在另一些实施例中,第一终端设备根据测量报告,在接收质量满足门限值的多个第三待选波束中任意确定一个作为第三波束。
结合第一方面,在第一方面的某些实现方式中,所述第一参考信号的资源是周期性资源。
在本申请实施例中,第一终端设备可以向第二终端设备发送资源指示信息,该资源是专用资源且周期性配置,从而第二终端设备能够更便捷地接收到资源指示信息和对应的参考信号,快速进行侧行链路上的波束配对。
结合第一方面,在第一方面的某些实现方式中,在第一终端设备使用多个第一待选波束向第二终端设备重复发送第一请求信息之前,所述方法还包括:所述第一终端设备获取所述多个第一待选波束。
在该实施例中,第一终端设备发送第一请求信息使用的多个第一待选波束可以为第一终端设备的全部波束,也可以为第一终端设备的部分波束,在此之前,第一终端设备还可以从更多的波束中确定该多个第一待选波束,从而加快单播连接的效率。
例如,第一终端设备可以通过发送第三参考信号(可以为SSB信号)并根据其他多个接收该第三参考信号的终端设备的反馈信息确定该多个第一待选波束(后面具体介绍);或者第一终端设备可以通过周期性扫描其他终端设备发送的参考信号(可以SSB信号)并根据接收质量确定该多个第一待选波束;或者,第一终端设备还可以通过其他方式,例如预先知道的周围终端设备的位置确定该多个第一待选波束等,此处不再赘述。
结合第一方面,在第一方面的某些实现方式中,所述第一终端设备获取所述多个第一待选波束,包括:所述第一终端设备获取第n资源配置参数,所述第n资源配置参数包括第n数量门限值Hn,n为正整数;所述第一终端设备根据所述第n资源配置参数,使用
Bn个波束发送第三参考信号;所述第一终端设备接收来自多个终端设备的第二反馈信息,所述第二反馈信息用于指示An个波束,所述An个波束属于所述Bn个波束,所述An个波束的接收质量大于或等于接收质量阈值;所述第一终端设备根据所述An和Hn的数量关系,确定所述多个第一待选波束。
在该实施例中,第一终端设备会确定多个第一待选波束,具体的,可以根据第n配置参数发送第三参考信号,并根据多个终端设备反馈的信息确定An个波束,根据An和Hn的数量关系,确定多个第一待选波束。
如果n为1,则第一终端设备可以根据A1和H1的数量关系确定多个第一待选波束。如果n大于或等于2,第一终端设备可以根据An和Hn的数量关系确定多个第一待选波束,并且在第一终端设备根据An和Hn的数量关系确定多个第一待选波束之前,第一终端设备可以根据第一资源配置参数至第n-1资源配置参数分别发送了参考信号,并且A1和H1的数量关系至An-1和Hn-1的数量关系均满足一定条件。
另外,第二反馈信息可以通过显示或隐式方式指示该An个波束,显示是通过在第二反馈信息中直接指示波束索引、ID、资源等,隐式方式是通过第二反馈信息的反馈资源位置指示波束。
结合第一方面,在第一方面的某些实现方式中,所述第一终端设备根据所述An和Hn的数量关系,确定所述多个第一待选波束,包括:在所述An≥Hn时,将所述An个波束确定为所述多个第一待选波束。
在该实施例中,当An≥Hn时,意味着An个波束的通信质量较好且An的数量满足条件,这可能是由于该An个波束的方向上有其他终端设备,第一终端设备可以将该An个波束作为多个第一待选波束发送DCR信息与其他终端设备(例如,第二终端设备)进行单播连接,由于可能剔除了没有终端设备方向的波束,能够提高单播连接的效率。另外,选择的波束数量超过Hn时,可以避免选择的波束较少使得后续单播连接时选择不到合适的波束(部分波束可能是由于短时间的障碍或者由于终端设备移动导致短时间内接受质量较低)。
结合第一方面,在第一方面的某些实现方式中,所述第一终端设备根据所述An和Hn的数量关系,确定所述多个第一待选波束,包括:在所述An<Hn时,将所述Bn个波束确定为所述多个第一待选波束。
在该实施例中,如果An<Hn时,接收质量较高的波束的数目低于阈值,第一终端设备可以将发送第三参考信号的Bn个波束作为多个第一待选波束发送DCR信息。接收质量较高的波束的数目低于阈值可能是由于终端设备的移动导致的例如参考信号发送周期和接收周期不匹配导致部分波束接收质量很低,或者也可以由于终端设备移动导致波束的接收质量处于动态变化中,这时候使用Bn个波束而非数量较低的An个波束发送DCR信息,有利于单播连接时选择更好的波束,提高后续通信的质量。
结合第一方面,在第一方面的某些实现方式中,所述第一终端设备根据所述An和Hn的数量关系,确定所述多个第一待选波束,包括:在所述An<Hn时,所述第一终端设备获取第n+1资源配置参数,根据所述第n+1资源配置参数确定所述多个第一待选波束,所述第n资源配置参数包括第n周期、第n间隔和第n资源,所述第n+1资源配置参数包括第n+1周期、第n+1间隔和第n+1资源,所述第n周期、所述第n间隔、所述第n资源分
别为所述第n资源配置参数中配置的所述第三参考信号的发送周期、一个发送周期内所述第三参考信号的发送间隔、所述第三参考信号的发送资源,所述第n+1周期、所述第n+1间隔、所述第n+1资源分别为所述第n+1资源配置参数中配置的所述第三参考信号的发送周期、一个发送周期内所述第三参考信号的发送间隔、所述第三参考信号的发送资源,所述第n+1资源配置参数满足以下至少一项:所述第n+1周期小于所述第n周期;所述第n+1资源少于所述第n资源。
在该实施例中,在An<Hn时,第一终端设备可以获取第n+1资源配置参数,从而可以使用该第n+1资源配置参数继续发送参考信号,确定An+1个接收质量大于阈值的波束。第一终端设备使用第n资源配置参数获得的接收质量较好的波束数目低于预设阈值可能是由于第三参考信号的发送周期与接收周期不匹配或同一发送周期内承载于不同发送波束的第三参考信号的发送间隔和接收间隔不匹配导致的,当第n+1周期小于第n周期或第n+1间隔小于第n间隔时,也就是减小参考信号的发送周期或同一周期内参考信号的发送间隔时,可能能够获得更多的接收质量大于预设阈值的波束,便于后续进行单播连接时使用。
当第n+1资源小于第n资源时,第一网络设备减少了为第一终端设备发送参考信号配置的资源,这样,第一终端设备可能会通过波束赋形形成更少数量的波束,单个波束的覆盖面积增加。这样,通过该第n+1资源配置参数即使获取的接收质量大于预设阈值的波束数量不变或降低,在单播连接时也容易找到质量较好的波束。
结合第一方面,在第一方面的某些实现方式中,所述第一终端设备获取所述第n+1资源配置参数包括:在所述An<Hn时,所述第一终端设备向第一网络设备发送请求信息,所述请求信息用于获取所述第n+1资源配置参数;所述第一终端设备从所述第一网络设备接收所述第n+1资源配置参数;或者,所述第一终端设备根据从所述第一网络设备接收的资源配置列表,获取所述第n+1资源配置参数,所述资源配置列表包括所述第n资源配置参数和所述第n+1资源配置参数。
在该实施例中,第一终端设备使用的包括第n资源配置参数、第n+1资源配置参数的多个资源配置参数可以设置在资源配置列表中,资源配置列表可以是第一终端设备第一次发送第三参考信号之前从第一网络设备处接收的。该多个资源配置参数可以在资源配置列表中按照一定的规律排列,从而在第一终端设备通过某一资源配置参数获取的接收质量较好的波束的数量低于阈值时,可以方便地从列表中获取下一资源配置参数,减少了第一终端设备和第一网络设备的信令交互,提高了便捷性。
或者,第一终端设备可以在每次需要获取资源配置参数时向第一网络设备发送请求信息,这样实现按需获取资源配置参数,减小了预配置导致的资源浪费。
结合第一方面,在第一方面的某些实现方式中,所述多个终端设备包括所述第二终端设备。
第二方面,提供了一种侧行链路管理方法,包括:第一终端设备获取第n资源配置参数,所述第n资源配置参数包括第n数量门限值Hn;所述第一终端设备根据所述第n资源配置参数,使用Bn个波束发送第三参考信号;所述第一终端设备接收来自多个终端设备的第二反馈信息,所述第二反馈信息用于指示An个波束,所述An个波束属于所述Bn个波束,所述An个波束的接收质量大于或等于接收质量阈值;在所述An<Hn时,所述第
一终端设备使用全向波束向第二终端设备发送第一请求信息,所述第一请求信息用于触发与所述第二终端设备的连接。
