输下行信道测量结果。在此情况下，在该最后一个灵活时隙中只配置第二UL传输资源，未配置第二DL传输资源。即最后一个灵活时隙中只包含第四时间段，不包含第三时间段。
同样的，在上行级联信道和下行级联信道具有互易性的情况下，若同样需要配置多个灵活时隙用于确定IRS阵列控制参数，那么，网络设备可以在第一个灵活时隙中只配置用于传输资源指示信息的第一DL传输资源，未配置第一UL传输 资源。即第一个灵活时隙中只包含第一时间段，不包含第二时间段。相应的，也可以将时域上最后一个灵活时隙中的符号均配置为DL传输资源，用于传输已确定的IRS阵列控制参数，下行信号和下行数据。在此情况下，在该最后一个灵活时隙中只配置第一DL传输资源，未配置第一UL传输资源。即最后一个灵活时隙中只包含第二时间段，不包含第一时间段。
可选的，网络设备需要为多个终端设备配置一个IRS阵列的控制参数。并且，对于该IRS阵列而言，多个终端设备中的第一终端设备和网络设备之间的第一上行级联信道和第一下行级联信道具有互易性，第二终端设备和网络设备之间的第二级联信道和第二级联信道不具有互易性。那么，可以预配置第一终端设备和第二终端设备的数量阈值。比如数量阈值为80％。
在一些实施例中，第一终端设备数量超过全部终端设备数量的80％。那么，网络设备设置IRS阵列控制参数，使得第一上行级联信道和第一下行级联信道具有互易性，并且使得第二上行级联信道和第二下行级联信道具有互易性。之后，网络设备可以按照上述上行级联信道和下行级联信道具有互易性的场景中介绍的方法，确定资源指示信息。
在另一些实施例中，第二终端设备数量超过全部终端设备数量的80％。那么，网络设备可以按照上述上行级联信道和下行级联信道不具有互易性的场景中介绍的方法，确定资源指示信息。
如此，在多个终端设备的上行级联信道和下行级联信道的互易性不相同，同时需要确定IRS阵列控制参数的场景中，也可以提升信道设计效率。
S802、网络设备向终端设备发送资源指示信息。
可选的，网络设备通过将上述资源指示信息发送给设备终端，使得设备终端明确需要用于确定IRS阵列控制参数的灵活时隙，以及灵活时隙中可以用于UL传输和DL传输的资源。
具体的，网络设备向终端设备发送第一信令，该第一信令包括上述资源指示信息，第一信令包括无线资源控制(radio resource control，RRC)信令、媒体存储控制(media access control，MAC)信令、或物理层信令中的至少一种。使得终端设备可以按照第一信令所指示的资源进行配置灵活时隙中的UL传输资源和DL传输资源。并且，网络设备还可以根据当前终端设备位置，需要使用的IRS阵列，IRS阵列配置等信息，确定不同的资源指示信息，灵活实时的根据终端设备需求指示的灵活时隙中的资源，提高信道设计效率。
需要说明的是，若网络设备根据终端设备发送的请求信息，确定资源指示信息。那么，在步骤S802中网络设备向目标终端设备发送资源指示信息。即仅需要目标终端设备进行下行信道的测量。
S803、终端设备获取资源指示信息。
具体的，终端设备接收网络设备发送的资源指示信息，以完成灵活时隙中的UL资源和DL资源配置。
S804、终端设备基于资源指示信息进行UL传输和DL传输。
可选的，终端设备在上述步骤S803中完成灵活时隙中的UL资源和DL资源的 配置，那么可以基于配置结果进行UL传输和DL传输。根据上述步骤S801可知，在网络设备和终端设备之间的上行级联信道和下行级联信道具有互易性和不具有互易性的两种场景中，资源指示信息不同。那么，如下分别对两种场景中，步骤S804的实现方式进行具体介绍。
在一些实施例中，网络设备和终端设备之间的上行级联信道和下行级联信道具有互易性。如图14所示，步骤S804可以实现为步骤S1401-步骤S1404。
S1401、终端设备利用第一UL传输资源向网络设备发送上行参考信号。
S1402、网络设备根据第一IRS阵列控制参数和上行参考信号，获得第二IRS阵列控制参数。
其中，第一IRS阵列控制参数为IRS阵列的历史控制参数或者为网络设备为IRS阵列预配置的控制参数，对此本申请实施例不做具体限定。
可选的，在上述步骤S1401和步骤S1402中，终端设备接收到的资源指示信息中包含第一指示信息，第一指示信息中除了包括步骤S801中介绍的第一资源配置信息以外，还可以包括第一IRS阵列控制参数。那么，IRS阵列基于第一IRS阵列控制参数反射的上行参考信号。
示例性的，如图11中(a)所示，符号编号为3至符号编号为8的符号为第一UL传输资源。
S1403、网络设备利用第一DL传输资源向IRS阵列发送第二IRS阵列控制参数。
示例性的，如图11中(a)所示，符号编号为9至符号编号为13的符号为第一DL传输资源。
S1404、IRS阵列利用第二IRS阵列控制参数进行UL传输和DL传输。
具体的，IRS阵列完成第二IRS阵列控制参数的设置后，即完成了上行信道和下行信道的设计。IRS阵列可以利用第二IRS阵列控制参数反射接收到的上行信号和下行信号，进而实现UL传输和DL传输。
在一些实施例中，网络设备和终端设备之间的上行级联信道和下行级联信道不具有互易性。如图15所示，步骤S804可以实现为步骤S1501-步骤S1505。
S1501、网络设备利用第二DL传输资源向目标终端设备发送下行信号和下行数据。
示例性的，如图12中(a)所示，符号编号为2至符号编号为8的符号为第二DL传输资源。
S1502、目标终端设备根据下行信号和下行数据，获得第一信道信息。
其中，第一信道信息包括下行直达信道信息和下行级联信道信息。
S1503、目标终端设备利用第二UL资源向网络设备发送第一信道信息。
示例性的，如图12中(a)所示，符号编号为10至符号编号为12的符号为第二UL传输资源。
S1504、网络设备根据第一信道信息，获得第三IRS阵列控制参数。
S1505、IRS阵列利用第三IRS阵列控制参数进行UL传输和DL传输。
具体的，IRS阵列完成第三IRS阵列控制参数的设置后，即完成了上行信道和下行信道的设计。IRS阵列可以利用第三IRS阵列控制参数反射接收到的上行信号 和下行信号，进而实现UL传输和DL传输。
可选的，上述步骤S801中，网络设备在判断网络设备和终端设备之间的上行级联信道和下行级联信道是否具有互易性的过程中，其中存在一种方式为预设上行级联信道和下行级联信道不具有互易性。那么，网络设备在当前场景中，确定资源指示信息，并通过上述步骤S1501-步骤S1505确定第三IRS阵列的控制参数。之后，网络设备根据第三IRS阵列控制参数，再次确定上行级联信道和下行级联信道是否具有互易性。若具有互易性，则后续再需要确定IRS阵列控制参数时，网络设备按照上述具有互易性的场景中介绍的方法，确定资源指示信息。否则，按照上述不具有互易性的场景中介绍的方法，确定资源指示信息。
由此，本申请提供的一种资源分配方法，能够利用灵活时隙资源，确定IRS阵列的控制参数，不会对上行数据和下行数据的传输产生影响。并且不会降低现有帧结构中的资源利用率。
