Description

一种通信方法及通信装置
本申请要求于2021年04月16日提交中国国家知识产权局，申请号为202110414165.3，发明名称为“一种通信方法及通信装置”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
本申请涉及无线通信领域，尤其涉及一种通信方法及通信装置。
背景技术
在通信系统中，天线端口准共址(quasi co-loacted，QCL)是一种天线端口之间的状态假设。如果发射端中的一个天线端口与另一个天线端口QCL，即意味着接收端可以假设从一个天线端口(或者与天线端口对应的无线电信道)接收的信号的大规模特性(或称为无线信道特征)，与从另一个天线端口(或者对应于天线端口的无线信道)接收的信号的大规模特性之间，整体或部分地相同。其中，信号的大规模特性可以包括多普勒偏移、多普勒扩展、平均时延、时延扩展等。
目前，QCL可以应用到天线端口所发射的多种信号中，例如解调参考信号(demodulation deference signal，DMRS)，信道状态信息参考信号(channel state information reference signal，CSI-RS)等。
以DMRS为例，发射端可以对DMRS码分复用(code division multiplexing，CDM)组所包含多个不同的DMRS端口(DMRS port)进行统一的QCL假设，一般地，一个DMRS port对应一个传输层且用于对该传输层进行信道估计。接收端可以基于该统一的QCL假设对该DMRS CDM组中多个DMRS port对应的多个传输层进行信道估计，以实现数据解调。
然而，当接收端设备和发射端设备处于信道具有空间非平稳特征的场景或者多传输点(transmission and reception point，TRP)传输场景时，同一DMRS CDM组的不同传输层对应的DMRS的QCL假设有可能不同，而接收端基于DMRS CDM组的QCL假设进行信道估计的方式，容易造成DMRS的信道估计不准确，继而影响数据解调的效果。
发明内容
本申请实施例提供了一种通信方法及通信装置，用于支持对不同的参考信号端口的QCL信息进行灵活地配置，提升参考信号端口对传输层进行信道估计或信道测量的成功率，提升通信效率。

具体实施方式
下面将结合本申请实施例中的附图，对本申请实施例中的技术方案进行描述，显然，所描述的实施例仅仅是本申请一部分实施例，而不是全部的实施例。基于本申请中的实施例，本领域普通技术人员在没有做出创造性劳动前提下所获得的所有其他实施例，都属于本申请保护的范围。
首先，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)终端设备：可以是能够接收网络设备调度和指示信息的无线终端设备，无线终端设备可以是指向用户提供语音和/或数据连通性的设备，或具有无线连接功能的手持式设备、或连接到无线调制解调器的其他处理设备。
终端设备可以经无线接入网(radio access network，RAN)与一个或多个核心网或者互联网进行通信，终端设备可以是移动终端设备，如移动电话(或称为“蜂窝”电话，手机(mobile phone))、计算机和数据卡，例如，可以是便携式、袖珍式、手持式、计算机内置的或者车载的移动装置，它们与无线接入网交换语言和/或数据。例如，个人通信业务(personal communication service，PCS)电话、无绳电话、会话发起协议(SIP)话机、无线本地环路(wireless local loop，WLL)站、个人数字助理(personal digital assistant，PDA)、平板电脑(Pad)、带无线收发功能的电脑等设备。无线终端设备也可以称为系统、订户单元(subscriber unit)、订户站(subscriber station)，移动站(mobile station)、移动台(mobile station，MS)、远程站(remote station)、接入点(access point，AP)、远程终端设备(remote terminal)、接入终端设备(access terminal)、用户终端设备(user terminal)、用户代理(user agent)、用户站(subscriber station，SS)、用户端设备(customer premises equipment，CPE)、终端(terminal)、用户设备(user equipment，UE)、移动终端(mobile terminal，MT)等。终端设备也可以是可穿戴设备以及下一代通信系统，例如，5G通信系统中的终端设备或者未来演进的公共陆地移动网络(public land mobile network，PLMN)中的终端设备等。
