Description

一种通信方法及通信装置
本申请要求于2022年02月28日提交中国国家知识产权局，申请号为202210193794.2，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
本申请涉及无线技术领域，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，网络设备可以通过终端设备发送的信道状态信息(channel state information，CSI)确定下行信道质量信息，CSI包括信道质量指示(channel quality indicator，CQI)和预编码矩阵指示(precoding matrix indicator，PMI)等。以CQI为例，网络设备还可以根据CQI进一步确定码率、调制与编码策略(modulation and coding scheme，MCS)或频谱效率等。
目前，在接收信道状态信息参考信号(channel state information reference signal，CSI-RS)之后，终端设备在进行下行信道的CQI测量过程中，该终端设备需要明确在该下行信道传输的数据流与CSI-RS端口之间的映射关系。以单站通信场景为例，终端设备接收来自某一个网络设备的CSI-RS之后，可以基于下行信道传输的数据流与该网络设备的CSI-RS端口之间的映射关系执行CQI测量。
此外，在不同的网络设备分别与该终端设备传输独立的数据流的场景下(例如该场景可以包括非相干联合传输(non-coherent joint transmission，NCJT)的通信场景)，终端设备所接收的某个数据流仅来自于某一个网络设备，使得终端设备接收来自不同的网络设备的CSI-RS之后，该终端设备可以沿用上述单站通信场景中的映射关系执行CQI测量。以该不同的网络设备包括网络设备1和网络设备2为例，终端设备需要基于与网络设备1之间的下行信道传输的数据流与该网络设备1的CSI-RS端口之间的映射关系，并基于与网络设备2之间的下行信道传输的数据流与该网络设备2的CSI-RS端口之间的映射关系上报一个CQI。
然而，在不同的网络设备与终端设备之间传输的数据流不再是独立的场景下(例如，该场景可以包括相干传输(coherent joint transmission，CJT)的通信场景)，由于终端设备所接收的某个数据流来自多个不同的网络设备，在终端设备沿用上述单站通信场景执行CQI测量的情况下，容易造成CQI测量不准，导致网络设备基于CQI所获得的下行信道质量的准确度降低，进而影响通信效率。
发明内容
本申请第一方面提供了一种通信方法，该方法由终端设备执行，或者，该方法由终端设备中的部分组件(例如处理器、芯片或芯片系统等)执行，或者该方法还可以由能实现全部或部分终端设备功能的逻辑模块或软件实现。在第一方面及其可能的实现方式中，以 该通信方法由终端设备执行为例进行描述。在该方法中，终端设备接收第一配置信息，该第一配置信息包括n个CSI-RS的配置信息，n为大于1的整数；该终端设备基于该第一配置信息接收n个CSI-RS；该终端设备根据m个CSI-RS和映射关系确定CQI，该CQI用于指示物理下行共享信道(physical downlink shared channel，PDSCH)的信道质量；其中，该映射关系为该PDSCH的数据流与该m个CSI-RS对应的CSI-RS端口之间的映射关系；其中，该m个CSI-RS包含于该n个CSI-RS，m为大于1的整数，且m小于或等于n。
基于上述技术方案，终端设备在基于第一配置信息接收n个CSI-RS之后，该终端设备基于n个CSI-RS中的m个CSI-RS和映射关系确定CQI。其中，该CQI用于指示PDSCH的信道质量，且用于确定CQI的映射关系为该PDSCH的数据流与该m个CSI-RS对应的CSI-RS端口之间的映射关系，且m为大于1的整数，即m个CSI-RS来自于不同的网络设备。换言之，在PDSCH的数据流中的单个数据流来自于多个不同的网络设备的场景下，终端设备确定CQI的过程中，终端设备认为/假设(assume)PDSCH的数据流与不同的网络设备对应的CSI-RS端口之间存在该映射关系，使得终端设备基于该映射关系明确PDSCH的数据流与不同网络设备之间的对应关系，并确定和发送CQI。从而，在终端设备所接收的数据流来自不同的网络设备的应用场景中，提升终端设备所确定的CQI的准确度，使得网络设备后续基于该CQI所获得的下行信道质量的准确度得以提升，进而提升通信效率。
应理解，终端设备所接收的n个CSI-RS分别来自n个不同的网络设备，本申请对于该n个不同的网络设备之间的协作关系以及发送第一配置信息的网络设备不做限定。例如，该n个不同的网络设备可以包括一个主网络设备(或称服务传输接收点(transmission reception point,TRP))以及n-1个辅网络设备(或称协作TRP)，在这种情况下，发送第一配置信息的网络设备可以为该主网络设备或任一辅网络设备；又如，该n个不同的网络设备可以包括不区分主网络设备和辅网络设备，在这种情况下，发送第一配置信息的网络设备可以为该n个网络设备中的任意一个网络设备。
应理解，在第一方面的一种可能的实现方式中，该映射关系为PDSCH的每个数据流根据该数据流对应的预编码矩阵映射到该m个CSI-RS对应的所有CSI-RS端口上。或者说，该映射关系用于指示PDSCH的每个数据流根据该数据流对应的预编码矩阵映射到该m个CSI-RS对应的所有CSI-RS端口上。
通过这个映射关系，可以将PDSCH的某个数据流映射到多个CSI-RS的端口上，由于每个CSI-RS可以对应一个网络设备(例如TRP)，这样PDSCH的某个数据流可以通过多个TRP联合发送。该数据流对应的预编码矩阵可以保证多个TRP间的相位相干性。
在第一方面的一种可能的实现方式中，在根据m个CSI-RS和映射关系确定CQI之前，该方法还包括：从该n个CSI-RS中确定该m个CSI-RS。
基于上述技术方案，终端设备在接收n个CSI-RS之后，该终端设备基于n个CSI-RS中的部分或全部CSI-RS(即m个CSI-RS)确定该CQI。换言之，终端设备可以基于预配置的选择机制在n个CSI-RS选择部分或全部CSI-RS(即m个CSI-RS)之后，该终端设备再进一步基于所选择的m个CSI-RS确定CQI。从而，终端设备能够在n个CSI-RS中灵活地选择满足该预配置的选择机制的m个CSI-RS，以提升方案实现的灵活性。
在第一方面的一种可能的实现方式中，从该n个CSI-RS中确定该m个CSI-RS包括：基于第一参数和该n个CSI-RS确定该m个CSI-RS，该第一参数包括该m的取值或第一阈值。
可选地，该第一参数预配置于该终端设备。
可选地，该第一参数为网络设备向该终端设备发送的，该第一参数可以包含于第一配置信息或者其它信息中。
应理解，该第一阈值可以指示传输性能阈值，例如参考信号接收功率(reference signal received power，RSRP)阈值，参考信号接收质量(reference signal received quality，RSRQ)阈值或者其他的性能参数阈值，此处不做限定。
在第一方面的一种可能的实现方式中，该n个CSI-RS对应多种测量假设，该测量假设用于确定该CQI对应的该m个CSI-RS。
基于上述技术方案，该n个CSI-RS分别对应于n个不同的网络设备，而n个不同的网络设备中任意两个或两个以上的网络设备可以组成提供通信服务的协作集。其中，每一种协作集可以称为一种测量假设，即n个CSI-RS对应多种测量假设，且多种测量假设中的某一种测量假设对应该m个CSI-RS，使得该测量假设能够确定CQI对应的m个CSI-RS。
