Description

一种参考信号的通信方法、装置及系统 技术领域
本申请涉及通信技术领域，尤其涉及一种参考信号的通信方法、装置及系统。
背景技术
为了提升传输性能，基站和终端设备的通信可以借助多天线技术，朝向特定空间方向(空间信道)发送和接收信号。由于不同空间方向上的增益不同，在空间上可以根据增益大小使用波束形状(beam pattern)描述，简称波束。以下行通信为例，基站朝向特定方向发送，终端设备朝向特定方向接收，只有当发送和接收的方向对齐时，才能实现比较高的通信效率。按照第三代合作伙伴计划(3rd generation partnership project，3GPP)R15的协议框架，基站与终端设备之间的波束对准，需要借助于上行或下行参考信号，以及相应的信道信息反馈，例如预编码向量、信道质量指示(channel quality indicator，CQI)、预编码矩阵索引(precoding matrix indicator，PMI)、秩索引(rank index，RI)等。基站获得信道状态信息(channel state information，CSI)信息之后，可以根据信道质量调度调制与编码策略(modulation and coding scheme，MCS)、分配资源块(resource block，RB)以及进行波束赋型，提高速率。其中，下行参考信号主要包括同步/广播信号块(synchronization signal/Physical broadcast channel block，SSB)、信道状态信息参考信号(channel state information reference signal,CSI-RS)、跟踪参考信号(tracking reference signal，TRS)。
在当前协议的随机接入过程中，基于SSB确定上行和下行的接收波束和发送波束。但是，当前协议支持的SSB个数比较少，因此往往以比较宽的波束来实现整个小区的覆盖，导致增益较低。此外，当前协议基于CSI-RS的波束对准需要在随机接入之后，增加了CSI-RS的资源配置开销，导致通信性能不高。

下面介绍与本申请相关的关键术语：
随机接入(random access，RA)：在长期演进(long term evolution，LTE)或第五代移动通信技术(5-Generation，5G)有接入控制的通信系统中，用于未接入网络的终端设备与网络设备建立连接的信息交互机制。由于随机接入过程由随机接入信道(random access channel，RACH)承载，协议和口语中也常将RA和RACH混用。分为基于竞争的随机接入和非竞争的随机接入。基于竞争的随机接入通常分为4步，每一步对应一个消息，包括消息1、消息2、消息3、消息4，分别承载不同的信令或者信息。基于非竞争的随机接入只有前2步。另外，为了降低4步基于竞争的随机接入的接入时间，可以进行2步随机接入。在2步随机接入中，由消息A和消息B两个组成，其中，消息A中包括前导和第一个数据信息(例如类似4步随机接入中的消息1和消息3)，消息B中包括竞争解决以及上行调度(例如类似4步随机接入中的消息2和消息4)。
随机接入机会：随机接入机会又称为随机接入资源(RACH resource)、随机接入时机(RACH occasion/RACH transmission occasion/RACH opportunity/RACH chance，RO)，是指用于承载一个或者多个随机接入前导的时间、频率资源。逻辑上，一个随机接入机 会用于承载物理随机接入信道(physical random access channel，PRACH)的信息/信号。有时也等效被称为物理随机接入机会(PRACH occasion，RO)、物理随机接入资源(PRACH resource)。
消息1(message 1，Msg1)：即随机接入前导(preamble或sequence)，通过物理随机接入信道(physical random access channel，PRACH)承载。通常用于终端设备与网络设备之间发起连接请求、切换请求、同步请求、调度请求。