(2)网络设备：可以是无线网络中的设备，例如网络设备可以为将终端设备接入到无线网络的无线接入网(radio access network，RAN)节点(或设备)，又可以称为基站。目前，一些RAN设备的举例为：5G通信系统中的新一代基站(generation Node B，gNodeB)、传输接收点(transmission reception point，TRP)、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 Node B，或home Node B，HNB)、基带单元(base band unit，BBU)，或无线保真(wireless fidelity，Wi-Fi)接入点(access point，AP)等。另外，在一种网络结构中，网络设备可以包括集中单元(centralized unit，CU)节点、或分布单元(distributed unit，DU)节点、或包括CU节点和DU节点的RAN设备。
其中，网络设备能够向终端设备发送配置信息(例如承载于调度消息和/或指示消息中)，终端设备进一步根据该配置信息进行网络配置，使得网络设备与终端设备之间的网络配置 对齐；或者，通过预设于网络设备的网络配置以及预设于终端设备的网络配置，使得网络设备与终端设备之间的网络配置对齐。具体来说，“对齐”是指网络设备与终端设备之间存在交互消息时，两者对于交互消息收发的载波频率、交互消息类型的确定、交互消息中所承载的字段信息的含义、或者是交互消息的其它配置的理解一致。
此外，在其它可能的情况下，网络设备可以是其它为终端设备提供无线通信功能的装置。本申请的实施例对网络设备所采用的具体技术和具体设备形态不做限定。为方便描述，本申请实施例并不限定。
网络设备还可以包括核心网设备，核心网设备例如包括访问和移动管理功能(access and mobility management function，AMF)、用户面功能(user plane function，UPF)或会话管理功能(session management function，SMF)等。
本申请实施例中，用于实现网络设备的功能的装置可以是网络设备，也可以是能够支持网络设备实现该功能的装置，例如芯片系统，该装置可以被安装在网络设备中。在本申请实施例提供的技术方案中，以用于实现网络设备的功能的装置是网络设备为例，描述本申请实施例提供的技术方案。
(3)配置与预配置：在本申请中，会同时用到配置与预配置。配置是指基站或服务器等网络设备通过消息或信令将一些参数的配置信息或参数的取值发送给终端，以便终端根据这些取值或信息来确定通信的参数或传输时的资源。预配置与配置类似，它可以是基站或服务器等网络设备通过通信链路或载波把参数信息或取值发送给终端的方式；也可以是将相应的参数或参数值定义(例如，在标准中明确规定参数的取值)出来，或通过提前将相关的参数或取值写到终端设备中的方式，本申请对此不做限定。进一步地，这些取值和参数，是可以变化或更新的。
(4)DMRS端口指示：网络设备在调度数据，如调度物理下行共享信道(physical downlink shared channel，PDSCH)数据时，需要指示相应的DMRS端口，包括DMRS端口数以及DMRS端口号，不同DMRS端口号对应的DMRS端口所占用的物理资源是正交的，物理资源包括空间资源、时域资源和频域资源中的一个或者多个。其中，DMRS端口数等于PDSCH数据的传输层数，且各个DMRS端口与各个传输层一一对应，解调某个传输层需要在相对应的DMRS端口上执行信道估计。不同的终端设备若占用相同时频资源传输PDSCH数据，则需要网络设备分配不同的DMRS端口号保证DMRS正交。
(5)多站点协作传输机制：下行传输中，终端设备可以同时与至少一个网络设备通信，即同时接收多个网络设备的数据，该传输模式被称为多站点协作传输(coordinated multiple points transmission/reception，CoMP)。所述至少一个网络设备组成一个协作集与该终端设备同时进行通信。协作集内的网络设备可以各自连接不同的控制节点，各个控制节点之间可以进行信息交互，比如交互调度策略信息以达成协作传输的目的，或者，协作集内的网络设备均连接同一个控制节点，该控制节点接收协作集内的网络设备收集的终端设备上报的信道状态信息(比如CSI或者RSRP)，并根据协作集内所有终端设备的信道状态信息对协作集内的终端设备进行统一调度，再将调度策略交互给与其连接的网络设备，再由各个网络设通过物理下行控制信道(physical downlink control channel，PDCCH) 承载的下行控制信息(download control information，DCI)信令分别通知各自的终端设备。根据协作集内多个网络设备的对某个终端设备的传输策略，CoMP传输模式可以包括：