在第一方面的一种可能的实现方式中，该方法还包括：接收第一指示信息，该第一指示信息指示该多种测量假设中的至少一种测量假设；从该至少一种测量假设中确定一种测量假设，该一种测量假设对应该m个CSI-RS。
可选地，第一指示信息包含于第一配置信息，或者，第一指示信息包含于其它信息，此处不做限定。
基于上述技术方案，该终端设备还可以基于第一指示信息所指示的至少一种测量假设在n个CSI-RS所对应的多种测量假设确定其中一种测量假设，并基于该一种测量假设所对应的网络设备确定CQI对应的m个CSI-RS。
应理解，第一指示信息可以用于包括该至少一种测量假设所对应的网络设备的索引，第一指示信息也可以包括该至少一种测量假设所对应的CSI-RS的索引，第一指示信息还可以包括该至少一种测量假设所对应的网络设备的CSI-RS端口集合的索引，第一指示信息还可以通过其它方式指示该多种测量假设中的至少一种测量假设，此处不做限定。
在第一方面的一种可能的实现方式中，该方法还包括：接收第二指示信息，该第二指示信息用于指示该多种测量假设中的至少一种测量假设中每个CSI-RS对应的功率偏置量；其中，该功率偏置量用于指示第一信号能量和第二信号能量之间的比值，该第一信号能量为映射在每个CSI-RS对应的CSI-RS端口的PDSCH的数据流的每个资源单元上的能量(energy per resource element，EPRE)，该第二信号能量为每个CSI-RS的EPRE；终端设备根据m个CSI-RS和映射关系确定CQI包括：该终端设备根据该第二指示信息，该m个CSI-RS和该映射关系确定该CQI。
可选地，第二指示信息包含于第一配置信息，或者，第二指示信息包含于其它信息，此处不做限定。
基于上述技术方案，在CQI所指示的PDSCH中，由于在计算CQI时所假设的PDSCH的 数据流映射在每个CSI-RS对应的CSI-RS端口上的EPRE与CSI-RS的EPRE之间往往存在一定的偏差，终端设备所接收的第二指示信息所指示的功率偏置量用于指示该偏差，使得终端设备在确定CQI的过程中可以基于该功率偏置量减小或消除该偏差的影响，以进一步提升该终端设备所确定的CQI的准确度。
此外，在该实现方式中，该第二指示信息用于指示该多种测量假设中的至少一种测量假设中每个CSI-RS对应的功率偏置量，换言之，终端设备所接收的功率偏置量可以是基于测量假设为配置粒度所配置的。其中，不同的测量假设对应参与协作的网络设备是不同的，使得同一个CSI-RS在不同的测量假设下所对应的功率偏置量有可能是不同的，通过基于测量假设为配置粒度的配置方式，可以进一步提升基于该功率偏置量所获得的CQI的准确度。
在第一方面的一种可能的实现方式中，该方法还包括：接收第二指示信息，该第二指示信息用于指示该n个CSI-RS中每个CSI-RS对应的功率偏置量；其中，该功率偏置量用于指示第一信号能量和第二信号能量之间的比值，该第一信号能量为映射在每个CSI-RS对应的CSI-RS端口的PDSCH的数据流的EPRE，该第二信号能量为每个CSI-RS的EPRE；终端设备根据m个CSI-RS和映射关系确定CQI包括：该终端设备根据该第二指示信息，该m个CSI-RS和该映射关系确定该CQI。
可选地，第二指示信息包含于第一配置信息，或者，第二指示信息包含于其它信息，此处不做限定。
基于上述技术方案，在CQI所指示的PDSCH中，由于在计算CQI时所假设的PDSCH的数据流映射在每个CSI-RS对应的CSI-RS端口上的EPRE与CSI-RS的EPRE之间往往存在一定的偏差，终端设备所接收的第二指示信息所指示的功率偏置量用于指示该偏差，使得终端设备在确定CQI的过程中可以基于该功率偏置量减小或消除该偏差的影响，以进一步提升该终端设备所确定的CQI的准确度。
此外，在该实现方式中，该第二指示信息用于指示该n个CSI-RS中每个CSI-RS对应的功率偏置量，换言之，终端设备所接收的功率偏置量可以是以CSI-RS为配置粒度所配置的，即第二指示信息用于指示n个CSI-RS分别对应的功率偏置量。使得终端设备在确定CQI对应的m个CSI-RS之后，即可在该n个CSI-RS分别对应的功率偏置量中确定m个CSI-RS分别对应的功率偏置量，易于实现。
可选地，由上述两种可能的实现方式可知，功率偏置量用于指示第一信号能量和第二信号能量之间的比值。其中，第一信号能量和第二信号能量除了上述“第一信号能量为映射在每个CSI-RS对应的CSI-RS端口的PDSCH的数据流的EPRE，该第二信号能量为每个CSI-RS的EPRE”的定义之外，对于m个(或n个)CSI-RS中的每个CSI-RS对应的功率偏置量，还可以存在其它的定义，示例如下：
示例一：第一信号能量为映射在该CSI-RS的PDSCH的每个数据流的能量，该第二信号能量为该CSI-RS中一个CSI-RS端口的能量。
示例二：第一信号能量为映射在该CSI-RS的PDSCH的所有数据流在一个RE上的能量的总和，该第二信号能量为该CSI-RS的每个CSI-RS端口的能量的总和。
示例三：第一信号能量为映射在该CSI-RSPDSCH的所有数据流的能量的总和，该第二 信号能量为该CSI-RS的EPRE。
在第一方面的一种可能的实现方式中，该第二指示信息所指示的该每个CSI-RS对应的功率偏置量相同。
基于上述技术方案，该第二指示信息所指示的该每个CSI-RS对应的功率偏置量相同，可以简化该第二指示信息的配置，节省开销且易于实现。
在第一方面的一种可能的实现方式中，该n个CSI-RS的配置信息中的每个配置信息用于指示一个CSI-RS端口集合；该一个CSI-RS端口集合包括一个CSI-RS资源，n个该CSI-RS资源属于同一CSI-RS资源集；或，该一个CSI-RS端口集合包括至少一个端口，n个CSI-RS端口集合所包含的该端口属于同一CSI-RS资源。
基于上述技术方案，该n个CSI-RS的配置信息中的每个配置信息用于指示一个CSI-RS端口集合，即n个CSI-RS分别来自于n个不同的CSI-RS端口集合。并且，n个不同的CSI-RS端口集合属于同一CSI-RS资源集或n个不同的CSI-RS端口集合属于同一CSI-RS资源。使得参与协作的n个网络设备基于同一CSI-RS资源集或同一CSI-RS资源发送n个CSI-RS，易于实现n个CSI-RS的信号收发的同时，也节省n个CSI-RS的配置信息的开销。
在第一方面的一种可能的实现方式中，该CQI包含于CSI，该CSI还包括以下至少一项：
该m个CSI-RS对应的CSI-RS端口集合的索引；或，

此外，在该实现方式中，该第二指示信息用于指示该多种测量假设中的至少一种测量假设中每个CSI-RS对应的功率偏置量，换言之，网络设备所发送的功率偏置量可以是基于测量假设为配置粒度所配置的。其中，不同的测量假设对应参与协作的网络设备是不同的，使得同一个CSI-RS在不同的测量假设下所对应的功率偏置量有可能是不同的，通过基于测量假设为配置粒度的配置方式，可以进一步提升基于该功率偏置量所获得的CQI的准确度。

可选地，第二指示信息包含于第一配置信息，或者，第二指示信息包含于其它信息，此处不做限定。
基于上述技术方案，在CQI所指示的PDSCH中，由于在计算CQI时所假设的PDSCH的数据流映射在每个CSI-RS对应的CSI-RS端口上的EPRE与CSI-RS的EPRE之间往往存在一定的偏差，网络设备所发送的第二指示信息所指示的功率偏置量用于指示该偏差，使得终端设备在确定CQI的过程中可以基于该功率偏置量减小或消除该偏差的影响，以进一步提升该终端设备所确定的CQI的准确度。
此外，在该实现方式中，该第二指示信息用于指示该n个CSI-RS中每个CSI-RS对应的功率偏置量，换言之，网络设备所发送的功率偏置量可以是以CSI-RS为配置粒度所配置的，即第二指示信息用于指示n个CSI-RS分别对应的功率偏置量。使得终端设备在确定CQI对应的m个CSI-RS之后，即可在该n个CSI-RS分别对应的功率偏置量中确定m个CSI-RS分别对应的功率偏置量，易于实现。
