终端设备,又可以称之为UE、移动台(mobile station,MS)、移动终端(mobile terminal,MT)等,是一种向用户提供语音和/或数据连通性的设备。终端设备可以为手持终端、笔记本电脑、用户单元(subscriber unit)、蜂窝电话(cellular phone)、智能电话(smart phone)、无线数据卡、个人数字助理(personal digital assistant,PDA)电脑、平板型电脑、无线调制解调器(modem)、手持设备(handheld)、膝上型电脑(laptop computer)、无绳电话(cordless phone)或者无线本地环路(wireless local loop,WLL)台、机器类型通信(machine type communication,MTC)终端,可穿戴设备(如智能手表、智能手环、计步器等),车载设备(如汽车、自行车、电动车、飞机、船舶、火车、高铁等)、虚拟现实(virtual reality,VR)设备、增强现实(augmented reality,AR)设备、工业控制(industrial control)中的无线终端、智能家居设备(如冰箱、电视、空调、电表等)、智能机器人、车间设备、无人驾驶(self driving)中的无线终端、远程手术(remote medical surgery)中的无线终端、智能电网(smart grid)中的无线终端、运输安全(transportation safety)中的无线终端、智慧城市(smart city)中的无线终端,或智慧家庭(smart home)中的无线终端、飞行设备(如智能机器人、热气球、无人机、飞机等)或其他可以接入网络的设备。
无线接入网设备是部署在无线接入网中为终端设备提供个无线通信功能的装置。无线接入网设备设备可以包括各种形式的基站。例如,宏基站、微基站(也称为小站)、中继站、接入点等。在采用不同的无线接入技术的系统中,无线接入网设备的名称可能会有所不同。例如,全球移动通信系统(global system for mobile communication,GSM)或码分多址(code division multiple access,CDMA)网络中的基站收发信台(base transceiver station,BTS),宽带码分多址(wideband code division multiple access,WCDMA)中的NB(NodeB),长期演进(long term evolution,LTE)中的eNB或eNodeB(evolutional NodeB)。无线接入网设备还可以是云无线接入网络(cloud radio access network,CRAN)场景下的无线控制器。无线接入网设备还可以是未来网络(如6G等)中的基站设备或者未来演进的公共陆地移动网(public  land mobile network,PLMN)网络中的无线接入网设备。无线接入网设备还可以是可穿戴设备或车载设备。无线接入网设备还可以是传输接收节点(transmission and reception point,TRP)。
需要说明的是,图1所示的网络架构中不限于仅包括图中所示的无线接入网设备和终端设备。
为了更好地理解本发明实施例,下面先对本发明实施例的相关技术进行描述。
在移动通信系统(如5G)中,无线接入网设备进行数据传输之前需要终端设备进行信道测量,获取信道信息,从而决定数据传输的相关参数,如调制阶数,编码码率等。信道测量是R15协议中的一个测量流程,用于测量特定测量资源的信道状态信息(channel status information,CSI)。CSI可以包括信道质量标识(channel quality indicator,CQI)等。信道测量可以分为下行信道测量和上行信道测量。
下行信道测量可以包括以下步骤。
第一.无线接入网设备向终端设备发送配置信息。
无线接入网设备可以通过无线资源控制(radio resource control,RRC)信令向终端设备发送配置信息。配置信息可以包括资源配置信息和上报配置信息。资源配置信息用于配置测量资源相关的信息。在3GPP协议(如38.331协议)里可以通过三级结构,即资源配置(resourceConfig)-资源集(resourceSet)-测量资源(resource)进行配置。无线接入网设备可以为终端设备配置一个或多个测量资源配置,每个测量资源配置可以包括一个或多个资源集,每个资源集可以包括一个或多个测量资源。每个资源配置/资源集/测量资源均可以包括一个自身的索引。此外,每个资源配置/资源集/测量资源均还可以包括一些其他参数,如测量资源的周期、测量资源对应的信号类型等。每个测量资源还可以包括一个或多个天线端口。resourceConfig(即resourceconfiguration)也可以写成resourceSetting,可以对应RRC信令中的resourceConfigIE。测量资源可以包括信道测量资源和干扰测量资源。
上报配置信息用于配置测量结果上报相关的信息。在3GPP协议(如38.331协议)里可以通过上报配置ReportConfig进行配置。无线接入网设备可以为终端设备配置一个或多个上报配置ReportConfig,每个上报配置可以包括上报指标、上报时间、上报周期、上报格式等中的至少一项与上报相关的信息。此外,上报配置信息还包括资源配置的索引,用于指示上报的测量结果是通过什么资源配置测得的。
信道测量中,还可以测量对应的干扰信号。干扰信号可以通过测量干扰测量资源来进行测量。干扰测量资源可以与信道测量资源一起配置给终端设备,分别配置在不同的resourceConfig中。例如,RRC信令配置了两个resourceConfig,其中一个用于配置信道测量资源,另一个用于配置干扰测量资源。干扰测量资源的类型有非零功率(none zero power,NZP)信道状态信息参考信号(channel status information reference signal,CSI-RS)和信道状态信息干扰测量((channel status information interference measurement,CSI-IM)两种。
无线接入网设备还需要为终端设备配置各个信道测量资源的波束信息,以便终端设备能够确定每个信道测量资源对应的波束,以及确定应该采用什么接收波束来接收参考信号。波束信息可以封装在传输配置编号(transmission configuration index,TCI)-状态(state)中,每个信道测量资源可以包括一个TCI-state,用于指示该信道测量资源的波束信息。干扰测量资源的波束信息不需要配置,而是默认采用其关联的信道测量资源的波束信息。例如,当采用CSI-IM资源作为干扰测量资源时,CSI-IM资源的数量必须等于信道测量资源的数量,并一一对应。每个CSI-IM默认采用其对应的信道测量资源的波束,终端设备可以采用相同的接收波束来接收该信道测量资源和该CSI-IM资源。当采用NZPCSI-RS资源作为干扰测量资源时, 规定只能配置一个信道测量资源,所有NZPCSI-RS干扰测量资源都采用该信道测量资源的波束。一个信道测量资源可以唯一对应一个发送波束。一个信道测量资源对应的波束,可理解为,无线接入网设备在该信道测量资源上的发送波束。
R15协议(如38.331协议)里资源配置信息和上报配置信息的具体格式如下:
Figure PCTCN2022083818-appb-000001
CSI-ResourceConfig为资源配置,csi-ResourceConfigId为资源配置的索引,csi-RS-ResourceSetList为资源集列表,nzp-CSI-RS-SSB-ResourceSetList为nzp-CSI-RS-同步信号块(synchronization signal block,SSB)资源集的列表,csi-SSB-ResourceSetList为csi-IM资源集的列表,csi-IM-ResourceSetList为csi-IM资源集,CSI-IM-ResourceSetId为csi-IM资源集标 识,bwp(bandwidth part)-Id用于表示带宽块的标识,resourceType为资源配置中的资源的时域发送特征。CSI-ReportConfig为上报配置,reportConfigId为上报配置的索引。resourcesForChannelMeasurement为用于测量信道信息的资源配置。csi-IM-ResourcesForInterference为用于测量干扰信息的资源配置,该资源配置中包括的资源类型均为csi-IM。nzp-CSI-RS-ResourcesForInterference为用于测量干扰信息的资源配置,该资源配置中包括的资源类型均为nzp-CSI-RS。reportQuantity为上报的参量。
相应地,终端设备接收来自无线接入网设备的配置信息。
第二.无线接入网设备在资源配置信息所配置的资源上发送参考信号。
第三.终端设备根据测量配置信息对参考信号进行测量。
终端设备可以根据配置信息确定参考信号的相关参数。一个参考信号的相关参数封装在一个资源(resource)信息单元(information element,IE)中。一个资源对应一个参考信号,这个资源可以包括这个参考信号的相关参数。参考信号的相关参数可以包括发送周期、发送时间、信号类型、发送波束信息等。
第四.终端设备向无线接入网设备发送测量结果。
测量结果可以包括一个或多个信道测量资源的索引,以及这一个或多个信道测量资源对应的信道信息。信道信息可以包括CQI、信道的秩的标识(rank indicator,RI)、预编码矩阵标识(precoding matrix indicator,PMI)、层指示(layer indicator,LI)等。
可见,信道测量可以理解为:无线接入网设备向终端设备发送参考信号,终端设备通过测量参考信号确定信道信息并上报给无线接入网设备。
综上所述,无线接入网设备可以为终端设备配置多个信道测量资源,多个信道测量资源可以对应多个不同的发送波束,即无线接入网设备采用不同的发送波束发送各个信道测量资源对应的参考信号,终端设备可以测得各个发送波束对应的信道信息。多个信道测量资源也可以对应多个不同的TRP,即无线接入网设备可以采用不同的TRP发送各个信道测量资源对应的参考信号,终端设备可以测得各个TRP对应的信道信息。当终端设备测量了多个信道测量资源后,可以选择信道质量最好的信道测量资源,将其信道测量资源的索引以及对应的信道信息上报给无线接入网设备,以便无线接入网设备可以采用该信道测量资源对应的波束/TRP与终端设备进行通信,并根据该信道测量资源对应的信道信息确定传输参数。测量资源可以简称资源。在高频中,一个TRP对应一个发送波束。
TRP可以为一种无线接入网设备,也可以为无线接入网设备中的一部分,如收发机部分。例如,在采用多TRP的小区中,小区中的下行信号是通过多个TRP同时发送给终端设备的,这时可以将这多个TRP同时看作无线接入网设备,也可以将这多个TRP看作整个无线接入网设备的多个发射机。本申请中,为了清晰描述本发明技术,同时采用了无线接入网设备和TRP两种术语,两者之间的关系可参考上述定义进行理解。
除了可以单独获取各个波束或各个TRP的信道信息(即单信道测量)以外,还可以多个TRP联合起来测量(即联合信道测量),获取多个TRP的联合信道信息。该联合信道信息用于多TRP联合测量。即无线接入网设备要采用多个TRP同时为终端设备传输数据之前,无线接入网设备需要获取该多个TRP的联合信道信息。如何进行联合信道测量已成为一个亟待解决的技术问题。
请参阅图2,图2是本发明实施例公开的一种联合信道测量的示意图。如图2所示,对信道H1和信道H2进行联合测量。
无线接入网设备可以为终端设备配置一个信道测量资源,该信道测量资源可以包括多个 端口,这些端口可以分为两部分,每部分可以对应一个TRP。每个端口都对应一个参考信号,每个TRP发送其对应的那部分端口所对应的参考信号。终端设备可以将所有端口联合起来进行测量,即可实现多TRP联合测量(即联合信道测量)。
请参阅图3,图3是本发明实施例公开的另一种联合信道测量的示意图。如图3所示,假设一个信道测量资源包括两个端口,端口#1对应TRP1,端口#2对应TRP2。TRP1发送端口#1对应的参考信号,TRP2发送端口#2对应的参考信号,终端设备可以通过测量两个端口对应的参考信号,即可测量两个TRP对应的联合信道信息。
然而,在高频传输场景中,数据和信道测量资源对应的参考信号都需要采用特定的发送波束来进行传输。信道测量资源采用什么发送波束是通过无线接入网设备配置的,即作为一个参数配置在信道测量资源中。然而,目前只能为一个信道测量资源配置一个发送波束。但是,一个信道测量资源的不同端口采用不同的TRP发送,不同TRP采用的发送波束是不同的,这就需要为一个信道测量资源配置至少两个发送波束。由于无法为一个信道测量资源配置至少两个发送波束,导致采用一个信道测量资源来进行多TRP联合信道测量的方法在高频传输场景中无法适用。
基于上述网络架构,请参阅图4,图4是本发明实施例公开的一种通信方法的流程示意图。如图4所示,该通信方法可以包括以下步骤。
401、无线接入网设备向终端设备发送包括多个信道测量资源的第一配置信息。
相应地,终端设备接收来自无线接入网设备的第一配置信息。
无线接入网设备在向终端设备发送数据之前,可以先确定第一配置信息,之后可以向终端设备发送第一配置信息。第一配置信息可以包括多个信道测量资源。上述多个信道测量资源可以对应至少一组信道测量资源,即一组或一组以上信道测量资源,也即一组或多组信道测量资源。
无线接入网设备可以确定终端设备的测量方式。第一配置信息还可以包括用于指示该测量方式的指示信息。测量方式可以为单信道测量,也可以为联合信道测量。当测量方式为单信道测量时,上述多个信道测量资源对应一组信道测量资源,终端设备进行单信道测量,测量结果为单信道测量结果。当测量方式为联合信道测量时,上述多个信道测量资源对应至少两组信道测量资源,终端设备进行联合信道测量,相应地,测量结果包括联合信道测量结果。当测量方式为联合信道测量时,终端设备还可以进行单信道测量,相应地,测量结果还可以包括单信道测量结果。
单信道测量,可以理解为单独测量各个信道测量资源,确定各个信道测量资源对应的信道信息,并上报单信道测量结果。单信道测量结果可以包括以下一种或多种:信道测量资源的信息、RI、PMI、CQI、LI。例如,单独测量信道测量资源1,2,3,得到TRP1的信道信息。单独测量信道测量资源4,5,得到TRP2的信道信息。同一TRP的不同信道测量资源可以对应不同发送波束,用于测量该TRP采用不同发送波束时,对应的信道信息。终端设备可以上报各个TRP对应的信道测量资源中,质量最好的信道测量资源以及对应的信道信息,即可以上报各个TRP对应的单信道测量结果中质量最好的单信道测量结果。信道测量资源的信息可以为信道测量资源的索引、标识等可以标识信道测量资源的信息。