消息2(message 2，Msg2)：也称为随机接入响应(random access response，RAR)消息。是网络侧对接收到的消息1的回复，一个消息2中可以回复多个Msg1。对于单个随机接入前导来说，在媒体访问控制(media access control，MAC)具有特定的随机接入响应消息。而基站往往将一个随机接入机会上检测到的所有随机接入前导的响应，封装到一起，组成一个Msg2。即终端设备发送随机接入前导后，则在对应的消息2中搜寻自己发送的随机接入前导对应的随机接入响应消息，且忽略针对其他随机接入前导的响应消息。
如果网络侧接收到了消息1，则将以下至少一个信息封装成一个随机接入响应(random access response，RAR)发送：消息1的索引(random access preamble identity，RAPID)、上行调度授权(uplink grant)、时间提前(timing advance)、临时小区-无线网络临时标识(temporary cell radio network temporary identity，TC-RNTI)等。网络侧可以在同一个Msg2里面，同时针对多个Msg1进行响应，即包含多个RAR。
消息3(message 3，Msg3)：也称为第一次上行调度传输，是由消息2中的上行授权(UL grant)调度传输，或者TC-RNTI加扰的下行控制信息(downlink control information，DCI)调度的重传。Msg3传输内容为高层消息，例如连接建立请求消息(具体可能是发起连接请求用户的标识信息)。该消息的作用是用于竞争解决，如果多个不同设备使用相同Msg1进行随机接入，通过Msg3和Msg4可以共同确定是否有冲突。消息3的传输有重传和功率控制，即调度初传或者重传的UL grant中，有功率控制信息。
消息4(message 4，Msg4)：用于竞争解决。通常包含消息3中携带的CCCH公共控制信道(common control channel，CCCH)服务数据单元(service data unit，SDU)，如果终端设备在消息4中检测到自己发送的CCCH SDU，则认为竞争随机接入成功，继续进行接下来的通信过程。消息4有重传，即有相应的物理上行控制信道(physical uplink control channel，PUCCH)传输反馈信息。例如是否成功检测到消息4，终端设备在PUCCH发送反馈信息有功率控制。
发送功率，也称为输出功率。可以定义为在给定时间和/或周期内，在所支持的全部或者部分频率或者频段或者带宽上测量得到的输出功率。例如测量的时间至少为1ms，再例如测量的时间至少为与某个子载波间隔对应的一个时隙。在一种实施例中，使用测量的时间为至少1ms所获取的功率。
预编码和码本：采用多天技术(multiple input multiple output，MIMO)技术增加系统容量，提升吞吐率。数学表达式为y＝Hx+n，其中y为接收信号，H为MIMO信道，x为发送信号，n为噪声。在具有多天线的通信系统中，多个发送天线的信号会叠加到任意一个接收天线上，因此发送端发送信号的方法影响到系统的性能，而且在接收端恢复 发送信号时，往往比较复杂。在这个背景下，一方面，预编码(precoding)用于减少系统开销，最大提升MIMO的系统容量。另一方面用于降低接收机消除信道间影响实现的复杂度。此时，数学表达为y＝HPx+n，P为预编码矩阵(或向量)。为了简化实现复杂度，P为可以从一个预定义的矩阵(或向量)集合中选取，该集合被称为码本(codebook)，该方法也被称为基于码本的发送方法。如果发送端可以获知H的全部信息，则P可以在发送端自行获取，该方法也被称为非码本的发送方法(Non-codebook，NCB)。
预编码有开环或者闭环两种方式。在开环方式下，发送端自行确定发送的预编码码本。在闭环方式下，发送端基于接收端反馈信息或者指示信息，确定发送的预编码码本。
调制、解调：调制就是对信号源的信息进行处理加到载波上，使其变为适合于信道传输的形式的过程。不同的模式就对应于不同的调制方法，例如多载波调制还是单载波调制，正交振幅调制(quadrature amplitude modulation，QAM)、脉冲振幅调制(pulse amplitude modulation、PAM)、相移键控(phase shift keying，PSK)调制、振幅键控(amplitude shift keying，ASK)调制等等。解调即调制的逆过程，从信号中恢复原始数据比特或符号。解调有时也可以称为检测。