动态传输节点切换(dynamic point switching，DPS)：针对某个终端设备进行数据传输的网络设备动态变化，尽量选择信道条件较好的网络设备进行当前终端设备的数据调度，即多个网络设备分时为某个终端设备传输数据；
非相干传输(non-coherent joint transmission，NC-JT)：多个网络设备同时为某个终端设备传输数据，且多个网络设备的天线进行独立预编码，即每个网络设备独立选择最优预编码矩阵进行该网络设备天线之间的联合相位和幅度加权，此机制不需要多个网络设备的天线进行相位校准；
相干传输(coherent joint transmission，CJT)：多个网络设备同时为某个终端设备传输数据，且多个网络设备的天线进行联合预编码，即多个网络设备联合选择最优预编码矩阵进行多个网络设备天线之间的联合相位和幅度加权，此机制需要多个网络设备的天线进行相位校准；
协作集内的网络设备中存在一个服务网络设备，例如服务基站(serving TRP)/服务小区(serving cell)，服务基站的作用是对该终端设备进行数据通信的调度决策，与该终端设备进行MAC层和物理层通信，比如根据调度决策确定该终端设备的控制信道(PDCCH)和数据信道(PUSCH/PDSCH)的时频资源，并在PDCCH中发送DCI信令，在PUSCH/PDSCH中发送数据，发送参考信号(reference signal，RS)等等。协作集内除了服务基站之外，其余的网络设备被称为协作基站(coordinate TRP)/协作小区(coordinate TRP)，协作基站的作用是根据服务基站的调度决策与该终端设备进行物理层通信，比如根据服务基站的调度决策在PDCCH中发送DCI信令，在PUSCH/PDSCH中发送数据，发送RS等等。例如，服务基站为TRP1，协作基站为TRP2，TRP1作为服务基站进行该终端设备的调度决策并发送DCI，所述DCI可以指示调度TRP1/TRP2进行数据传输，也就是该DCI中携带两个TRP的调度信息。
其中，2个TRP传输的PDSCH对应的DMRS端口需要占用不同的CDM组，且每个CDM组/每个PDSCH对应一个传输配置指示(transmission configuration indicator，TCI)状态。TCI状态(TCI-state)用于指示准共站(quasi-co-location，QCL)假设信息(也称为QCL信息)。QCL假设信息用于辅助描述终端设备接收侧波束赋形信息以及接收流程。当前标准中定义了四种类型的QCL假设信息，所述四种类型的QCL假设信息为：QCL类型(types)A：多普勒偏移(doppler shift)、多普勒扩展(doppler spread)、平均信道时延(average delay)、时延扩展(delay spread)；QCL types B：doppler shift、doppler spread；QCL types C：average delay、doppler shift；QCL types D：空间接收参数(spatial rx parameter)。其中，为了节省网络设备对终端设备的QCL信息指示开销，PDSCH或者PDCCH的QCL信息指示是通过指示PDCCH(或者PDSCH)的DM-RS端口与某一个或多个参考信号资源中满足QCL假设关系，从而可以通过该关联的一个或者多个参考信号资源获得上述QCL信息并采用该信息接收PDSCH或者PDCCH。如，该参考信号可以是信道状态信息参考信号(channel state information reference signal，CSI-RS)，同时，上述DM-RS和CSI-RS具有相同的QCLType D假设，则此时上述DM-RS和CSI-RS具有相同的接收波束，从而基于 关联的参考信号资源索引，UE可推断出接收PDCCH(或者PDSCH)的接收波束信息。这些QCL信息为空间特性参数，描述了相关联的两种参考信号包含的天线端口间的空间信道特性，有助于终端设备根据该QCL信息完成接收侧波束赋形或接收处理过程。
(6)在本申请中，“用于指示”可以包括用于直接指示和用于间接指示。当描述某一指示信息用于指示A时，可以理解为该指示信息携带A、直接指示A或间接指示A。
本申请中，指示信息所指示的信息，称为待指示信息。在具体实现过程中，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。