联合信道测量,可以理解为将不同组信道测量资源中的信道测量资源进行组合,然后测量各个资源组合(或资源对),确定各个资源组合(或资源对)对应的信道信息,并上报联合信道测量结果。联合信道测量结果可以包括以下一种或多种:资源组合(或资源对)的信息、RI、PMI、CQI、LI。上报的资源对的信息可以为资源对的索引,也可以为资源对包括的 两个信道测量资源的索引。例如,第一组信道测量资源{1,2,3}和第二组信道测量资源{4,5}可以构成6种资源对:{1,4}、{2,4}、{3,4}、{1,5}、{2,5}、{3,5}。每种资源对表示两个TRP采用特定的发送波束进行发送时对应的联合信道。终端设备可以上报各个资源对中,质量最好的资源对以及对应的信道信息,即可以上报联合信道测量结果中质量最好的一组联合信道测量结果。当联合信道测量资源对应资源对时,上报的这组联合信道测量结果可以包括以下一种或多种:资源对的信息,以及资源对包括的两个信道测量资源对应的RI、PMI、CQI和LI,即资源组合(或资源对)的信息可以为资源组合(或资源对)的索引、标识等可以标识资源组合(或资源对)的信息。应理解,两组信道测量资源对应两个TRP,即每个TRP分配有一组信道测量资源;同理地,三组信道测量资源对应三个TRP,以此类推。
当上述多个信道测量资源对应两组信道测量资源时,资源组合也可以称为资源对,可以由属于两组信道测量资源的两个信道测量资源组成。资源组合可以由属于至少两组信道测量资源的至少两个信道测量资源组成。资源组合包括的信道测量资源数可以为至少两组信道测量资源的组数,资源组合包括的信道测量资源分别对应至少两组信道测量资源。例如,上述多个信道测量资源为1、2、3、4、5和6,分为两组信道测量资源,其中,第一组信道测量资源为1、2、3,第二组信道测量资源为4、5、6。资源对可以为{1、4}、{1、5}、{1、6}、{2、4}、{2、5}、{2、6}、{3、4}、{3、5}和{3、6}。还例如,上述多个信道测量资源为1、2、3、4、5和6,分为三组信道测量资源,其中,第一组信道测量资源为1、2,第二组信道测量资源为3、4,第三组信道测量资源为5、6。资源组合可以为{1、3、5}、{1、3、6}、{2、3、5}、{2、3、6}、{1、4、5}、{1、4、6}、{2、4、5}和{2、4、6}。
应理解,上述信道测量资源1、2、3、4、5、6中的数字1、2、3、4、5、6是为了区分不同的信道测量资源,这些数字可以为信道测量资源的标识、序号、索引等可以区分不同信道测量资源的信息。
可选地,第一配置信息可以包括信道测量资源集合,信道测量资源集合可以包括上述多个信道测量资源。上述多个信道测量资源可以对应至少一组信道测量资源,即信道测量资源集合可以包括至少一组信道测量资源。至少一组信道测量资源中的每组信道测量资源可以对应一个TRP,每组信道测量资源可以包括一个或多个信道测量资源,用于对对应的这个TRP的信道进行测量。例如,假设上述多个信道测量资源对应两组信道测量资源,无线接入网设备配置了一个信道测量资源集合{1,2,3,4,5}。其中,两组信道测量资源中的第一组信道测量资源可以包括{1,2,3},即{1,2,3}是TRP1的信道测量资源;两组信道测量资源中的第二组信道测量资源可以包括{4,5},即{4,5}是TRP2的信道测量资源。
在一种情况下,无线接入网设备可以确定两组信道测量资源中的第一组信道测量资源包括的信道测量资源数N 1,之后可以根据N 1确定第一指示信息。第一配置信息还可以包括第一指示信息,第一指示信息可以指示两组信道测量资源中的第一组信道测量资源包括的信道测量资源数N 1。两组信道测量资源中的第一组信道测量资源包括的信道测量资源可以为上述多个信道测量资源中的前N 1个信道测量资源,也可以为上述多个信道测量资源中的后N 1个信道测量资源,还可以为上述多个信道测量资源中通过其它方式选取的N 1个信道测量资源,在此不加限定。N 1个信道测量资源为上述多个信道测量资源中的哪N 1个信道测量资源,可以是终端设备与无线接入网设备之间默认配置或协议设定的,也可以是无线接入网设备指示给终端设备的。两组信道测量资源中的第二组信道测量资源包括的信道测量资源可以为上述多个信道测量资源中除N 1个信道测量资源以外的信道测量资源。第一指示信息可以为N 1,也可以为N 1的信息,即可以通过一个信息来指示N 1。此处,N 1为大于或等于1的整数。
无线接入网设备还可以确定两组信道测量资源中的第二组信道测量资源包括的信道测量资源数N 2,之后可以根据N 1和N 2确定第一指示信息。第一指示信息可以包括N 1和N 2,也可以包括N 1的信息和N 2的信息,即直接配置两组信道测量资源包括的信道测量资源数。N 1和N 2的数值可以由无线接入网设备根据需要设定。无线接入网设备可以根据两个TRP上波束数量的比例进行设置。例如,当两个TRP上波束数量的比例为2:1时,N 1与N 2也要设置为2:1。无线接入网设备也可以根据其它信息进行设置,在此不加限定。其中,N 1和N 2的和等于上述多个信道测量资源的数量。当N 1为0或N时,上述多个信道测量资源可以对应一组信道测量资源,当N 1不为0或N时,上述多个信道测量资源可以对应两组信道测量资源。同理,当N 2为0或N时,上述多个信道测量资源可以对应一组信道测量资源,当N 2不为0或N时,上述多个信道测量资源可以对应两组信道测量资源。N为N 1与N 2的和,可以为上述多个信道测量资源的信道测量资源数。信道测量资源数可以理解为信道测量资源的数量。当无线接入网设备同时配置了N 1和N 2时,N 1或N 2为大于或等于0,且小于或等于N的整数。但是为了保证配置的有效性,减少不必要的配置,当配置了两组信道测量资源时,网络设备才可以配置N 2,此时,N 1或N 2可以为大于0,且小于N的整数。
当上述多个信道测量资源对应A组信道测量资源时,第一指示信息可以包括N 1、N 2、…、N A-1的信息(或者N 1、N 2、…、N A-1),也可以包括N 1、N 2、…、N A-1、N A的信息(或者N 1、N 2、…、N A-1、N A)。A为大于或等于3的整数。当第一指示信息包括N 1、N 2、…、N A-1的信息时,N i为A组信道测量资源中的第i组信道测量资源包括的信道测量资源数,i=1、2、…、A-1,A组信道测量资源中的第A组信道测量资源为上述多个信道测量资源中除第i组信道测量资源之外的信道测量资源。当第一指示信息包括N 1、N 2、…、N A-1、N A的信息时,N i为A组信道测量资源中的第i组信道测量资源包括的信道测量资源数,i=1、2、…、A-1、A。
在另一种情况下,无线接入网设备可以根据上述多个信道测量资源设置信道测量资源子集。当上述多个信道测量资源对应一组信道测量资源时,可以设置一个信道测量资源子集,即信道测量资源集合可以包括一个信道测量资源子集,也即第一配置信息可以包括一个信道测量资源子集。
当上述多个信道测量资源对应两组信道测量资源时,可以设置两个信道测量资源子集,即信道测量资源集合可以包括两个信道测量资源子集,也即第一配置信息可以包括两个信道测量资源子集。两个信道测量资源子集可以分别对应两组信道测量资源(即两个TRP),即两个信道测量资源子集与两组信道测量资源一一对应。两个信道测量资源子集中每个信道测量资源子集可以包括上述多个信道测量资源中的一个或多个信道测量资源。两个信道测量资源子集包括的信道测量资源的数量等于上述多个信道测量资源的数量。两个信道测量资源子集不能包括相同的信道测量资源,即两个信道测量资源子集之间不存在交集。
当上述多个信道测量资源对应A组信道测量资源时,可以设置A个信道测量资源子集,即信道测量资源集合可以包括A个信道测量资源子集,也即第一配置信息可以包括A个信道测量资源子集。A个信道测量资源子集可以分别对应A组信道测量资源,即A个信道测量资源子集与A组信道测量资源一一对应。A个信道测量资源子集中每个信道测量资源子集可以包括上述多个信道测量资源中的一个或多个信道测量资源。A个信道测量资源子集包括的信道测量资源的数量等于上述多个信道测量资源的数量。A个信道测量资源子集中的任两个信道测量资源子集不能包括相同的信道测量资源,即任两个信道测量资源子集之间不存在交集。
在又一种情况下,无线接入网设备可以建立上述多个信道测量资源中每个信道测量资源与第一索引的一个索引值之间的关联关系(或对应关系)。当上述多个信道测量资源对应一 组信道测量资源时,无线接入网设备可以建立该组信道测量资源中每个信道测量资源与第一索引的这个索引值之间的关联关系(或对应关系),即该组信道测量资源中每个信道测量资源对应的第一索引的索引值均相同,也即第一索引的同一个索引值对应一组信道测量资源中的所有信道测量资源。
当上述多个信道测量资源对应两组信道测量资源时,无线接入网设备可以建立上述多个信道测量资源中每个信道测量资源与第一索引的两个索引值之间的对应关系。第一索引的两个索引值中的一个索引值可以对应上述多个信道测量资源中的一个或多个信道测量资源,但同一个信道测量资源只能对应或关联上述第一索引的两个索引值中的一个索引值,不能同时对应或关联上述两个索引值。两个索引值对应的信道测量资源的数量总和为上述多个信道测量资源的信道测量资源数。第一索引的两个索引值分别对应上述两组信道测量资源,即两个索引值与两组信道测量资源一一对应。
当上述多个信道测量资源对应A组信道测量资源时,无线接入网设备可以建立上述多个信道测量资源中每个信道测量资源与第一索引的A个索引值之间的对应关系。A个索引值中的一个索引值可以对应上述多个信道测量资源中的一个或多个信道测量资源,但同一个信道测量资源只能对应或关联上述A个索引值中的一个索引值,不能同时对应或关联两个索引值。A个索引值对应的信道测量资源的数量总和为上述多个信道测量资源的信道测量资源数。第一索引的A个索引值分别对应上述A组信道测量资源,即A个索引值与A组信道测量资源一一对应。
应理解,上述第一索引可以为TRP的索引,也可以为一组信道测量资源的索引,还可以为其它索引,在此不加限定。
在又一种情况下,无线接入网设备可以确定信道测量资源的组数B,第一配置信息可以包括B,也可以包括B的信息。B为大于或等于1的整数。
无线接入网设备可以不指示终端设备需要进行单信道测量的信道测量资源。当测量方式为单信道测量时,可以表明终端设备需要单独测量上述多个信道测量资源中的所有信道测量资源。当测量方式为联合信道测量时,可以表明终端设备需要单独测量上述多个信道测量资源中的所有信道测量资源。当测量方式为联合信道测量时,也可以表明终端设备不需要单独测量上述多个信道测量资源中的所有信道测量资源,还可以表明终端设备需要单独测量至少两组信道测量资源中的一组信道测量资源,还可以表明其它意思,在此不加限定。具体表明什么意思可以由无线接入网设备和终端设备之间的默认配置确定。
无线接入网设备也可以指示终端设备需要进行单信道测量的信道测量资源。不论测量方式为单信道测量,还是联合信道测量,无线接入网设备均可以指示终端设备需要进行单信道测量的信道测量资源。
无线接入网设备可以确定第一资源,第一资源可以为上述多个信道测量资源中用于单信道测量的一个或多个信道测量资源,即上述多个信道测量资源中需要终端设备进行单信道测量的所有信道测量资源。之后无线接入网设备可以根据第一资源确定第二指示信息,第一配置信息可以包括第二指示信息,第二指示信息可以指示第一资源。
在一种情况下,第二指示信息可以指示至少一组信道测量资源中每组信道测量资源包括的信道测量资源中用于单信道测量的信道测量资源数M。每组信道测量资源中用于单信道测量的信道测量资源可以为每组信道测量资源中的前M个信道测量资源,也可以为每组信道测量资源中的后M个信道测量资源,还可以为每组信道测量资源中的任意M个信道测量资源,还可以为每组信道测量资源中的通过其它方式选取的M个信道测量资源,在此不加限定。M 为大于或等于1的整数。当上述多个信道测量资源对应至少两组信道测量资源时,M要大于或等于至少两组信道测量资源中每组信道测量资源包括的信道测量资源数中最小的信道测量资源数,以便每组信道测量资源中有足够用于单信道测量的信道测量资源。可见,第二指示信息可以通过数值M,或M的信息,就可以指示至少两组信道测量资源中每组信道测量资源包括的信道测量资源中需要终端设备测量的信道测量资源。
举例说明,第一组信道测量资源为{1,2,3},第二组信道测量资源为{4,5},M为2。第二指示信息可以指示第一组信道测量资源中的前两个信道测量资源1,2为需要进行测量的信道测量资源,第二组信道测量资源中的前两个信道测量资源{4,5}为要测量的信道测量资源。
在另一种情况下,当上述多个信道测量资源对应至少两组信道测量资源时,第二指示信息可以指示第i组信道测量资源中用于单信道测量的信道测量资源数M i。第i组信道测量资源中用于单信道测量的M i,可以为第i组信道测量资源中的前M i个信道测量资源,也可以为第i组信道测量资源中的后M i个信道测量资源,还可以为第i组信道测量资源中的任意M i个信道测量资源,还可以为第i组信道测量资源中通过其它方式选取的M i个信道测量资源,在此不加限定。M i为大于或等于0,且小于或等于第i组信道测量资源包括的信道测量资源数的整数。i=2、3…、信道测量资源的组数。
在又一种情况下,第二指示信息可以为第一比特位图。第一比特位图包括的比特的数量等于上述多个信道测量资源的信道测量资源数,第一比特位图中的一个比特用于指示上述多个信道测量资源中的一个信道测量资源是否需要进行单信道测量,即第一比特位图中的比特与上述多个信道测量资源一一对应,也即第一比特位图中的每个比特对应一个信道测量资源。例如,当一个比特(bit)的值为1时,可以指示需要测量这个比特对应的信道测量资源,当这个比特的值为0时,可以指示不需要测量这个比特对应的信道测量资源。再例如,当一个比特的值为0时,可以指示需要测量这个比特对应的信道测量资源,当这个比特的值为1时,可以指示不需要测量这个比特对应的信道测量资源。第一比特位图中比特与信道测量资源的映射关系,可以为信道测量资源集合中的第i个信道测量资源对应第一比特位图中的第i个比特。例如,信道测量资源集合中的信道测量资源1,2,3,4,5可以通过一个5比特的比特位图来指示。