正交频分复用(orthogonal frequency division multiplexing，OFDM)：是一种频分复用的多载波传输波形，参与复用的各路信号(也称为各路载波/子载波)是正交的。OFDM技术是通过串/并转换将高速的数据流变成多路并行的低速数据流，再将它们分配到若干个不同频率的子载波上传输。OFDM技术利用了相互正交的子载波，从而子载波的频谱是重叠的。传统的FDM多载波调制系统中子载波间需要保护间隔，与之相比，OFDM技术大大的提高了频谱利用率。
离散傅里叶变换扩频正交频分复用(discrete fourier transformation spreading OFDM，DFT-s-OFDM)：是基于OFDM的一种衍生技术。直观上看，是将每个用户所使用的子载波进行DFT处理，由时域转换到频域，然后将各用户的频域信号进行OFDM调制(即，输入到IFFT模块)，这样各用户的信号又一起被转换到时域并发送。经过DFT的改进，信号由频域信号(传统OFDM)又回到了时域信号(和单载波系统相同)。由于在该技术中，调制后的信号波形类似于单载波，也有人将其看作一种单载波技术，虽然它是从OFDM技术演变而来的。
参考信号(reference signal，RS)：又称为解调参考信号(demodulation reference signal,DMRS)、信道状态信息参考信号(channel state information reference signal,CSI-RS)、相位跟踪参考信号(phase tracking reference signal，PTRS)、信道探测参考信号(sounding reference signal,SRS)等。是指发送端或接收端已知或按照预定的规则可以推断：信号所在的时间和频率位置，以及时间和频率上承载的信号/符号。参考信号用于获取信号在传输中所受外界(例如，空间信道、器件非理想性)影响的已知信号，一般用于进行信道估计、辅助信号解调、检测。例如DMRS和CSI-RS用于获取信道信息，PTRS用于获取相位变化信息。
资源块(resource block，RB)：也称为物理资源块(physical resource block)，是基于OFDM的通信系统中频率资源的基本单位。一个资源块一般由N个资源元素(resource element，RE)组成，一个资源元素也称为一个子载波。其中，N一般为12。若干个资 源块组成一个资源块组(resource block group，RBG)，或者也称为物理资源块组。一般情况下，以资源块或资源块组为单位进行预编码，进行预编码发送的基本单位也被称为预编码资源块组(precoding resource block group，PRG))。一个预编码资源组可以不小于一个资源块组。
层(Layer)：对1个或2个码字进行加扰(scrambling)和调制(modulation)之后得到的复数符号(调制符号)进行层映射后，会映射到一个或多个传输层(transmission layer，通常也称为layer)。传输层通常被映射到天线端口，因此也被称为天线端口。每层对应一条有效的数据流。传输层的个数，即层数被称为“传输阶”或“传输秩(rank)”。传输秩是可以动态变化的。层数必须小于或等于发射天线端口个数和接收天线端口个数二者的最小值，即“层数≤min(发射天线端口数，接收天线端口数)”。在NR的上行通信中，一般情况下传输层数小于或者等于天线端口数，而其中数据的天线端口数与配置的SRS端口数一致。
准共址(quasi co-location，QCL)：QCL关系用于表示多个资源之间具有一个或多个相同或者相类似的通信特征，对于具有准共址关系的多个资源，可以采用相同或者类似的通信配置。具体的，具有QCL关系的天线端口对应的信号中具有相同的参数，或者，一个天线端口的参数(也可以称为QCL参数)可以用于确定与该天线端口具有QCL关系的另一个天线端口的参数，或者，两个天线端口具有相同的参数，或者，两个天线端口间的参数差小于某阈值。其中，所述参数可以包括以下一项或多项：时延扩展(delay spread)，多普勒扩展(doppler spread)，多普勒频移(doppler shift)，平均时延(average delay)，平均增益，空间接收参数(spatial Rx parameters)。其中，空间接收参数可以包括以下的一项或多项：到达角(angle of arrival，AOA)、平均AOA、AOA扩展、离开角(angle of departure，AOD)、平均离开角AOD、AOD扩展、接收天线空间相关性参数、发送天线空间相关性参数、发射波束、接收波束以及资源标识。