在该实施例中,第一终端设备可以发送第三参考信号,并根据多个终端设备接收到该第三参考信号后的反馈信息确定An个波束,该An个波束的接收质量大于接收质量阈值。该An个波束的方向可能有其他终端设备,从而这些终端设备反馈的对应方向上的波束的接收质量较高。如果接收质量大于阈值的波束数量An过少,使用这些波束进行单播连接时(发送第一请求信息)可能导致单播连接失败。这时,使用全向波束进行单播连接可以提高后续单播连接的成功率。
n=1时,第一终端设备可以在第一次发送参考信号获得的A1<H1时,即使用全向波束进行后续的单播连接;如果n≥2,第一终端设备可以在第n次发送参考信号获得的An<Hn时才使用全向波束进行单播连接,而前面第1至n-1次发送参考信号获得的接收质量高于预设阈值的波束较低时,获得下一资源配置参数进行再次尝试。
第三方面,提供了一种侧行链路管理方法,该方法由第二终端设备执行。包括:第二终端设备使用多个第二待选波束从第一终端设备接收第一请求信息,所述第一请求信息用于所述第一终端设备触发与所述第二终端设备的连接;所述第二终端设备根据所述第一请求信息,确定第二波束,所述第二波束是所述多个第二待选波束之一;所述第二终端设备使用所述第二波束向所述第一终端设备发送第一反馈信息,所述第一反馈信息用于对所述第一请求信息进行反馈。
第二终端设备使用多个第二待选波束接收第一终端设备向多个方向发送的第一请求信息并对该请求信息进行测量,根据测量结果确定从第二待选波束中确定第二波束。并复用该第二波束向第一终端设备发送第一反馈信息,便于第一终端设备根据第一反馈信息确定第一波束,从而第一终端设备和第二终端设备可以确定各自的接收质量满足一定条件的波束作为侧行链路的通信波束,提高侧行链路的通信质量。

为便于理解本申请的实施例,首先对本申请中涉及到的术语做简单说明。
1、侧行链路中的广播、组播通信方式
侧行链路的广播、组播是指一个终端设备发送的广播或组播数据,能够被一个或多个终端设备接收到。例如,预先定义业务数据在PC5接口上传输时所使用的目的层2标识(Destination Layer-2 ID)。当发送设备有该广播业务数据发送时,可以直接通过用户面协议栈进行发送,在媒体接入控制(media access control protocol,MAC)层和/或物理层(physical,PHY)层填充该广播业务对应的Destination Layer-2 ID。对该广播业务感兴趣的终端设备可以在PHY层监听是否有该广播业务对应的Destination Layer-2 ID的业务数据,并进行接收、解析,但本申请不限于此。
2、侧行链路中的单播通信方式
单播是终端设备一对一的通信方式,发送设备通过目的地址指示其发送的单播数据的接收设备,接收设备根据单播数据的目的地址确定该单播数据是否是发送给自己的单播数据,以及根据单播数据的源地址确定该单播数据是由哪个设备发送的。可选地,两个终端设备可以通过信令交互建立该两个设备之间的单播连接,单播连接建立完成后可以进行单播通信。
3、侧行链路传输模式1(mode1)
侧行链路mode1是指终端设备根据网络设备发送的侧行链路调度授权(sidelink grant)确定用于发送侧行链路数据的资源。该侧行链路调度授权用于授权该终端设备专用的发送侧行链路数据的资源。例如,终端设备在发送侧行链路前,向网络设备上报缓存状态报告
buffer status reports,BSR)以通知网络设备待发送的数据量,网络设备根据终端设备上报的数据量为其授权相应资源。
4、侧行链路传输模式2(mode2)
侧行链路mode2是指网络设备预先分配用于竞争的侧行链路资源,多个终端设备可以在该用于竞争的侧行链路资源中竞争资源,在竞争到资源的情况下,终端设备可以在该竞争到的资源上发送侧行链路的数据。例如,终端设备根据测量该用于侧行链路的资源中的每个时频资源是否被占用、来选择未被占用的资源进行传输,但本申请不限于此。
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清楚、完整地描述,显然,所描述的实施例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。

本申请实施例中的终端设备可以指用户设备、接入终端、用户单元、用户站、移动站、移动台、远方站、远程终端、移动设备、用户终端、终端、无线通信设备、用户代理或用户装置。终端设备还可以是蜂窝电话、无绳电话、会话启动协议(session initiation protocol,SIP)电话、无线本地环路(wireless local loop,WLL)站、个人数字处理(personal digital assistant,PDA)、具有无线通信功能的手持设备、计算设备或连接到无线调制解调器的其它处理设备、车载设备、可穿戴设备,未来5G网络中的终端设备或者未来演进的公用陆地移动通信网络(public land mobile network,PLMN)中的终端设备等,本申请实施例对此并不限定。
本申请实施例中的网络设备可以是用于与终端设备通信的设备,该网络设备可以是全球移动通讯(global system of mobile communication,GSM)系统或码分多址(code division multiple access,CDMA)中的基站(base transceiver station,BTS),也可以是宽带码分多址(wideband code division multiple access,WCDMA)系统中的基站(nodeB,NB),还可以是LTE系统中的演进型基站(evolutional nodeB,eNB或eNodeB),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,或者该网络设备可以为中继站、接入点、车载设备、可穿戴设备以及未来5G网络中的网络设备或者未来演进的PLMN网络中的网络设备等,本申请实施例并不限定。
本申请仅以图1为例对本申请的技术方案进行叙述,可以理解的是,第一终端设备110和第二终端设备120也可以共同连接到一个网络设备,从而第一终端设备和第二终端设备可以通过该网络设备获取相应的资源配置。本申请图1所示的通信系统的连接方式不构成对本申请保护范围的限定。
应理解,图1仅以通信系统包括第一终端设备110、第一网络设备130、第二终端设
备120、第二网络设备140为例对本申请的技术方案进行说明,该通信系统可以仅包括第一终端设备110和第二终端设备120,或者包括更多的终端设备和网络设备,本申请各个实施例中的通信设备个数也不应理解成对本申请应用范围的限定。
图1所示的通信系统中包括两种接口,即Uu接口和PC5接口。Uu接口是终端设备与网络设备的接口,例如第一终端设备110与第一网络设备130、第二终端设备120与第二网络设备140之间的接口即为Uu接口。PC5接口是终端设备之间的直连接口,例如第一终端设备110和第二终端设备120之间的通信接口即为PC5接口。
图2示出了基于NR PC5接口的侧行链路通信架构的控制面协议栈。控制面协议栈主要用于传输PC5信令协议层(PC5-signal,PC5-S)信令以及SL RRC信令。两个终端设备建立单播连接,需要发起连接的终端设备(UE1)的PC5-S层发送直接通信请求(directcommunicationrequest,DCR)信息请求建立单播连接,并告知对侧终端设备(UE2)一些基本用户信息等。用于传输PC5-S信令的控制面协议栈如图2的(a)所示:包括PHY层、MAC层、无线链路控制层(radiolinkcontrol,RLC)、PDCP层和PC5-S层,其中PHY层处于L1层,MAC层、RLC层、PDCP层处于L2层,PC5-S层处于L3层。
具体来说,终端设备之间建立单播连接包括以下步骤:
步骤1,第一终端设备(UE1)向第二终端设备(UE2)发送DCR信息,该DCR信息携带UE1的应用层标识、UE2的应用层标识、要求建立L2链路的V2X服务类型和建立链路的安全信息等。
步骤2,UE2向UE1发送直接安全模式命令(directsecurity modecommand)反馈。
步骤3,UE1向UE2发送直接安全模式完成信息(direct security modecomplete)通知UE2安全链接完成。