可选地，由上述两种可能的实现方式可知，功率偏置量用于指示第一信号能量和第二信号能量之间的比值。其中，第一信号能量和第二信号能量除了上述“第一信号能量为映射在每个CSI-RS对应的CSI-RS端口的PDSCH的数据流的EPRE，该第二信号能量为每个CSI-RS的EPRE”的定义之外，对于m个(或n个)CSI-RS中的每个CSI-RS对应的功率偏置量，还可以存在其它的定义，示例如下：
示例一：第一信号能量为映射在该CSI-RS的PDSCH的每个数据流的能量，该第二信号能量为该CSI-RS中一个CSI-RS端口的能量。
示例二：第一信号能量为映射在该CSI-RS的PDSCH的所有数据流在一个RE上的能量的总和，该第二信号能量为该CSI-RS的每个CSI-RS端口的能量的总和。

应理解，对于设备中的部件来说，上文该的“发送”可以称为“输出”，“接收”可以称为“输入”。
从以上技术方案可以看出，本申请实施例包括如下有益效果：
在一些实现方式中，终端设备在基于第一配置信息接收n个CSI-RS之后，该终端设备基于n个CSI-RS中的m个CSI-RS和映射关系确定CQI。其中，该CQI用于指示PDSCH的信道质量，且用于确定CQI的映射关系为该PDSCH的数据流与该m个CSI-RS对应的CSI-RS端口之间的映射关系，且m为大于1的整数，即m个CSI-RS来自于不同的网络设备。换言之，在PDSCH的数据流来自于不同的网络设备的场景下，终端设备确定CQI的过程中，终端设备认为/假设(assume)PDSCH的数据流与不同的网络设备对应的CSI-RS端口之间存在该映射关系，使得终端设备基于该映射关系明确PDSCH的数据流与不同网络设备之间的对应关系，并确定和发送CQI。从而，在终端设备所接收的数据流来自不同的网络设备的应用场景中，提升终端设备所确定的CQI的准确度，使得网络设备后续基于该CQI所获得的下行信道质量的准确度得以提升，进而提升通信效率。
在另一些实现方式中，终端设备所接收的第一配置信息包括n个CSI-RS的配置信息，以及与该n个CSI-RS对应的CBSR配置信息，且该CBSR配置信息用于配置多个CBSR。此后，该终端设备基于该第一配置信息中的n个CSI-RS的配置信息接收n个CSI-RS之后，该终端设备基于第一配置信息中的CBSR配置信息所配置的多个CBSR确定PMI，且m为大于1的整数，即m个CSI-RS来自于不同的网络设备。换言之，终端设备用于接收来自不同的网络设备的CSI-RS的配置信息以及不同的网络设备所对应的CBSR的配置信息均位于该第一配置信息。相比于终端设备需要分别接收来自不同网络设备的配置信息，用以分别确定不同网络设备的CSI-RS的配置信息以及不同的网络设备所对应的CBSR的配置信息的实现方式，可以节省开销，提升通信效率。此外，上述技术方案可以应用在终端设备所接收的数据流来自不同的网络设备的应用场景中，实现了该场景下对不同网络设备的CBSR进行配置，并使得终端设备明确在该应用场景下，可以基于第一配置信息获取不同网络设备对应的CBSR，并基于该CBSR配置信息发送PMI。

具体实施方式
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(或称为终端、用户、用户终端、终端用户、用户设备等)：可以是能够与网络设备进行通信的无线终端设备，无线终端设备可以是向用户提供语音和/或数据的设备，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))、计算机或数据卡，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。例如，终端可以是个人通信业务(personal communication service，PCS)电话、无绳电话、会话发起协议(session initiation protocol，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。终端也可以称为系统、订阅单元(subscriber unit)、订阅站(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(remote terminal)、接入终端(access terminal)、用户终端(user terminal)、用户代理(user agent)、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，第五代(5th generation,5G)通信系统中的终端设备或者未来演进的网络中的终端设备等。
此外，本申请所涉及的终端可以广泛应用于各种场景，例如，设备到设备(devicetodevice，D2D)、车物(vehicleto everything，V2X)通信、机器类通信(machine-type communication，MTC)、物联网(internet of things，IOT)、虚拟现实、增强现实、工业控制、自动驾驶、远程医疗、智能电网、智能家具、智能办公、智能穿戴、智能交通、智慧城市等。终端可以是手机、平板电脑、带无线收发功能的电脑、可穿戴设备、车辆、无人机、直升机、飞机、轮船、机器人、机械臂、智能家居设备等。本申请的实施例对终端所采用的具体技术和具体设备形态不做限定。
(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)，可以称为无线接入网设备，一般也可以称为基站。目前，一些RAN设备的举例为：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)节点和/或分布单元(distributed unit，DU)节点。
此外，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。
可以理解，网络设备还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。
本申请中，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。
(3)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)。该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，NCJT)：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后各自向终端设备发送独立的数据流，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；假设TRP1和TRP2做联合传输且各具备M个发送天线，各自传输N流数据，则联合发送的预编码矩阵为：矩阵前M行对应TRP1的发送天线，后M行对应TRP2的发送天线，B1和B2的维度均是M*N。
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后同时向终端设备发送同一数据流，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；假设TRP1和TRP2做联合传输且各具备M 个发送天线，各自传输N流数据，则联合发送的预编码矩阵为：矩阵前M行对应TRP1的发送天线，后M行对应TRP2的发送天线，B1、B2、B3、B4的维度均是M*N。
一种CRAN架构示例，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，该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。