本申请实施例中以UE作为终端设备，以基站作为网络设备，对本申请的技术方案进行说明，后文不再赘述。
如图2所示，图2是一种随机接入过程的流程图，主要包括如下步骤：
S201，基站以广播方式发送在特定的位置发送同步信号和系统信息。在NR中，基站发送的同步信号称为SSB，SSB和系统信息由基站根据配置周期性发送。同步信号块SSB的时域位置由高层信令指示，可以根据同步信号块SSB的时域位置确定实际发送的SSB或发送的SSB的数量。例如，可以根据半个系统帧(如5ms)内发送的SSB的索引，获取基站在半个系统帧时间内发送的SSB的数量(一般指时域的数量，在频域可以有更多)。
UE开机之后或者需要重新接入网络时，扫描基站的同步信号，进行下行时间和频率同步，同时从SSB中获得主系统信息块(master information block，MIB)。MIB可以指示1号系统信息块(system information block 1，SIB1)对应的控制信道(physical downlink control channel，PDCCH)的搜索空间，也称为公共搜索空间(common search space，CSS)和控制资源集信息(control resource set，CORESET)。然后根据SIB1关联的PDCCH CSS和CORESET，接收1号系统信息块，其中，1号系统信息块携带有随 机接入资源的配置信息。
S202，UE根据随机接入资源配置信息以及同步到的SSB，选择该SSB关联的随机接入资源，该随机接入资源包括时间、频率资源和码域资源(随机接入前导码preamble)，并使用该随机接入资源发送随机接入信号，又称为消息1(Msg1)。在NR中，通过SSB与随机接入资源之间的关联，使得基站检测到随机接入前导码后，就可以获取发送消息2(Msg2)和/或的下行波束。
如图3所示，图3是一种SSB与随机接入机会或前导关联关系的示意图。左图为多个SSB关联到同一个随机接入机会，通过随机接入前导区分SSB；右图为一个SSB关联到多个随机接入机会。
S203，基站接收到UE发送的消息1之后，根据用户发送的preamble，估计UE的定时提前量，并向用户回复消息2(Msg2)，消息2中包括UE用于发送消息3(Msg3)进行冲突解决的时频资源位置、调制编码方式等配置信息。随机接入响应(random access response，RAR)在物理层和MAC层都可以称为消息2。但是，在物理层，RAR一般也被称为与具体某个随机接入前导相对应的响应消息。而在MAC层，RAR是针对某个随机接入机会或者多个随机接入机会、基站检测到的所有随机接入前导响应消息的组合，以MAC数据单元形式组包。
S204，UE接收到消息2之后，根据消息2中配置，在对应时频资源发送消息3。
S205，基站接收到消息3之后，向UE回复消息4(Msg4)，指示UE成功接入基站。
其中，Msg1到Msg4的过程一般被称为4-step的随机接入过程。此外，Msg1中发送随机接入前导码，还可以应用到基于非竞争的随机接入和2-step随机接入中。只不过非竞争的随机接入只包括Msg1和Msg2。另外，还有一种2-step随机接入，由消息A和消息B两个组成。其中，消息A中包括随机接入前导码的发送和第一个数据信息(例如类似4-step随机接入中的消息1和消息3)，消息B中包括竞争解决和上行调度(例如类似4-step随机接入中的消息2和消息4)。Msg1、Msg3、Msg4可以在发送失败后进行重新传输。
如图4所示，图4是一种基于CSI-RS的下行波束管理的流程图，主要包括如下步骤：
S401，当UE接入基站，详细接入过程可以参考图2所示的步骤。
S402，UE上报SSB的索引，从而供基站基于该SSB配置相应的CSI-RS资源。需要注意的是，此处上报的SSB的索引，也可以是S202利用随机接入前导与SSB的关联关系确定的SSB的索引，或者采取S202类似方式上报。
S403，基站通过无线资源控制(radio resource control，RRC)发送CSI-RS资源配置。
S404，基站发送CSI-RS，UE进行测量。例如，基站可以配置CSI-RS资源进行重复发送，方便UE进行波束扫描，从而确定UE最优的接收波束。基站也可以配置CSI-RS相同的接收信息，基站采取不同的发送波束发送CSI-RS，从而确定基站最优的发送波束。
