Description

一种信号传输方法和通信装置 技术领域
本申请涉及无线通信领域，并且更具体地，涉及一种信号传输方法和通信装置。
背景技术
在某些通信系统中，例如，第五代(5th generation，5G)通信系统的新无线接入技术(new radio access technology，NR)中，为了在高频场景下对抗路径损耗，发送端和接收端可分别通过波束赋形(beamforming)来获得增益，波束可以通过天线面板接收或发送。由于波束具有一定的空间指向性，为了满足广域覆盖，终端设备可能配置多个天线面板(antenna panel)，天线面板的使用主要通过网络设备下发信令管理和控制。
然而天线面板的使用受到终端设备的耗电情况、时延以及硬件处理能力等多方面约束。由于网络设备对于终端设备的面板的状态并不感知，当网络设备调度的天线面板状态与终端设备状态不匹配时，会导致互通问题。因此，实现对天线面板控制和管理的互通互联是亟需解决的问题。

具体实施方式
下面将结合附图，对本申请中的技术方案进行描述。
本申请实施例的技术方案可以应用于各种通信系统，例如：长期演进(long term evolution，LTE)系统、LTE频分双工(frequency division duplex，FDD)系统、LTE时分双工(time division duplex，TDD)、通用移动通信系统(universal mobile telecommunication system，UMTS)。随着通信系统的不断发展，本申请的技术方案可应用于第五代(5th generation，5G)系统或新无线(new radio，NR)，还可应用于未来网络，如6G系统甚至未来系统；或者还可用于设备到设备(device to device，D2D)系统，机器到机器(machine to machine，M2M)系统等等。
应理解，该通信系统中的网络设备可以是任意一种具有无线收发功能的设备或可设置于该设备的芯片，该设备包括但不限于：演进型节点B(evolved Node B，eNB)、无线网络控制器(Radio Network Controller，RNC)、节点B(Node B，NB)、基站控制器(Base Station Controller，BSC)、基站收发台(Base Transceiver Station，BTS)、家庭基站(例如，Home evolved NodeB，或Home Node B，HNB)、基带单元(BaseBand Unit，BBU)，无线保真(Wireless Fidelity，WIFI)系统中的接入点(Access Point，AP)、无线中继节点、无线回传节点、传输点(transmission point，TP)或者发送接收点(TRP)等，还可以为5G、6G甚至未来系统中使用的设备，如NR，系统中的gNB，或，传输点(TRP或TP)，5G系统中的基站的一个或一组(包括多个天线面板)天线面板，或者，还可以为构成gNB或传输点的网络节点，如基带单元(BBU)，或，分布式单元(distributed unit，DU)，或微微基站(Picocell)，或毫微微基站(Femtocell)，或，车联网(vehicle to everything，V2X)或者智能驾驶场景中的路侧单元(road side unit，RSU)等。
在一些部署中，gNB可以包括集中式单元(centralized unit，CU)和DU。gNB还可以包括射频单元(radio unit，RU)。CU实现gNB的部分功能，DU实现gNB的部分功能，比如，CU实现无线资源控制(radio resource control，RRC)层，分组数据汇聚层协议(packet data convergence protocol，PDCP)层的功能，DU实现无线链路控制(radio link control，RLC)层、媒体接入控制(media access control，MAC)层和物理层(physical layer，PHY)的功能。由于RRC层的信息最终会变成PHY层的信息，或者，由PHY层的信息转变而来，因而，在这种架构下，高层信令，如RRC层信令或PHCP层信令，也可以认为是由DU发送的，或者，由DU+RU发送的。可以理解的是，网络设备可以为CU节点、或DU节点、或包括CU节点和DU节点的设备。此外，CU可以划分为接入网RAN中的网络设备，也可以将CU划分为核心网CN中的网络设备，在此不做限制。