(4)天线端口：可简称端口。可以理解为被接收设备所识别的发射天线，或者在空间上可以区分的发射天线。针对每个虚拟天线可以预配置一个天线端口，每个虚拟天线可以为多个物理天线的加权组合，每个天线端口可以与一个参考信号对应，因此，每个天线端口可以称为一个参考信号的端口，例如，CSI-RS端口、探测参考信号(sounding reference signal，SRS)端口等。
示例性的，在新无线(new radio，NR)系统中，CSI-RS端口可以和基站的发送天线相对应，可以是一对一的，也可以是多对一的。不同CSI-RS端口占用正交资源，正交方式可以为时分、频分或者码分。DMRS端口和数据传输流一一对应相对应，每个DMRS端口是相应传输流的解调参考信号。

例如，预编码矩阵可以通过对信道矩阵或信道矩阵的协方差矩阵进行奇异值分解(singular value decomposition，SVD)的方式获得，或者，也可以通过对信道矩阵的协方差矩阵进行特征值分解(eigenvalue decopomsition，EVD)的方式获得。应理解，上文中列举的预编码矩阵的确定方式仅为示例，不应对本申请构成任何限定。预编码矩阵的确定方式可以参考现有技术，为了简洁，这里不再一一列举。

(8)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。

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，以配置信息的收发过程为例，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终端设备1-终端设备6，此时，基站和终端设备1-终端设备6组成一个通信系统，在该通信系统中，终端设备1-终端设备6可以发送上行数据给网络设备，网络设备需要接收终端设备1-终端设备6发送的上行数据。同时，网络设备可以向终端设备1-终端设备6发送配置信息。
此外，在图1中，终端设备4-终端设备6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终端设备，其中，终端设备5作为网络设备，即配置信息发送实体；终端设备4和终端设备6作为终端设备，即配置信息接收实体。例如车联网系统中，终端设备5分别向终端设备4和终端设备6发送配置信息，并且接收终端设备4和终端设备6发送的上行数据；相应的，终端设备4和终端设备6接收终端设备5发送的配置信息，并向终端设备5发送上行数据。
请参阅图2，为本申请中通信系统的另一个示意图。如图2所示，以网络设备包括TRP1、TRP2，终端设备包括UE1～UE5为例进行说明，其中，TRP1、TRP2和UE1～UE5可以组成一个通信系统组成一个通信系统。在该通信系统中，UE1～UE5可以发送上行数据，UE1～UE5发送的上行数据可由其中一个TRP接收(如图2中UE1和UE2所发送的上行数据由TRP1所接收，如图2中UE5所发送的上行数据由TRP2所接收)，也可以由两个TRP联合接收(如图2中UE3所发送的上行数据由TRP1和TRP2所接收，如图2中UE4所发送的上行数据由TRP1和TRP2所接收)。此外，网络设备(如图2中TRP1、TRP2)可以发送下行信息给终端设备(如图2中的UE1～UE5)。
可选地，本申请中，对于图2所示示例中，连接至TRP1而未连接至TRP2的UE(如图2中UE1、UE2)所处的通信场景，以及连接至TRP2而未连接至TRP1的UE(如图2中UE5)所处的通信场景，可以称为单站通信场景。
可选地，本申请中，对于图2所示示例中，连接至TRP1且连接至TRP2的UE(如图2中UE3、UE4)所处的通信场景可以称为多站通信场景，或称为多传输接收点(Multi-TRP)协作传输场景。
进一步可选地，以图2中的UE3的通信过程为例，UE3与多个TRP(即TRP1和TRP2)之间可以存在多种通信方式。在一种通信方式中，TRP1和TRP2分别与该UE3传输独立的数据流，即UE3所接收的某一数据流来自TRP1或TRP2，该通信方式也可以称为非相干联合传输(NCJT)；在另一种通信方式中，TRP1和TRP2联合传输该UE3的数据流，即UE3所接收的某一数据流来自TRP1和TRP2，该通信方式也可以称为相干联合传输(CJT)。
在通信系统中，例如前述图1或图2所示通信系统，网络设备可以通过终端设备发送的信道状态信息(channel state information，CSI)确定下行信道质量信息，CSI包括信道质量指示(channel quality indicator，CQI)和预编码矩阵指示(precoding matrix indicator，PMI)等。以CQI为例，网络设备还可以根据CQI进一步确定码率、调制与编码策略(modulation and coding scheme，MCS)或频谱效率等。
目前，在接收信道状态信息参考信号(channel state information reference signal，CSI-RS)之后，终端设备在进行下行信道的CQI测量过程中，该终端设备需要明确在该下行信道传输的数据流与网络设备的CSI-RS端口之间的映射关系。以单站通信场景为例，终端设备接收来自某一个网络设备的CSI-RS之后，可以基于下行信道传输的数据流与该网络设备的CSI-RS端口之间的映射关系执行CQI测量，得到CQI并上报至网络设备。
可选地，终端设备在接收CSI-RS之后，终端设备可以基于该CSI-RS和该映射关系得到中间量，再进一步基于该中间量确定需要上报的CQI。其中，该中间量可以包括信干扰噪声比(signal to interference noise ratio，SINR)、信泄露噪声比(signal to leakage plus noise ratio，SLNR)、信噪比(signal to noise ratio，SNR)或者其他的参数，此处不做限定。
示例性的，此处以该中间量为SINR为例进行说明。SINR的取值与CQI的取值之间的关联关系可以由下述方法确定：在特定条件下，每次取定一个CQI值，并在对应的调制方式和码率下调整SINR值使得误块率(block error rate，BLER)为10％，此时该SINR值即与取定的CQI值对应。由于下行数据传输功率和CSI-RS的功率间往往存在一定的偏差，因此需要综合考虑终端设备接收到的已知参考信号的强度、功率控制偏差(power control offset，记为Pc ratio)以及接收到的干扰信号强度和噪声信号强度进行SINR测算，满足：
其中，PPDSCH表示PDSCH数据传输功率，PCSI-RS表示CSI-RS参考信号功率，Pinterference和Pnoise分别表示终端设备测得的干扰信号功率和噪声信号功率。PC表示下行PDSCH数据传输功率与CSI-RS参考信号功率之间的偏差，通常在每个NZP(Non-Zero Power)CSI-RS资源中均配置一个Pc ratio用于CQI的测量。
示例性的，此处以终端设备和网络设备处于NR系统为例。在NR中，终端设备会根据 SINR与CQI的预设关系，根据CQI量化表格确定CQI取值。下面将基于表1至表3的实现方式，对CQI量化表格进行示例性描述。
表1
表2

表3
需要说明的是，下文的阐述假设了PDSCH传输流对应同一个CQI，也就是CQI测量和反馈时要综合考虑多个PDSCH传输流。本申请也不排除PDSCH传输流对应多个CQI的情况，此时，对应同一个CQI反馈的PDSCH传输流用于确定该CQI取值。