在又一种情况下,当上述多个信道测量资源对应至少两组信道测量资源时,第二指示信息可以包括至少两个比特位图。无线接入网设备可以通过至少两个比特位图分别来指示至少两组信道测量资源中需要终端设备单独测量的信道测量资源,每个比特位图对应一组信道测量资源。比特位图中每个比特对应一个信道测量资源。例如,当一个比特的值为1时,可以指示需要测量这个比特对应的信道测量资源,当这个比特的值为0时,可以指示不需要测量这个比特对应的信道测量资源。再例如,当一个比特的值为0时,可以指示需要测量这个比特对应的信道测量资源,当这个比特的值为1时,可以指示不需要测量这个比特对应的信道测量资源。比特位图与信道测量资源的映射关系,可以为一组信道测量资源中的第几个信道测量资源对应对应的比特位图中的第几个比特。例如,第一组信道测量资源1,2,3可以通过一个3比特的比特位图来指示,第二组信道测量资源4,5可以通过一个2比特的比特位图来指示。
当测量方式为联合信道测量时,无线接入网设备可以不指示终端设备需要进行联合信道测量的资源组合(或资源对)。此时,可以表明终端设备需要联合测量由至少两组信道测量资源组成的所有资源组合(或资源对)。
当测量方式为联合信道测量时,无线接入网设备也可以指示终端设备需要进行联合信道测量的资源组合(或资源对)。当上述多个信道测量资源对应两组信道测量资源时,无线接入网设备可以先确定需要终端设备进行测量的第二资源对,之后可以根据第二资源对确定第 三指示信息。第一配置信息可以包括第三指示信息,第三指示信息用于指示第二资源对,第二资源对为用于联合信道测量的资源对。第二资源对可以包括一个或多个资源对,第二资源对包括的资源对的数量可以大于或等于1,且小于或等于由第一组信道测量资源和第二组信道测量资源组成的所有资源对的数量。
当上述多个信道测量资源对应至少三组信道测量资源时,无线接入网设备可以先确定需要终端设备进行测量的资源组合,之后可以根据确定的资源组合确定第三指示信息。第一配置信息可以包括第三指示信息,第三指示信息用于指示确定的资源组合,确定的资源组合为用于联合信道测量的资源组合。确定的资源组合可以包括一个或多个资源组合,确定的资源组合包括的资源组合的数量可以大于或等于1,且小于或等于由至少三组信道测量资源组成的所有资源组合的数量。
第三指示信息可以为第二比特位图,即无线接入网设备可以通过比特位图来指示要测量的资源对(或资源组合)。第二比特位图中每个比特可以对应一个资源对(或资源组合)。例如,当比特的值为1,可以指示需要终端设备测量对应的资源对(或资源组合),当比特的值为0时,可以指示终端设备不需要测量对应的资源对(或资源组合)。再例如,当比特的值为0,可以指示需要终端设备测量对应的资源对(或资源组合),当比特的值为1时,可以指示终端设备不需要测量对应的资源对(或资源组合)。当上述多个信道测量资源对应两组信道测量资源时,第二比特位图中比特与资源对之间的对应关系,可以为第二比特位图中的第(i-1)*N 2+j个比特对应第一组信道测量资源中的第i个信道测量资源与第二组信道测量资源中的第j个信道测量资源组成的资源对,也可以为第二比特位图中的第(j-1)*N 1+i个比特对应第一组信道测量资源中的第i个信道测量资源与第二组信道测量资源中的第j个信道测量资源组成的资源对。N 1为第一组信道测量资源包括的信道测量资源数,N 2为第二组信道测量资源包括的信道测量资源数。其中,资源对由两个信道测量资源组成,这两个信道测量资源分别属于两组信道测量资源。
当无线接入网设备使用的频段处于频率范围(frequency range,FR)2内时,第二资源对中不同资源对包括不同的信道测量资源。即第二资源对中的任意两个资源对不能有共同的信道测量资源,也即一个信道测量资源不能同时出现在两个要测量的资源对中。即当无线接入网设备使用的频段处于FR2内时,待测量的不同资源对不能包括相同的信道测量资源。例如,资源对{1,4}、{1,5}中都包括相同的信道测量资源1,无线接入网设备不能指示终端设备测量这两个资源对;资源对{1,4}、{2,5}中没有共同的信道测量资源,无线接入网设备可以指示终端设备测量这两个资源对。或者,当无线接入网设备使用的频段处于FR2内时,第二资源对包括的资源对的数量不能超过1个。即只能测量单个资源对,这样就可以避免要测量的多个资源对包括相同的信道测量资源。
第一比特位图和第二比特位图可以为第三比特位图中的两部分。可见,无线接入网设备可以通过一个比特位图来指示需要终端设备进行测量的信道测量资源和资源对(或资源组合)。一个比特位图中的部分比特可以指示需要进行测量的信道测量资源,部分比特可以指示需要进行测量的资源对(或资源组合)。指示信道测量资源的比特可以排在前面,指示资源对(或资源组合)的比特可以排在后面。或者,指示信道测量资源的比特可以排在后面,指示资源对(或资源组合)的比特可以排在前面。比特位图中比特与信道测量资源和资源对(或资源组合)的对应关系可以参考上面的相关描述。
当测量方式为联合信道测量时,无线接入网设备可以为终端设备确定上报模式,之后可以根据上报模式确定第四指示信息。第一配置信息还可以包括第四指示信息,第四指示信息 用于指示上报模式。上报模式可以包括第一模式和第二模式。
第一模式为上报一组联合信道测量结果和至少一组单信道测量结果中的一组信道测量结果。可见,当上报模式为第一模式时,联合信道测量结果和单信道测量结果只需要上报一种,且只需要上报一组测量结果。例如,无线接入网设备为终端设备配置了两组信道测量资源,根据这两组信道测量资源可以确定三组测量结果,即一组联合测量结果(例如最好的那个资源对对应的测量结果)和两组单信道测量结果(例如,两组信道测量资源中分别确定的质量最好的那个信道测量资源对应的测量结果)。其中,联合信道测量结果可以理解为联合信道测量的结果,单信道测量结果可以理解为单信道测量的结果。
第二模式可以上报Y组联合信道测量结果和X组单信道测量结果。Y的值可以默认为1,也可以为无线接入网设备配置的值,如配置为0或1,在此不加限定。单信道测量结果是否需要上报以及上报多少组,取决于X的取值。X的值可以由无线接入网设备配置。X的值可以为0,也可以为1,还可以为2,还可以为其它值。当X为0时,表示不需要上报单信道测量结果;当X为1时,表示需要上报一组单信道测量结果;当X为2时,表示需要上报两组单信道测量结果,即上报至少两组信道测量资源对应的单信道测量结果中的两组测量结果,两组单测量测量结果对应的信道测量资源分别属于两组不同的信道测量资源。X的上限值由终端设备上报给无线接入网设备。X的上限值可以在终端设备上报能力信息的过程中,上报给无线接入网设备。X的上限值可以是终端设备根据自身的能力信息确定的。
在一种情况下,当上报模式只包括第一模式和第二模式时,无线接入网设备可以为第四指示信息配置两个选项,即第四指示信息可以包括两个选项。当上报模式为第一模式时,无线接入网设备可以将第四指示信息设置为第一选项,当上报模式为第二模式时,无线接入网设备可以将第四指示信息设置为第二选项。
在另一种情况下,上报模式还可以包括第三模式,第三模式可以只上报单信道测量结果。当上报模式为第三模式时,无线接入网设备只会为终端设备配置一组信道测量资源,终端设备只需要进行单信道测量。无线接入网设备可以为第四指示信息配置三个选项,即第四指示信息可以包括三个选项。当上报模式为第一模式时,无线接入网设备可以将第四指示信息设置为第一选项,当上报模式为第二模式时,无线接入网设备可以将第四指示信息设置为第二选项,当上报模式为第三模式时,无线接入网设备可以将第四指示信息设置为第三选项。
第一配置信息还可以包括第一上报配置信息。第一上报配置信息可以包括cqi-FormatIndicator、pmi-FormatIndicator、csi-ReportingBand、codebookConfig、CQI-table、non-PMI-PortIndication、subbandSize、aperiodicTriggeringOffset等参数。在原来的标准中,上述这些参数是用于单信道测量的参数。当测量方式为联合信道测量时,如果要保留第一上报配置信息中的这些参数,这些参数的含义或数量均需要重新进行设计。
一种情况下,对于这些参数中的任意一个参数,可以规定这个参数的值适用于联合信道测量,即适用于至少两组信道测量资源的信道测量。例如,当cqi-FormatIndicator的值配置为widebandCQI时,至少两组信道测量资源对应的测量结果中的CQI都采用wideband。
在另一种情况下,对于这些参数中的任意一个参数,可以再增加至少一个同样的参数,即将每个参数的数量增加为至少两个,至少两个参数中的每个参数可以对应一个TRP的信道测量,或至少两个参数中的每个参数可以对应至少两组信道测量资源中的一组信道测量资源的信道测量。
无线接入网设备可以显式地指示测量方式,也可以隐式地指示测量方式。
当上述多个信道测量资源对应至少一组信道测量资源时,在一种情况下,无线接入网设 备可以通过第一指示信息指示测量方式,即第一指示信息还可以指示测量方式。例如,当N 1为0时,第一指示信息可以指示测量方式为单信道测量,当N 1大于0时,第一指示信息可以指示测量方式为联合信道测量。此时,N 1要小于N。再例如,当N 1为0或N时,第一指示信息可以指示测量方式为单信道测量,当N 1大于0且小于N时,第一指示信息可以指示测量方式为联合信道测量。再例如,当N 2为0或N时,第一指示信息可以指示测量方式为单信道测量,当N 2大于0且小于N时,第一指示信息可以指示测量方式为联合信道测量。
在另一种情况下,无线接入网设备可以通过信道测量资源子集的数量指示测量方式。当第一配置信息包括一个信道测量资源子集时,可以指示测量方式为单信道测量,当第一配置信息包括多个信道测量资源子集时,可以指示测量方式为联合信道测量。
在又一种情况下,无线接入网设备可以通过信道测量资源的组数指示测量方式。当上述B为1,或者第一配置信息不包括信道测量资源的组数(或组数的信息)时,可以指示测量方式为单信道测量,当上述B大于1时,可以指示测量方式为联合信道测量。
在又一种情况下,无线接入网设备可以通过一个参数指示信道测量资源集合是否包括至少两组信道测量资源。第一配置信息可以包括这个参数。例如,当上述多个信道测量资源对应两组信道测量资源时,这个参数可以指示信道测量资源集合是否包括第二组信道测量资源(第二个TRP的信道测量资源/信道测量资源组),即是否包括。例如,当这个参数为1时,可以指示测量方式为联合信道测量;当这个参数为0或未配置时,可以指示测量方式为单信道测量。再例如,当这个参数为0时,可以指示测量方式为联合信道测量;当这个参数为1或未配置时,可以指示测量方式为单信道测量。
在又一种情况下,无线接入网设备可以通过一个参数来配置测量方式。这个参数可以包括至少两个选项,当测量方式为单信道测量时,无线接入网设备可以将这个参数设置为第一选项,当测量方式为联合信道测量时,无线接入网设备可以将这个参数设置为第二选项。这个参数也可以包括一个选项,当测量方式为联合信道测量时,无线接入网设备可以配置这个参数,当测量方式为单信道测量时,无线接入网设备可以不配置这个参数。
在又一种情况下,无线接入网设备可以通过第一上报配置信息来指示测量方式。当测量方式为联合信道测量时,无线接入网设备可以配置第一配置信息包括多个(即两个或两个以上)第一参数;即当包括多个(即两个或两个以上)第一参数时,表示采用联合信道测量。当测量方式为单信道测量时,无线接入网设备可以配置第一配置信息包括一个第一参数。即当包括单个第一参数时,表示采用单信道测量。第一参数可以包括以下一项或多项:cqi-FormatIndicator、pmi-FormatIndicator、csi-ReportingBand、codebookConfig、CQI-table、non-PMI-PortIndication、subbandSize和aperiodicTriggeringOffset。
在又一种情况下,无线接入网设备可以通过上报量(reportQuantity)参数来指示测量方式。当测量方式为联合信道测量时,无线接入网设备可以将reportQuantity参数的值设置为某个或某些特殊值;当测量方式为单信道测量时,无线接入网设备可以reportQuantity参数的值设置成不是上述值。上述某个或某些特殊值可以专门用于联合信道测量的值。当测量方式为单信道测量时,无线接入网设备不会将reportQuantity参数的值设置为这些值。
在又一种情况下,当测量方式为联合信道测量时,无线接入网设备可以设置第二指示信息、第三指示信息和第四指示信息中的一种或多种指示信息。
为了进行干扰测量,无线接入网设备可以为终端设备配置干扰测量资源。第一配置信息还可以包括至少一个干扰测量资源。
需要进行测量的每个信道测量资源可以分别对应一个干扰测量资源。需要进行测量的每 个资源对(或资源组合)可以分别对应一个干扰测量资源,或者需要进行测量的每个资源对(或资源组合)可以分别对应C个干扰测量资源。C为资源对(或资源组合)包括的信道测量资源数,资源对(或资源组合)包括的C个信道测量资源与这C个干扰测量资源一一对应。
在一种情况下,无线接入网设备可以根据要测量的信道测量资源数和资源对数(或资源组合数)确定干扰测量资源的数量。无线接入网设备可以确定用于单信道测量的信道测量资源数。无线接入网设备还可以确定要测量的资源对数(或资源组合数)。之后无线接入网设备可以将用于单信道测量的信道测量资源数与要测量的资源对数(或资源组合数)之和,确定为干扰测量资源数。第一配置信息还可以包括干扰测量资源数个干扰测量资源。用于单信道测量的信道测量资源以及要测量的资源对(或资源组合)与干扰测量资源一一对应,即用于单信道测量的信道测量资源与部分干扰测量资源一一对应,要测量的资源对(或资源组合)与另一部分干扰测量资源一一对应。
例如,当第一配置信息包括第二指示信息和第三指示信息时,无线接入网设备可以确定第一资源包括的信道测量资源数Q。无线接入网设备还可以确定第二资源对包括的资源对数P。之后无线接入网设备可以将Q+P确定为干扰测量资源数。此时,第一配置信息还可以包括Q+P个干扰测量资源。Q+P个干扰测量资源,与Q个信道测量资源以及P个资源对(或资源组合)一一对应。例如,Q+P个干扰测量资源中的前Q个干扰测量资源可以与第一资源包括的Q个信道测量资源一一对应,Q+P个干扰测量资源中的后P个干扰测量资源(即剩余P个干扰测量资源)可以与第二资源对包括的P个资源对一一对应。再例如,Q+P个干扰测量资源中的前P个干扰测量资源可以与第二资源对包括的P个资源对一一对应,Q+P个干扰测量资源中的后Q个干扰测量资源可以与第一资源包括的Q个信道测量资源一一对应。