步骤4,UE2向UE1发送直接通信回应(directcommunicationaccept,DCA)信息,该DCA信息包括UE2的应用层标识、服务质量信息(quality of service,QoS)、IP地址配置等。
在单播连接建立后,UE1会发送一些RRC配置信令与对侧UE2建立RRC连接。用于传输SL RRC信令的控制面协议栈如图2的(b)所示:包括PHY层、MAC层、RLC层、PDCP层和无线资源控制层(radioresourcecontrol,RRC),其中PHY层处于L1层,MAC层、RLC层、PDCP层处于L2层,RRC层处于L3层。
具体来说,UE1的V2X应用层会把分配给单播连接的PC5链路标识以及相关信息发送给接入层,包括L2标识(包括UE1和UE2的L2标识)和相应的QoS参数,以协助接入层维护PC5链路标识和PC5单播连接相关信息。
但是,由于在步骤1中是利用全向波束发送DCR信息或DCA信息,这种建立侧行链路的方式对两个终端设备之间的距离有较大限制。此外,随着通信系统中更高频率电磁波的应用,终端设备之间建立侧行链路的方式适用范围进一步减小。
图3示出了本申请实施例提供的一种侧行链路管理方法300示意性流程图。
S310,第一终端设备使用多个第一待选波束向第二终端设备重复发送第一请求信息,所述第一请求信息用于触发与所述第二终端设备的连接。
对应,第二终端设备使用多个第二待选波束从第一终端设备接收第一请求信息,所述第一请求信息用于所述第一终端设备触发与所述第二终端设备的连接。
在S310中,第一待选波束可以是信道状态信息参考信号(channel state information reference signal,CSI-RS)波束、同步信号和物理广播信道块(synchronization signal and physical broadcast channel,SSB)波束等。不同于时分复用和频分复用,波束是基于空分复用而形成的,将信号的能量集中于某一方向即形成了波束。波束使得通信系统在时域资源、频域资源的基础上进一步增加空间资源从而支持更多的用户,还能够通过将信号集中于一个方向使得信号传输的距离更远。当设备之间进行通信时,可以使用各自的波束进行发送或接收。波束并没有发送波束或接收波束的区分,当波束用于发送时即可以称为发送波束,当波束用于接收时即可以称为接收波束。
第一待选波束是第一终端设备通过波束赋形形成的波束,第一待选波束的宽度可以为第一宽度;第二待选波束是第二终端设备通过波束赋形形成的波束,例如第二待选波束的宽度可以为第二宽度。第一宽度和第二宽度可以相同,也可以不同。
第一请求信息用于第一终端设备请求与第二终端设备建立侧行链路连接。第一请求信息包括DCR信息,该DCR信息携带有第一终端设备的标识信息和第二终端设备的标识信息,该标识信息可以是应用层标识,该DCR信息还可以携带要求建立的V2X服务类型和建立链路的安全信息等。因此第二终端设备能够根据DCR信息中携带的第二终端设备的标识确认第一终端设备建立侧行链路的目标终端设备是自己,从而执行后续其他操作。
第一终端设备可以是第一终端设备和第二终端设备之中的发送终端设备,例如,第一终端设备可以根据存在需要向第二终端设备传输的数据或信令,从而向第二终端设备发送第一请求信息,触发与第二终端设备建立连接。
在本申请实施例中,重复代表的是使用不同的第一待选波束发送包括同样DCR信息的第一请求信息,即使用不同的空间资源发送第一请求信息,对于每一个第一待选波束,第一请求信息的发送可以是周期性或者非周期性的。
在本申请实施例中,所述第一终端设备使用多个第一待选波束向第二终端设备重复发送第一请求信息,包括以下操作之一:
第一终端设备通过混合自动重传请求(hybrid automatic repeat request,HARQ)使用多个第一待选波束向第二终端设备重复发送第一请求信息;
第一终端设备通过分组数据汇聚协议(packet data convergence protocol,PDCP)使用多个第一待选波束向第二终端设备重复发送第一请求信息;
第一终端设备通过PC5-S层使用多个第一待选波束向第二终端设备重复发送第一请求信息。
在一些实施例中,第一终端设备可以利用HARQ方式使用不同方向的多个第一待选波束发送第一请求信息,其包括相同的DCR信息。可以利用HARQ重传的方式多次发送第一请求信息,并且每次使用不同方向的第一待选波束,即可以实现波束扫描。
在另一些实施例中,第一终端设备可以将DCR信息在PDCP层重复传输。即将DCR信息在PDCP层复制,然后将复制的DCR信息分别递交给不同的RLC实体进行传输,进而通过不同的逻辑信道传输到MAC层,MAC层在传输这些携带相同DCR信息的逻辑信道时,将这些逻辑信道映射到不同的第一待选波束的资源上发送,从而实现DCR信息在不同方向上的波束扫描过程,以不同方向的第一待选波束发送包括相同的DCR信息的第一请求信息。
在另一些实施例中,第一终端设备可以利用PC5-S重复方式以不同方向的第一待选波束发送包含相同的DCR信息的第一请求信息。PC5-S层一般用于提供侧行链路连接管理功能,如侧行链路的建立、释放、安全参数控制、IP地址分配等。DCR信息由PC5-S层发送,包含第一终端设备的基本信息,并且通过接入层与第二终端设备建立连接,PC5-S层需要额外的指示让物理层知道多个来自PC5-S层的新包是同样的内容,从而物理层可以用不同的第一待选波束将重传信息发送到第二终端设备。
三种重复发送的方式都能实现波束扫描,HARQ重传的方式由于不需要复制同样的DCR信息,仅需要对DCR信息进行重复发送,开销较少,更容易实现。
S320,第二终端设备根据第一请求信息,确定第二波束,第二波束是多个第二待选波束之一。
在S310中,第二终端设备用多个第二待选波束利用波束扫描的方式接收该第一请求信息时,会对第一请求信息中的用于测量的信号进行测量,从而进行S320中的确定第二波束的过程。例如第一终端设备的波束有两个,波束标识分别为beam1,beam2;第二终端设备的波束有两个,波束标识分别为beam3,beam4,第二终端设备进行第一请求信息的接收时,可能接收到承载于发送波束-接收波束为beam1-beam3,beam1-beam4,beam2-beam3,beam2-beam4的第一请求信息,对接收质量进行测量后,例如确定波束标识为beam4的波束为第二波束。
在一些实施例中,所述第二波束对应的第一请求信息的接收质量大于第一门限值。
例如,第二终端设备在进行波束扫描以接收该第一请求信息时,可以在当前使用的第二待选波束的接收质量大于第一门限值时,即将当前波束作为第二波束。当前波束的接收质量不满足预设条件时,继续进行下一个第二待选波束承载的第一请求信息接收,直至获得接收质量大于第一门限值第二待选波束,该波束即被确定为第二波束。其中,用于表征接收质量的参数可以为当前波束的L1或L3参考信号接收功率(reference signal received power,RSRP)、参考信号接收质量(reference signal received quality,RSRQ)或者信号与干扰加噪声的比值(signal to interference plus noise ratio,SINR)等参数。例如,第二终端设备当前用于接收第一请求信息的第二待选波束标识为beam4,且其接收质量大于第一门限值,则可以将beam4作为第二波束。
再如,第二终端设备在进行波束扫描以接收该第一请求信息时,可以在接收到基于不同发送接收波束组合的第一请求信息,当其中的多个第二待选波束承载的第一请求信息的接收质量都满足第一门限值,可以从该多个待选波束中任意选择其中一个待选波束作为第二波束。
在另一些实施例中,所述第二波束对应的第一请求信息的接收质量是所述多个第二待选波束对应的第一请求信息的接收质量中最高的。
具体地,所述第一终端设备可以向所述第二终端设备发送所述多个第一待选波束的数目;对应,第二终端设备接收来自第一终端设备的第一待选波束的数目;其中,所述第二终端设备使用多个第二待选波束从第一终端设备接收第一请求信息,包括:所述第二终端设备根据所述多个第一待选波束的数目,使用多个第二待选波束从第一终端设备接收基于所述多个第一待选波束的第一请求信息。第一请求信息中可以包括侧行链路控制信息(sidelink control information,SCI)信息,SCI信息可以指示发送波束的数目。从而第二
