测量干扰的方法和装置
本申请要求于2021年8月31日提交中国国家知识产权局、申请号为202111012315.4、申请名称为“测量干扰的方法和装置”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
本申请涉及通信领域，特别涉及通信领域中的测量干扰的方法和装置。
背景技术
近年来，多用户多输入多输出(multi-user multiple-input multiple-output，MU-MIMO)技术逐渐成为研究热点。MU-MIMO技术在不增加终端设备成本的情况下，允许多个用户以共享时频资源的方式与基站同时进行通信。由于实际通信系统中有通信需求的用户数往往大于系统所能接纳的用户数，且用户间存在一定干扰，所以用户配对是确保MU-MIMO技术获得多用户分集增益和复用增益的重要手段。
在混合波束成型(hybrid beamforming，HBF)架构中，毫米波基站通过改变移相器生成模拟波束，并通过模拟波束与多个用户通信，与多个用户通信时可以采用MU-MIMO技术，并对多个用户进行配对，在配对前需要测量不同用户使用模拟波束通信的干扰。现有的数字波束的干扰计算公式为‖H AW B‖ 2，其中，H A为用户A的空间信道，W B为用户B的发送权值，如图1所示，基站在使用模拟波束接收信号时，每个天线收到的信号由多个功率放大器(power amplifier，PA)接收后汇总，因此不能识别出每个PA上的阵子级信道，即无法完全确定上述公式中的参数H A，因此在采用MU-MIMO技术进行多用户配对时，无法通过数字波束的干扰计算公式计算不同用户间通过模拟波束通信的干扰。如何在采用MU-MIMO技术时获取配对用户间通过模拟波束通信的干扰是目前亟需解决的问题。

其中，可穿戴设备也可以称为穿戴式智能设备，是应用穿戴式技术对日常穿戴进行智能化设计、开发出可以穿戴的设备的总称，如眼镜、手套、手表、服饰及鞋等。可穿戴设备即直接穿在身上，或是整合到用户的衣服或配件的一种便携式设备。可穿戴设备不仅仅是一种硬件设备，更是通过软件支持以及数据交互、云端交互来实现强大的功能。广义穿戴式智能设备包括功能全、尺寸大、可不依赖智能手机实现完整或者部分的功能，例如：智能手表或智能眼镜等，以及只专注于某一类应用功能，需要和其它设备如智能手机配合使用，如各类进行体征监测的智能手环、智能首饰等。
此外，终端设备还可以是物联网(internet of things，IoT)系统中的终端设备。IoT是未来信息技术发展的重要组成部分，其主要技术特点是将物品通过通信技术与网络连接，从而实现人机互连，物物互连的智能化网络。本申请对于终端设备的具体形式不作限定。
应理解，本申请实施例中，终端设备可以是用于实现终端设备功能的装置，也可以是能够支持终端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终端设备中。本申请实施例中，芯片系统可以由芯片构成，也可以包括芯片和其他分立器件。本申请实施例中的终端设备支持测量网络设备通过模拟波束发送的信号。
本申请实施例中的网络设备可以是任意一种具有无线收发功能的设备。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(Base Band 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(transmission and reception point，TRP)等，还可以为5G，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)等。
在一些部署中，gNB可以包括集中式单元(centralized unit，CU)和DU。gNB还可以包括有源天线单元(active antenna unit，简称AAU)。CU实现gNB的部分功能，DU实现gNB的部分功能。比如，CU负责处理非实时协议和服务，实现无线资源控制(radio resource control，RRC)，分组数据汇聚层协议(packet data convergence protocol，PDCP)层的功能。DU负责处理物理层协议和实时服务，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(physical，PHY)层的功能。AAU实现部分物理层处理功能、射频处理及有源天线的相关功能。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，也可以认为是由DU发送的，或者，由DU+AAU发送的。可以理解的是，网络设备可以为包括CU节点、DU节点、AAU节点中一项或多项的设备。此外，可以将CU划分为接入网(radio access network，RAN)中的网络设备，也可以将CU划分为核心网(core network，CN)中的网络设备，本申请对此不做限定。