在另一种情况下,无线接入网设备可以根据配置的信道测量资源数和资源对数(或资源组合数)确定干扰测量资源的数量。无线接入网设备可以确定上述多个信道测量资源包括的信道测量资源数,即信道测量资源的数量。无线接入网设备还可以确定由上述多个信道测量资源对应的至少两组信道测量资源组成的所有资源对数(或所有资源组合数),即所有资源对的数量(或所有资源组合的数量)。之后无线接入网设备可以将上述多个信道测量资源包括的信道测量资源数与所有资源对数(或所有资源组合数)之和,确定为干扰测量资源数。第一配置信息还可以包括干扰测量资源数个干扰测量资源。上述多个信道测量资源和所有资源对(或所有资源组合)与干扰测量资源一一对应,即上述多个信道测量资源与部分干扰测量资源一一对应,所有资源对(或所有资源组合)与另一部分干扰测量资源一一对应。
例如,信道测量资源集合为{1,2,3,4,5},信道测量资源1,2,3,4,5对应第一组信道测量资源{1,2,3}和第二组信道测量资源{4,5}。无线接入网设备可以确定信道测量资源集合包括的信道测量资源数5。无线接入网设备还可以确定由第一组信道测量资源{1,2,3}和第二组信道测量资源{4,5}组成的资源对数6。之后无线接入网设备可以确定干扰测量资源的数量(即干扰测量资源数)为11(即5+6)。无线接入网设备可以为终端设备配置11个干扰测量资源,即第一配置信息可以包括11个干扰测量资源。信道测量资源1,2,3,4,5与11个干扰测量资源中的5个干扰测量资源一一对应,可以为11个干扰测量资源中的前5个干扰测量资源,也可以为可以为11个干扰测量资源中的后5个干扰测量资源,还可以为通过其它方式确定的11个干扰测量资源中的5个干扰测量资源。上述两组信道测量资源组成的6个资源对与11个干扰测量资源中的5个干扰测量资源一一对应,可以为11个干扰测量资源中的前6个干扰测量资源,也可以为可以为11个干扰测量资源中的后6个干扰测量资源,还可以为通过其它方式确定的11个干扰测量资源中的6个干扰测量资源。
需要进行测量的每个信道测量资源可以分别对应一个干扰测量资源,需要进行测量的每个资源对(或资源组合)中的每个信道测量资源可以分别对应一个干扰测量资源。应理解,上述干扰测量资源不存在相同的干扰测量资源,即用于单信道测量的一个信道测量资源对应的干扰测量资源,与用于联合信道测量的这个信道测量资源对应的干扰测量资源不同。
在一种情况下,无线接入网设备可以确定用于单信道测量的信道测量资源数。无线接入网设备还可以确定要测量的资源对数(或资源组合数)。无线接入网设备可以将要测量的资源对(或资源组合)的数量乘以C,再与用于单信道测量的信道测量资源数进行求和,将该求和结果确定为干扰测量资源数。C等于资源对(或资源组合)包括的信道测量资源数。例如,当上述多个信道测量资源对应两组信道测量资源时,C=2;当上述多个信道测量资源对应三组信道测量资源时,C=3。第一配置信息还可以包括干扰测量资源数个干扰测量资源。用于单信道测量的信道测量资源与干扰测量资源一一对应。每个要测量的资源对(或资源组合)对应C个干扰测量资源,资源对(或资源组合)中的C个信道测量资源与C个干扰测量资源一一对应。各个资源对(或资源组合)与其对应的多个干扰测量资源的对应关系可以按照这多个干扰测量资源的配置顺序确定。例如,第一个资源对对应上述多个干扰测量资源中的第一和第二个干扰测量资源,第二个资源对对应上述多个干扰测量资源中的第三和第四个干扰测量资源,以此类推。
例如,当第一配置信息包括第二指示信息和第三指示信息时,无线接入网设备可以确定第一资源包括的信道测量资源数Q。无线接入网设备还可以确定第二资源对包括的资源对数P。之后无线接入网设备可以将Q+2*P确定为干扰测量资源数。此时,第一配置信息还可以包括Q+2*P个干扰测量资源。Q+2*P个干扰测量资源,与Q个信道测量资源以及P个资源对(或资源组合)包括的2*P个信道测量资源一一对应。例如,Q+2*P个干扰测量资源中的前Q个干扰测量资源可以与第一资源包括的Q个信道测量资源一一对应,Q+2*P个干扰测量资源中的后2*P个干扰测量资源(即剩余2*P个干扰测量资源)可以与第二资源对包括的P个资源对一一对应,即与第二资源对包括的P个资源对中的2*P个信道测量资源一一对应。再例如,Q+2*P个干扰测量资源中的前2*P个干扰测量资源可以与第二资源对包括的P个资源对一一对应,即与第二资源对包括的P个资源对中的2*P个信道测量资源一一对应;Q+2*P个干扰测量资源中的后Q个干扰测量资源可以与第一资源包括的Q个信道测量资源一一对应。
在另一种情况下,无线接入网设备可以确定上述多个信道测量资源包括的信道测量资源数。无线接入网设备还可以确定由上述多个信道测量资源对应的至少两组信道测量资源组成的所有资源对数(或所有资源组合数)。无线接入网设备可以将所有资源对数(或所有资源组合数)乘以C,再与信道测量资源数进行求和,将该求和结果确定为干扰测量资源数。第一配置信息还可以包括干扰测量资源数个干扰测量资源。各个信道测量资源与干扰测量资源一一对应。每个资源对(或资源组合)对应C个干扰测量资源,资源对(或资源组合)中的C个信道测量资源与C个干扰测量资源一一对应。其它详细描述可以参考上面的相关描述。
例如,信道测量资源集合为{1,2,3,4,5},信道测量资源1,2,3,4,5对应第一组信道测量资源{1,2,3}和第二组信道测量资源{4,5}。无线接入网设备可以确定信道测量资源集合包括的信道测量资源数5。无线接入网设备还可以确定由第一组信道测量资源{1,2,3}和第二组信道测量资源{4,5}组成的资源对数6。之后无线接入网设备可以确定即干扰测量资源数为17(即5+2*6)。无线接入网设备可以为终端设备配置17个干扰测量资源,即第一配置信息可以包括17个干扰测量资源。信道测量资源1,2,3,4,5与17个干扰测量资源中的5个干扰测量资源一一对应,可以为17个干扰测量资源中的前5个干扰测量资源,也可以为17个干扰测量资源中的后5个干扰测 量资源,还可以为通过其它方式确定的17个干扰测量资源中的5个干扰测量资源。上述两组信道测量资源组成的6个资源对与17个干扰测量资源中的12个干扰测量资源对应,可以为17个干扰测量资源中的前12个干扰测量资源,也可以为17个干扰测量资源中的后12个干扰测量资源,还可以为通过其它方式确定的17个干扰测量资源中的12个干扰测量资源。
可见,一个资源对(或资源组合)可以对应一个干扰测量资源,可以通过该干扰测量资源测量这个资源对中每个信道测量资源的干扰信息。一个资源对(或资源组合)也可以对应C个干扰测量资源,这C个干扰测量资源与这个资源对中的C个信道测量资源一一对应,通过各个干扰测量资源测量这个资源对中各个信道测量资源的干扰信息。上述两种方法具体采用哪种可以由无线接入网设备确定,之后可以通过配置信息配置给终端设备;也可以由终端设备来确定,之后终端设备可以上报给无线接入网设备。例如,终端设备可以在终端设备能力信息上报过程中进行上报。
在另一种情况下,无线接入网设备可以确定用于单信道测量的信道测量资源,以及用于联合信道测量的资源对(或资源组合)。假设用于单信道测量的信道测量资源和用于联合信道测量的资源对(或资源组合)中包括的信道测量资源共包含D个不同的信道测量资源。无线接入网设备需要配置D个干扰测量资源,这D个信道测量资源与D个干扰测量资源一一对应。
例如,信道测量资源集合为{1,2,3,4,5},信道测量资源1,2,3,4,5对应第一组信道测量资源{1,2,3}和第二组信道测量资源{4,5}。用于单信道测量的信道测量资源为信道测量资源1,2和4。用于联合信道测量的资源对为资源对{1,4}和{2,5}。用于单信道测量的信道测量资源和用于联合信道测量的资源对中包括的信道测量资源共包含4个不同的信道测量资源1,2,4和5。因此,无线接入网设备需要配置4个干扰测量资源,与这四个信道测量资源一一对应。
如果一个信道测量资源与一个干扰测量资源关联,终端设备需要采用这个信道测量资源的接收波束来测量这个干扰测量资源。如果一个资源对(或资源组合)与一个干扰测量资源关联,终端设备需要采用这个资源对包括的多个信道测量资源的接收波束来测量这个干扰测量资源,例如采用该多个信道测量资源的接收波束来同时测量这个干扰测量资源。如果一个资源对(或资源组合)与C个干扰测量资源关联,即一个资源对包括的C个信道测量资源与C个干扰测量资源一一对应,对于这C个干扰测量资源中的每个干扰测量资源,采用与该干扰测量资源关联的信道测量资源的接收波束来测量该干扰测量资源。信道测量资源的接收波束相关信息是在配置信息中配置的。
一个资源对(或资源组合)中的每个信道测量资源都有对应的接收波束。当测量一个资源对(或资源组合)时,对于该资源对(或资源组合)中的每个信道测量资源,都要采用该资源对(或资源组合)中的所有信道测量资源对应的所有接收波束来同时接收该信道测量资源。将这种测量方式可以称为资源对(或资源组合)测量方式一。例如,资源对{1,2}的接收波束可以为接收波束1和接收波束2。当测量信道测量资源1时,终端设备需要采用接收波束1和接收波束2同时接收信道测量资源1对应的参考信号并进行测量;同理,测量其中的信道测量资源2时,终端设备需要采用接收波束1和接收波束2同时接收信道测量资源2对应的参考信号并进行测量。
当测量一个资源对(或资源组合)时,对于该资源对(或资源组合)中的任一信道测量资源,也可以只采用该信道测量资源对应的接收波束来测量该信道测量资源,即不需要采用该资源对(或资源组合)中其他信道测量资源的接收波束来测量该信道测量资源。将这种测量方式可以称为资源对(或资源组合)测量方式二。
上述资源对(或资源组合)测量方式一和资源对(或资源组合)测量方式二具体采用哪 一种可以是无线接入网设备配置的。网路设备可以配置是否采用资源对(或资源组合)测量方式一,以及是否采用资源对(或资源组合)测量方式二;也可以配置采用资源对(或资源组合)测量方式一和资源对(或资源组合)测量方式二中的哪一种。上述资源对(或资源组合)测量方式一和资源对(或资源组合)测量方式二具体采用哪一种也可以是终端设备上报的。例如。终端设备可以在终端设备能力信息上报过程中进行上报。终端设备可以上报是否采用资源对(或资源组合)测量方式一,以及是否采用资源对(或资源组合)测量方式二;也可以上报采用资源对(或资源组合)测量方式一和资源对(或资源组合)测量方式二中的哪一种。
更宽泛地,终端设备可以在终端设备能力信息上报过程中上报:是否支持采用多个(如两个)接收波束/空间接收参数/准同位(quasi-co-location,QCL)假设来接收/测量一个测量资源/信道。更进一步的,终端设备可以在终端设备能力信息上报过程上报:是否支持采用多个终端设备接收天线面板上的多个(如两个)接收波束/空间接收参数/QCL假设来接收/测量一个测量资源/信道。
接收波束又可以表述为空间接收参数、QCL假设,或进一步可以表述为类型为类型(type)D的QCL假设。采用某个信道测量资源的接收波束/空间接收参数/QCL假设来接收干扰测量资源,等价于终端设备假设该干扰测量资源与该信道测量资源具有QCL关系,如typeD类型的QCL关系。采用多个信道测量资源的接收波束/空间接收参数/QCL假设来接收干扰测量资源,等价于终端设备假设该干扰测量资源与这多个信道测量资源具有QCL关系,如typeD类型的QCL关系。
应理解,哪个干扰测量资源与哪个信道测量资源或哪个资源对(或资源组合)对应,可以是无线接入网设备与终端设备默认配置的,也可以是无线接入网设备指示给终端设备的。
应理解,用于单信道测量的信道测量资源,可以为上述多个信道测量资源中的所有信道测量资源,也可以为上述多个信道测量资源中的部分信道测量资源。用于单信道测量的信道测量资源,需要进行测量的信道测量资源,需要进行单信道测量的信道测量资源,用于单信道测量的信道测量资源,以及第一资源可以相互替换。
同理,需要进行联合信道测量的资源组合(或资源对),可以为由上述多个信道测量资源对应的至少两组信道测量资源组成的所有资源组合(或所有资源对),也可以为由上述多个信道测量资源对应的至少两组信道测量资源组成的部分资源组合(或部分资源对)。需要进行联合信道测量的资源对(或资源组合),需要进行测量的资源对(或资源组合),以及第二资源对(或资源组合)可以相互替换。
应理解,上述干扰测量资源的类型可以为NZP CSI-RS资源,也可以为CSI-IM资源,也可以是其他类型的干扰测量资源。
402、终端设备根据多个信道测量资源进行信道测量,得到第一测量结果。
终端设备接收到来自无线接入网设备的第一配置信息之后,可以根据第一配置信息确定上述多个信道测量资源,以及对应的干扰测量资源,并根据信道测量资源与干扰测量资源之间的对应关系和QCL关系,进行单信道测量和/或联合信道测量,得到第一测量结果。第一测量结果可以为终端设备测量得到的所有测量结果中需要上报的测量结果。
终端设备还可以根据第一配置信息确定第一配置信息对应的测量方式。当测量方式为单信道测量时,终端设备可以对确定的多个信道测量资源的部分或全部信道测量资源进行单独测量,得到所有测量结果。此时,所有测量结果只包括单信道测量结果,单信道测量结果的数量为单独测量的信道测量资源的数量。
当测量方式为联合信道测量时,终端设备可以先确定需要进行测量的资源组合(或资源对),之后可以对需要进行测量的资源组合(或资源对)进行联合测量。终端设备的测量结果可以包括至少一组联合信道测量结果,每个资源组合(或资源对)可以对应一组联合信道测量结果。此外,终端设备除了进行联合信道测量之外,还可以进行单信道测量,可以是对至少两组信道测量资源中的至少一组信道测量资源中的部分或全部信道测量资源进行单信道测量,也可以是对至少两组信道测量资源中的每组信道测量资源中的部分或全部信道测量资源进行单信道测量。此时,终端设备的测量结果还可以包括至少一组单信道测量结果。
终端设备可以先确定第一配置信息包括的信道测量资源集合,之后可以确定信道测量资源集合包括的上述多个信道测量资源,进而可以确定上述多个信道测量资源对应的至少一组信道测量资源。
在一种情况下,第一配置信息可以包括第一指示信息。在第一指示信息为N 1或N 1的信息的情况下,终端设备可以先根据第一指示信息获取N 1,之后可以确定两组信道测量资源中的第一组信道测量资源包括上述多个信道测量资源中的N 1个信道测量资源,以及可以确定两组信道测量资源中的第二组信道测量资源包括上述多个信道测量资源中除上述N 1个信道测量资源以外的信道测量资源。在第一指示信息包括N 1和N 2,或者N 1的信息和N 2的信息的情况下,终端设备可以先根据第一指示信息确定或获取N 1和N 2,之后可以确定两组信道测量资源中的第一组信道测量资源包括上述多个信道测量资源中的N 1个信道测量资源,以及可以确定两组信道测量资源中的第二组信道测量资源包括上述多个信道测量资源中除上述N 1个信道测量资源以外的N 2个信道测量资源。N 1个信道测量资源可以为上述多个信道测量资源中的前N 1个信道测量资源,也可以为上述多个信道测量资源中的后N 1个信道测量资源,还可以为上述多个信道测量资源中通过其它方式选取的N 1个信道测量资源,在此不加限定。