终端设备可以根据发送波束的数目,用更少的时间遍历所有发送接收波束组合,从所有波束中选择接收质量最好的或者接收质量满足门限值的第二待选波束作为第二波束。
其中第二波束可以是L1或L3的RSRP、RSRQ、SINR最高的波束。例如,第二终端设备获知第一终端设备的使用的第一待选波束为2个,则可以使用自己的所有第二待选波束依次接收承载于两个第一待选波束的第一请求信息,遍历所有发送接收波束组合后,选择接收质量最好的第二待选波束作为第二波束。
当第一终端设备通过HARQ使用多个第一待选波束向第二终端设备重复发送第一请求信息时,第一待选波束的数目可以无需通过额外的信息例如SCI信令发送给第二终端设备,第二终端设备可以直接根据HARQ重传的性质获取第一待选波束的数目,从而更快地遍历所有发送-接收波束组合,选择接收质量满足门限值或进行接收质量的对比在满足门限值的第二待选波束中选择接收质量最好的波束作为第二波束。
在本申请实施例中,上述第二终端设备对第一请求信息的接收质量进行测量需要第二终端设备成功接收第一请求信息。第二终端设备判断成功接收第一请求信息的有以下三个标准:
例如,第二终端设备接收的第一请求信息的接收质量超过预设门限值;
再如,第二终端设备接收的第一请求信息解码成功;
又如,第二终端设备接收到的第二请求信息的接收质量未超过预设门限值,且单次解码失败,但是第二终端设备对该第一请求信息的下一次解码成功,通过HARQ软合并也可以判断成功接收第一请求信息,并进行下一步的操作。
S330,第二终端设备使用第二波束向第一终端设备发送第一反馈信息,第一反馈信息用于对第一请求信息进行反馈。
对应的,第一终端设备使用多个第一待选波束从第二终端设备接收第一反馈信息。
在S330中,第一反馈信息可以包括DCA信息,该DCA信息包括第二终端设备的标识信息,该标识信息可以是应用层标识信息,该DCA信息还可以包括QoS信息以及IP地址配置等。第二终端设备复用在S320中确定的第二波束发送第一反馈信息,其中第一反馈信息中的DCA信息是对DCR信息的反馈。
在本申请实施例中,第二终端设备在接收到第一终端设备基于所有第一待选波束发送的第一请求信息之后,确定第二波束,之后使用该第二波束向第一终端设备发送第一反馈信息。
S340,第一终端设备根据第一反馈信息,确定第一波束,第一波束是多个第一待选波束之一。
在一些实施例中,第一终端设备用波束扫描的方式使用多个第一待选波束接收该第一反馈信息并对第一反馈信息中的用于测量的信息进行测量,根据接收质量确定第一波束,第一波束是多个第一待选波束之一。例如,第一终端设备使用beam1、beam2接收承载于第二终端设备的第二波束beam4的第一反馈信息,从而可以根据接收质量确定第一波束。
第一终端设备确定第一波束的方式和步骤S320中第二终端设备确定第二波束时的方式类似。即在一些实施例中,第一波束对应的第一反馈信息的接收质量大于第一门限值;或者在另一些实施例中,第一波束对应的第一反馈信息的接收质量是多个第一待选波束对应的第一反馈信息的接收质量中最高的。具体细节可以参考第二波束的确定过程,此处为
简洁,不再赘述。
在另一些实施例中,S310中的第一请求信息可以包括承载第一请求信息的第一待选波束的指示信息,第一反馈信息包括第一波束的指示信息。从而第一终端设备直接根据第一反馈信息中的第一波束的指示信息,确定第一波束。
具体地,第一请求信息中的SCI信息可以指示第一终端设备用于发送第一请求信息的第一待选波束,步骤S330中第二终端设备可以将确定的第二波束对应的第一待选波束的指示信息包含在第一反馈信息中发送给第一终端设备。从而第一终端设备可以在步骤S340中接收到第一反馈信息后即可以停止波束扫描及测量,直接通过第一反馈信息获知自身最优发送波束方向,并将该第一待选波束确定为第一波束,从而减少在确定第一波束时额外的扫描过程及对L1或L3的RSRP、RSRQ或SINR的测量过程,减少第一终端设备的扫描及测量开销。例如,如前所述,第二终端设备进行第一请求信息的接收时,可能接收到承载于beam1-beam3,beam1-beam4,beam2-beam3,beam2-beam4的第一请求信息,第二终端设备在确定接收波束为beam4的同时,可以根据SCI信息指示的第一待选波束,例如获知beam4对应的发送波束为beam1,可以在向第一终端设备发送第一反馈信息时,将指示beam1波束的信息发送给第一终端设备,从而第一终端设备通过盲扫接收到该第一反馈信息时,无需再次进行测量,即可以将beam1对应的波束作为第一波束进行后续操作,减少了第一终端设备的测量开销。
前述的第一待选波束的指示信息可以显示或隐式指示第一待选波束,即通过波束序号/编号/索引等显示指示第一待选波束或者通过第一待选波束的资源隐式指示该第一待选波束。具体的,第一待选波束的指示信息可以为以下至少一项:波束编号、波束管理资源编号,侧行信号资源号、波束的绝对索引、波束的相对索引、波束的逻辑索引、波束对应的天线端口的索引、波束对应的天线端口组索引、波束对连接(beam pair 1ink,BPL)信息、波束对应的发送参数(Tx parameter)、波束对应的接收参数(Rx parameter)、波束对应的发送权重、波束对应的权重矩阵、波束对应的权重向量、波束对应的接收权重、波束对应的发送权重的索引、波束对应的权重矩阵的索引、波束对应的权重向量的索引、波束对应的接收权重的索引、波束对应的接收码本、波束对应的发送码本、波束对应的接收码本的索引、波束对应的发送码本的索引中。
在本申请实施例中,上述第一待选波束、第二待选波束可以为信道状态信息参考信号CSI-RS波束、SSB波束或其他波束。
经过上述方法300的技术方案,第一终端设备和第二终端设备确定了各自的第一波束和第二波束,第一波束和第二波束可能为较宽的波束,为了进一步提高第一终端设备和第二终端设备的通信质量,还可以进行细颗粒度波束配对过程。
图4示出了本申请实施例提供的一种侧行链路管理方法示意性流程图,在方法400中,第一终端设备和第二终端设备在方法300的基础上,进一步将粗颗粒度的第一波束和第二波束波束成形为细颗粒度的波束,并进行细颗粒度波束配对。
S410,第一终端设备根据第一波束,使用多个第三待选波束向第二终端设备发送第一参考信号。
对应,第二终端设备使用第二波束从第一终端设备接收基于多个第三待选波束发送的第一参考信号。
在S410中,第三待选波束可以是第一波束经过进一步波束成形而形成的波束,例如第三待选波束的宽度可以小于第一波束的宽度。第一参考信号可以是CSI-RS信号或SSB信号,从而第三待选波束可以为CSI-RS或SSB波束。第一终端设备使用该多个第三待选波束向第二终端设备发送第一参考信号。例如,在方法300中第一波束是beam1,第二波束是beam4,在S410中,第一终端设备使用由beam1继续波束成形得到的beam1.1,beam1.2向第二终端设备发送第一参考信号,第二终端设备使用之前的beam4接收承载于beam1.1、beam1.2的第一参考信号。步骤S410是为了获得第一终端设备的细颗粒度波束,因此第二终端设备可以用之前确定的第二波束接收第一参考信号
在本申请实施例中,第一终端设备可以向第二终端设备发送资源指示信息,资源指示信息用于指示专用资源;对应,第二终端设备从第一终端设备接收资源指示信息。
该资源指示信息可以通过SCI信息发送给第二终端设备。该资源可以是时频资源或空间资源等,第一终端设备可以通过SCI信令向第二终端设备发送资源指示信息,从而第二终端设备可以根据资源指示信息,接收第一参考信号。
在一些实施例中,该专用资源可以是周期性的资源或者非周期性的资源,是为了第一参考信号的发送配置的资源。
不同于现有技术中将数据和参考信号共同传输,为了能够在没有数据需要发送时也能进行第一参考信号的发送,从而完成波束配对,在本申请实施例中,为第一参考信号设计了专用资源,即上述资源指示信息指示的第一参考信号的资源是专用资源。即在原有的侧行链路资源位置上单独发送参考信号,即不与物理侧行链路共享信道(physical sidelink share channel,PSSCH)的数据一起发送。