待指示信息可以作为一个整体一起发送，也可以分成多个子信息分开发送，而且这些子信息的发送周期和/或发送时机可以相同，也可以不同。具体发送方法本申请不进行限定。其中，这些子信息的发送周期和/或发送时机可以是预先定义的，例如根据协议预先定义的，也可以是发射端设备通过向接收端设备发送配置信息来配置的。其中，该配置信息可以例如但不限于包括无线资源控制信令、媒体接入控制(media access control，MAC)层信令和物理层信令中的一种或者至少两种的组合。其中，无线资源控制信令例如包无线资源控制(radio resource control，RRC)信令；MAC层信令例如包括MAC控制元素(control element，CE)；物理层信令例如包括下行控制信息(downlink control information，DCI)。
(7)本申请实施例中的术语“系统”和“网络”可被互换使用。“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中的至少一个”包括A，B，C，AB，AC，BC或ABC。以及，除非有特别说明，本申请实施例提及“第一”、“第二”等序数词是用于对多个对象进行区分，不用于限定多个对象的顺序、时序、优先级或者重要程度。
本申请可以应用于长期演进(long term evolution，LTE)系统、新无线(new radio，NR)系统，或者是其它的通信系统，其中，该通信系统中包括网络设备和终端设备，网络设备作为配置信息发送实体，终端设备作为配置信息接收实体。具体来说，该通信系统中存在实体向另一实体发送配置信息，并向另一实体发送数据、或接收另一实体发送的数据；另一个实体接收配置信息，并根据配置信息向配置信息发送实体发送数据、或接收配置信息发送实体发送的数据。其中，本申请可应用于处于连接状态或激活状态(ACTIVE)的终端设备、也可以应用于处于非连接状态(INACTIVE)或空闲态(IDLE)的终端设备。
请参阅图1，为本申请中通信系统的一种示意图。图1中，示例性的示出了一个网络设备101和6个终端设备，6个终端设备分别为终端设备1、终端设备2、终端设备3、终端设备4、终端设备5以及终端设备6等。在图1所示的示例中，是以终端设备1为智能 茶杯，终端设备2为智能空调，终端设备3为智能加油机，终端设备4为交通工具，终端设备5为手机，终端设备6为为打印机进行举例说明的。其中，发射端可以为网络设备也可以为终端设备，接收端可以为网络设备也可以为终端设备。
如图1所示，配置信息发送实体可以为网络设备，其中，网络设备以基站(Base Station)、各个终端设备为UE为例进行说明，配置信息接收实体可以为UE1-UE6，此时，基站和UE1-UE6组成一个通信系统，在该通信系统中，UE1-UE6可以发送上行数据给网络设备，网络设备需要接收UE1-UE6发送的上行数据。同时，网络设备可以向UE1-UE6发送配置信息。
此外，在图1中，UE4-UE6也可以组成一个通信系统，此时，配置信息发送实体和接收实体可以都是UE，其中，UE5作为网络设备，即配置信息发送实体；UE4和UE6作为终端设备，即配置信息接收实体。例如车联网系统中，UE5分别向UE4和UE6发送配置信息，并且接收UE4和UE6发送的上行数据；相应的，UE4和UE6接收UE5发送的配置信息，并向UE5发送上行数据。
以图1所示通信系统为例，在通信系统中，天线端口准共址(quasi co-loacted，QCL)是一种天线端口之间的状态假设。如果发射端中的一个天线端口与另一个天线端口QCL，即意味着接收端可以假设从一个天线端口(或者与天线端口对应的无线电信道)接收的信号的大规模特性(或称为无线信道特征)，与从另一个天线端口(或者对应于天线端口的无线信道)接收的信号的大规模特性之间，整体或部分地相同。其中，信号的大规模特性可以包括多普勒偏移、多普勒扩展、平均时延、时延扩展等。
目前，QCL可以应用到天线端口所发射的多种信号中，例如解调参考信号(demodulation deference signal，DMRS)，信道状态信息参考信号(channel state information reference signal，CSI-RS)等。以DMRS为例，发射端可以对DMRS码分复用(code division multiplexing，CDM)组所包含多个不同的DMRS端口(DMRS port)进行统一的QCL假设，一般地，一个DMRS port对应一个传输层且用于对该传输层进行信道估计。接收端可以基于该统一的QCL假设对该DMRS CDM组中多个DMRS port对应的多个传输层进行信道估计，以实现数据解调。
然而，当接收端设备和发射端设备处于信道具有空间非平稳特征的场景或者多TRP传输场景时，同一DMRS CDM组的不同传输层对应的DMRS的QCL假设有可能不同(对应不同的DMRS CDM组的不同传输层的QCL假设也有可能不同)，下面将以常见的两种场景作为示例进行性说明。
例如，在超大孔径阵列(extremely large aperture array，ELAA)中，由于天线孔径较大，不同的信道之间具有空间非平稳特征，这使每个天线看到的散射体(多径)不完全相同。