应理解，本申请实施例中，网络设备可以是用于实现网络设备功能的装置，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。本申请实施例中的网络设备可以是基于HBF架构下的网络设备，能够生成模拟波束，并通过模拟波束与终端设备通信。
在图2的场景中，当网络设备采用MU-MIMO技术，通过模拟波束与多个用户通信时，在对用户配对前，由于网络设备不能获取阵子级信道，因此无法通过数字波束的干扰计算公式计算不同用户间通过模拟波束通信的干扰。
一种可能的实施方式，终端设备周期扫描网络设备通过模拟波束发送的下行信号，并测量该下行信号的参考信号接收功率(reference signal receiving power，RSRP)，选择RSRP最高的4个下行信号对应的模拟波束上报网络设备。
示例地，该下行信号可以是信道状态信息(channel state information，CSI)。
采用该实施方式，终端设备上报了4个模拟波束，网络设备能获取该4个模拟波束之间的干扰信息，由于网络设备侧的模拟波束的数量远多于4个，即网络设备与终端设备进行通信的模拟波束的数量远多于4个。
因此在该实施方式下，网络设备在采用MU-MIMO技术进行用户配对前，无法获取除上述4个模拟波束之外的其它模拟波束的干扰信息，应理解，无法获取的干扰信息可以是该4个模拟波束和其它模拟波束之间的干扰信息，也可以是其它模拟波束之间的干扰信息。
另一种可能的实施方式，网络设备将一对模拟波束绑定，例如将模拟波束#1和模拟波束#2绑定。其中，若网络设备通过模拟波束#1与终端设备通信，且通信质量高于或等于(高于)某阈值，则该模拟波束#1可被称为服务模拟波束，若网络设备通过模拟波束#2与终端设备通信，且通信质量低于(低于或等于)某阈值，则该模拟波束#2可被称为干扰模拟波束。
网络设备同时通过服务波束和模拟波束向终端设备发送下行信号，终端设备接收该下行信号，并测量该下行信号的信号与干扰加噪声比(signal to interference plus noise ratio， SINR)，后续终端设备将测量的SINR上报网络设备，网络设备即可获知该服务波束和模拟波束的干扰信息。
示例地，该下行信号可以是CSI。
采用该实施方式，一次只能测量一对模拟波束的组合，但网络设备侧的模拟波束的数量较多，因此网络设备获取模拟波束的干扰信息需要经过多次模拟波束的组合和测量，开销较大。
例如，网络设备侧有8个模拟波束，如果是4个终端设备配对，则需从8个模拟波束中任选4个进行组合测量，在组合过程中有
Figure PCTCN2022111997-appb-000001
种选择，可见测量的次数倍数增长，测量开销较大。
并且在该实施方式中，网络设备覆盖范围内的所有终端设备都需参与干扰测量，这对终端设备的兼容性要求较高，例如，R15的终端设备不支持该测量。
图3是本申请实施例提供的一种测量干扰的方法的交互流程图。图3所示的方法200包括：
步骤S220，网络设备向终端设备发送第一指示信息，该第一指示信息指示终端设备测量第一信号的信号质量，对应的，终端设备接收该第一指示信息。
应理解，该第一信号为通过模拟波束发送的信号。本申请实施例提及的第一信号可以是CSI，当然，该第一信号也可以是用于测量干扰的其它信号，本申请对此不作任何限制。
可选地，该终端设备满足第二预设条件，该第二预设条件包括以下至少一项：
终端设备的调度数据量大于或等于第一阈值；
终端设备与网络设备通信的信号质量大于或等于第二阈值；
终端设备与网络设备所处的地理位置间的距离小于或等于某一门限。
一种可能的实施方式中，网络设备向满足第二预设条件的终端设备发送第一指示信息，指示测量第一信号的信号质量，对应的，满足第二预设条件的终端设备接收该第一指示信息。
网络设备可以通过该方案，在其覆盖范围内选择满足第二预设条件的一部分终端设备进行测量，从而节省测量开销。
步骤S230，网络设备通过N个模拟波束向终端设备发送第一信号，N为大于或等于1的整数，该模拟波束满足第一预设条件。对应的，终端设备接收该第一信号。
一种可能的实施方式中，网络设备通过N个模拟波束向满足第二预设条件的终端设备发送该第一信号，对应的，满足该第二预设条件的终端设备接收该第一信号。
可选地，模拟波束满足第一预设条件包括以下至少一项：