当N 1为0或N时,上述多个信道测量资源对应一组信道测量资源,当N 1不为0或N时,上述多个信道测量资源对应两组信道测量资源。终端设备根据第一指示信息确定或获取出N 1(和N 2)之后,可以先判断N 1是否为0或N,当判断出N 1为0或N时,表明上述多个信道测量资源对应一组信道测量资源,可以直接将上述多个信道测量资源确定为一组信道测量资源。当判断出N 1不为0或N时,表明上述多个信道测量资源对应两组信道测量资源,可以根据N 1和上述多个信道测量资源确定两组信道测量资源。终端设备可以根据上述多个信道测量资源的配置顺序或者配置顺序的逆序,确定两组信道测量资源。例如,终端设备可以将上述多个信道测量资源中的前N 1个信道测量资源确定为第一组信道测量资源,可以将上述多个信道测量资源中的剩余信道测量资源确定为第二组信道测量资源。再例如,终端设备可以将上述多个信道测量资源中的后N 1个信道测量资源确定为第一组信道测量资源,可以将上述多个信道测量资源中的剩余信道测量资源确定为第二组信道测量资源。
在第一指示信息包括N 1、N 2、…、N A-1,或者N 1、N 2、…、N A-1的信息(或者N 1、N 2、…、N A-1、N A,或者N 1、N 2、…、N A-1、N A的信息)的情况下,终端设备可以先根据第一指示信息确定或获取N 1、N 2、…、N A-1(或者N 1、N 2、…、N A-1、N A),之后可以根据N 1、N 2、…、N A-1(或者N 1、N 2、…、N A-1、N A)和上述多个信道测量资源确定A组信道测量资源。终端设备可以根据上述多个信道测量资源的配置顺序或者配置顺序的逆序,确定A组信道测量资源。例如,上述多个信道测量资源为1,2,3,4,5,6,A为3,在N 1、N 2和N 3均为2的情况下,终端设备可以将信道测量资源1,2确定为第一组信道测量资源,可以将信道测量资源3,4确定为第二组信道测量,可以将信道测量资源5,6确定为第三组信道测量资源终端设备。终端设备也可以将信道测量资源5,6确定为第一组信道测量资源,可以将信道测量资源3,4确定为第二组信道测量, 可以将信道测量资源1,2确定为第三组信道测量资源终端设备。
应理解,为了使第一指示信息为有效的指示信息,当第一指示信息包括多个值或多个值的信息时,这多个值均不能为0或N。
在另一种情况下,终端设备可以先确定第一配置信息包括的信道测量资源子集,之后可以将每个信道测量资源子集确定为一组信道测量资源。当第一配置信息包括一个信道测量资源子集时,终端设备可以确定一组信道测量资源。当第一配置信息包括两个信道测量资源子集时,终端设备可以确定两组信道测量资源。当第一配置信息包括A个信道测量资源子集时,终端设备可以确定A组信道测量资源。终端设备可以根据信道测量资源子集的配置顺序或者配置顺序的逆序,确定每组信道测量资源。例如,当第一配置信息包括两个信道测量资源子集时,终端设备可以将第一个信道测量资源子集确定为第一组信道测量资源,可以将第二个信道测量资源子集确定为第二组信道测量资源。再例如,终端设备可以将第二个信道测量资源子集确定为第一组信道测量资源,可以将第一个信道测量资源子集确定为第二组信道测量资源。
在又一种情况下,终端设备可以根据第一配置信息确定或获取上述多个信道测量资源中每个信道测量资源对应的第一索引,之后可以根据信道测量资源对应的第一索引的索引值对上述多个信道测量资源进行分组,可以将对应同一索引值的信道测量资源划分到同一组信道测量资源。当上述多个信道测量资源均对应同一个索引值时,终端设备可以确定一组信道测量资源,即将上述多个信道测量资源中的全部信道测量资源划分到同一组信道测量资源;当上述多个信道测量资源对应两个索引值时,终端设备可以确定两组信道测量资源;当上述多个信道测量资源对应A个索引值时,终端设备可以确定A组信道测量资源。终端设备可以按照索引值从大到小的顺序或从小到大的顺序确定每组测量资源。例如,当上述多个信道测量资源对应两个索引值时,终端设备可以将对应索引值较小的信道测量资源确定为第一组信道测量资源,对应索引值较大的信道测量资源确定为第二组信道测量资源。再例如,当上述多个信道测量资源对应两个索引值时,终端设备可以将对应索引值较大的信道测量资源确定为第一组信道测量资源,对应索引值较小的信道测量资源确定为第二组信道测量资源。
在又一种情况下,当终端设备与无线接入网设备默认配置一组信道测量资源,或者无线接入网设备提前向终端设备指示配置了一组信道测量资源,或者P的值为1时,终端设备可以根据上述多个信道测量资源获取一组信道测量资源。
当终端设备与无线接入网设备默认配置两组信道测量资源,或者无线接入网设备提前向终端设备指示配置了两组信道测量资源,或者P的值为2时,终端设备可以将上述多个信道测量资源均分为两组信道测量资源。终端设备可以按照信道测量资源的排列顺序进行划分,可以将上述多个信道测量资源中的前一半信道测量资源确定为第一组信道测量资源,可以将上述多个信道测量资源中的后一半信道测量资源确定为第二组信道测量资源,得到两组信道测量资源。反之亦然。终端设备也可以按照信道测量资源的奇偶性进行划分,可以按照排序将上述多个信道测量资源中第奇数个信道测量资源确定为第一组信道测量资源,可以按照排序将上述多个信道测量资源中第偶数个信道测量资源确定为第二组信道测量资源,得到两组信道测量资源。反之亦然。当上述多个信道测量资源的资源数量为偶数时,两组信道测量资源包括的信道测量资源的数量相同。当上述多个信道测量资源的资源数量为奇数时,可以是前一半信道测量资源对应的一组信道测量资源包括的信道测量资源比后一半信道测量资源对应的一组信道测量资源包括的信道测量资源多一个信道测量资源,也可以是后一半信道测量资源对应的一组信道测量资源包括的信道测量资源比前一半信道测量资源对应的一组信道测量 资源包括的信道测量资源多一个信道测量资源。
当终端设备与无线接入网设备默认配置A组信道测量资源,或者无线接入网设备提前向终端设备指示配置了A组信道测量资源,或者P的值为A时,终端设备可以将上述多个信道测量资源均分为A组信道测量资源。当上述多个信道测量资源的信道测量资源数能够整数A时,A组信道测量资源包括的信道测量资源的数量相同。当上述多个信道测量资源的信道测量资源数不能整数A时,A组信道测量资源中部分组信道测量资源包括的信道测量资源可以比部分组信道测量资源包括的信道测量资源多一个信道测量资源。终端设备可以按照信道测量资源的排序进行划分,也可以按照其他方式进行划分。例如,假设上述多个信道测量资源为1、2、3、4、5,A为3,可以将1、4划分为一组,2、5划分为一组,3划分为一组。
终端设备根据第一配置信息确定第一配置信息对应的测量方式可以如下。
在一种情况下,终端设备可以根据第一指示信息确定上述测量方式。终端设备根据第一指示信息确定出N 1之后,可以先判断N 1是否为0或N,当判断出N 1为0或N时,可以确定上述测量方式为单信道测量。当判断出N 1不为0或N时,可以确定上述测量方式为联合信道测量。
在另一种情况下,终端设备可以根据第一配置信息包括的信道测量资源子集的数量确定上述测量方式。终端设备确定出第一配置信息包括的信道测量资源子集之后,可以判断资源子集的数量是否大于1,当判断出信道测量资源子集的数量大于1时,可以确定测量方式为联合信道测量,当判断出信道测量资源子集的数量等于1时,可以确定测量方式为单信道测量。
在又一种情况下,终端设备可以先判断第一配置信息是否包括信道测量资源的组数B,或者B的信息,当判断出第一配置信息包括信道测量资源的组数B,或者B的信息时,可以继续判断B是否大于1,当判断出B大于1时,可以确定测量方式为联合信道测量。当判断出B等于1时,或者当判断出第一配置信息不包括信道测量资源的组数B或者B的信息时,可以确定测量方式为单信道测量。

终端设备还可以确定需要进行单信道测量的信道测量资源。终端设备可以先判断第一配置信息是否包括第二指示信息。当判断出第一配置信息不包括第二指示信息,且测量方式为单信道测量时,终端设备可以确定需要单独测量上述多个信道测量资源中的所有信道测量资源。
当判断出第一配置信息不包括第二指示信息,且测量方式为联合信道测量时,终端设备可以确定需要单独测量上述多个信道测量资源中的所有信道测量资源,也可以确定不需要单独测量上述多个信道测量资源中的所有信道测量资源,还可以确定需要单独测量至少两组信道测量资源中的一组信道测量资源,还可以确定其它意思,在此不加限定。具体确定出什么意思可以由无线接入网设备和终端设备之间的默认配置确定。
当判断出第一配置信息包括第二指示信息时,终端设备可以根据第二指示信息第一资源。在一种情况下,终端设备可以根据第二指示信息确定或获取M,当测量方式为单信道测量时,可以将上述多个信道测量资源中的前M个信道测量资源确定为第一资源,也可以将上述多个信道测量资源中的后M个信道测量资源确定为第一资源,还可以将上述多个信道测量资源中的任意M个信道测量资源确定为第一资源,还可以通过其它方式将上述多个信道测量资源中的M个信道测量资源确定为第一资源,在此不加限定。当测量方式为联合信道测量时,终端设备可以将至少两组信道测量资源中每组信道测量资源中的前M个信道测量资源确定为第一资源,也可以将至少两组信道测量资源中每组信道测量资源中的后M个信道测量资源确定为第一资源,还可以将至少两组信道测量资源中每组信道测量资源中的任意M个信道测量资源确定为第一资源,还可以通过其它方式将至少两组信道测量资源中每组信道测量资源中的M个信道测量资源确定为第一资源,在此不加限定。
在另一种情况下,终端设备可以根据第二指示信息确定或获取M i,之后可以将第i组信道测量资源中的前M i个信道测量资源确定为第一资源,也可以将第i组信道测量资源中的后M i个信道测量资源确定为第一资源,还可以将第i组信道测量资源中的任意M i个信道测量资源确定为第一资源,还可以通过其它方式将第i组信道测量资源中的M i个信道测量资源确定为第一资源,在此不加限定。M i和i的详细描述可以参考步骤401中的相关描述。
在又一种情况下,终端设备可以根据第一比特位图中每个比特的值确定第一资源。例如,终端设备可以将上述多个信道测量资源中对应第一比特位图中比特的值为1的信道测量资源确定为第一资源。再例如,终端设备可以将上述多个信道测量资源中对应第一比特位图中比特的值为0的信道测量资源确定为第一资源。
在又一种情况下,终端设备可以根据至少两个比特位图包括的比特的值确定第一资源。例如,终端设备可以将至少两组信道测量资源中对应比特位图中比特的值为1的信道测量资源确定为第一资源。再例如,终端设备可以将至少两组信道测量资源中对应比特位图中比特的值为0的信道测量资源确定为第一资源。
当测量方式为联合信道测量时,终端设备还可以确定需要进行联合信道测量的资源组合(或资源对)。终端设备可以先判断第一配置信息是否包括第三指示信息,当判断出第一配置信息不包括第三指示信息时,终端设备可以确定需要测量至少两组信道测量资源组成的所有资源组合(或资源对)。
当判断出第一配置信息包括第三指示信息,且上述多个信道测量资源对应两组信道测量资源时,终端设备可以根据第三指示信息确定第二资源对。当判断出第一配置信息包括第三 指示信息,且上述多个信道测量资源对应至少三组信道测量资源时,终端设备可以根据第三指示信息确定需要进行测量的资源组合。终端设备可以根据第二比特位图确定第二资源对,或需要进行测量的资源组合。例如,终端设备可以将所有资源对(或所有资源组合)中对应第二比特位图中比特的值为1的资源对(或资源组合),确定为第二资源对(或需要进行测量的资源组合)。再例如,终端设备可以将所有资源对(或所有资源组合)中对应第二比特位图中比特的值为0的资源对(或资源组合),确定为第二资源对(或需要进行测量的资源组合)。
在一种情况下,终端设备可以先根据第一配置信息确定第三比特位图,之后可以根据第三比特位图确定第一比特位图和第二比特位图,进而可以根据第一比特位图确定第一资源,以及可以根据第二比特位图确定第二资源对(或需要进行测量的资源组合)。
在第一配置信息包括第四指示信息的情况下,终端设备可以根据第四指示信息确定上报模式。当上报模式只包括第一模式和第二模式时,当第四指示信息为第一选项时,终端设备可以确定上报模式为第一模式,当第四指示信息为第二选项时,终端设备可以确定上报模式为第二模式。当上报模式包括第一模式、第二模式和第三模式时,当第四指示信息为第一选项时,终端设备可以确定上报模式为第一模式,当第四指示信息为第二选项时,终端设备可以确定上报模式为第二模式,当第四指示信息为第三选项时,终端设备可以确定上报模式为第三模式。
此外,终端设备可以根据第二指示信息、第三指示信息和第四指示信息中的一种或多种指示信息确定测量方式为联合信道测量。例如,当第一配置信息包括第三指示信息时,终端设备可以确定测量方式为联合信道测量。再例如,在只有当测量方式为联合信道测量时,第一配置信息才可以包括第二指示信息的情况下,当第一配置信息包括第二指示信息时,终端设备可以确定测量方式为联合信道测量。再例如,由于只有当测量方式为联合信道测量时,第一配置信息才可以包括第四指示信息,因此,当第一配置信息包括第四指示信息时,终端设备可以确定测量方式为联合信道测量。
当终端设备确定的测量方式为单信道测量时,终端设备确定出需要进行单信道测量测量的信道测量资源之后,可以对这些信道测量资源中的每个信道测量资源单独进行测量,得到所有测量结果。此时,所有测量结果只包括单信道测量结果,单信道测量结果的数量与需要进行测量的信道测量资源的数量相同,即一个需要进行测量的信道测量资源对应一个单信道测量结果。
当终端设备确定的测量方式为联合信道测量,且上述多个信道测量资源对应至少两组信道测量资源时,终端设备确定出需要进行单信道测量的资源对(或资源组合)之后,可以对这些资源对(或资源组合)中的每个资源对(或资源组合)进行联合测量,得到至少一组联合信道测量结果。此时,所有测量结果可以包括至少一组联合信道测量结果,联合信道测量结果的组数与需要进行测量的资源对(或资源组合)的数量相同,即一个需要进行测量的资源对(或资源组合)对应一组联合信道测量结果。
当终端设备确定的测量方式为联合信道测量时,终端设备还需要确定是否进行单信道测量,可以判断是否存在需要进行信道测量(或单信道测量)的信道测量资源,当判断出存在需要进行信道测量的信道测量资源时,表明还需要进行单信道测量。终端设备可以对确定的需要进行单信道测量的信道测量资源中每个信道测量资源单独进行测量,得到至少一组单信道测量结果。此时,所有测量结果还可以包括至少一组单信道测量结果,单信道测量结果的组数可以小于或等于上述多个信道测量资源对应的信道测量资源的组数。一组信道测量资源对应一组单信道测量结果。当判断出不存在需要进行信道测量的信道测量资源时,表明不需 要进行单信道测量。此时,所有测量结果只包括至少一组联合信道测量结果。