在本申请实施例中,第一终端设备还可以获取专用资源。
在一些实施例中,侧行链路上的资源分配为Mode1,当没有配置好的资源时,第一终端设备向第一网络设备发送专用资源请求信息;第一终端设备接收来自所述第一网络设备的专用资源指示信息,所述专用资源指示信息用于指示所述专用资源。
对应,第一网络设备接收来自第一终端设备的专用资源请求信息,第一网络设备向第一终端设备发送专用资源指示信息。
第一终端设备可以通过调度请求(scheduling request,SR)、RRC或者侧行链路用户信息(sidelink user information,SUI)向第一网络设备发送专用资源请求信息,申请用于第一参考信号的专用资源。从而第一网络设备可以在接收到第一终端设备的请求信息后,通过下行链路控制信息(downlink control information,DCI)向第一终端设备指示第一参考信号的专用资源。
在另一些实施例中,侧行链路上的资源分配为Mode2,包括第一终端设备和第二终端设备之间的侧行链路在内的多个链路竞争使用预配置的资源集合。第一终端设备获取其他侧行链路的资源占用信息;第一终端设备根据所述资源占用信息,确定所述专用资源。从而第一终端设备可以解调其他终端设备所在的侧行链路的广播SCI信息获知已经被占用的资源,从而从预配置的资源集合中选择尚未被占用的资源作为第一参考信号的专用资源。
以第一参考信号为CSI-RS信号为例,图5示出了本申请实施例提供的两种专用CSI-RS资源配置方式。
图5的(a)示出了本申请实施例提供的一种专用资源配置示意图。阴影部分是为侧
行链路配置的专用资源,可以看出,CSI-RS信号并没有随数据一并发送,从而实现便捷的波束配对。
在另一些实施例中,为了实现CSI-RS信号的独立发送,可以设计专用的CSI-RS发送机制。多个侧行链路共享CSI-RS信道,侧行链路的发送终端设备通过PC5-RRC信号通知对侧终端设备CSI-RS信号的资源配置,从而侧行链路两端的终端设备可以在相应的资源上进行CSI-RS的发送与接收。
图5的(b)出了本申请实施例提供的另一种专用资源配置示意图。可以看出,为CSI-RS信号的传输设计了专门的CSI-RS信道,且侧行链路1、侧行链路2和侧行链路3基于时分复用共享CSI-RS信道,提高了资源利用率,并且CSI-RS信号不与数据一同发送,实现了便捷的细颗粒度侧行链路波束配对。
在本申请实施例中,第一终端设备还可以在发送资源指示信息之前向第二终端设备发送相对资源指示信息,相对资源指示信息可以包括发送时域位置和反馈时域位置,所述发送时域位置用于指示第一参考信号的相对发送时域,所述反馈时域位置用于指示针对所述第一参考信号的进行反馈的相对反馈时域。
该相对资源指示信息可以是第一终端设备通过PC5-RRC信令或者SCI信令发送给第二终端设备的。第二终端设备接收到发送时域位置与反馈时域位置后,可以确定第一参考信号相对于前述的资源指示信息的相对发送时域和用于对第一参考信号进行反馈的相对反馈时域。例如该相对资源指示信息的相对发送时域和相对反馈时域分别为3个时隙和5个时隙,则第二终端设备在接收到前述的资源指示信息后,能够获知第一参考信号是在资源指示信息后3个时隙发送,从而在相应的时隙对第一参考信号进行接收,并在资源指示信息发送后5个时隙对接收的第一参考信号进行反馈。该相对资源指示信息也可以和前述的资源指示信息一起发送给第二终端设备。
S420,第二终端设备对第一参考信号进行测量,并向第一终端设备发送测量报告。
对应,第一终端设备接收来自第二终端设备的测量报告。
在S420中,测量报告用于指示第一参考信号的接收质量和对应的第三待选波束。接收质量包括第一参考信号L1或L3的RSRP、RSRQ、SINR等参数,测量报告中可以利用信道状态信息参考信号资源指示(CSI-RS resourceindicator,CRI)隐式指示对应的发送波束,该CRI即前述资源指示信息指示的资源,其与该多个第三待选波束一一对应。测量报告中也可以使用波束标识等显示指示对应的发送波束,在这种情况下,前述的第一终端设备向第二终端设备发送的资源指示信息中还可以包括相应的显示指示发送波束的波束标识,例如波束标识可以为波束索引等。
第二终端设备在接收到资源指示信息后就在相应的专用资源上使用之前确定的第二波束接收第一参考信号并对其接收质量进行测量。由于第一终端设备已经在资源指示信息指示了发送第一参考信号的资源,因此,第二终端设备能够将测量结果与相应的发送波束对应。测量结果包括L1或L3的RSRP、RSRQ、SINR等反映接收质量的参数。
上述第二终端设备向第一终端设备发送测量报告时,如果没有可用的资源,可以向第二网络设备请求测量报告的发送资源或解调其他侧行链路的SCI信息获取发送资源,相关细节可以参考前述第一参考信号的专用资源在Mode1和Mode2下的获取方式,此处不再赘述。
S430,第一终端设备根据测量报告,确定第三波束。
第三波束是该多个第三待选波束之一,第一终端设备可以根据测量报告,将接收质量满足预设条件的第一参考信号对应的第三待选波束作为第三波束,例如,可以将接收质量满足门限值的波束作为第三波束,或者,可以将接收质量最好的发送波束作为第三波束。具体细节可以参考第一波束或第二波束的确定方式。
S440,第一终端设备使用第三波束向第二终端设备发送第二参考信号。
对应,第二终端设备使用多个第四待选波束接收第二参考信号。
在S440中,第一终端设备使用第三波束发送第二参考信号,第三波束是第一终端设备确定的优选细颗粒度发送波束,在第一终端设备确定自己的优选细颗粒度发送波束之后,可以使用该第三波束向第二终端设备发送第二参考信号,从而第二终端设备使用多个第四待选波束接收来自第一终端设备的第二参考信号。
第四待选波束是第二波束进一步波束成形形成的细颗粒度波束,第四待选波束的宽度可以小于第二波束。
同样,第一终端设备还可以向第二终端设备发送资源指示信息,指示用于发送第二参考信号的资源,第一种终端设备还可以在发送资源指示信息之前向第二终端设备发送相对资源指示信息用于指示第二参考信号相对于资源指示信息的发送时域位置和用于反馈的反馈时域位置。第二参考信号的资源的相关细节可以参考第一参考信号的资源的相关细节,此处为简洁,不再赘述。
S450,第二终端设备对第二参考信号进行测量,并确定第四波束。
在S450中,第四波束是第四待选波束之一,第二终端设备确定第四波束的过程可以是根据当前第四待选波束的接收质量大于预设门限值或者遍历所有第三波束-第四待选波束组合选择接收质量最高的波束作为第四波束,根据L1或L3的RSRP、RSRQ、SINR等参数确定。
在方法400中,本申请介绍了第一终端设备先确定第三波束再由第二终端设备确定第四波束的过程。在具体情境下,也可以由第二终端设备先确定第四波束,再由第一终端设备确定第三波束。具体步骤如下:
步骤1,第一终端设备使用第一波束向第二终端设备发送第一参考信号。
对应,第二终端设备使用多个第四待选波束从第一终端设备接收第一参考信号。
第四待选波束是第二波束进一步波束成形得到的波束,第四待选波束的宽度可以小于第二波束的宽度。
步骤2,第二终端设备对第一参考信号进行测量,并确定第四波束。
第四波束是第四待选波束之一。
步骤3,第一终端设备使用多个第三待选波束向第二终端设备发送第二参考信号。
对应,第二终端设备使用第四波束接收第二参考信号。
第三待选波束是第一波束进一步波束成形得到的波束,第三待选波束的宽度可以小于第一波束。
步骤4,第二终端设备对第二参考信号进行测量,并向第一终端设备发送测量报告,测量报告指示第三待选波束和对应的第二参考信号的接收质量。
对应,第一终端设备接收来自第二终端设备的测量报告。
步骤5,第一终端设备根据测量报告,确定第三波束。
第三波束是第三待选波束之一。
具体细节可以参考前述的方法400中的描述,此处为简洁,不再赘述。
经过图3和图4的技术方案的步骤,第一终端设备和第二终端设备建立了单播连接。在一些实施例中,第一终端设备和第二终端设备用于通信的第三波束和第四波束的通信质量低于预设阈值,即发生了波束失败。