通过该模拟波束传输信号的信号质量大于或等于第三阈值；
该模拟波束为终端设备的服务波束，该终端设备可以为满足第二预设条件的终端设备。
网络设备可以通过该方案，从网络设备侧的模拟波束中选择满足第一预设条件的一部分模拟波束作为待测量模拟波束，避免了过多模拟波束组合进行干扰测量，进一步降低了测量开销。
可选地，网络设备同时通过N个模拟波束向终端设备发送第一信号，或网络设备周期的通过N个模拟波束向终端设备发送第一信号(即周期的在不同的时域资源发送N次第一信号，每次通过1个模拟波束发送第一信号，N次通过不同的N个模拟波束发送)，或 网络设备非周期的通过N个模拟波束向终端设备发送第一信号(即非周期的在不同的时域资源发送N次第一信号，每次通过1个模拟波束发送第一信号，N次通过不同的N个模拟波束发送)。
示例地，当终端设备接入网络设备后，终端设备的接收波束由终端设备测量到的网络设备发送同步信号块(synchronization signal block，SSB)的模拟波束的位置确定，网络设备在发送SSB的模拟波束所对应的时域位置，通过N个模拟波束发送第一信号，具体可同时通过N个模拟波束发送第一信号，或者周期的通过N个模拟波束发送第一信号(同上，每次通过1个模拟波束发送第一信号，N次通过不同的N个模拟波束发送)，或者非周期的通过N个模拟波束发送第一信号(同上，每次通过1个模拟波束发送第一信号，N次通过不同的N个模拟波束发送)。终端设备根据确定的接收波束的位置接收第一信号，并进行测量。
可选地，N取值为4，对现有协议改动较小。
可选地，网络设备通过N个模拟波束向终端设备发送第一信号包括：
网络设备通过N个模拟波束，在多个符号上重复发送该第一信号，应理解，该符号可以是正交频分复用(orthogonal frequency division multiplexing，OFDM)符号，本申请对此不做限制。
一种可能的实施方式中，多个符号包括第一符号和第二符号，其中，第一符号包括第二符号的扩展循环前缀，第一符号和第二符号相邻。
另一种可能的实施方式中，多个符号包括第三符号，第四符号和第五符号，第三符号和/或第五符号包括该第四符号的扩展循环前缀，第四符号位于第三符号和第五符号的中间，第三符号，第四符号和第五符号相邻。
可选地，方法200还包括：
步骤S240，网络设备向终端设备发送第二指示信息，该第二指示信息指示终端设备测量承载于第二符号上的该第一信号的信号质量。对应的，终端设备接收该第二指示信息，并测量承载于第二符号上的该第一信号的信号质量。
在多个符号包括第一符号和第二符号的实施方式中，测量符号为第二符号，即网络设备通过第二指示信息指示终端设备测量的是承载于第二符号上的该第一信号的信号质量。在该实施方式中第一符号包括第二符号的扩展循环前缀(或扩展的循环前缀)，即通过循环移位将第二符号后端的部分比特承载的内容作为扩展循环前缀在第一符号内发送，相当于增加了循环前缀(cyclic prefix，CP)的长度，应理解，扩展循环前缀和循环前缀包括的内容不重叠。
示例地，如图4所示，网络设备在符号M(第一符号)和符号M+1(第二符号)上发送第一信号，其中，符号M的后端包括符号M+1的扩展循环前缀，该扩展循环前缀复制的内容为符号M+1后端的部分比特承载的内容，该扩展循环前缀复制的内容不包括符号M+1包括的循环前缀复制的符号M+1后端的部分比特承载的内容。网络设备指示终端设备测量承载于符号M+1上的第一信号的信号质量，其中M为大于或等于0的整数。图4示出了TA对齐，TA偏大超CP，TA偏小三种情况下，两个连续的符号承载第一信号的具体情况，可以得出结论，通过两个连续的符号发送第一信号，可以避免在时间提前量(timing advance，TA)偏大超CP的情况下，第一信号接收不完整，从而导致测量不准确 的问题。但当TA偏小时，终端设备提前收到第二符号上承载的第一信号，且第二符号结尾处会出现空白，因此也会影响第一信号测量的准确性。
在多个符号包括第三符号，第四符号和第五符号的实施方式中，测量符号为中间符号，即第四符号，即网络设备通过第二指示信息指示终端设备测量的是承载于第四符号上的该第一信号的信号质量。在该实施方式中第三符号和/或第五符号包括第四符号的扩展循环前缀，即通过循环移位将第四符号后端的部分比特承载的内容作为扩展循环前缀在第三符号和/或第五符号内发送，应理解，扩展循环前缀和循环前缀包括的内容不重叠。