此外，在NR系统中，终端设备需要信道测量资源(channel measurement resource，CMR)，干扰测量资源(interference measurement resource，IMR)，以及CSI参考资源(CSI reference resource)确定RI、PMI、CQI等。其中，CMR通常为非零功率CSI-RS，IMR可 以为非零功率CSI-RS或者零功率CSI-RS，同时终端设备需要假设一个CSI参考资源用于计算RI、PMI、CQI。具体的，CSI参考资源包括：PDSCH占用的时频资源，PDSCH传输机制，或者说CMR对应的CSI-RS端口到PDSCH传输流之间的映射关系。
示例性的，进行CQI测算时，终端设备假设(assume)在PDSCH端口[1000,…,1000+ν-1]上传输的v层PDSCH信号可以映射到CSI-RS端口[3000,…,3000+P-1]上进行等效传输，即上述映射关系满足：
其中，W(i)表示预编码矩阵，并且，映射到[3000,…,3000+P-1]端口上传输的PDSCH信号的每个资源单元上的能量(energy per resource element，EPRE)与CSI-RS的EPRE的比值等于功率控制偏差(power control offset，记为Pc ratio)。
此外，在不同的网络设备分别与该终端设备传输独立的数据流的场景下(例如该场景可以包括NCJT的通信场景)，终端设备所接收的某个数据流仅来自于某一个网络设备，使得终端设备接收来自不同的网络设备的CSI-RS之后，该终端设备可以沿用上述单站通信场景中的映射关系执行CQI测量。例如，在NCJT场景下，不同的数据流可以被映射到大尺度参数不同的两个TRP的天线端口上，并同时传输给同一个指定终端设备来有效提升数据传输速率和可靠性。
由于上述针对单站通信场景所定义的Pc ratio和CQI的测量方法(包括前述式(1)和式(2)的计算过程)并不直接适用于NCJT场景，而需要对上述Pc ratio的概念和CQI的测量方法进行改进，下面将进一步描述。
以该不同的网络设备包括网络设备1和网络设备2为例，终端设备需要基于与网络设备1之间的下行信道传输的数据流与该网络设备1的CSI-RS端口之间的映射关系，并基于与网络设备2之间的下行信道传输的数据流与该网络设备2的CSI-RS端口之间的映射关系上报CQI。在进行CQI测算时，终端设备假设在PDSCH端口[1000,…,1000+ν1-1]上传输的v1层PDSCH信号可以映射到由CRI指示的第一组CSI-RS端口[3000,…,3000+P-1]上进行等效传输；在PDSCH端口[1000,…,1000+ν1+ν2-1]上传输的v2层PDSCH信号可以映射到由CRI指示的第二组CSI-RS端口[3000,…,3000+P-1]上进行等效传输。在这种情况下，该映射关系满足：
其中,j＝1,2，表示对应上报的第j个PMI的预编码矩阵，并且，映射到第j(j＝1,2)组CSI-RS资源的P个天线端口上传输的层的PDSCH信号功率与CSI-RS参考信号功率的比值等于在相应的CSI-RS资源中配置的Pc ratio。
进一步地，在不同的网络设备与终端设备之间传输的数据流不再是独立的场景下(例如，该场景可以包括CJT的通信场景)，在CJT场景下，每个数据层会通过加权向量映射到 参与协作的多个TRP上。如果各个TRP的信道大尺度参数相同，而且使用了相同的频率源，那么相干传输等效于将多个子阵拼接成更高维度的虚拟阵列，从而能够获得更高的赋形/预编码/复用增益。与此同时，由于相同的数据流通过加权向量映射到参与协作的多个TRP上并同时传输给同一个指定终端设备，因此终端设备需要综合处理来自多个不同TRP的参考信号功率以及功率控制偏差进行SINR的测算并最终确定进行上报的CQI值。而上述单站通信场景以及NCJT场景下的计算过程(包括前述式(1)，式(2)和式(3)的计算过程)中，由于每个数据流本质上仍由单个TRP传输，因此，上述CQI的测量方法并不适用于CJT场景。
综上所述，由于终端设备所接收的某个数据流有可能来自不同的网络设备的通信场景中，在终端设备沿用上述单站通信场景执行CQI测量的情况下，容易造成CQI测量不准，导致网络设备基于CQI所获得的下行信道质量的准确度降低，进而影响通信效率。
为了解决上述问题，本申请提供了一种通信方法及通信装置，下面将结合附图进行介绍。
请参阅图3，为本申请提供的通信方法的一个示意图。
需要说明的是，图3中以终端设备和网络设备作为该交互示意的执行主体为例来示意该方法，但本申请并不限制该交互示意的执行主体。例如，图3中的终端设备也可以是支持该终端设备实现该方法的芯片、芯片系统、或处理器，还可以是能实现全部或部分终端设备功能的逻辑模块或软件。图3中的网络设备也可以是支持该网络设备实现该方法的芯片、芯片系统、或处理器，还可以是能实现全部或部分网络设备功能的逻辑模块或软件。
图3示意的方法包括步骤S301、S302、S303和S304。下面将分别介绍各个步骤。
S301.网络设备发送第一配置信息。
本实施例中，网络设备在步骤S301中发送第一配置信息，相应的，终端设备在步骤S301中接收第一配置信息。其中，该第一配置信息包括n个CSI-RS的配置信息，n为大于1的整数。
在一种可能的实现方式中，该n个CSI-RS的配置信息中的每个配置信息用于指示一个CSI-RS端口集合；该一个CSI-RS端口集合包括一个CSI-RS资源，n个该CSI-RS资源属于同一CSI-RS资源集；或，该一个CSI-RS端口集合包括至少一个端口，n个CSI-RS端口集合所包含的该端口属于同一CSI-RS资源。
具体地，该n个CSI-RS的配置信息中的每个配置信息用于指示一个CSI-RS端口集合，即n个CSI-RS分别来自于n个不同的CSI-RS端口集合。并且，n个不同的CSI-RS端口集合属于同一CSI-RS资源集或n个不同的CSI-RS端口集合属于同一CSI-RS资源。使得参与协作的n个网络设备基于同一CSI-RS资源集或同一CSI-RS资源发送n个CSI-RS，易于实现n个CSI-RS的信号收发的同时，也节省n个CSI-RS的配置信息的开销。
应理解，上述实现方式也可以表述为：将一个CSI-RS资源集分成n组，且n组中的每组中的CSI-RS资源用于承载某一网络设备向该终端设备发送的CSI-RS，或，将一个CSI-RS资源所包含的多个CSI-RS端口分称n组，且n组中的每组中的CSI-RS端口用于承载某一网络设备向该终端设备发送的CSI-RS。
在一种可能的实现方式中，n个CSI-RS的配置信息为n个CSI-RS资源配置，每个CSI-RS资源配置中包括CSI-RS资源对应的端口数，时频资源位置，周期类型，QCL假设等信息。
在另一种可能的实现方式中，n个CSI-RS的配置信息为一个CSI-RS资源配置，该CSI-RS资源中的端口被分为n组端口集合，n组端口集合与n个CSI-RS一一对应，每组端口集合对应特定的QCL假设配置。
可选地，当n个CSI-RS配置信息为一个CSI-RS资源配置时，不同组的CSI-RS端口不能属于同一个码分复用(code-division multiplexing，CDM)组。
S302.网络设备发送CSI-RS。
本实施例中，第一配置信息中的n个CSI-RS的配置信息分别对应于n个不同的网络设备，对于n个不同的网络设备中的一个网络设备而言，该一个网络设备在步骤S302中发送n个CSI-RS中的一个CSI-RS，即n个不同的网络设备在步骤S302中发送n个CSI-RS；相应的，终端设备在步骤S302中接收n个CSI-RS。
应理解，终端设备所接收的n个CSI-RS分别来自n个不同的网络设备，本申请对于该n个不同的网络设备之间的协作关系以及在步骤S301中发送第一配置信息的网络设备不做限定。例如，该n个不同的网络设备可以包括一个主网络设备(或称服务传输接收点(transmission reception point,TRP))以及n-1个辅网络设备(或称协作TRP)，在这种情况下，在步骤S301中发送第一配置信息的网络设备可以为该主网络设备或任一辅网络设备；又如，该n个不同的网络设备可以包括不区分主网络设备和辅网络设备，在这种情况下，在步骤S301中发送第一配置信息的网络设备可以为该n个网络设备中的任意一个网络设备。