例如由第一终端设备根据来自第二终端设备的反馈信息确定发生波束失败,该反馈信息可以包括:针对第三波束和第四波束通信的否认(nonacknowledgement,NACK)的反馈、针对第三波束和第四波束通信的非连续传输次数反馈、针对第三波束和第四波束通信的测量信息的反馈中的至少一项,测量信息可以为L1或L3的RSRP、RSRQ、SINR等反映通信质量的参数。
则第一终端设备可以激活用于波束恢复的候选波束的资源,从而进行波束恢复的过程。在一些实施例中,第一终端设备可以通过向第二终端设备发送指示候选波束的资源的配置信息激活用于波束恢复的候选波束的资源,且该候选波束的资源是激活的,从而第一终端设备和第二终端设备可以使用该资源进行波束恢复。在另一些实施例中,第一终端设备在确定波束失败之前向第二终端设备发送指示候选波束的资源的配置信息激活用于波束恢复的候选波束的资源,且该候选波束的资源是去激活的,在确定波束失败之后,激活该候选波束的资源,向第二终端设备发送候选波束激活指示信息指示候选波束的资源已经被激活,从而第二终端设备可以接收第一终端设备激活该候选波束的资源时发送的参考信息,根据对接收质量的测量结果确定用于恢复的波束。
再如由第二终端设备确定波束失败,第二终端设备可以直接根据对参考信号或者数据的接收状况判断发生波束失败,具体指标可以参考第一终端设备确定波束失败的场景。
则第二终端设备在确定波束失败之后,可以向第一终端设备发送波束恢复请求信息,在第二终端设备确定波束失败之前,可以已经接收到第一终端设备发送的指示候选波束的资源的配置信息激活用于波束恢复的候选波束的资源,且该候选波束的资源是去激活的。从而第二终端设备确定发生波束失败之后,可以通过波束恢复请求信息向第一终端设备告知发生波束失败,第一终端设备可以激活预配置的候选波束的资源,并通过候选波束激活指示信息告知第二终端设备候选波束的资源已经被激活。之后第二终端设备可以接收第一终端设备激活该候选波束的资源时发送的参考信息,根据对接收质量的测量结果确定用于恢复的波束。
图6示出了本申请实施例提供的另一种波束管理方法的示意性流程图,如图6所示,该方法包括:
S510,第一终端设备使用多个波束发送第三参考信号。
对应地,多个终端设备使用多个波束接收该第三参考信号。
在S510之前,第一网络设备会向第一终端设备发送资源配置信息,该资源配置信息包括第一资源配置参数,第一资源配置参数中可以包括第一数量门限值,还可以包括第一周期、第一资源、或第一间隔。其中第一周期用于指示第三参考信号的发送周期,第一间隔用于指示同一发送周期内第三参考信号的发送间隔。第一资源用于指示第三参考信号的发送资源,第一数量门限值H1用于指示可用波束的数量门限值。其中,第三参考信号发
送周期指的是第三参考信号的发送周期,第三参考信号的发送间隔指的是在一个发送周期内第三参考信号之间的发送间隔,一个发送周期内每个第三参考信号通过第一终端设备的一个发送波束承载。该资源配置信息中还可以包括第一终端设备的标识。该资源配置参数可以是RRC配置、系统信息(system information block,SIB)配置或预配置信息。
S510中的多个波束可以为第一终端设备的全部波束,也可以是该全部波束中的部分波束。例如该部分波束可以为通过波束赋形获得的所有波束中处于一定角度范围内的波束;再如该部分波束可以为通过测量确定的波束赋形形成的所有波束中接收质量较好的波束。示意性的,该多个波束的数量可以为B1个,B1可以是根据网络设备配置的第一资源等因素确定的,例如当第一资源较多时,第一终端设备可以通过波束赋形形成更多的波束;当第一资源较少时,第一终端设备波束赋形形成的波束数量也较少。第三参考信号可以为SSB信号,第一终端设备发送第三参考信号时可以是周期性发送的,可以按照第一资源配置参数中的第一周期发送第三参考信号,并且使用第一资源发送该第三参考信号,也就是第三参考信号可以是周期性发送的。
该多个终端设备可以包括第二终端设备,也可以不包括第二终端设备。第一终端设备周围的其他终端设备可以进行周期性扫描,从而接收该第三参考信号。
S520,多个终端设备向第一终端设备发送第二反馈信息。
多个终端设备中的任意一个终端设备都可以使用波束赋形获得的多个波束通过波束扫描的方式接收该第三参考信号。第一终端设备使用多个波束发送第三参考信号时,还可以发送承载第三参考信号的波束的波束指示信息,多个终端设备中的任意一个终端设备可以按照一定的映射规则获得与该第三参考信号对应的反馈位置,该映射规则可以是和网络设备预先约定的或预配置的。多个终端设备可以对该第三参考信号进行测量,确定承载于第一终端设备的不同波束的第三参考信号的接收质量,接收质量可以包括L1或L3的RSRP、RSRQ、SINR等。在一些实施例中,该多个终端设备中的每一个终端设备可以向第一终端设备反馈接收质量高于预设阈值的波束(接收质量阈值)。在另一些实施例中,该多个终端设备中的每一个终端设备可以向第一终端设备反馈接收质量最高的波束。示例性的,第一终端设备通过波束赋形获得波束1(beam1)、波束2(beam2)和波束3(beam3),多个终端设备中其中一个终端设备通过波束赋形获得波束4(beam4)、波束5(beam5)。在该终端设备接收第三参考信号时,可以对基于beam1-beam4、beam1-beam5、beam2-beam4、beam2-beam5、beam3-beam4、beam3-beam5的第三参考信号分别测量接收质量。假设承载于beam1-beam4、beam1-beam5和beam3-beam4的第三参考信号的接收质量大于预设阈值,且承载于beam1-beam5的第三参考信号接收质量最高。则该终端设备可以向第一终端设备反馈波束1和波束3;或者该终端设备可以仅向第一终端设备反馈波束1。
终端设备向第一终端设备反馈时可以通过显示的方式向第一终端设备反馈相应的波束,或者通过隐式的方式向第一终端设备反馈相应的波束。通过显示的方式反馈也就是通过直接在反馈信息中反馈波束ID、波束索引、波束接收资源等;通过隐式的方式反馈相应的波束是通过反馈的资源位置隐式指示对应的发送波束,示例性的,承载于波束1、波束2、波束3的第三参考信号的发送时隙分别为时隙1、时隙2和时隙3,对应的默认反馈时隙为时隙4、时隙5和时隙6,如果终端设备需要反馈波束1和波束2,则可以分别在时隙4和时隙5发送反馈信息。这样多个终端设备之中的任意一个终端设备会向第一终
端设备反馈至少一个波束,这些反馈指示第一终端设备的A1个波束,这意味着第一终端设备根据反馈信息确定的A1个波束中每一个波束至少对应一个终端设备(多个终端设备中的一个终端设备)。
在本申请实施例中,第二反馈信息可以理解为多个终端设备发送的反馈信息的集合,也就是多个终端设备中的每个终端设备都会向第一终端设备发送反馈信息,从而第一终端设备会根据这些反馈信息集合构成的第二反馈信息进行后续操作确定多个第一待选波束。
S530,第一终端设备根据A1和H1的数量关系,确定第一待选波束。
在S530中,第一终端设备可以根据多个终端设备发送的反馈信息确定A1个可用波束。可能存在两个或以上终端设备反馈相同的波束的情况。
第一终端设备可以将A1与第一数量门限值H1进行对比,并根据比较的结果确定后续发送DCR信息的波束。具体地,第一终端设备的物理层或MAC层根据A1和H1的数量关系,进行相应的操作。该H1可以是第一网络设备基于第一资源(影响第一终端设备的多个波束的数量B1)、第一周期等因素中的至少一项确定的小于B1的值。
当A1≥H1时,第一终端设备可以将A1个可用波束作为前文提及的多个第一待选波束。该判断过程可以由第一终端设备的物理层或MAC层实现。如果由物理层实现,则物理层会在确定A1≥H1后,将该数量A1或者A1个波束的指示信息上报给MAC层,以便于MAC层确定第一请求信息的重传次数(HARQ重传),或者MAC层向高层指示第一待选波束数量,后续进行单播链接时可以由高层将第一请求信息(DCR信息)重复或重传相应的次数(PDCP重复或PC5-S重传)。进行如下操作从而完成第一终端设备和第二终端设备的单播连接,进一步的还可以进行细颗粒度波束配对:
S1,第一终端设备使用第一待选波束向第二终端设备重复发送第一请求信息。
对应,第二终端设备使用多个第二待选波束接收来自第一终端设备的第一请求信息。