以图2作为ELAA的实现示例，在图2中，发射端为网络设备且该网络设备的发射面板包括编号为A1、A2、A3的面板，接收端包括编号为T1、T2、T3的终端设备(Terminal)。当发射端和接收端处于ELAA场景下时，图示中“VR-A1”指示发射面板A1的可见区域(visible region，VR)包括散射体1(cluster 1，记为C1)和散射体2(cluster 2，记为C2)，类似地，“VR-A2”指示发射面板A2的VR包括C2、C3、C4，“VR-A3”指示发射 面板A3的VR包括C4、C5；此外，“VR-T1”指示终端设备T1的VR包括C1、C2，“VR-T2”指示终端设备T2的VR包括C2、C3，“VR-T1”指示终端设备T1的VR包括C4、C5。发射面板1的天线可以看成天线簇1，发射面板2的天线可以看成天线簇2。对于ELAA的数据传输，由于空间非平稳特性，每个天线簇可见的散射体不同，造成不同传输层来自不同的天线簇，这会出现不同DMRS port的信道特征(QCL假设)不同。
又如，在多TRP联合传输的场景，例如非相干传输(non-coherent joint transmission，NC-JT)、相干传输(coherent joint transmission，CJT)场景下，由于资源调度等原因，会出现在调度的频域资源(如资源块组(resource block group，RBG))上，出现不同的传输层从不完全相同的TRP进行联合预编码发出。此时，不同的数据layer对应的DMRS port的QCL假设(信道特征)也会出现不同的情况。
显然，接收端基于DMRS CDM组的QCL假设进行信道估计的方式，容易造成DMRS port的信道估计不准确，继而影响数据解调的效果。类似地，当参考信号端口为其它参考信号端口，例如CSI-RS port时，在上述场景中容易出现信道测量不准确，继而影响数据传输的效果，从而影响通信效率。
为此，本申请实施例提供了一种通信方法及通信装置，基于参考信号端口为设置QCL信息的配置粒度，相比于传统的以DMRS CDM组为QCL信息的配置粒度的方式，可以支持对不同的参考信号端口的QCL信息进行灵活地配置，提升参考信号端口对传输层进行信道估计或信道测量的成功率，提升通信效率。
请参阅图3，为本申请实施例提供的一种通信方法实现的一个示意图，该方法包括如下步骤。
S101.发射端确定第一指示信息。
本实施例中，发射端在步骤S101中确定第一指示信息，该第一指示信息用于对第一参考信号端口进行配置，其中，该配置用于指示该第一参考信号端口的第一QCL信息。
在一种可能的实现方式中，该第一参考信号端口为DMRS端口或CSI-RS端口，或者是其它的参考信号端口，使得方案可以适用于对不同的参考信号端口进行配置。
在一种可能的实现方式中，第一QCL信息由至少一个第一信号的QCL信息确定，该第一信号包括以下至少一项：CSI-RS、同步信号/物理广播信道块(synchronization signal/physical broadcast channel block，SS/PBCH block或SSB)、DMRS，其中，SSB也可以简称为同步信号块或初始接入信号。其中，第一指示信息的配置可以指示第一QCL信息可以由其它信号的QCL信息推到得到，即第一QCL信息可以由至少一个第一信号的QCL信息确定，该第一信号可以为CSI-RS、SSB、DMRS中的至少一项，使得第一QCL信息可以通过多种实现方式灵活配置。下面将对该第一信号的多种不同实现方式进行描述。
方式一、当第一信号包含CSI-RS时，该CSI-RS可以是至少一个CSI-RS port所对应的CSI-RS。其中，至少一个CSI-RS port所对应的CSI-RS可以为某一个CSI-RS资源(CSI-RS resource)中的部分或全部CSI-RS，或者是，至少一个CSI-RS port所对应的CSI-RS可以为某一个CSI-RS资源中的部分或全部CSI-RS与其它CSI-RS资源中的部分或全部CSI-RS的集合，或者是，至少一个CSI-RS port所对应的CSI-RS可以为多个CSI-RS资源中的部 分或全部CSI-RS的集合，此处不做限定。其中，一个CSI-RS资源可以由一个CSI-RS resource标识(CSI-RS resource ID)指示。
在方式一中，如果上述至少一个CSI-RS port为多个CSI-RS port时，可以将该多个CSI-RS port中QCL信息相同的部分或全部CSI-RS port视为同一个CSI-RS port组，也可以将该多个CSI-RS port中某一类型的QCL信息相同的部分或全部CSI-RS port视为同一个CSI-RS port组。相应的，可以将该多个CSI-RS port中QCL信息不同的CSI-RS port之间视为不同的CSI-RS port组，也可以将该多个CSI-RS port中某一类型的QCL信息不同的CSI-RS port之间视为不同的CSI-RS port组。