S303.终端设备确定CQI。
本实施例中，终端设备基于步骤S302所接收的n个CSI-RS中的m个CSI-RS和映射关系确定CQI,该CQI用于指示PDSCH的信道质量；其中，该映射关系为该PDSCH的数据流与该m个CSI-RS对应的CSI-RS端口之间的映射关系，m为大于1的整数，且m小于或等于n。
可选的，该CQI上报对应了一个CSI上报配置信息，CSI上报配置信息中配置了当前上报的信息包括CQI，且该CSI上报配置信息与n个CSI-RS的配置信息相关联，n个CSI-RS的配置信息对应该CSI上报配置信息的CMR。
一种方式，m等于n，此时CQI上报的CMR为n个CSI-RS。
另一种方式，m小于n，此时CQI上报的CMR为从n个CSI-RS中选择的部分CSI-RS。
可选的，网络设备配置终端设备从n个CSI-RS中选择部分CSI-RS作为CMR。具体的，网络设备会预先配置多个测量假设，每个测量假设中的CMR包括n个CSI-RS中的部分/全部CSI-RS。终端设备根据多个测量假设确定上报其中的一个测量假设，CQI根据该测量假设确定。
可选的，终端设备随该CQI上报测量假设；或者，终端设备随该CQI上报该CQI对应的m个CSI-RS的索引。
在一种可能的实现方式中，终端设备在步骤S303中根据m个CSI-RS和映射关系确定CQI之前，该方法还包括：从该n个CSI-RS中确定该m个CSI-RS。
具体地，终端设备在步骤S302中接收n个CSI-RS之后，该终端设备基于n个CSI-RS中的部分或全部CSI-RS(即m个CSI-RS)确定该CQI。换言之，终端设备可以基于预配置的选择机制在n个CSI-RS选择部分或全部CSI-RS(即m个CSI-RS)之后，该终端设备再进一步基于所选择的m个CSI-RS确定CQI。从而，终端设备能够在n个CSI-RS中灵活地选择满足该预配置的选择机制的m个CSI-RS，以提升方案实现的灵活性。
进一步地，终端设备从该n个CSI-RS中确定该m个CSI-RS的过程包括：基于第一参数和该n个CSI-RS确定该m个CSI-RS，该第一参数包括该m的取值或第一阈值。
可选地，该第一参数预配置于该终端设备。
可选地，该第一参数为网络设备向该终端设备发送的，该第一参数可以包含于第一配置信息或者其它信息中。
应理解，该第一阈值可以指示传输性能阈值，例如RSRP阈值，RSRQ阈值，SINR阈值，SNR阈值或者其他的性能参数阈值，此处不做限定。
在一种实现方式中，第一阈值用于定义m个CSI-RS或者测量假设的选取准则。具体的，考虑两种测量假设中的第一测量假设对应k1个CSI-RS，第二测量假设对应k2个CSI-RS，k1<k2，只有当基于第二测量假设确定的传输性能(例如SINR)，与基于第一测量假设确定的传输性能之间的差值大于第一阈值时，才上报第二测量假设，否则，上报第一测量假设。通过这种方式，可以合理控制协作网络设备(例如TRP)的数量从而降低网络侧复杂度。
在一种可能的实现方式中，该n个CSI-RS对应多种测量假设，该测量假设用于确定该CQI对应的该m个CSI-RS。具体地，该n个CSI-RS分别对应于n个不同的网络设备，而n个不同的网络设备中任意两个或两个以上的网络设备可以组成提供通信服务的协作集。其中，每一种协作集可以称为一种测量假设，即n个CSI-RS对应多种测量假设，且多种测量假设中的某一种测量假设对应该m个CSI-RS，使得该测量假设能够确定CQI对应的m个CSI-RS。
在一种可能的实现方式中，在步骤S303之前，该方法还包括：终端设备接收第一指示信息，该第一指示信息指示该多种测量假设中的至少一种测量假设；该终端设备从该至少一种测量假设中确定一种测量假设，该一种测量假设对应该m个CSI-RS。
可选地，第一指示信息包含于第一配置信息，或者，第一指示信息包含于其它信息，此处不做限定。
具体地，该终端设备还可以基于第一指示信息所指示的至少一种测量假设在n个CSI-RS所对应的多种测量假设确定其中一种测量假设，并基于该一种测量假设所对应的网络设备确定CQI对应的m个CSI-RS。从而，在确定m个CSI-RS之后，该终端设备执行步骤S303中基于该m个CSI-RS确定CQI的过程。
应理解，第一指示信息可以用于包括该至少一种测量假设所对应的网络设备的索引，第一指示信息也可以包括该至少一种测量假设所对应的CSI-RS的索引，第一指示信息还可以包括该至少一种测量假设所对应的网络设备的CSI-RS端口集合的索引，第一指示信息还可以通过其它方式指示该多种测量假设中的至少一种测量假设，此处不做限定。
在一种可能的实现方式中，由于在计算CQI时所假设的PDSCH的数据流映射在每个 CSI-RS对应的CSI-RS端口上的EPRE与CSI-RS的EPRE之间往往存在一定的偏差，为此，终端设备在步骤S303之前还可以接收来自网络设备的第二指示信息，用以指示功率偏置量，且该功率偏置量用于指示该偏差，使得终端设备在确定CQI的过程中可以基于该功率偏置量减小或消除该偏差的影响，以进一步提升该终端设备所确定的CQI的准确度。下面将对第二指示信息的实现方式进行说明。
实现方式一，n个CSI-RS中的每个CSI-RS在不同的测量假设下分别对应一个功率偏置量。
在步骤S303之前，该方法还包括：终端设备接收第二指示信息，该第二指示信息用于指示该多种测量假设中的至少一种测量假设中每个CSI-RS对应的功率偏置量，也就是说，每个CSI-RS分别对应一个或多个独立配置的功率偏置量，同一个CSI-RS在不同的测量假设下分别对应一个独立配置的功率偏置量；其中，对于一个特定测量假设下的一个特定的CSI-RS，该CSI-RS对应的功率偏置量用于指示第一信号能量和第二信号能量之间的比值，该第一信号能量为映射在每个CSI-RS对应的CSI-RS端口的PDSCH的数据流的EPRE，该第二信号能量为该CSI-RS的EPRE；终端设备在步骤S303中根据m个CSI-RS和映射关系确定CQI的过程包括：该终端设备根据该第二指示信息，该m个CSI-RS和该映射关系确定该CQI。
示例性的，假设n个CSI-RS中的某一个CSI-RS(记为CSI-RS1)对应测量假设1和测量假设2，则在实现方式一中，第二指示信息用于指示该CSI-RS1在测量假设1中对应功率偏置量(记为功率偏置量1)和该CSI-RS1在测量假设2中功率偏置量(记为功率偏置量2).其中，功率偏置量1与测量假设1相对应，即终端设备若在步骤S303中选择测量假设1，则该终端设备确定功率偏置量1为该CSI-RS1的功率偏置量；功率偏置量2与测量假设2相对应，即终端设备若在步骤S303中选择测量假设2，则该终端设备确定功率偏置量2为该CSI-RS1的功率偏置量。
示例性的，PDSCH传输对应的所有数据流对应一个CQI上报，则第一信号能量为PDSCH传输对应的所有数据流映射在CSI-RS对应的CSI-RS端口的EPRE。
通过实现方式一，可以每个测量假设独立采用功率偏置量配置策略，从而支持灵活的功率分配，并且，可以保证对于不同测量假设采用相对公平的功率分配策略，即保证PDSCH传输的EPRE在不同测量假设下相同。
实现方式二，对于n个CSI-RS中的任一CSI-RS而言，该CSI-RS在不同的测量假设下对应于同一个功率偏置量。