此外，为了便于理解本申请实施例，作出以下几点说明。
第一，在本申请实施例中，“指示”可以包括直接指示和间接指示，也可以包括显式指示和隐式指示。将某一信息(如下文所述的配置信息)所指示的信息称为待指示信息，则具体实现过程中，对待指示信息进行指示的方式有很多种，例如但不限于，可以直接指示待指示信息，如待指示信息本身或者该待指示信息的索引等。也可以通过指示其他信息来间接指示待指示信息，其中该其他信息与待指示信息之间存在关联关系。还可以仅仅指示待指示信息的一部分，而待指示信息的其他部分则是已知的或者提前约定的。例如，还可以借助预先约定(例如协议规定)的各个信息的排列顺序来实现对特定信息的指示，从而在一定程度上降低指示开销。
第二，在下文示出的实施例中，部分场景以无线通信网络中NR网络的场景为例进行说明，应当指出的是，本申请公开的实施例中的方案还可以应用于其他无线通信网络中，相应的名称也可以用其他无线通信网络中的对应功能的名称进行替代。
第三，在下文示出的实施例中，第一、第二以及各种数字编号仅为描述方便进行的区分。在下文示出的实施例中，对于一种技术特征，通过“第一”、“第二”、“第三”等区分该种技术特征中的技术特征，该“第一”、“第二”、“第三”描述的技术特征间无先后顺序或者大小顺序。并不用来限制本申请实施例的范围。例如，区分不同的指示信息、不同的波束、不同的面板等。
第四，“至少一个”是指一个或者多个，“多个”是指两个或两个以上。“和/或”，描述关联对象的关联关系，表示可以存在三种关系，例如，A和/或B，可以表示：单独存在A，同时存在A和B，单独存在B的情况，其中A，B可以是单数或者复数。字符“/”一般表示前后关联对象是一种“或”的关系。“以下至少一项(个)”或其类似表达，是指的这些项中的任意组合，包括单项(个)或复数项(个)的任意组合。例如，a、b和c中的至少一项(个)，可以表示：a，或b，或c，或a和b，或a和c，或b和c，或a、b和c，其中a，b，c可以是单个，也可以是多个。
第五，本申请公开的实施例将围绕包括多个设备、组件、模块等的系统来呈现本申请的各个方面、实施例或特征。应当理解和明白的是，各个系统可以包括另外的设备、组件、模块等，并且/或者可以并不包括结合附图讨论的所有设备、组件、模块等。此外，还可以使用这些方案的组合。
第六，本申请公开的实施例中，“的(of)”，“相应的(relevant)”和“对应的(corresponding)”有时可以混用，应当指出的是，在不强调其区别时，其所要表达的含义是一致的。
第七，在下文示出的实施例中，“预定义”可以为通过协议定义，可以通过在设备(例如，包括终端设备和网络设备)中预先保存相应的代码、表格或其他可用于指示相关信息的方式来实现，本申请对于其具体的实现方式不做限定。

形成波束的技术可以是波束赋形技术或者其他技术。例如，波束赋形技术具体可以为数字波束赋形技术、模拟波束赋形技术或者混合数字/模拟波束赋形技术等。发射波束可以是指信号经天线发射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。
在NR协议中，波束例如可以是空间滤波器(spatial filter)。但应理解，本申请并不排除在未来的协议中定义其他的术语来表示相同或相似的含义的可能。
2、天线面板
天线面板：简称面板(panel)。每个天线面板可以配置一个或多个接收波束，以及一个或多个发射波束。因此，天线面板也可以理解为波束或波束组。通信设备，如终端设备或网络设备，可以通过天线面板上的接收波束接收信号，也可以通过天线面板上的发射波束发射信号。
在NR标准讨论过程中，天线面板也可以认为是一个包含多个物理天线映射的逻辑实体。
在本申请实施例中，面板例如可以由上行参考信号的资源来区分。该上行参考信号例如可以是探测参考信号(sounding reference，SRS)。作为示例而非限定，一个天线面板可以对应于一个SRS资源集(resource set)标识(idendifier，ID)。也就是说，一个SRS resource set ID可用于指示一个面板。