方式二、当第一信号包含SSB时，该SSB可以是某一个同步信号块索引(SSB index)所指示的SSB，也可以是多个SSB index所指示的SSB集合。
方式三、当第一信号包含DMRS时，该DMRS可以是至少一个DMRS port所对应的DMRS，其中，至少一个DMRS port所对应的DMRS可以为某一个DMRS端口组的部分或全部DMRS，或者是，至少一个DMRS port所对应的DMRS可以为某一个DMRS端口组的部分或全部DMRS与其它DMRS端口组的部分或全部DMRS的集合，或者是，至少一个DMRS port所对应的DMRS可以为多个DMRS端口组的部分或全部DMRS的集合，此处不做限定。其中，DMRS端口组可以是由某个索引或标识指示的，例如，DMRS端口组可以是DMRS CDM组。
在一种可能的实现方式中，步骤S101中的第一指示信息还用于对第二参考信号端口进行配置，该配置还用于指示第二参考信号端口的第二QCL信息。即，第一指示信息还可以对除了第一参考信号端口之外的其它参考信号端口进行QCL配置，例如对第二参考信号端口进行QCL配置。
需要说明的是，第一参考信号端口和第二参考信号端口是不同的参考信号端口，且第一参考信号端口和第二参考信号端口可以是归属于同一个DMRS CDM组，也可以是归属于不同的DMRS CDM组，此处不做限定。
此外，第一指示信息还可以为第二参考信号端口，以及可能存在的第三参考信号端口、第四参考信号端口和其它的参考信号端口进行QCL配置，即该配置指示该第二参考信号端口的第二QCL信息、该第三参考信号端口的第三QCL信息、该第四参考信号端口的第四QCL信息以及其它参考信号端口的其它QCL信息。其中，类似于第一QCL信息由至少一个第一信号的QCL信息确定的实现过程，其它参考信号端口对应的其它QCL信息也可以由至少一个目标信号确定，该目标信号的实现过程可以参考前述第一信号的多种不同实现方式，此处不再赘述。
在一种可能的实现方式中，该第一QCL信息不同于该第二QCL信息。具体地，不同参考信号端口的QCL信息可以是不同的，其中，指示第一参考信号端口所对应无线信道特征的第一QCL信息可以不同于指示第二参考信号端口所对应无线信道特征的第二QCL信息，使得后续接收端可以通过不同的QCL信息分别在不同的参考信号端口对应的传输层进行信道估计或信道解调。
可选地，不同参考信号端口的QCL信息也可以是相同的，即第一QCL信息与第二QCL信息相同。
在一种可能的实现方式中，第一参考信号端口的第一QCL信息包括第一类型的QCL信息。具体地，第一参考信号端口的第一QCL信息可以通过多种类型(type)表示第一参考信号端口所对应的多种无线信道特征，其中，用于对第一参考信号端口进行配置的第一指示信息，具体可以配置第一QCL信息中的至少一个类型的QCL信息，例如第一类型的QCL信息。
类似地，该第一QCL信息中第一类型的QCL信息由至少一个第二信号的QCL信息确定，该第二信号包括以下至少一项：CSI-RS、SSB、DMRS。具体地，第一指示信息的配置可以指示第一QCL信息中某一类型的QCL信息可以由其它信号的QCL信息推到得到，例如第一QCL信息中的第一类型的QCL信息，即第一QCL信息中的第一类型的QCL信息可以由至少一个第二信号的QCL信息确定，该第二信号可以为CSI-RS、SSB、DMRS中的至少一项，使得第一QCL信息中的第一类型的QCL信息可以通过多种实现方式灵活配置。其中，第二信号的多种不同实现方式还可以参考前述第一信号的多种不同实现方式，此处不再赘述。
可选地，第一QCL信息还可以包括其它类型的QCL信息，例如第二类型的QCL信息、第三类型的QCL信息或者其它类型的QCL信息等。其中，第一QCL信息所包含的不同类型的QCL信息可以通过不同的方式进行表示，例如QCL1、QCL2...或者是QCL type 1、QCL type 2...或者是QCL type A、QCL type B...或者是QCL type a、QCL type b...或者是其它方式表示，此处不做限定。
示例性的，不同类型的QCL信息可以包括以下至少参数的不同组合实现，包括：多普勒偏移(doppler shift)、多普勒扩展(doppler spread)、平均信道时延(average delay)、时延扩展(delay spread)、空间接收参数(spatial rx parameter)，或者是其它用于指示无线信道特征的参数，此处不做限定。