在步骤S303之前，该方法还包括：终端设备接收第二指示信息，该第二指示信息用于指示该n个CSI-RS中每个CSI-RS对应的功率偏置量，也就是说，每个CSI-RS分别对应一个独立配置的功率偏置量，同一个CSI-RS在不同的测量假设下均对应于该独立配置的功率偏置量。其中，对于n个CSI-RS中的任意一个CSI-RS，该CSI-RS在不同的测量假设下对应的功率偏置量相同。在实现方式二中，终端设备可以基于该第二指示信息明确，该CSI-RS对应的功率偏置量用于指示第一信号能量和第二信号能量之间的比值，该第一信号能量为映射在每个CSI-RS对应的CSI-RS端口的PDSCH的数据流的EPRE，该第二信号能量为该 CSI-RS的EPRE；终端设备在步骤S303中根据m个CSI-RS和映射关系确定CQI包括：该终端设备根据该第二指示信息，该m个CSI-RS和该映射关系确定该CQI。
示例性的，假设n个CSI-RS中的某一个CSI-RS(记为CSI-RS1)对应测量假设1和测量假设2，则在实现方式二中，第二指示信息用于指示该CSI-RS1对应的功率偏置量(记为功率偏置量1)，其中，测量假设1和测量假设2均对应于功率偏置量1，即终端设备在步骤S303中，无论是选择测量假设1所对应的CSI-RS为m个CSI-RS，还是选择测量假设2所对应的CSI-RS为m个CSI-RS，该终端设备都会将功率偏置量1确定为该CSI-RS1的功率偏置量。
通过实现方式二，对于n个CSI-RS中的任一CSI-RS，可以在不同测量假设中对该CSI-RS采用相同的功率偏置量的配置策略，从而实现对n个CSI-RS中不同CSI-RS的功率偏置量的配置方式的简化。
实现方式三，n个CSI-RS中的不同CSI-RS而言，不同的CSI-RS在不同的测量假设下均对应于同一功率偏置量。
在步骤S303之前，该方法还包括：终端设备接收第二指示信息，该第二指示信息用于指示该n个CSI-RS中每个CSI-RS对应的同一个功率偏置量，也就是说，n个CSI-RS仅配置一个功率偏置量，即n个CSI-RS中的不同CSI-RS在不同的测量假设下均对应于该功率偏置量。其中，对于n个CSI-RS中的不同CSI-RS在不同的测量假设下对应的功率偏置量均是相同的。在实现方式二中，终端设备可以基于该第二指示信息明确，该CSI-RS对应的功率偏置量用于指示第一信号能量和第二信号能量之间的比值，该第一信号能量为映射在每个CSI-RS对应的CSI-RS端口的PDSCH的数据流的EPRE，该第二信号能量为该CSI-RS的EPRE；终端设备在步骤S303中根据m个CSI-RS和映射关系确定CQI包括：该终端设备根据该第二指示信息，该m个CSI-RS和该映射关系确定该CQI。
示例性的，假设n个CSI-RS中的某一个CSI-RS(记为CSI-RS1)对应测量假设1，n个CSI-RS中的另一个CSI-RS(记为CSI-RS2)对应测量假设2，则在实现方式三中，第二指示信息用于指示该n个CSI-RS均对应同一个功率偏置量(记为功率偏置量1)。其中，测量假设1和测量假设2均对应于功率偏置量1，即终端设备在步骤S303中，无论是选择测量假设1所对应的CSI-RS为m个CSI-RS，还是选择测量假设2所对应的CSI-RS为m个CSI-RS，该终端设备都会将功率偏置量1确定为该CSI-RS1的功率偏置量。
通过实现方式三，对于n个CSI-RS中的不同CSI-RS，可以在不同测量假设中对该不同CSI-RS采用相同的功率偏置量的配置策略，从而实现对n个CSI-RS中不同CSI-RS的功率偏置量的配置方式的简化。
可选地，在上述实现方式一和实现方式二中，第二指示信息包含于第一配置信息，或者，第二指示信息包含于其它信息，此处不做限定。
可选地，在上述实现方式一和实现方式二中，第二指示信息所指示的功率偏置量对应于第一指示信息所指示的至少一种测量假设中每个CSI-RS对应的功率偏置量，或，第二指示信息所指示的功率偏置量可以对应于n个CSI-RS所对应的多种测量假设中每个CSI-RS 对应的功率偏置量。
具体地，在CQI所指示的PDSCH中，由于在计算CQI时所假设的PDSCH的数据流映射在每个CSI-RS对应的CSI-RS端口上的EPRE与CSI-RS的EPRE之间往往存在一定的偏差，终端设备所接收的第二指示信息所指示的功率偏置量用于指示该偏差，使得终端设备在确定CQI的过程中可以基于该功率偏置量减小或消除该偏差的影响，以进一步提升该终端设备所确定的CQI的准确度。
在上述实现方式一中，该第二指示信息用于指示该多种测量假设中的至少一种测量假设中每个CSI-RS对应的功率偏置量，换言之，终端设备所接收的功率偏置量可以是基于测量假设为配置粒度所配置的。其中，不同的测量假设对应参与协作的网络设备是不同的，使得同一个CSI-RS在不同的测量假设下所对应的功率偏置量有可能是不同的，通过基于测量假设为配置粒度的配置方式，可以进一步提升基于该功率偏置量所获得的CQI的准确度。
在上述实现方式二中，该第二指示信息用于指示该n个CSI-RS中每个CSI-RS对应的功率偏置量，换言之，终端设备所接收的功率偏置量可以是以CSI-RS为配置粒度所配置的，即第二指示信息用于指示n个CSI-RS分别对应的功率偏置量。使得终端设备在确定CQI对应的m个CSI-RS之后，即可在该n个CSI-RS分别对应的功率偏置量中确定m个CSI-RS分别对应的功率偏置量，易于实现。
可选地，该第二指示信息所指示的该每个CSI-RS对应的功率偏置量相同，可以简化该第二指示信息的配置，节省开销且易于实现。

可选地，在W0(i)...Wn-1(i)中，非零矩阵的个数为m。具体地，在上述用于确定CQI的映射关系的实现方式中，由于CQI为基于n个CSI-RS中的m个CSI-RS所确定的，使得该实现方式中的n个预编码矩阵中的m个预编码矩阵为非零矩阵。
可选的，对于n个CSI-RS中的第j个CSI-RS，j＝0...j＝n-1，其映射关系满足：

进一步可选地，在上述实现方式中，除了m个CSI-RS所对应的m个预编码矩阵为非零矩阵之外，其它n-m个矩阵可以为零矩阵，以简化计算复杂度的同时可以更为准确地体现该映射关系。
在另一种可能的实现方式中，该映射关系满足：
其中，x(k)(i),k＝0,1,…,v-1，表示第i个正交频分复用OFDM符号上的PDSCH的第k个数据流；j＝0,1,…,m-1,p＝3000,…,3000+Pm-1，表示第j个CSI-RS的第q个CSI-RS端口上传输的该PDSCH的数据流,q＝0,…Pj-1；Wj(i)表示该PDSCH的数据流映射在第j个CSI-RS对应的预编码矩阵。
可选的，对于m个CSI-RS中的第j个CSI-RS，j＝0...j＝n-1，其映射关系满足：

具体地，上述实现方式，提供了用于确定PDSCH的数据流与该m个CSI-RS对应的CSI-RS端口之间的映射关系的一种具体的实现方式，在该实现方式中，包括用于确定CQI的m个CSI-RS对应的m个端口集合以及m个预编码矩阵，以简化计算复杂度的同时可以更为准确地体现该映射关系。
可选的，每个测量假设独立对应一个映射关系。
可选地，由前述实现方式一和实现方式二可知，功率偏置量用于指示第一信号能量和第二信号能量之间的比值。其中，第一信号能量和第二信号能量除了上述“第一信号能量为映射在每个CSI-RS对应的CSI-RS端口的PDSCH的数据流的EPRE，该第二信号能量为每个 CSI-RS的EPRE”的定义之外，对于m个(或n个)CSI-RS中的每个CSI-RS对应的功率偏置量，还可以存在其它的定义，示例如下(在下述示例中，将功率偏置量记为Pc ratio)：
示例一：第一信号能量为映射在该CSI-RS的PDSCH的每个数据流的能量，该第二信号能量为该CSI-RS中一个CSI-RS端口的能量。
在该示例一中，在第j组CSI-RS资源中配置的Pc ratio可以表示为：
其中，表示第j组CSI-RS资源的单端口功率，|xp(i)|2表示PDSCH单端口功率。
在m个CSI-RS对应的测量假设下，一个子载波上的总的PDSCH传输功率即可表示为：
其中，2≤m≤4表示测量假设m下参与相干联合传输的TRP数目，也即CSI-RS资源分组数。