当测量第三资源对时,终端设备可以采用第三资源对中两个信道测量资源的接收波束同时接收两个信道测量资源中每个信道测量资源上的参考信号。第三资源对为需要进行测量的资源对中的任一资源对,例如,可以为第二资源对中任一资源对。第三资源对中两个信道测量资源的接收波束,可以为一个接收波束,也可以为两个接收波束。
可见,测量一个资源对时,终端设备需要采用资源对中的两个信道测量资源对应的接收波束来同时测量每一个信道测量资源。终端设备测量一个资源对中的第一个信道测量资源时,可以将第二个信道测量资源作为干扰。终端设备测量第二个信道测量资源对第一个信道测量资源的干扰,可以采用第一个信道测量资源的接收波束来接收第二个信道测量资源。同理,终端设备测量一个资源对中的第二个测量信道测量资源时,可以将第一个信道测量资源当作干扰。终端设备测量第一个信道测量资源对第二个信道测量资源的干扰,可以采用第二个信道测量资源的接收波束来接收第一个信道测量资源。
例如,信道测量资源对{1,4}时,终端设备需要同时采用信道测量资源1和4的接收波束来测量信道测量资源1,以及同时采用信道测量资源1和4的接收波束来测量信道测量资源4。
信道测量具有一定的复杂度,测量的信道测量资源的数量越多,复杂度越高。信道测量的复杂度可以进行量化,可以通过CPU来进行量化。一次信道测量对应的复杂度可以表示为S个CPU,S越大表示该信道测量的复杂度越高。CPU数量表示终端设备用来处理信道测量的计算能力,每个终端设备都有对应的CPU数量上限,每次信道测量上报都占用一部分CPU,当CPU不足时终端设备无法处理更多的信道测量需求。信道测量的复杂度与测量的信道测量资源数有关,测量的信道测量资源数越多,占用的CPU越多。
因此,终端设备进行信道测量之前,可以先计算测量占用的CPU数量,之后可以判断终端设备当前空闲CPU数量是否大于或等于测量占用的CPU数量。当判断出终端设备当前空闲CPU数量大于或等于测量占用的CPU数量时,可以表明CPU足够,终端设备可以进行信道测量。当判断出终端设备当前空闲CPU数量小于测量占用的CPU数量时,可以表明CPU不足,终端设备可以不进行本次信道测量,也可以等待到有足够的CPU之后再进行本次信道测量。
当测量方式为单信道测量时,测量占用的CPU数量为需要进行测量的信道测量资源的信道测量资源数。当测量方式为联合信道测量时,测量占用的CPU数量可以为2*P,也可以为Q+2*P,还可以为Q+k*P。Q为第一资源包括的信道测量资源的数量,即需要进行单信道测量的信道测量资源的数量。P为需要进行联合信道测量的资源对(或资源组合)的数量,例如,第二资源对包括的资源对的数量。k为一个常数,为终端设备上报或无线接入网设备配置的数值。k的取值可以是0、1、2,也可以是介于0和1之间的数值。P为大于或等于1的整数,Q为大于或等于0的整数。
终端设备进行信道测量之前,还需要根据第一配置信息确定至少一个干扰测量资源。之后终端设备可以为待测量的每个信道测量资源确定与之对应的干扰测量资源。终端设备可以为待测量的每个资源对(或每个资源组合)确定与之对应的干扰测量资源。不同的待测量的信道测量资源对应的干扰测量资源不同,不同待测量的资源对(或资源组合)对应的干扰测量资源不同,待测量的信道测量资源对应的干扰测量资源,与待测量的资源对(或资源组合)对应的干扰测量资源不同,即待测量的信道测量资源与对应的干扰测量资源一一对应,待测量的资源对(或资源组合)与对应的干扰测量资源可以一一对应。例如,第一资源包括信道测量资源1、2、3,第二资源对包括资源对{1,4}、{2,5},干扰测量资源1、2、3、4、5,信道测量资源1、2、3与干扰测量资源1、2、3一一对应,资源对{1,4}、{2,5}与干扰测量 资源4、5一一对应。
终端设备可以根据信道测量资源和对应的干扰信道测量进行单信道测量。一个信道测量资源与这个信道测量资源对应的干扰信道测量,可以是同时进行测量的,也可以是分开进行测量的,但它们可以使用相同的接收波束。
终端设备可以根据资源对(或资源组合)和对应的干扰信道测量进行联合信道测量。一个资源对(或资源组合)与这个资源对(或资源组合)对应的干扰信道测量,可以是同时进行测量的,它们可以使用相同的接收波束。
终端设备测量得到测量结果之后,可以从该测量结果中选取需要上报的测量结果,得到第一测量结果。
403、终端设备向无线接入网设备发送第一测量结果。
终端设备根据多个信道测量资源进行信道测量得到第一测量结果之后,向无线接入网设备发送第一测量结果。
当测量方式为单信道测量时,第一测量结果可以包括所有单信道测量结果,也可以包括所有单信道测量结果中的一个或多个单信道测量结果。这一个或多个单信道测量结果,可以为所有单信道测量结果中信道质量最好的一个单信道测量结果,也可以为所有单信道测量结果中信道质量较好的多个单信道测量结果。单信道测量结果可以包括信道测量资源的信息、RI、PMI、CQI和LI。信道测量资源的信息可以为信道测量资源在上述多个信道测量资源中的索引,也可以为第一比特位图中信道测量资源对应的比特的索引,还可以是用于指示信道测量资源的其他指示信息。
当测量方式为联合信道测量时,第一测量结果可以只包括一组信道测量结果。例如采用上报模式为第一模式时,终端设备只会上报一组信道测量结果,这组信道测量可以是单信道测量结果或联合信道测量结果。第一测量结果也可以包括多组信道测量结果。例如,上报模式为第二模式时,终端设备上报Y组联合信道测量结果和X组单信道测量结果。终端设备根据第一配置信息包括的第四指示信息确定上报模式之后,可以根据上报模式从所有测量结果中选取第一测量结果。
当上报模式为第一模式时,如果上述多个信道测量资源对应两组信道测量资源,则终端设备可以从各个用于联合信道测量的资源对对应的联合信道测量结果中选取一组联合信道测量结果,例如信道质量最好的联合信道测量结果,以及可以从两组信道测量资源中的每组信道测量资源对应的单信道测量结果中各确定一组单信道测量结果,例如信道质量最好的单信道测量结果。之后终端设备可以从上述确定的多组测量结果中选择一组进行上报,例如质量最好的那一组。
当上报模式为第二模式时,终端设备可以先确定X和Y,之后可以从所有测量结果中选取Y组联合信道测量结果和X组单信道测量结果,可以将这Y组联合信道测量结果和X组单信道测量结果,确定为第一测量结果。Y组联合信道测量结果可以为所有测量结果包括的至少一组联合信道测量结果中信道质量最好的Y组联合信道测量结果,也可以为所有测量结果包括的至少一组联合信道测量结果中的任Y组联合信道测量结果,还可以为通过其它方式从所有测量结果包括的至少一组联合信道测量结果中选取的Y组联合信道测量结果。X组单信道测量结果可以为所有测量结果包括的至少一组单信道测量结果中信道质量最好的X组单信道测量结果,也可以为所有测量结果包括的至少一组单信道测量结果中的任X组单信道测量结果,还可以为通过其它方式从所有测量结果包括的至少一组单信道测量结果中选取的X组联合信道测量结果。
当上报模式为第三模式时,终端设备可以将所有测量结果中的所有单信道测量结果确定为第一测量结果,也可以将所有测量结果包括的至少一组单信道测量结果中信道质量最好的一组或多组单信道测量结果确定为第一测量结果。
第一测量结果还可以包括第二资源的信息,第二资源为第一资源中要上报的信道测量资源,即需要上报的信道测量资源。可以理解为至少一组单信道测量结果中的每组单信道测量结果包括信道测量资源的信息。信道测量资源的信息可以为信道测量资源的索引。
在一种情况下,第二资源的信息可以为第二资源在信道测量资源集合内的局部索引。例如,信道测量资源集合可以包括信道测量资源{1,2,3,4,5},对应的局部索引可以为#0,#1,#2,#3,#4。如果要上报信道测量资源3,则上报对应的索引#2。
在另一种情况下,第二资源的信息可以为:第二资源在第二资源对应的一组信道测量资源中的局部索引。例如,信道测量资源集合包括信道测量资源{1,2,3,4,5},第一组信道测量资源为{1,2,3},第二组信道测量资源为{4,5}。第一组信道测量资源{1,2,3}中的三个信道测量资源在组内的局部索引为#0,#1,#2,第二组信道测量资源{4,5}中的两个信道测量资源在组内的局部索引为#0,#1。如果要上报信道测量资源3,则上报局部索引#2,如果要上报信道测量资源4,则上报局部索引#0。
在又一种情况下,第二资源的信息可以为:第二资源在第二资源对应的一组信道测量资源中属于第一资源的信道测量资源中的局部索引。例如,信道测量资源集合包括信道测量资源{1,2,3,4,5},第一组信道测量资源为{1,2,3},第二组信道测量资源为{4,5}。每组信道测量资源中要测量的信道测量资源数为2,即只测量每组信道测量资源内的前两个信道测量资源,即测量的信道测量资源为1,2和4,5。信道测量资源的索引可以是信道测量资源在所有要测量的信道测量资源中的局部索引。例如,信道测量资源1,2和4,5对应的局部索引可以为#0,#1,#2,#3。如果要上报信道测量资源1,则上报局部索引#0,如果要上报信道测量资源5,则上报局部索引#3。信道测量资源的索引也可以是在所在信道测量资源组内要测量的信道测量资源中的局部索引。例如,1,2对应的局部索引为#0,#1,4,5对应的局部索引为#0,#1。如果要上报信道测量资源1,则上报局部索引#0,如果要上报信道测量资源5,则上报局部索引#1。在又一种情况下,第二资源的信息可以为第一比特位图中第二资源对应的比特的索引。比特的索引可以为指该比特在第一比特位图中的排列位置。例如,排在第三位的比特的比特的索引可以为#2。当上述多个信道测量资源对应两组信道测量资源时,第一测量结果可以包括联合信道测量结果,联合信道测量结果为第一资源对的信道测量结果,第一资源对可以包括一个或多个由两个信道测量资源组成的资源对,这两个信道测量资源分别属于这两组信道测量资源,联合信道测量结果可以包括第一资源对的信息。第一资源对的信息可以为第二比特位图中第一资源对对应的比特的索引。例如,资源对{1,4}{1,5}{2,4}{2,5}{3,4}{3,5}对应一个6bit的比特位图,这六个资源对对应的比特分别为第1~6个比特,对应的比特的索引分别为#0,#1,#2,#3,#4,#5。第一资源对的信息也可以为第一资源对在所有资源对中的局部索引。例如,上述6个资源对{1,4}{1,5}{2,4}{2,5}{3,4}{3,5}中,各个资源对的局部索引分别为#0,#1,#2,#3,#4,#5。第一资源对的信息也可以为第一资源对在要进行测量的资源对中的局部索引,例如在第二资源对中的局部索引。例如,上述6个资源对{1,4}{1,5}{2,4}{2,5}{3,4}{3,5}中,要进行测量的资源对为{1,4}{2,5},如果第一资源对为{1,4},那么其对应的局部索引为#0,如果第一资源对为{2,5},那么其对应的局部索引为#1。第一资源对的信息也可以为第一资源对包括的信道测量资源的索引。第二资源对可以包括第一资源对。第一资源对可以理解为要上报的资源对,即第二资源对中,需要上报的资源对。
第一配置信息可以包括第二索引,第二索引包括第二指示信息和第三指示信息,第二索引可以包括P+Q个索引值。即第二资源和第一资源对也可以采用同一索引来表示。例如要进行测量的信道测量资源数量为Q个,要进行测量的资源对的数量为P个,该索引的取值为#0,#1,…,#(P+Q-1),共P+Q个索引值。每个索引值对应一个信道测量资源或资源对,例如前Q个索引值对应上述Q个信道测量资源,后P个索引值对应上述P个资源对。又例如,例如前P个索引值对应上述P个资源对,后Q个索引值对应上述Q个信道测量资源。上报格式中,该索引对应的字段长度为
Figure PCTCN2022083818-appb-000002
比特。信道测量资源和资源对对应的索引值是不同的,通过上报的索引值可以区分上报的是第二资源还是第一资源对。例如在上报模式为第一模式中,终端设备上报的信道测量结果可能是单信道测量结果,也可能是联合信道测量结果。具体是哪一种可以根据上述索引来判断。可选的,可以规定上报模式为第一模式时,采用上述索引来表示第二资源和第一资源对,即当上报模式为所述第一上报模式时,第二资源的信息和第一资源对的信息可以通过同一参数或索引表示。上报模式为其他模式时,如第二模式时,采用上述其他方式来上报第二资源和第一资源对的信息,即当上报模式为第二上报模式时,第二资源的信息和第一资源对的信息可以分别通过不同的参数或索引表示。上述方法中的P也可以替换为S,S为配置的资源对的数量,Q可以替换为R,R为配置的信道测量资源的数量。
在不同的上报模式下,终端设备上报的测量结果可能是不同的。例如,上报模式为第一模式时,终端设备可能上报一组单信道测量结果,也可能上报一组联合信道测量结果。上报模式为第二模式时,终端设备上报Y组联合测量结果和X组单信道测量结果。这些测量结果的上报格式需要进行规定,这样终端设备才知道按什么样的格式上报测量结果,无线接入网设备才知道如何解读上报的测量结果。
在一种情况下,终端设备上报一组信道测量结果。这组信道测量结果可能是单信道测量结果,也可能是联合信道测量结果。具体是哪一种可以通过信道测量结果中包括的一个索引的值来判断。例如,采用前文所述的方法,第二资源和第一资源对可以采用同一索引来表示时,第二资源和第一资源对对应的索引值是不同的,通过索引值可以判断这组信道测量结果是单信道测量结果还是联合信道测量结果。在这种情况下,上报格式可以分为两部分:第一部分和第二部分。上报的信道测量结果包括的各种信息携带在这两个部分之中。两个部分可以采用不同的信令进行传输,或采用不同的上报优先级。下面具体介绍第一部分和第二部分的内容。这种上报格式可以在上报模式为第一模式的时候采用。
第一部分可以包括以下一项或多项:
第一信息。第一信息可以指示一个信道测量资源,或一个资源对,用于指示这组信道测量结果是基于哪个信道测量资源或哪个资源对测量得到的。具体的,可以是一个索引值,通过该索引值可以确定一个信道测量资源或一个资源对。
第四信息。第四信息用于指示这组信道测量结果是一个信道测量资源对应的单信道信道测量结果,还是一个资源对对应的联合信道测量结果。
第五信息。终端设备已经确定这组信道测量结果为单信道测量结果的情况下(例如通过第四信息确定),第五信息进一步指示这组单信道测量结果对应的信道测量资源属于哪一个信道测量资源组。
第六信息。第六信道是信道测量资源或资源对的信息,如索引信息。如果第四信息指示这组信道测量结果是一个信道测量资源对应的单信道测量结果,那么该第六信息是一个信道测量资源的信息;如果第四信息指示这组信道测量结果是一个资源对对应的联合信道测量结果,那么该第六信息是一个资源对的信息。第六信息是一个信道测量资源的信息时,其具体 形式可以是前面介绍的第二资源的信息的几种具体形式。第六信息是一个资源对的信息时,其具体形式可以是前面介绍的第一资源对的信息的几种具体形式。