面板也可以由面板ID或面板索引来区分。例如，可以通过传输配置指示(transmission configuration indicator，TCI)来指示面板ID。
一示例，一个天线面板可以对应于一个SRS resource set ID，也就是说，一个SRS resource set ID可用于指示一个天线面板。或者，天线面板的ID可以直接与参考信号资源或参考信号资源集相关联。或者，天线面板的ID可以为目标参考信号资源或参考信号资源集分配的。或者，可以在空间关系(spatial relation)信息中额外配置天线面板的ID。
此外，针对单天线面板收发，终端设备实现简单，且功耗、热散都较低，面板的管理也较简单；但是激活和切换面板时需要预留一段时间(如2-3ms)，降低系统效率；对天线面板同时收发，健壮系统鲁棒性，可以提高系统效率；但是，增加终端设备实现复杂度，且会带来较大的功耗和热散问题。
应理解，关于天线面板的相关内容，仅是便于理解作的说明，其不对本申请实施例的保护范围造成限定。本申请并不排除在已有或未来的协议中定义其它能够实现相同或相似功能的术语的可能。例如，在未来协议中，当对天线面板的ID作了改进后，仍适用于本申请实施例。
3、同时接收信号或信道的标识(同收标识)、同时发送信号或信道的标识(同发标识)
同时接收信号或信道的标识、同时发送信号或信道标识，多个面板具备同时接收信号或信道的能力，以及多个天线面板具备同时发送信号或信道的能力。通过标识来标记面板是否具备同时接收信号或信道的能力，或，通过标识来标记面板是否具备同时发送信号或信道的能力， 或，通过状态标识来标记面板是否具备同时接收信号或信道的状态，或，通过状态标识来标记面板是否具备同时发送信号或信道的状态。
在本申请实施例中，信号泛指在上行物理信道上发送的各种上/下行参考信号以及数据。例如但不限于，上行信号可以包括探测参考信号(sounding reference signal，SRS)、PUCCH解调参考信号(de-modulation reference signal，DMRS)、PUSCH DMRS、上行相位噪声跟踪信号(phase noise tracking reference signal，PTRS)等，上行信号还可以是数据信号。下行信号可以包括主同步信号(primary synchronization signal，PSS)、辅同步信号(secondary synchronization signal，SSS)、PDCCH DMRS、PDSCH DMRS、下行PTRS、信道状态信息参考信号(channel status information reference signal，CSI-RS)、小区信号(cell reference signal，CRS)、时域或频域跟踪参考信号(tracking reference signal，TRS)、定位参考信号(positioning reference signal，PRS)等，下行信号还可以是数据信号。
在本申请实施例中，信道包括上行物理信道和/或下行物理信道。例如但不限于，上行物理信道可以包括随机接入信道(random access channel，RACH)、物理上行控制信道(physical uplink control channel，PUCCH)、物理上行共享信道(physical uplink shared channel，PUSCH)等。下行物理信道可以包括物理广播信道(physical broadcast channel，PBCH)、物理下行控制信道(physical downlink control channel，PDCCH)、物理下行共享信道(physical downlink shared channel，PDSCH)等。
应理解，上文中列举的信号以及信道仅为示例性说明，不应对本申请构成任何限定，本申请并不排除在未来的协议中定义其他信号或信道来实现相同或相似功能的可能。
下文中涉及“同时接收信号或信道的标识”以及“同时接收信号或信道的状态标识”用“同收标识”来表达，涉及“同时发送信号或信道标识”以及“同时发送信号或信道的状态标识”用“同发标识”来表达。
4、时间、时刻、时长：