S405，基站基于UE上报的测量信息，进行相关调度处理，例如上行或者下行数据传输。
其中，NR中用于波束管理的CSI-RS为非零功率(non-zero power，NZP)的CSI-RS。 CSI-RS的主要配置特性如表1所示。
Figure PCTCN2020133413-appb-000001
表1
第一，CSI-RS资源配置的主要参数包括：资源映射配置(resource mapping)、PDSCH RE相对于NZP CSI-RS RE的功率偏移(power control offset)、NZP CSI-RS RE相对于SS RE的功率偏移(power control offset SS)、扰码ID(scrambling ID)、周期和偏移配置(periodicity and offset)和QCL配置。
其中，资源映射配置主要包括：时域资源配置，频域资源配置，码分组配置，密度，频域带宽等。
例如，如表1所示，资源参数配置为：Row1＝[b 3,…,b 0]＝[0010]，k i＝f(i)，可得：f(i)＝[1]，k 0＝1。Port数为1，所以N＝1；密度ρ为3；CDM-Type为No CDM，所以L＝1；s＝0…L-1＝0，j＝0，发送的端口具体为P＝3000+s+jL。
Figure PCTCN2020133413-appb-000002
表2
其中，图5是一种资源映射方式的示意图。因为ρ＝3，所以CSI-RS每1/3RB(4个RE)重复一次，假设基站通过频域分配(frequency domain allocation)配置的Row1＝[b 3,…,b 0]＝[0010]和CDM-Type为No CDM，所以CSI-RS出现在第1/5/9个RE上。
第二，生成CSI-RS的序列的关键信息包括：序列的生成多项式初始化参数c init与无线帧中的时隙号

时隙中的OFDM符号数目

时隙中的OFDM符号索引l、加扰索引n ID等参数有关。其中，加扰索引由上层参数配置。
对于当前协议，在随机接入过程中，基于SSB确定上行和下行的接收波束和发送波束。但是，当前协议支持的SSB个数比较少，因此往往以比较宽的波束来实现整个小区的覆盖，导致增益较低。此外，当前协议基于CSI-RS的波束对准需要在随机接入之后，配置和实现复杂，终端设备接入时延较高、通信性能不高。为了解决上述技术问题，本申请实施例提供了如下解决方案。
如图6所示，图6是本申请实施例提供的一种参考信号的通信方法的流程图。本申请实施例的步骤至少包括：
S601，基站根据第一消息，确定信道状态信息参考信号CSI-RS的资源配置。
其中，第一消息可以包括1号系统信息块(system information block 1，SIB1)、消息2和消息4中的至少一个。基站可以通过SSB指示1号系统信息块SIB1关联的PDCCH的控制资源集和SIB1关联的搜索空间。然后UE根据PDCCH的控制资源集和搜索空间，接收基站发送的1号系统信息块。其中，消息2可以为随机接入响应，消息4可以为接入成功消息。
其中，CSI-RS也可以称为随机接入参考信号(random access-reference signal，RA-RS)、初始接入和移动参考信号(initial access and mobility-reference signal，IAM-RS)、或波束调整参考信号(beam refinement-reference signal、BR-RS)、或小区搜索参考信号(cell searching-reference signal，CS-RS)、或切换参考信号(handover-reference signal，H-RS)，或者其它名称。CSI-RS是指在随机接入过程中用于波束对准的参考信号，或者是在随机接入过程中部分信道参数与SSB具有QCL关系的参考信号，CSI-RS对应的端口号或者空域系数与SSB不完全相同。
其中，所述CSI-RS的资源配置包括以下中的至少一项：资源映射参数、序列生成参数、周期和时隙位置。其中，所述CSI-RS的所述资源映射参数包括以下中的至少一项：端口数、频域密度、频域RB的起始位置、频域RB的数量、频域分配、时域起始位置和码分复用类型。