在一种可能的实现方式中，第二参考信号端口的第二QCL信息包括第一类型的QCL信息。具体地，第二参考信号端口的第二QCL信息可以通过多种类型表示第二参考信号端口所对应的多种无线信道特征，其中，用于对第二参考信号端口进行配置的第一指示信息，具体可以配置第二QCL信息中的至少一个类型的QCL信息，例如第一类型的QCL信息。
可选地，第二QCL信息还可以包括其它类型的QCL信息，例如第二类型的QCL信息、第三类型的QCL信息或者其它类型的QCL信息等。类似地，其它参考信号端口的QCL信息也可以包含有不同的类型QCL信息，例如可能存在的第三参考信号端口的第三QCL信息等，均可以参考前述第一QCL信息的不同类型的多种实现，此处不再赘述。
在一种可能的实现方式中，该第一QCL信息中第一类型的QCL信息不同于该第二QCL信息中第一类型的QCL信息。具体地，指示第一参考信号端口所对应的某一无线信道特征的第一QCL信息中第一类型的QCL信息，可以不同于指示第二参考信号端口所对应相同无线信道特征的第二QCL信息中第一类型的QCL信息，使得后续接收端可以通过第一类型的不同的QCL信息分别在不同的参考信号端口对应的传输层进行信道估计或信道解调。
可选地，该第一QCL信息中第一类型的QCL信息与该第二QCL信息中第一类型的QCL信息相同。
下面将通过图4所示具体的实现示例对发射端包含有三个参考信号端口(参考信号端 口以DMRS port为示例)以及两个发射面板的场景进行描述，其中，在图4中，第一参考信号端口记为DMRS port a、第二参考信号端口记为DMRS port b、第三参考信号端口记为DMRS port c，且不同参考信号端口的QCL信息通过前述方式一和方式二的实现过程确定。
如图4所示，在发射端中，码字(codeword)经过层映射得到三个传输层，即层1、层2和层3。针对每个传输层有各自的QCL信息(或称为QCL假设)，任意两个QCL信息之间可以相同或不同。其中，层1只通过发射面板1天线预编码形成的端口a(port a)上进行传输，对应第一QCL信息(记为QCL1假设)；层2与层3通过发射面板1与发射面板2天线共同预编码形成的端口b&c(port b&c)上进行传输，即端口b和端口c的QCL信息相同，对应第二QCL信息(记为QCL2假设)。即，DMRS port a的对应发射面板1的信道特征，记为第一QCL信息；DMRS port b和DMRS port c对应发射面板1&2的合信道特征面板1&2，记为第二QCL信息。
需要说明的是，广义上发射面板中用于天线预编码的天线为天线簇的一种，即一个天线簇包含至少一个天线。
在图4中，三个传输层通过DMRS port a、DMRS port b与DMRS port c进行传输，且不同的DMRS port的(某一类型)QCL信息通过其它参考信号的QCL推导得到。示例性的，第一指示信息可以满足如下配置方式：
1)DMRS port a的type A QCL由1个CSI-RS port组X的QCL推导获得；
2)DMRS port b的type A QCL由2个CSI-RS port组Y、Z的QCL一起推导获得；
3)DMRS port c的type A QCL由2个CSI-RS port组Y、Z的QCL一起推导获得；
4)DMRS port b的type B QCL由1个CSI-RS port组Y与SSB(SSB-index H)的QCL一起推导获得；
其中，X、Y、Z为不同的CSI-RS port组编号/标识，H为某一个SSB-index。
此外，对于CSI-RS port组，可以有如下特点：
1)一个CSI-RS port组可以是一个CSI-RS resource(可以由CSI-RS-ResourceId指定)；
2)一个CSI-RS port组可以是一个CSI-RS resource中的一部分CSI-RS port(至少一个CSI-RS port)；
3)同一个QCL type下的用于推导QCL的多个CSI-RS port组可以来自同一或不同的CSI-RS resource)。
在一种可能的实现方式中，该第一参考信号端口包含于第一参考信号端口组，该第一参考信号端口组包括一个或多个参考信号端口，且该一个或多个参考信号端口的QCL信息关联于该第一参考信号端口组。具体地，针对同一参考信号端口组内的一个或多个参考信号端口可以进行相同的QCL信息配置，或者说，将具备相同QCL信息的一个或多个参考信号端口视为同一参考信号端口组，其中，第一参考信号端口组中的一个或多个参考信号端口的QCL信息关联于该第一参考信号端口组，例如关联于该第一参考信号端口组的组标识、组位置、组编号或者其他的信息等。
可选地，第二参考信号端口也可以包含于该第一参考信号端口组中，即第一参考信号 端口的第一QCL信息和第二参考信号端口的第二QCL信息相同，并且与第一参考信号端口组内可能存在的其它参考信号端口的QCL信息相同。