一个或两个RI信息。具体是一个还是两个RI信息,可以通过第一信息来确定。如果第一信息指示的是一个信道测量资源,则只有一个RI信息。如果第一信息指示的是一个资源对,则有两个RI信息。第一测量结果还可以包括第一字段,第一字段用于指示RI,当第一字段指示一个RI时,第一测量结果包括的测量结果为单信道测量结果,当第一字段指示两个RI组成的RI组合时,第一测量结果包括的测量结果为联合信道测量结果。上述一个或两个RI信息也可以通过一个字段来指示,该字段存在多个字段值,有的字段值对应单个RI信息,有的字段值对应两个RI信息,网络设备可以通过终端设备上报的字段值确定上报的RI信息的数量以及具体的RI的值。例如该字段长度为3比特,包括8个字段值,对应8中RI信息:{1,2,3,4 1+1,1+2,2+1,2+2},其中上报1表示上报单个RI,且RI的值为1。同理,上报2,3,4表示上报单个RI,且RI的值为2,3,4。上报1+1表示上报两个RI,第一个RI的值为1,第二个RI的值为1。同理,上报1+2,2+1,2+2原理类似。进一步的,在这种情况下可以通过RI的数量来判断这组信道测量结果是单信道测量结果,还是联合信道测量结果。第一个码字的CQI信息。可以包括宽带CQI信息和子带CQI信息。也可以只包括宽带CQI信息。
第二部分可以包括以下一项或多项:
第二个码字的CQI信息。可以包括宽带CQI信息和子带CQI信息。也可以只包括宽带CQI信息。
一个或两个LI信息。具体是一个还是两个LI信息,可以通过第一信息来确定。如果第一信息指示的是一个信道测量资源,则只有一个LI信息。如果第一信息指示的是一个资源对,则有两个LI信息。
一个或两个PMI信息。具体是一个还是两个PMI信息,可以通过第一信息来确定。如果第一信息指示的是一个信道测量资源,则只有一个PMI信息。如果第一信息指示的是一个资源对,则有两个PMI信息。PMI信息可以包括宽带PMI信息和子带PMI信息。也可以只包括宽带信息。
第二部分还可以进一步细分为两部分:宽带部分和子带部分。这时,上述第二部分中的子带信息,如子带CQI和子带PMI等,可以携带在子带部分中,其余信息可以携带在宽带部分中。可选的,也可以将第一个码字的CQI放在第二部分;或者将第一个码字的子带CQI放在第二部分,如第二部分中的子带部分。
在另一种情况下,终端设备上报Y组联合信道测量结果和X组单信道测量结果。Y的值可以默认为1,也可以由无线接入网设备进行配置,例如配置成0或1。X的值可以由无线接入网设备进行配置,如配置成0,1或2。可以分为两种实现方式。一种实现方式是,上述Y+X组信道测量结果中的每组信道测量结果单独分为第一部分和第二部分。另一种实现方式是将上述Y+X组信道测量结果合并在一起,然后分为一个第一部分和一个第二部分。两种方法都可以在上报模式为第二模式的时候采用。
第一种实现方式中,上述Y+X组信道测量结果中的每组信道测量结果都单独分为第一部分和第二部分。Y+X组信道测量结果按顺序排列。如X组单信道测量结果排在前面,Y组联合信道测量结果排在后面。或者,Y组联合信道测量结果排在前面,X组单信道测量结果排在后面。X组单信道测量结果的排序方式可以是根据单信道测量结果中包括的信道测量资源的索引大小顺序或配置顺序来进行排列,索引越小/配置顺序越靠前的信道测量资源对应的单信道测量结果排在越前面。
单信道测量结果的第一部分可以包括以下一项或多项:
第二信息。第二信息可以指示一个信道测量资源,用于指示这组信道测量结果是测量哪个信道测量资源得到的。第二信息如何指示一个信道测量资源,可以采用前文中第二资源的指示方法。
一个RI信息。
第一个码字的CQI信息。可以包括宽带CQI信息和子带CQI信息。也可以只包括宽带CQI信息。
单信道测量结果的第二部分可以包括以下一项或多项:
第二个码字的CQI信息。可以包括宽带CQI信息和子带CQI信息。也可以只包括宽带CQI信息。
一个LI信息。
一个PMI信息。PMI信息可以包括宽带PMI信息和子带PMI信息。也可以只包括宽带信息。
第二部分还可以进一步细分为两部分:宽带部分和子带部分。这时,上述第二部分中的子带信息,如子带CQI和子带PMI等,可以携带在子带部分中,其余信息可以携带在宽带部分中。
联合信道测量结果的第一部分可以包括以下一项或多项:
第三信息。第三信息可以指示一个资源对,用于指示这组信道测量结果是测量哪个资源对得到的。第三信息如何指示一个资源对,可以采用前文中第一资源对的指示方法。
两个RI信息。
第一个码字的CQI信息。可以包括宽带CQI信息和子带CQI信息。也可以只包括宽带CQI信息。
联合信道测量结果的第二部分可以包括以下一项或多项:
第二个码字的CQI信息。可以包括宽带CQI信息和子带CQI信息。也可以只包括宽带CQI信息。
两个LI信息。
两个PMI信息。PMI信息可以包括宽带PMI信息和子带PMI信息。也可以只包括宽带信息。
第二部分还可以进一步细分为两部分:宽带部分和子带部分。这时,上述第二部分中的子带信息,如子带CQI和子带PMI等,可以携带在子带部分中,其余信息可以携带在宽带部分中。可选的,也可以将第一个码字的CQI放在第二部分;或者将第一个码字的子带CQI放在第二部分,如第二部分中的子带部分。
第二种实现方式中,上述Y+X组信道测量结果也可以合并在一起,然后分为一个第一部分和一个第二部分。
第一部分可以包括以下一项或多项:
Y个第三信息和X个第二信息。用于指示Y个资源对和X个信道测量资源。
Y个资源对对应的RI信息。例如2Y个RI信息。
X个信道测量资源对应的RI信息。例如X个RI信息。
Y个资源对对应的第一码字CQI信息。可以包括宽带CQI信息和子带CQI信息。也可以只包括宽带CQI信息。
X个信道测量资源的第一码字CQI信息。可以包括宽带CQI信息和子带CQI信息。也可以只包括宽带CQI信息。
第二部分可以包括以下一项或多项:
Y个资源对对应的LI信息。例如2Y个LI信息。
X个信道测量资源对应的LI信息。例如X个LI信息。
Y个资源对对应的第二码字CQI信息。可以包括宽带CQI信息和子带CQI信息。也可以只包括宽带CQI信息。
X个信道测量资源的第二码字CQI信息。可以包括宽带CQI信息和子带CQI信息。也可以只包括宽带CQI信息。
Y个资源对对应的PMI信息。例如2Y个PMI信息。可以包括宽带PMI信息和子带PMI信息。也可以只包括宽带PMI信息。
X个信道测量资源对应的PMI信息。可以包括宽带PMI信息和子带PMI信息。也可以只包括宽带PMI信息。
第二部分还可以进一步细分为两部分:宽带部分和子带部分。这时,上述第二部分中的子带信息,如子带CQI和子带PMI等,可以携带在子带部分中,其余信息可以携带在宽带部分中。可选的,也可以将第一个码字的CQI放在第二部分;或者将第一个码字的子带CQI放在第二部分,如第二部分中的子带部分。
当上报结果中既包括联合信道测量结果,又包括单信道测量结果时,联合信道测量结果和单信道测量结果中的部分测量结果可以是相同的,这样就只需要上报一份。以Y=1,X=2为例进行说明。Y=1组联合信道测量结果中,存在两个RI,和/或两个PMI,和/或两个LI信息。X=2组单信道测量结果中也各自存在一个RI,和/或一个PMI,和/或一个LI信息。可以认为该X=2组单信道测量结果中的两个RI与该Y=1组联合信道测量结果中的两个RI是相同的,因此不用重复上报,可以省略该X=2个单信道测量结果中的两个RI,或省略该Y=1组联合信道测量结果中的两个RI。例如,终端设备可以不用上报该X=2组单信道测量结果中的两个RI,这时网络设备采用该Y=1组联合信道测量结果中的两个RI分别作为该X=2组单信道测量结果中的RI。又例如,终端设备可以不用上报该Y=1组联合信道测量结果中的两个RI,这时网络设备采用该X=2组单信道测量结果中的两个RI作为该Y=1组联合信道测量结果中的两个RI。当Y=1,X=1时,只存在一组单信道测量结果,可以假设这组单信道测量结果中的RI,与该Y=1组联合信道测量结果中的一个RI是重复的,这时也可以只上报其中一个,不用重复上报。例如,终端设备可以不用上报该X=1组单信道测量结果中的RI,这时网络设备采用该Y=1组联合信道测量结果中的一个RI作为该X=1组单信道测量结果中的RI。至于采用该Y=1组联合信道测量结果中两个RI中的哪一个RI,具体采用以下方法确定:上述两个RI是通过一个资源对中的两个信道测量资源分别确定的,这两个信道测量资源分别属于两组信道测量资源,因此可以认为每个RI对应一组信道测量资源;上述X=1组单信道测量结果对应的信道测量资源属于哪组信道测量资源,那么就采用该组信道测量资源对应的RI来作为该X=1组单信道测量结果的RI。同理,上述方法也适用于PMI和LI的上报。
上述方法中单信道测量结果也可以不分为第一部分和第二部分,而是只包括一个部分,其中包括一个信道测量资源的信息,一个RI信息、一个LI信息、一个PMI信息和一个CQI信息等中的一种或多种。上述方法中联合信道测量结果也可以不分为第一部分和第二部分,而是只包括一个部分,其中包括一个资源对的信息,两个RI信息、两个LI信息、两个PMI信息和一个或两个CQI信息等中的一种或多种。
一种示例中,在上述第一种情况中,终端设备只上报一组信道测量结果,这组信道测量结果可能是单信道测量结果,也可能是联合信道测量结果。当上报的是单信道测量结果时,可以像前文那样包括第一部分和第二部分,也可以只包括一个部分,其中包括一个信道测量 资源的信息,一个RI信息、一个LI信息、一个PMI信息和一个CQI信息等中的一种或多种。当上报的是联合信道测量结果时,可以像前文那样包括第一部分和第二部分,也可以只包括一个部分,其中包括一个资源对的信息,两个RI信息、两个LI信息、两个PMI信息和一个或两个CQI信息等中的一种或多种。可选的,单信道测量结果或联合信道测量结果具体包括一个部分还是两个部分可以通过信道测量的频域粒度来确定。频域粒度为宽带时可以采用一个部分,频域粒度为子带时可以采用两个部分。
在另一种示例中,终端设备上报Y组联合信道测量结果和X组单信道测量结果时,各个单信道测量结果可以像前文那样包括第一部分和第二部分,也可以只包括一个部分,其中包括一个信道测量资源的信息,一个RI信息、一个LI信息、一个PMI信息和一个CQI信息等中的一种或多种。各个联合信道测量结果可以像前文那样包括第一部分和第二部分,也可以只包括一个部分,其中包括一个资源对的信息,两个RI信息、两个LI信息、两个PMI信息和一个或两个CQI信息等中的一种或多种。可选的,单信道测量结果或联合信道测量结果具体包括一个部分还是两个部分可以通过信道测量的频域粒度来确定。频域粒度为宽带时可以采用一个部分,频域粒度为子带时可以采用两个部分。
可以规定,如果上报多组测量结果,多组测量结果的频域粒度配置应该是相同的。或者,多组测量结果要么都只包括一个部分,要么都包括两个部分。
联合信道测量结果还可以包括联合信道信息。同单信道信息一样,联合信道信息可以只包括一部分,也可以包括第一部分和第二部分两部分。当联合信道信息只包括一部分时,联合信道信息可以包括至少两个CRI、至少两个RI、至少两个LI、至少两个PMI和至少一个或两个CQI。当联合信道信息包括两部分时,第一部分可以包括至少两个CRI、至少两个RI、第一个码字的CQI(包括宽带CQI和子带CQI),第二部分可以进一步分为宽带信息和子带信息。第二部分中的宽带信息可以包括第二个码字的宽带CQI信息、至少两个LI、至少两个宽带PMI信息。第二部分中的子带信息可以包括第二个码字的子带CQI信息、至少两个子带PMI信息。
当终端设备要同时上报多组信道信息时,例如,上报一组联合信道信息和至少一组单信道信息,上述多个部分可以采用以下划分方式。方式一:多组信道信息可以分别进行划分。例如,每组信道信息分别划分为至少两个部分,每个部分包括的内容同上述单信道信息或联合信道信息相同。方式二:多组信道信息合并在一起进行划分。例如,将各组信道信息的第一部分合并在一起作为一部分,将各组信道信息的第二部分合并在一起作为另一部分。
由于上行传输资源有限,或者为了节约上行传输资源,以致终端设备不能上报第一测量结果中的所有测量结果的情况下,终端设备可以从第一测量结果中选取上报优先级较高的测量结果进行上报。
第一测量结果包括的不同组测量结果之间存在上报优先级。第一测量结果可以包括至少一组联合信道测量结果和/或至少一组单信道测量结果,至少一组联合信道测量结果和/或至少一组单信道测量结果之间存在第一上报优先级。当上述多个信道测量资源对应两组信道测量资源时,至少一组联合信道测量结果与第一资源对包括的资源对一一对应,即至少一组联合信道测量结果中的每组联合信道测量结果对应第一资源对中的一个资源对;至少一组单信道测量结果中每组单信道测量结果对应上述两组信道测量资源中的一组信道测量资源。至少一组联合信道测量结果和/或至少一组单信道测量结果之间存在第一上报优先级,可以理解为至少一组联合信道测量结果和至少一组单信道测量结果之间存在第一上报优先级,也可以理解为至少一组联合信道测量结果之间存在第一上报优先级,还可以理解为至少一组单信道测量结果之间存在第一上报优先级。
至少一组单信道测量结果之间的第一上报优先级,可以按照对应测量资源组的配置顺序确定,可以为配置顺序越靠前对应的上报优先级越高,也可以为配置顺序越靠后对应的上报优先级越低。例如,信道测量资源集合包括信道测量资源{1,2,3,4,5},第一组信道测量资源为{1,2,3},第二组信道测量资源为{4,5},第一组信道测量资源对应的一组单信道测量结果的上报优先级可以高于第二组信道测量资源对应的一组单信道测量结果的上报优先级,第一组信道测量资源对应的一组单信道测量结果的上报优先级也可以低于第二组信道测量资源对应的一组单信道测量结果的上报优先级。
至少一组单信道测量结果之间的第一上报优先级,也可以按照信道测量结果对应的信道测量资源的配置顺序或索引值大小关系确定,可以为对应的信道测量资源的配置顺序越靠前或索引值越小的信道测量结果对应的上报优先级越高,也可以为对应的信道测量资源的配置顺序越靠前或索引值越小的信道测量结果对应的上报优先级越低。例如,信道测量资源集合包括信道测量资源{1,2,3,4,5},要上报的两组单信道测量结果对应的信道测量资源分别为1和2。如果按照单信道测量结果对应的信道测量资源的配置顺序越靠前的上报优先级越高,那么第一组单信道测量结果对应的上报优先级较高。反之则第二组单信道测量结果对应的上报优先级较高。如果按照单信道测量结果对应的信道测量资源的索引值越小上报优先级越高,那么第一组单信道信道测量结果对应的上报优先级较高。反之则第二组单信道信道测量结果对应的上报优先级较高。