示例地，如图5所示，网络设备在符号T(第三符号)，符号T+1(第四符号)和符号T+2(第五符号)上发送第一信号，其中，符号T的后端包括符号T+1的扩展的循环前缀，该扩展的循环前缀复制的内容为符号T+1后端的部分比特承载的内容，该扩展的循环前缀复制的内容不包括符号T+1包括的循环前缀复制的符号T+1后端的部分比特承载的内容。符号T+2的前端包括符号T+1的扩展的循环前缀，该扩展的循环前缀复制的内容为符号T+1后端的部分比特承载的内容，该扩展的循环前缀复制的内容不包括符号T+1包括的循环前缀复制的符号T+1后端的部分比特承载的内容。网络设备指示终端设备测量承载于符号T+1上的第一信号的信号质量，其中T为大于或等于0的整数。图5示出了TA对齐，TA偏大超CP，TA偏小三种情况下，三个连续的符号承载第一信号的具体情况，可以得出结论，通过三个连续的符号发送第一信号可以避免在TA偏大超CP的情况下，第一信号接收不完整，从而导致测量不准确的问题，或者避免在TA偏小，终端设备提前收到中间符号上承载的第一信号(中间符号结尾处出现空白)，从而导致测量不准确的问题。
应理解，上述方案适用于终端设备处于非视距传输(not line of sight，NLOS)环境时。
基于上述通过多个符号发送第一信号的实施方式中，能够避免在时间提前量(Timing advance，TA)偏大超CP，或者TA偏小(中间符号结尾处出现空白)时导致的第一信号接收不完整的问题，从而终端设备能够更加准确的测量第一信号，使得网络设备根据准确的测量结果计算模拟波束间的干扰。
可选地，在步骤S220之前，方法200包括：
步骤S210，网络设备确定终端设备和待测量模拟波束集合。
可选地，网络设备通过第一预设条件确定待测量模拟波束集合，上述N个模拟波束属于该待测量模拟波束集合。网络设备通过第二预设条件确定终端设备，该终端设备的数量可以是一个或多个。
也就是说，上述步骤S220，S230，S240，以及后文步骤S250中涉及的终端设备可以是一个或多个，该一个或多个终端设备是网络设备通过第二预设条件确定的。
示例地，步骤S220可替换为，网络设备向一个或多个终端设备发送第一指示信息，该第一指示信息指示终端设备测量第一信号的信号质量，对应的，一个或多个终端设备接收该第一指示信息。步骤S230可替换为，网络设备通过N个模拟波束向一个或多个终端设备发送第一信号，N为大于或等于1的整数，该模拟波束满足第一预设条件。对应的，一个或多个终端设备接收该第一信号。步骤S240可替换为，网络设备向一个或多个终端设备发送第二指示信息，该第二指示信息指示终端设备测量承载于第二符号上的该第一信号的信号质量。对应的，一个或多个终端设备接收该第二指示信息，并测量承载于第二符 号上的该第一信号的信号质量。步骤S250可替换为，一个或多个终端设备向网络设备发送测量结果，该测量结果为第一信号的信号质量。对应的，网络设备接收该测量结果。
步骤S250，终端设备向网络设备发送测量结果，该测量结果为第一信号的信号质量。对应的，网络设备接收该测量结果。
可选地，该测量结果包括第一信号的参考信号接收功率(reference signal receiving power，RSRP)。
在一种可能的实施方式中，网络设备收到来自终端设备的测量结果后，后续在对应时域位置再通过N个模拟波束发送第一信号，发送的方式同上所述，可以是同时发送，可以是周期的或非周期的依次发送，直到待测量模拟波束集合中的所有模拟波束全部被测量完成为止。
后续网络设备可根据终端设备上报的待测量模拟波束集合中所有模拟波束的测量结果，计算对应模拟波束间的干扰，或者由网络设备组合模拟波束进行隔离度计算，从而进行用户配对。隔离度就是为了尽量减少各种干扰对接收机的影响所采取的抑制干扰措施。通常有以下两种措施，一种是增加空间隔离度，即增加空间的距离或者避免方向上和干扰源面对面，另一种就是在发射端增加滤波器或者在接收端干扰来的方向上加金属隔离网做屏蔽。
采用本申请提供的方案，由网络设备触发，该方案不依赖于终端设备在网络设备通过多个模拟波束发送下行信号的情况下测量SINR的能力，即该方案可以兼容现有的R15终端设备，并且在网络设备侧根据终端设备上报的测量结果组合计算SINR是否满足一定条件，或计算干扰大小，能够大幅降低测量开销。
应理解，本申请提供的方法可以应用在所有含有模拟波束设计的网络设备，在无法获取终端设备间完整空间信道时，通过模拟波束发送下行信号测量预估多用户配对时的干扰情况。本申请提供的方法也可应用于上行信号间干扰的计算推导，具体应用时可根据具体场景更换上述提及的信号，模拟波束和具体实施方式。
还应理解，本申请提供的方法还可以应用在多个网络设备之间的干扰测量，例如，相邻网络设备之间获取彼此待测量波束集合中各模拟波束的RSRP(模拟波束的RSRP可理解为网络设备通过该模拟波束发送下行信号，终端设备上报的该下行信号的RSRP)，从而可以获取相邻网络设备的干扰信息。