时间、时刻、时长，例如但不限于，可以是符号、帧、子帧、半帧、系统帧、时隙slot、迷你时隙、无线帧或传输时间间隔(Transmission time interval，TTI)等，本发明实施例并不限定。
为便于理解本申请实施例，下面以图1示出的通信系统为例详细说明适用于本申请实施例提供的信号传输方法的通信系统。图1示出了适用于本申请实施例的信号传输方法的通信系统100的示意图。如图1所示，该通信系统100可以包括至少一个终端设备，如图1中所示的终端设备101，也可以为配置于该终端设备中的芯片；该通信系统100还可以包括至少一个网络设备，如图1中所示的网络设备#1 102或网络设备#2 103，也可以为配置于该网络设备中的芯片。

以下，不失一般性，以终端设备与网络设备之间的交互过程为例详细说明本申请实施例提供的信号传输方法。
目前，为了满足广域覆盖，终端设备可能配置多个天线面板(antenna panel)，天线面板的使用主要通过网络设备下发信令管理和控制。然而天线面板的使用受到终端的耗电情况、散热情况、时延以及硬件处理能力等多方面约束。由于网络设备对于终端设备的面板的状态并不感知，当网络设备调度的天线面板状态与终端设备状态不匹配时，会导致对天线面板状态的互通问题。因此，实现对天线面板控制和管理的互通互联是亟需解决的问题。
有鉴于此，本申请提供一种信号传输方法，能够更好的协调网络设备和终端设备之间对天线面板的管理和控制，实现对天线面板操作、状态管理和控制的互通互联，从而有利于提高系统的传输性能。
以下结合图2至图5阐述本申请实施例提供的信号传输方法。需要说明的是，本申请提供的信号传输方法可以应用于无线通信系统中，例如，图1中所示的通信系统100中。处于通信系统中的通信装置之间可具有无线通信连接关系。例如，图1中所示的终端设备101分别可以与网络设备#1 102和网络设备#2 103之间具有无线通信连接关系，本申请对此不作限定。

可选的，上述模式一至模式四中涉及的起始时刻，可以以接收到触发panel状态的DCI为起始，或以接收到触发panel状态的MAC CE之后的3ms为起始，或在信令内通过字段指示生效时间。
可以理解的，上述模式一至模式四可以有不同的组合形式，组合后可以形成不同的状态模式。例如模式二+模式三，也就是说，在一段时间内通过模式二来指示panel的状态信息，在另一段时间内通过模式三来指示panel的状态信息。也可以是模式二+模式四组合，也可以是模式二+模式三+模式四组合，也可以是模式一+模式二+模式一组合，本申请实施例对此不作限制，基于模式一至模式四所作出的任何组合，均在本申请实施例保护的范围。
在另一种可能的实施方式中，第一信息为天线面板当前的状态信息和目标时间的状态信息。即，网络设备通过第一请求信令请求天线面板当前的状态信息和目标时间的状态信息。也就是说，基于上述表1和表2，第一请求信令除了请求天线面板当前的状态信息，还请求在目标时间时天线面板的状态信息。终端设备在应答信令中上报天线面板当前的状态信息，以及基于目标时刻的状态信息的判断上报目标时刻的状态信息。
可选的，第一请求信令的应答信令包括肯定应答信息，或否定应答信息。
在上述应答信令中，可以通过1个比特位来指示应答信令中包括的肯定应答信息和/或否定应答信息。示例性的，1个比特位有0和1两种状态，当比特位为0时，可以用来指示肯定应答信息；当比特位为1时，可以用来指示否定应答信息。也可以为，比特位为1时，用来指示肯定应答信息；比特位为0时，可以用来指示否定应答信息。如上肯定应答信息和/或否定应答信息的指示方式仅为示例，在不同的情况下，可以有不同的指示方式，本申请实施例对此不作限定。
可选的，上述第一信息与第二信息相同。示例性的，当第一请求信令的应答信令包括肯定应答信息时，也就是说，终端设备的天线面板满足第一请求信令请求的第一信息，发送肯定应答信息。此时，第一信息与第二信息相同。
可选的，上述第一信息与第二信息不同。示例性的，当第一请求信令的应答信令中包括否定应答信息时，也就是说，终端设备的天线面板不能够满足第一请求信令请求的第一信息，发 送否定应答信息，在否定应答信息中可以携带当前天线面板支持的第二信息。此时，第一信息与第二信息不同。当第一信息和第二信息不同时，可以有不同的实施方式。如实施方式一至实施方式三。
实施方式一