可选地，第二参考信号端口可以包含于其它参考信号端口组，例如第二参考信号端口组，即第一参考信号端口的第一QCL信息和第二参考信号端口的第二QCL信息可以是相同的，也可以是不同的，具体取决于第一参考信号端口组的QCL信息和第二参考信号端口组的QCL信息的配置。
此处仍以图4所示场景作为示例进行说明。
具体地，接收端通过配置或者预配置的方式确定不同参考信号端口组各自所包含的参考信号端口，例如，DMRS port分成DMRS port组A与DMRS port组B，其中，DMRS port组A中所包含的一个或多个DMRS port(例如DMRS port a)均为第一QCL信息，DMRS port组B中所包含的一个或多个DMRS port(例如DMRS port b、DMRS port c)均为第二QCL信息。
在一种可能的实现方式中，该第一参考信号端口包含于第一参考信号端口组，该第一参考信号端口组包括一个或多个参考信号端口，且该一个或多个参考信号端口的同一类型的QCL信息关联于该第一参考信号端口组。具体地，针对同一参考信号端口组内的一个或多个参考信号端口可以进行相同的某一类型的QCL信息配置，或者说，将具备相同的某一类型的QCL信息的一个或多个参考信号端口视为同一参考信号端口组，其中，第一参考信号端口组中的一个或多个参考信号端口中同一类型的QCL信息关联于该第一参考信号端口组，例如关联于该第一参考信号端口组的组标识、组位置、组编号或者其他的信息等。
可选地，第二参考信号端口也可以包含于该第一参考信号端口组中，即第一参考信号端口的第一QCL信息中第一类型的QCL信息和第二参考信号端口的第二QCL信息中第一类型的QCL信息相同，并且与第一参考信号端口组内可能存在的其它参考信号端口的QCL信息中第一类型的QCL信息相同。
可选地，第二参考信号端口可以包含于其它参考信号端口组，例如第二参考信号端口组，即第一参考信号端口的第一QCL信息中第一类型的QCL信息和第二参考信号端口的第二QCL信息中第一类型的QCL信息可以是相同的，也可以是不同的，具体取决于第一参考信号端口组的QCL信息中第一类型的QCL信息和第二参考信号端口组的QCL信息中第一类型的QCL信息的配置。
此处仍以图4所示场景作为示例进行说明。
具体地，接收端通过配置或者预配置的方式确定不同参考信号端口组各自所包含的参考信号端口，例如，DMRS port分成DMRS port组C与DMRS port组D，其中，DMRS port组C中所包含的一个或多个DMRS port(例如DMRS port a)均为第一QCL信息中type A QCL信息，DMRS port组D中所包含的一个或多个DMRS port(例如DMRS port b、DMRS port c)均为第二QCL信息中type A QCL信息。
以上type A仅为示例，还可以是type B，type C，type D等其他定义的类型中的一个或多个，对应的实现过程可以参考前述type A的实现示例，此处不再赘述。
S102.发射端向接收端发送第一指示信息。
本实施例中，发射端在步骤S102中向接收端发送步骤S101确定得到的第一指示信息，相应的，接收端在步骤S102中接收得到发射端发送的第一指示信息。
S103.接收端根据第一指示信息确定第一QCL信息。
本实施例中，接收端根据步骤S102中接收得到的第一指示信息确定该第一QCL信息。
在一种可能的实现方式中，如果第一指示信息还用于对第二参考信号端口进行配置，该配置还用于指示第二参考信号端口的第二QCL信息。那么接收端还可以根据第一指示信息确定第二QCL信息。下文其他实施例皆同理，下文不再赘述。
基于图3所示实现方式，发射端向接收端发送用于对第一参考信号端口进行QCL配置的第一指示信息，使得接收端可以根据第一QCL信息在第一参考信号端口在对应的传输层进行信道估计或信道解调。相比于传统的以DMRS CDM组为QCL信息的配置粒度的方式，基于参考信号端口为设置QCL信息的配置粒度，相当于基于传输层配置QCL关系，可以支持对不同的参考信号端口的QCL信息进行灵活地配置，提升参考信号端口对传输层进行信道估计或信道测量的成功率，提升通信效率。
进一步地，发射端还可以基于不同的传输层中多个参考信号端口的QCL信息(或者QCL信息中某一类型的QCL信息)配置频域资源，或者为不同的传输层中多个参考信号端口组的QCL信息(或者QCL信息中某一类型的QCL信息)配置频域资源，下面将分别通过图5a、图5b、图6a和图6b进行详细介绍。
请参阅图5a，为本申请实施例提供的一种通信方法的另一种示意图，该方法包括如下步骤。
S201.发射端确定第一指示信息和第二指示信息；
本实施例中，发射端在步骤S201中确定第一指示信息和第二指示信息，该第一指示信息用于对第一参考信号端口进行配置，其中，该配置用于指示该第一参考信号端口的第一QCL信息；该第二指示信息用于指示该第一QCL信息对应的频域资源。