可选的，基站可以根据所述第一消息关联的物理下行控制信道(physical downlink control channel，PDCCH)、所述第一消息关联的物理下行共享信道(physical downlink shared channel，PDSCH)、所述第一消息关联的PDCCH的控制资源集(control resource set，CORESET)、所述第一消息关联的PDCCH的搜索空间(common search space，CSS)、所述第一消息关联的物理小区标识(physical layer cell identity)、和所述第一消息关联的同步信号块SSB的索引中的至少一项，确定所述CSI-RS的资源配置。具体可以包括如下几种可选方式：
第一种可选方式，当所述资源映射参数为CSI-RS对应的端口数时，基站根据所述第一消息关联的同步信号块SSB的最大可能数量、所述第一消息关联的同步信号块SSB的时域位置、所述第一消息关联的SSB的数量、所述第一消息关联的载波频率范围、所述第一消息关联的PDCCH的搜索空间的带宽、所述第一消息关联的PDCCH和所述第一消息关联的PDSCH承载的随机接入响应RAR协议数据报文PDU中的至少一项，确定所述CSI-RS对应的端口数。
例如，基站可以根据第一消息关联的SSB的最大可能数量和控制资源集的带宽
Figure PCTCN2020133413-appb-000005
确定CSI-RS对应的端口数nrofPorts。
其中，SSB的最大可能数量与载波频率范围有关。当载波频率位于第一频率范围且载波频率小于f0，SSB最大可能数量为4。当载波频率位于第一频率范围且载波频率大于f0时，SSB最大可能数量为8。当载波频率位于第二频率范围时，SSB最大可能数量为 64。其中，f0为3GHz。又如，当SSB的最大可能数量为8时，也即载波频率位于第一频率范围，第一频率范围可以是小于7.125GHz。当SSB的最大可能数量为64时，也即载波频率位于第二频率范围，第二频率范围可以是大于7.125GHz且小于52.6GHz。
当SSB的最大可能数量为8、且PDCCH的控制资源集的带宽

又如，如表2所示，可以根据SIB1关联的PDCCH的控制资源集的带宽

其中，P1＝4、P2＝8、P3＝12。或者，P1＝2、P2＝4、P3＝6。
应理解，本实施例可以与其它参数联合使用。例如，可以根据CSI-RS(或SIB1、SSB)所在载波频率或子载波间隔确定P1、P2、P3的取值，也即可以在不同载波频率或子载波间隔定义不同的表格确定相应的P1、P2、P3的取值。又如，可以根据CSI-RS(或初始接入)所在频带或部分带宽(band width part，BWP)所支持的最大SSB数量、实际发送的SSB(或发送的SSB的数量)确定P1、P2、P3的取值。例如，当SSB最大可能数量为8，发送的SSB数量为4，则CSI-RS对应的端口数为2。例如，当SSB的最大可能数量为64，发送的SSB的数量为16，则CSI-RS对应的端口数为4。例如，当SSB的最大可能数量为64，发送的SSB的数量为30，则CSI-RS对应的端口数为2。例如，当SSB的最大可能数量为40，发送的SSB的数量为30，则CSI-RS对应的端口数为2。
需要注意的是，以上仅以3档

又如，可以根据SIB1关联的PDCCH确定CSI-RS对应的端口数nrofPorts。具体的，根据SIB1关联的PDCCH中的CSI-RS端口信息(CSI-RS nrofPorts)字段确定CSI-RS对应的端口数nrofPorts。
第二种可选方式，当所述资源映射参数为CSI-RS的频域资源块RB的数量时，基站可以根据所述第一消息关联的PDCCH的搜索空间的带宽、所述第一消息关联的PDCCH和所述第一消息关联的PDSCH中的至少一项，确定所述CSI-RS的频域资源块RB的数量。
例如，可以根据SIB1关联的PDCCH中的CSI-RS频域资源分配(frequency domain resource assignment for CSI-RS)字段确定CSI-RS的频域RB的数量nrofRBs。
又如，可以根据SIB1关联的PDCCH的控制资源集的带宽确定CSI-RS的频域RB的数量。其中，SIB1关联的PDCCH控制资源集的带宽可以根据主系统信息块(master information block，MIB)指示信息确定。具体的，CSI-RS频域资源RB数量nrofRBs等于SIB1关联的PDCCH的控制资源集的带宽