在S1中,第一请求信息包括DCR信息,第一终端设备通过DCR信息触发与第二终端设备的连接。第一请求信息是第一终端设备使用HARQ重传、PDCP重复或者PC5-S重传基于不同方向的第一待选波束发送的,形成波束扫描。
S2,第二终端设备对第一请求信息进行测量,确定第二波束。
第二波束可以是第二待选波束中接收质量最高的波束或者接收质量满足第一门限值的波束。
S3,第二终端设备使用第二波束向第一终端设备发送第一反馈信息。
对应,第一终端设备使用第一待选波束接收来自第一终端设备的第一反馈信息。
在S3中,第一反馈信息中包括DCA信息,是对DCR信息的反馈。
S4,第一终端设备对第一反馈信息进行测量,确定第一波束。
可选的,S1中第一请求信息中包括第一待选波束的波束指示信息,S4中第一反馈信息中包括第二波束对应的承载第一请求信息的第一待选波束的指示信息,第一终端设备只要通过盲扫成功接收该第一反馈信息,即可以直接根据第一待选波束的指示信息,确定第一波束。
通过S1-S4,第一终端设备和第二终端设备可以完成单播连接,第一终端设备还可以通过下述步骤S4-S9进行细颗粒度波束配对。
S5,第一终端设备根据第一波束,使用多个第三待选波束向第二终端设备发送第一参
考信号。
对应,第二终端设备使用第二波束从第一终端设备接收基于多个第三待选波束发送的第一参考信号。
在S5之前,第一终端设备可以向第二终端设备发送PC5-RRC信息,对应,第二终端设备接收该PC5-RRC信息。
该PC5-RRC信息包括第一参考信号的发送资源、发送周期、发送间隔、反馈阈值、反馈资源等,还可以包括第二终端设备的ID。该PC5-RRC信息中包括的配置信息可以是来源于第一网络设备发送的RRC信息或SIB信息,也可以为预配置信息。
第一参考信号可以单独发送,也就是不随PSSCH发送,以第一参考信号为CSI-RS为例,PC5-RRC信息中可以包括第一参考信号的资源位置、发送周期等。
第一参考信号也可以随着周期性的PSSCH发送,例如随着周期性的padding包发送,第一终端设备可以通过SCI信息指示第一参考信号的发送资源位置以及反馈资源位置。
第一参考信号的资源可以是专门配置的资源,也可以是第一终端设备在预配置的资源集合选择的资源。
第二终端设备接收该PC5-RRC信息后可以向第一终端设备发送PC5-RRC完成信息,指示第二终端设备成功接收该PC5-RRC信息。
S6,第二终端设备对第一参考信号进行测量,并向第一终端设备发送测量报告。
对应,第一终端设备接收来自第二终端设备的测量报告。
S7,第一终端设备根据测量报告,确定第三波束。
第三波束是该多个第三待选波束之一,第一终端设备可以根据测量报告,将接收质量满足预设条件的第一参考信号对应的第三待选波束作为第三波束,例如,可以将接收质量满足门限值的波束作为第三波束,或者,可以将接收质量最好的发送波束作为第三波束。
S8,第一终端设备使用第三波束向第二终端设备发送第二参考信号。
对应,第二终端设备使用多个第四待选波束接收第二参考信号。
S9,第二终端设备对第二参考信号进行测量,并确定第四波束。
或者,第二终端设备在S5可以使用多个第四待选波束接收该第一参考信号,从而可以根据接收质量直接确定第四波束为最优波束,第二终端设备可以向第一终端设备发送测量报告,并反馈接收第一参考信号时第一终端设备的发送波束ID或发送资源以及对应的接收质量,第一终端设备可以根据该测量报告确定最优波束。第一终端设备和第二终端设备可以基于双方的最优波束建立波束配对关系。
上述S1-S9步骤的细节可以参考图3和图4的相关实施例的描述,此处不再赘述。
当A1<H1时,第一终端设备和第二终端设备可以执行以下任意一项操作:
操作1:
获取第二资源配置参数,第二资源配置参数中可以包括第二数量门限值H2,还可以包括第二周期、第二间隔和第二资源。其中,第二周期小于第一周期和/或第二间隔小于第一间隔和/或第二资源少于第一资源。当第二周期小于第一周期或第二间隔小于第一间隔时,第一终端设备在按照S510-S530步骤获取可用波束时,可能可以获取到更多的可用波束数量A2从而使得A2≥H2。第一资源可以与第二资源大小相同,第一数量门限值和第二数量门限值也可以相同。可选的,第一资源和第二资源可以不同和/或第一数量门限值
和第二数量门限值可以不同。
当第二资源少于第一资源时,第一终端设备在使用第二资源配置参数进行波束赋形时,获得的波束数量更少,从而单个波束的宽度更宽,覆盖范围也更大,这时,第二数量门限值可以小于第一数量门限值,从而使得A2≥H2可能实现。
按照与S510-S530类似的步骤进行操作后,可以确定A2个可用波束后,比较A2和H2的大小,并根据A2和H2的大小确定是否需要获取第三资源配置参数,如果A2<H2,第一终端设备会继续下一资源配置参数,直至获取第n资源配置参数后确认的An≥Hn。也就是说,第一终端设备在获取第一资源配置参数、第二资源配置参数……第n-1资源配置参数后确定的A1<H1,A2<H2……An-1<Hn-1后,会继续获取第n资源配置参数,当第一终端设备获取第n资源配置参数后,按照与S510-S530类似的步骤进行操作后,可以确定An个可用波束,比较An和Hn的大小,若An≥Hn,可以按照上述S1-S4的步骤,将An个可用波束作为第一待选波束与第二终端设备进行单播连接,可选的,还可以继续按照S5-S9的步骤进一步进行细颗粒度配对。
通过上述方式,最终可以实现An≥Hn,这样通过第一终端设备的周围的终端设备的反馈信息使得没有其他终端设备位置的波束被剔除。避免了第一终端设备直接使用波束赋形获得的所有波束发送DCR信息使得单播连接过程延长,并且保留一定数量的波束便于单播连接时获取合适的波束。
第一终端设备可以通过两种方式获取下一资源配置参数。在一些实施例中,可以由第一终端设备在每次获取资源配置参数时向第一网络设备发送请求信息,从而第一网络设备在接收到该请求信息时可以向第一终端设备发送资源配置参数,并且网络设备该次发送的资源配置参数中需要满足一定的条件。也就是获取第m资源配置参数时的第m周期小于第m-1周期,和/或第m间隔小于第m-1间隔,和/或第m资源少于第m-1资源(第m-1周期、第m-1间隔、第m-1间隔分别为第m-1资源配置参数中指示的第三参考信号的发送周期,同一发送周期内的第三参考信号的间隔、第三参考信号的发送资源;第m周期、第m间隔、第m间隔分别为第m资源配置参数中指示的第三参考信号的发送周期,同一发送周期内的第三参考信号的发送间隔、第三参考信号的发送资源),这样随时配置随时使用减小了预配置资源导致的浪费。第一终端设备向第一网络设备发送请求时需要处于RRC连接态,并且第一终端设备可以通过上报可用波束的数量从而请求第一网络设备下发下一资源配置参数。
在另一些实施例中,第一网络设备在向第一终端设备发送资源配置信息时,第一资源配置参数、第二资源配置参数…第n资源配置参数均是通过资源配置列表发送的,该资源配置列表是第一终端设备第一次发送第三参考信号之前发送给第一终端设备的。第一资源配置参数、第二资源配置参数…第n资源配置参数在资源配置列表中按一定规律排列,例如通过顺序或倒序等方式排列。从而第一终端设备在基于第m-1资源配置参数获得的可用波束数量Am-1小于第m-1数量门限值Hm-1时,直接从资源配置列表中获取第m资源配置参数,从而减小了第一终端设备和第一网络设备之间的信令交互。另外,由于第一网络设备通过资源配置信息将预配置的所有资源配置参数通过资源配置列表的形式一次性发送给第一终端设备,第一终端设备无需一定要处于RRC连接态,也可以处于RRC非连接态或位于无线接入网没有覆盖的区域。如果第一终端设备处于RRC非连接态该资源配置信
息可以通过系统信息(system information block,SIB)配置。如果第一终端设备处于没有无线网连接的区域,该资源配置列表可以是预配置的。
操作2:第一终端设备将全向波束作为第一待选波束,全向波束并非通过波束赋形而获得的波束,是没有方向性,或者指向空间所有方向的波束,第一终端设备可以按照以下步骤S11-S12与第二终端设备进行单播连接,可选的,还可以继续按照S13-S16进行细颗粒度波束配对。
S11,第一终端设备使用全向波束向第二终端设备发送第一请求信息。
对应,第二终端设备使用全向波束接收来自第一终端设备的第一请求信息。
在S11中,第一请求信息包括DCR信息,第一终端设备通过DCR信息触发与第二终端设备的连接。