在一种可能的实施方式中，第一信息可以是第二信息的子集。示例性的，第一信息为同收的标识，第二信息为同收的标识和面板状态模式索引。也就是说，第一请求信令请求同收的标识，此时天线面板不但可以上报同收的标识还可以上报面板状态模式索引，那么在应答信令中上报同收的标识和面板状态模式索引。
实施方式二
在另一种可能的实施方式中，第二信息可以是第一信息的子集。示例性的，第一信息为同收的标识和面板状态模式索引，第二信息为同收的标识。也就是说，第一请求信令请求同收的标识和面板状态模式索引，此时天线面板只能支持上报同收的标识，那么在应答信令中只上报同收的标识。
实施方式三
在另一种可能的实施方式中，第一信息可以与第二信息没有交集。示例性的，第一信息为同收的标识，第二信息为面板状态模式索引。也就是说，第一请求信令请求同收的标识，此时天线面板不支持上报同收的标识，只支持上报面板状态模式索引，则在应答信令中上报面板状态模式索引。
可选的，应答信令还包括第二信息。
可以理解的，终端设备发送的肯定应答信息或否定应答信息和第二信息可以在同一信令中发送，也可以在不同的信令中发送。本申请实施例对此不作限定。
步骤230，终端设备接收第二请求信令，其中，第二请求信令用于指示终端设备执行相关操作。对应地，网络设备发送第二请求信令，其中，第二请求信令用于指示终端设备执行相关操作。
可选的，第二请求信令可以复用已有的信令来请求获得天线面板的信息，也可以是新增的信令，通过新增的信令来请求获得天线面板的信息。具体实施方式参见步骤210，此处不再赘述。
步骤240，终端设备根据第二请求信令执行第二操作。
可选的，终端设备根据第二请求信令执行相关操作，其中，相关操作包括以下至少一项：面板激活、面板去激活、面板测量、面板测量结果上报、面板切换、面板状态上报、面板传输。
可见，在图2所示的方法中，网络设备通过请求信令请求获得panel状态，终端设备根据当前panel状态，或，目标时间panel状态，将状态信息上报给网络设备，能够更好的协调网络设备和终端设备之间对天线面板的管理和控制，实现对天线面板状态管理和控制的互通互联，从而有利于提高系统的传输性能。
在上述图2所示的实施例中，网络设备发送第一请求信令，终端设备发送响应第一请求信令的应答信令，通过该应答机制，实现对天线面板状态管理和控制的互通互联。在下述图3所示的实施例中，终端设备可以根据网络设备发送的请求信令上报网络设备请求的信息，或，网络设备可以不发送第一请求信令，终端设备主动上报天线面板相关的信息。
请参阅图3，图3是从设备交互的角度示出的本申请实施例提供的信号传输方法300的示意性流程图。如图3所示，图3中示出的方法300可以包括步骤310至步骤320，下面结合附图对方法300中的各步骤做详细说明。
步骤310，终端设备接收第一请求信令，第一请求信令用于请求第一信息，该第一信息为与天线面板相关的信息。对应地，网络设备向终端设备发送第一请求信令，第一请求信令用于请求第一信息，该第一信息为与天线面板相关的信息。
可选的，第一信息包括以下至少一项：面板索引、面板组索引、面板或面板组的激活状态、面板或面板组的去激活状态、同时接收信号或信道的多个面板的标识、同时接收信号或信道的多个面板的状态标识、同时发送信号或信道的多个面板的标识、同时发送信号或信道的多个面板的状态标识、同时接收信号或信道的一个或多个面板组的标识、同时接收信号或信道的一个或多个面板组的状态标识、同时发送信号或信道的一个或多个面板组的标识、同时发送信号或信道的一个或多个面板组的状态标识、面板和/或面板组之间的切换时延、面板状态模式、面板状态模式索引、面板激活持续时间、面板激活周期、面板激活开始/结束的时间、面板激活时间百分比、面板激活时间偏置。

步骤320，终端设备向网络设备发送第一信息，其中，第一信息为与天线面板相关的信息。
可以理解的，在图3所示的方法中，步骤310可以为可选的步骤。此时，步骤320为，终端设备向网络设备发送第一信息，该第一信息为终端设备向网络设备上报的天线面板的状态信息。也就是说，此时不需要第一请求信令，终端设备向网络设备主动上报当前和/或目标时间天线面板的状态信息。
可选的，终端设备向网络设备上报的天线面板的状态信息，上报的形式为周期模式、非周期模式、半持续模式或事件触发的模式。本申请实施例对比不作限定。