至少一组单信道测量结果之间的第一上报优先级,也可以按照每组测量结果对应的CQI确定。当至少一组单信道测量结果中的两组单信道测量结果对应的CQI不同时,CQI较高的一组单信道测量结果具有更高的上报优先级。可以理解为不同组单信道测量结果中CQI越大对应的上报优先级越高。当至少一组单信道测量结果中的两组单信道测量结果对应的CQI相同时,两组单信道测量结果的上报优先级可以按照这两组单信道测量结果对应的两组信道测量资源的配置顺序确定,或者按照两组信道测量结果对应的信道测量资源的配置顺序或索引大小关系确定。可见,不同组单信道测量结果之间的上报优先级,可以先按照对应的CQI确定,当存在相同的CQI时,可以再按照对应的信道测量资源的配置顺序确定。
至少一组联合信道测量结果之间的第一上报优先级,可以按照对应资源对(或资源组合)的配置顺序确定,可以为配置顺序越靠前对应的上报优先级越高,也可以为配置顺序越靠后对应的上报优先级越低。例如,终端设备可以确定第二比特位图中越靠前的比特对应的资源对的上报优先级越大,也可以确定第二比特位图中越靠后的比特对应的资源对的上报优先级越大。
至少一组联合信道测量结果之间的第一上报优先级,也可以按照每组测量结果对应的CQI确定。当至少一组联合信道测量结果中的两组联合信道测量结果对应的CQI不同时,CQI较高的一组联合信道测量结果具有更高的上报优先级。当至少一组联合信道测量结果中的两组联合信道测量结果对应的CQI相同时,两组联合信道测量结果的上报优先级可以按照这两组联合信道测量结果对应的资源对(或资源组合)的配置顺序确定。可见,不同组联合信道测量结果之间的上报优先级,可以先按照对应的CQI确定,当存在相同的CQI时,可以再按照对应的资源对(或资源组合)的配置顺序确定。
至少一组联合信道测量结果和至少一组单信道测量结果的第一上报优先级,可以先确定联合信道测量结果与单信道测量结果之间的上报优先级。例如,至少一组联合信道测量结果的上报优先级可以低于至少一组单信道测量结果的上报优先级,至少一组联合信道测量结果的上报优先级可以高于至少一组单信道测量结果的上报优先级,至少一组联合信道测量结果 的上报优先级可以介于至少一组单信道测量结果的上报优先级之间。例如,需要上报一组联合信道测量结果和两组单信道测量结果时,联合信道测量结果的上报优先级可以介于两组单信道测量结果之间。之后可以根据上述确定单信道测量结果的上报优先级的方式,确定至少一组单信道测量结果之间的上报优先级。可以根据上述确定联合信道测量结果的上报优先级的方式,确定至少一组联合信道测量结果之间的上报优先级。
至少一组联合信道测量结果和至少一组单信道测量结果的第一上报优先级,也可以按照每组测量结果对应的CQI确定。终端设备可以先确定至少一组联合信道测量结果和至少一组单信道测量结果中每组测量结果对应的CQI,之后可以根据对应的CQI确定至少一组联合信道测量结果和至少一组单信道测量结果的上报优先级。CQI越大对应的上报优先级越高。当两组单信道测量结果对应的CQI相同时,两组单信道测量结果的上报优先级可以按照这两组单信道测量结果对应的两组信道测量资源的配置顺序确定。当两组联合信道测量结果对应的CQI相同时,两组联合信道测量结果的上报优先级可以按照这两组联合信道测量结果对应的资源对(或资源组合)的配置顺序确定。当一组单信道测量结果对应的CQI与一组联合信道测量结果对应的CQI相同时,可以为单信道测量结果的上报优先级高于联合信道测量结果的上报优先级,也可以为联合信道测量结果的上报优先级高于单信道测量结果的上报优先级。
至少一组联合信道测量结果和至少一组单信道测量结果的第一上报优先级,还可以先按照传输模式确定联合信道测量结果与单行道测量结果之间的上报优先级,之后可以根据上述确定单信道测量结果的上报优先级的方式确定至少一组单信道测量结果之间的上报优先级,以及可以根据上述确定联合信道测量结果的上报优先级的方式确定至少一组联合信道测量结果之间的上报优先级。当传输模式为单TRP模式时,单行道测量结果的上报优先级高于联合信道测量结果的上报优先级。当传输模式为多TRP模式时,联合信道测量结果的上报优先级高于单行道测量结果的上报优先级。单TRP模式可以理解为网络侧采用单个TRP与终端设备进行通信。例如,为物理下行共享信道(physical downlink shared channel,PDSCH)激活的TCI-state都是单个TCI-state,没有TCI-state组。多TRP模式可以理解为网络侧采用多个TRP与终端设备进行通信。例如,为PDSCH激活的TCI-state包括TCI-state组。TCI-state组是指包括多个TCI-state的TCI-state组,每个TCI-state对应一个TRP,PDSCH采用该TCI-state组进行传输即为多TRP传输。
每组测量结果对应的CQI可以为每组测量结果中每个测量结果对应的CQI中最大的CQI,也可以为每组测量结果中每个测量结果对应的CQI中最小的CQI,还可以为每组测量结果中所有测量结果对应的CQI的平均值(或加权平均值),还可以为每组测量结果中所有测量结果对应的CQI的和(或加权和)或乘积,还可以为每组测量结果中所有测量结果对应的CQI的方差,还可以为通过其它方式根据每组测量结果中所有测量结果对应的CQI确定的值。
当测量结果为单信道测量结果,且单信道信息只包括一部分时,单信道测量结果对应的CQI可以为这一部分包括的CQI。当测量结果为单信道测量结果,且单信道信息包括两部分时,单信道测量结果对应的CQI可以为第一部分包括的CQI,也可以为第二部分包括的宽带CQI,还可以为第二部分包括的子带CQI,还可以为根据第二部分包括的宽带CQI和子带CQI确定的值,还可以为根据第一部分包括的CQI以及第二部分包括的宽带CQI和/或子带CQI确定的值。
当测量结果为联合信道测量结果,且联合信道信息只包括一部分时,联合信道测量结果对应的CQI可以为这一部分包括的CQI。当测量结果为联合信道测量结果,且联合信道信息包括两部分时,联合信道测量结果对应的CQI可以为第一部分包括的CQI,也可以为第二部分包括的宽带CQI,还可以为第二部分包括的子带CQI,还可以为根据第二部分包括的宽带CQI和 子带CQI确定的值,还可以为根据第一部分包括的CQI以及第二部分包括的宽带CQI和/或子带CQI确定的值。
联合信道测量结果为通过一个资源对测量得到的,对应的是该资源对中的两个信道测量资源的信道测量结果,例如两个RI,两个PMI,两个LI等。这两个信道测量资源分别属于两组信道测量资源,因此一组联合信道测量结果可以进一步细分为两组测量结果,每组测量结果对应一个信道测量资源或对应一组信道测量资源。这两组测量结果之间也可以存在上报优先级,如第一组信道测量资源对应的测量结果的上报优先级高于第二组信道测量资源对应的测量结果的上报优先级。又例如,第一组信道测量资源对应的测量结果的上报优先级低于第二组信道测量资源对应的测量结果的上报优先级。
上述第一上报优先级也可以由无线接入网设备通过RRC信令,媒体访问控制(media access control,MAC)控制单元(control element,CE)信令或下行控制信息(downlink control information,DCI)信令进行指示,或者由终端设备上报。
当信道测量的频域粒度为子带时,第一测量结果中同一组测量结果中偶数子带对应测量结果和奇数子带对应测量结果之间存在第三上报优先级。终端设备可以先按照上述第一上报优先级确定第一测量结果包括的至少一组测量结果之间的上报优先级,之后可以再按照第三上报优先级确定至少一组测量结果中每组测量结果包括的偶数子带对应测量结果和奇数子带对应测量结果之间的上报优先级。终端设备也可以先按照按照第三上报优先级确定偶数子带对应测量结果和奇数子带对应测量结果之间的上报优先级,然后再按照第一上报优先级确定偶数子带对应测量结果中属于各组测量结果的那部分测量结果之间的上报优先级,以及奇数子带对应测量结果中属于各组测量结果的那部分测量结果之间的上报优先级。第三上报优先级可以为偶数子带对应的测量结果的上报优先级高于奇数子带的测量结果的上报优先级,也可以为偶数子带对应的测量结果的上报优先级低于奇数子带的测量结果的上报优先级。可选的,可以进一步限定偶数子带对应测量结果为上报格式中第二部分包括的子带级测量结果中偶数子带对应测量结果,奇数子带对应测量结果为上报格式中第二部分包括的子带级测量结果中奇数子带对应测量结果。上述按照第一上报优先级确定第一测量结果包括的至少一组测量结果之间的上报优先级,还可以包括:如果一组信道测量结果为联合信道测量结果,可以进一步按照前文所述的方法对该组联合信道测量结果中的两组测量结果(即与两个信道测量资源,或两组信道测量资源分别对应的那两部分测量结果进行上报优先级排序)。
例如,联合信道测量结果的上报优先级高于单信道测量结果的上报优先级,偶数子带的测量结果的上报优先级高于奇数子带的测量结果的上报优先级。例如,第一上报优先级和第三上报优先级可以采用表1所示的方式进行配合,从而决定各组测量结果的上报优先级。
上报优先级 测量结果
1 联合信道测量结果中偶数子带的测量结果
2 联合信道测量结果中奇数子带的测量结果
3 单信道测量结果中偶数子带的测量结果
4 单信道测量结果中奇数子带的测量结果
表1
又例如,第一上报优先级和第三上报优先级可以采用表2所示的方式进行配合,从而决定各组测量结果的上报优先级。
上报优先级 测量结果
1 联合信道测量结果中偶数子带的测量结果
2 单信道测量结果中偶数子带的测量结果
3 联合信道测量结果中奇数子带的测量结果
4 单信道测量结果中奇数子带的测量结果
表2
无线接入网设备可以配置终端设备同时进行多种测量。例如,本小区信道测量、其他小区信道测量、CQI测量、RSRP测量等。每种测量相关的参数(如信道测量资源,频域粒度等)配置在一个单独的配置信息中。多个配置信息对应的测量结果可以在不同时间上报,也可以在同一时间采用相同上行传输进行上报。上行传输可以为物理上行控制信道(physical uplink control channel,PUCCH),也可以为物理上行共享信道(physical uplink shared channel,PUSCH)。
当多个配置信息(即多个上报配置)对应的测量结果需要通过一次上行传输进行上报时,如果上行传输资源有限,无法传输所有配置信息对应的测量结果,则终端设备可以按照配置信息包括的上报配置信息对应的上报优先级对不同配置信息对应的测量结果进行排序,可以放弃上报优先级较低的上报配置信息对应的测量结果,以便可以保证上报优先级高的上报配置信息对应的测量结果的上报。
下面以两个配置信息为例进行说明,但不对配置信息的数量进行限定。
无线接入网设备可以向终端设备发送第二配置信息,第一配置信息与第二配置信息不同。终端设备可以接收来自无线接入网设备的第二配置信息,之后可以根据第二配置信息进行信道测量得到第二测量结果。第一测量结果与第二测量结果之间存在第二上报优先级。终端设备需要通过一次上行传输上报第一测量结果和第二测量结果时,可以先按照第二上报优先级确定第一测量结果对应的第一上报配置信息和第二测量结果对应的第二上报配置信息对应的上报优先级,即确定第一测量结果与第二测量结果之间的上报优先级,然后对应每个上报配置,进一步按照第一上报优先级确定每个上报配置对应的多组测量结果之间的上报优先级,即按照第一上报优先级分别确定第一测量结果和第二测量结果包括的至少两组测量结果之间的上报优先级。上述按照第一上报优先级确定第一测量结果包括的至少一组测量结果之间的上报优先级,还可以包括:如果一组信道测量结果为联合信道测量结果,可以进一步按照前文所述的方法对该组联合信道测量结果中的两组测量结果(即与两个信道测量资源,或两组信道测量资源分别对应的那两部分测量结果进行上报优先级排序)。
例如,上报配置1的上报优先级高于上报配置2,上报配置2的上报优先级高于上报配置3,以此类推。联合信道测量结果的上报优先级高于单信道测量结果的上报优先级。第一上报优先级和第二上报优先级可以采用表3所示的方式进行配合,从而决定各个上报配置中不同信道测量结果的上报优先级。
上报优先级 测量结果
1 上报配置1的联合信道测量结果
2 上报配置1的单信道测量结果
3 上报配置2的联合信道测量结果
4 上报配置2的单信道测量结果
2n-1 上报配置n的联合信道测量结果
2n 上报配置n的单信道测量结果
表3
当多个上报配置对应的测量结果需要通过一次上行传输进行上报时,有的上报配置可能包括多组测量结果,并且有的测量结果的频域粒度为子带,这时需要同时根据上述三种上报优先级来综合确定各个上报配置中每个上报配置中的各组测量结果,以及每个信道测量结果中奇偶子带对应的信道测量结果之间的上报优先级。终端设备可以先按照第二上报优先级确定多个上报配置对应的测量结果之间的优先级,然后对与每个上报配置可以进一步按照第一上报优先级确定每个上报配置对应的多组测量结果之间的上报优先级,最后对于每组测量结果可以按照第三上报优先级确定该组测量结果中奇数子带与偶数子带对应的测量结果之间的上报优先级。终端设备也可以先按照第二上报优先级确定多个上报配置对应的测量结果之间的上报优先级,然后对与每个上报配置可以进一步按照第三上报优先级确定偶数子带对应测量结果和奇数子带对应测量结果之间的上报优先级,然后再按照第一上报优先级确定偶数子带对应测量结果中属于各组测量结果的那部分测量结果之间的上报优先级,以及奇数子带对应测量结果中属于各组测量结果的那部分测量结果之间的上报优先级。上述按照第一上报优先级确定第一测量结果包括的至少一组测量结果之间的上报优先级,还可以包括:如果一组信道测量结果为联合信道测量结果,可以进一步按照前文所述的方法对该组联合信道测量结果中的两组测量结果(即与两个信道测量资源,或两组信道测量资源分别对应的那两部分测量结果进行上报优先级排序)。
例如,上报配置1的上报优先级高于上报配置2,上报配置2的上报优先级高于上报配置3,以此类推。联合信道测量结果的上报优先级高于单信道测量结果的上报优先级。偶数子带的测量结果的上报优先级高于奇数子带的测量结果的上报优先级。三种上报优先级可以采用表4所示的方式进行配合,从而决定各个上报配置中各组信道测量结果的上报优先级。
上报优先级 测量结果
1 上报配置1的联合信道测量结果的偶数子带的测量结果
2 上报配置1的联合信道测量结果的奇数子带的测量结果
3 上报配置1的单信道测量结果的偶数子带的测量结果
4 上报配置1的单信道测量结果的奇数子带的测量结果
5 上报配置2的联合信道测量结果的偶数子带的测量结果
6 上报配置2的联合信道测量结果的奇数子带的测量结果
7 上报配置2的单信道测量结果的偶数子带的测量结果
8 上报配置2的单信道测量结果的奇数子带的测量结果

4n-1 上报配置n的单信道测量结果的偶数子带的测量结果
4n 上报配置n的单信道测量结果的奇数子带的测量结果