S12,第二终端设备使用全向波束向第一终端设备发送第一反馈信息。
对应,第一终端设备使用全向波束接收来自第一终端设备的第一反馈信息。
在S12中,第一反馈信息中包括DCA信息,是对DCR信息的反馈。
在S11和S12中,第一终端设备和第二终端设备可以在FR1(frequency rang)或FR2上全向发送或接收DCR信息、DCA信息,从而建立单播连接,FR1对应的频率范围为450MHz-6000MHz,FR2对应的频率范围为24250MHz-52600MHz。
通过S11-S12,第一终端设备和第二终端设备可以完成单播连接。可选的,第一终端设备还可以通过下述步骤S13-S16进行细颗粒度波束配对。
S13,第一终端设备使用多个第三待选波束向第二终端设备发送第一参考信号。
对应,第二终端设备使用多个第四待选波束从第一终端设备接收基于多个第三待选波束发送的第一参考信号。
第一参考信号可以为SSB信号或者CSI-RS信号。
在S13之前,第一终端设备会向第二终端设备发送配置信息,可以通过PC5-RRC信息发送,该配置信息可以包括第一参考信号的发送资源、发送周期、反馈资源、第二终端设备的标识等。
该PC5-RRC信息包括第一参考信号的发送资源、发送周期、发送间隔、反馈阈值(用于指示反馈门限)、反馈资源等,还可以包括第二终端设备的ID。该PC5-RRC信息中包括的配置信息可以是来源于第一网络设备发送的RRC信息或SIB信息,也可以为预配置信息。
第一参考信号可以单独发送,也就是不随PSSCH发送,以第一参考信号为CSI-RS为例,PC5-RRC信息中可以包括CSI-RS set、资源位置、发送周期等。
第一参考信号也可以随着周期性的PSSCH发送,例如随着周期性的padding包发送,第一终端设备可以通过SCI信息指示第一参考信号的发送资源位置以及反馈资源位置。
第一参考信号的资源可以是专门配置的资源,也可以是第一终端设备在预配置的资源集合选择的资源。
第二终端设备接收该PC5-RRC信息后可以向第一终端设备发送PC5-RRC完成信息,指示第二终端设备成功接收该PC5-RRC信息。
该配置资源可以单独发送或者随着PSSCH发送,也就是与数据一起发送。
S14,第二终端设备对第一参考信号进行测量,确定第四波束。
第二终端设备在接收该参考信号时,可以对该第一参考信号进行测量,并根据测量结果确定最优波束(第四波束)。
S15,第二终端设备向第一终端设备发送第一参考信号的测量报告。
对应,第一终端设备接收来自第二终端设备的测量报告。
S16,第一终端设备根据测量报告,确定第三波束。
第三波束是该多个第三待选波束之一,第一终端设备可以根据测量报告,将接收质量满足预设条件的第一参考信号对应的第三待选波束作为第三波束,例如,可以将接收质量满足门限值的波束作为第三波束,或者,可以将接收质量最好的发送波束作为第三波束。
这样,当A1<H1时,第一终端设备使用全向波束发送DCR信息与第二终端设备进行单播连接,由于全向波束覆盖所有方向或空间,能够提高单播连接的成功率,避免确定的可用波束过少使得单播连接失败。
使用全向波束可发送DCR信息时,该DCR信息可以覆盖周围所有空间。
操作3:第一终端设备将S510中的多个波束作为第一待选波束,与第二终端设备按照步骤S1-S4与第二终端设备进行单播连接,可选的,还可以继续按照S5-S9进行细颗粒度波束配对。
这样,当A1<H1时,第一终端设备使用发送第三参考信号的所有波束发送DCR信息与第二终端设备进行单播连接,避免确定的可用波束较少使得单播连接失败。
该判断A1<H1或An<Hn的过程可以由物理层或MAC层完成,之后确定使用B1或Bn个波束或者全向波束发送第一请求信息(DCR信息)。如果由物理层完成,可以由第一终端设备物理层将该B1或Bn上报给MAC层,或者上报发送第一请求信息(DCR信息)的波束为B1或Bn个波束,以便于MAC层确定第一请求信息的重传次数(HARQ重传),或者MAC层向高层指示第一待选波束数量,后续进行单播链接时可以由高层将第一请求信息(DCR信息)重复或重传相应的次数(PDCP重复或PC5-S重传)。如果物理层确定使用全向波束发送第一请求信息,可以向MAC层上报使用全向波束发送该第一请求信息,进一步,还可以由MAC层向高层上报使用全向波束发送第一请求信息。
应理解,操作2和操作3无需一定在A1<H1时才能实施,例如可以在第一终端设备获取超过预设阈值的资源配置参数后即使用全向波束或者S510中的多个波束发送DCR信息与第二终端设备进行单播连接。示例性的,第一网络设备和第一终端设备可以约定第一终端设备在获取三次资源配置参数之后,如果A3<H3,则可以之后使用全向波束或者S510的多个波束向第二终端设备发送DCR信息进行单播链接。或者,如果第一终端设备用完第一网络设备给第一终端设备发送的资源配置参数列表中所有资源配置参数之后,可以直接进行操作2或操作3。
还应理解,上文虽然描述了第一终端设备根据第一资源配置参数,确定第一待选波束(或根据第n资源配置参数,确定第一待选波束)。但是在实际情况中,第一终端设备不一定有确定的步骤,而是直接根据判断的结果使用An个波束或使用Bn个波束或使用全向波束向需要建立链接的第二终端设备发送第一请求信息建立单播连接。
另外,上文介绍的通过第一终端设备发送第三参考信号从而获取可用波束,并通过比较可用波束的数量与资源配置参数中的数量门限值(第N数量门限值)大小进一步确定与第二终端设备进行单播连接所使用的波束之外。第一终端设备还可以通过以下方式确定可
用波束:
S21,第一终端设备使用波束赋形形成的多个波束接收多个终端设备发送的SSB信号。
S22,第一终端设备根据SSB信号的接收质量确定可用波束。
假设第一终端设备接收SSB信号使用的波束数量为B1,确定的可用波束数量为A1,则第一终端设备可以和网络设备约定当可用波束数量大于或等于预设阈值时,可以使用该可用波束发送DCR信息与第一终端设备进行单播连接;或者第一终端设备可以和网络设备约定当可用波束数量A1与接收SSB信号使用的波束数量B1的比值大于或等于预设阈值时,可以使用该可用波束发送DCR信息与第一终端设备进行单播连接。
A1小于预设阈值或A1/B1小于预设阈值时,第一终端设备可以直接使用全向波束或者接收SSB信号的所有波束向第二终端设备发送DCR信息进行单播连接。
图7示出了本申请实施例提供的一种波束管理方法示意性流程图,用于实现图3和图4的技术方案。
S602,第一终端设备使用多个第一待选波束向第二终端设备重复发送第一请求信息。
对应,第二终端设备使用多个第二待选波束接收来自第一终端设备的第一请求信息。
在S602中,第一请求信息包括DCR信息,第一终端设备通过DCR信息触发与第二终端设备的连接。第一请求信息是第一终端设备使用HARQ重传、PDCP重复或者PC5-S重传基于不同方向的第一待选波束发送的,形成波束扫描。

可选的,如果按照图6的S510-S530步骤,将全向波束作为后续单播连接使用的波束,则S602变成:第一终端设备使用全向波束向第二终端设备发送第一请求信息。后续S603、S608步骤对应去除,S610-S624的步骤中第一终端设备不是在第一波束的基础上而是在全向波束的基础上进行细颗粒度波束配对,此处不再赘述。
S603,第一终端设备向第二终端设备发送第一待选波束的数目。
对应,第二终端设备接收来自第一终端设备的第一待选波束的数目。
S604,第二终端设备对第一请求信息进行测量,确定第二波束。

S606,第二终端设备使用第二波束向第一终端设备发送第一反馈信息。
对应,第一终端设备使用多个第一待选波束接收来自第一终端设备的第一反馈信息。

S608,第一终端设备对第一反馈信息进行测量,确定第一波束。
可选的,S602中第一请求信息中包括第一待选波束的波束指示信息,S606中第一反馈信息中包括第二波束对应的承载第一请求信息的第一待选波束的指示信息,第一终端设备只要通过盲扫成功接收该第一反馈信息,即可以直接根据第一待选波束的指示信息,确定第一波束。
S610,第一网络设备向第一终端设备发送资源配置参数。
资源配置参数可以包括多个CSI-RS参考信号相对于资源指示信息的相对发送时域位置和反馈时域位置。
资源配置参数可以是基于第一终端设备的请求而发送。