示例二：第一信号能量为映射在该CSI-RS的PDSCH的所有数据流在一个RE上的能量的总和，该第二信号能量为该CSI-RS的每个CSI-RS端口的能量的总和。
在该示例二中，在第j组CSI-RS资源中配置的Pc ratio可以表示为：

其中，2≤m≤4表示测量假设m下参与相干联合传输的TRP数目，也即CSI-RS资源分组数。
S304.终端设备发送CQI。
本实施例中，终端设备在步骤S304中发送CQI，相应的，网络设备在步骤S304中接收CQI。
在一种可能的实现方式中，终端设备在步骤S304中发送的CQI包含于CSI，该CSI还包括以下至少一项：
该m个CSI-RS对应的CSI-RS端口集合的索引；或，
该m个CSI-RS的索引；或，
PMI，该PMI用于指示该m个CSI-RS对应的CSI-RS端口集合对应的预编码矩阵。
具体地，终端设备在接收n个CSI-RS之后，该终端设备所发送的CQI为基于n个CSI-RS中的部分或全部CSI-RS(即m个CSI-RS)所确定的，为此，该终端设备可以在CSI中携带上述信息中的至少一项，以便于该CSI的接收方明确CQI所对应的m个CSI-RS。
基于图3所示技术方案，终端设备在步骤S302中基于第一配置信息接收n个CSI-RS之后，该终端设备在步骤S303中基于n个CSI-RS中的m个CSI-RS和映射关系确定CQI。其中，该CQI用于指示PDSCH的信道质量，且用于确定CQI的映射关系为该PDSCH的数据流与该m个CSI-RS对应的CSI-RS端口之间的映射关系，且m为大于1的整数，即m个CSI-RS来自于不同的网络设备。换言之，在PDSCH的数据流来自于不同的网络设备的场景下，终端设备确定CQI的过程中，终端设备认为/假设(assume)PDSCH的数据流与不同的网络设备对应的CSI-RS端口之间存在该映射关系，使得终端设备基于该映射关系明确PDSCH的数据流与不同网络设备之间的对应关系，并确定和发送CQI。从而，在终端设备所接收的数据流来自不同的网络设备的应用场景中，提升终端设备所确定的CQI的准确度，使得网络设备后续基于该CQI所获得的下行信道质量的准确度得以提升，进而提升通信效率。
在前述图3所示方案之前所介绍的NCJT场景中，还可以通过在码本配置(CodebookConfig)中为每个TRP配置一个码本子集限制(CBSR)，能有效控制波束方向避免对邻区造成强干扰，并保证了每个TRP波束选择的灵活性。
示例性的，如图4所示，以TRP1和TRP2组成协作集，并应用NCJT传输方式为例。在图4中，以TRP1和TRP2这一协作集的协作范围包括两个椭圆形的覆盖区域作为示例，TRP1的波束b1和b2以及TRP2的波束b0会对协作集外的相邻小区(图中未画出)造成强干扰，而TRP1的波束b0以及TRP2的波束b1则不会对协作集外的相邻小区造成强干扰。由于TRP1和TRP2之间的协作方式为NCJT，即TRP1和TRP2为同一个终端设备所发送的数据流为独立发送的，这就使得TRP1和TRP2可以分别确定各自的CBSR配置，即CBSR1＝{b0}，CBSR2＝{b1}。并且，TRP1将所确定的CBSR配置下发给连接至TRP1的终端设备(例如UE0)，TRP2将所确定的CBSR配置下发给连接至TRP2的终端设备(例如UE0)，使得UE0基于TRP1下发的CBSR配置和TRP2下发 的CBSR配置明确在该协作集内所允许使用的码本子集，能够在避免对邻区造成强干扰的同时，满足协作集内的TRP进行非相干联合传输的需求。
区别于NCJT场景，在相干联合传输(CJT)场景下，不同的TRP为同一个终端设备所发送的数据流并非独立发送的。以图5为例，当TRP1和TRP2被选择进行相干联合传输时，波束b0和b1需要被约束来避免对邻区造成强干扰；而当TRP1、TRP2和TRP3同时被选择进行相干联合传输时，只有波束b0需要被约束来避免对邻区造成强干扰。这就使得上述NCJT场景中，不同的TRP分别独立确定并下发CBSR配置的方式不再适用。
为此，在终端设备所接收的数据流来自不同的网络设备的应用场景(例如CJT场景)中，对于终端设备而言，如何实现CBSR配置信息的确定，是一个亟待解决的技术问题。
请参阅图6，为本申请提供的通信方法的一个示意图。
需要说明的是，图6中以终端设备和网络设备作为该交互示意的执行主体为例来示意该方法，但本申请并不限制该交互示意的执行主体。例如，图6中的终端设备也可以是支持该终端设备实现该方法的芯片、芯片系统、或处理器，还可以是能实现全部或部分终端设备功能的逻辑模块或软件。图6中的网络设备也可以是支持该网络设备实现该方法的芯片、芯片系统、或处理器，还可以是能实现全部或部分网络设备功能的逻辑模块或软件。
图3示意的方法包括步骤S601、S602、S603和S604。下面将分别介绍各个步骤。
S601.网络设备发送第一配置信息。
本实施例中，网络设备在步骤S601中发送第一配置信息，相应的，终端设备在步骤S601中接收第一配置信息。其中，该第一配置信息包括n个CSI-RS的配置信息，以及与该n个CSI-RS对应的CBSR配置信息，该CBSR配置信息用于配置多个CBSR，n为大于1的整数。
在一种可能的实现方式中，该n个CSI-RS的配置信息中的一个配置信息用于指示一个CSI-RS端口集合；该一个CSI-RS端口集合包括一个CSI-RS资源，n个该CSI-RS资源属于同一CSI-RS资源集；或，该一个CSI-RS端口集合包括至少一个端口，n个CSI-RS端口集合所包含的该端口属于同一CSI-RS资源。具体地，该n个CSI-RS的配置信息中的每个配置信息用于指示一个CSI-RS端口集合，即n个CSI-RS分别来自于n个不同的CSI-RS端口集合。并且，n个不同的CSI-RS端口集合属于同一CSI-RS资源集或n个不同的CSI-RS端口集合属于同一CSI-RS资源。使得参与协作的n个网络设备基于同一CSI-RS资源集或同一CSI-RS资源发送n个CSI-RS，易于实现n个CSI-RS的信号收发的同时，也节省n个CSI-RS的配置信息的开销。
需要说明的是，CBSR配置信息所配置多个CBSR信息中，每一个CBSR信息的矩阵维度是基于CSI-RS对应的CSI-RS端口数确定的。
S602.网络设备发送CSI-RS。
本实施例中，第一配置信息中的n个CSI-RS的配置信息分别对应于n个不同的网络设备，对于n个不同的网络设备中的一个网络设备而言，该一个网络设备在步骤S602中发送n个CSI-RS中的一个CSI-RS，即n个不同的网络设备在步骤S602中发送n个CSI-RS；相应的，终端设备在步骤S602中接收n个CSI-RS。
应理解，终端设备在步骤S602中接收的n个CSI-RS分别来自n个不同的网络设备，本申请对于该n个不同的网络设备之间的协作关系以及在步骤S601中发送第一配置信息的网络 设备不做限定。例如，该n个不同的网络设备可以包括一个主网络设备(或称服务传输接收点(transmission reception point,TRP))以及n-1个辅网络设备(或称协作TRP)，在这种情况下，在步骤S601中发送第一配置信息的网络设备可以为该主网络设备或任一辅网络设备；又如，该n个不同的网络设备可以包括不区分主网络设备和辅网络设备，在这种情况下，在步骤S601中发送第一配置信息的网络设备可以为该n个网络设备中的任意一个网络设备。
S603.终端设备确定PMI。
本实施例中，终端设备基于步骤S602所接收的n个CSI-RS中的m个CSI-RS和该多个CBSR中的m个CBSR确定PMI。其中，m为大于1的整数，且m小于或等于n，该m个CSI-RS与该m个CBSR信息一一对应。
在一种可能的实现方式中，该CBSR配置信息用于配置多个CBSR包括：CBSR配置信息用于配置至少一组CBSR，每组该CBSR包括至少两个该CBSR；该终端设备在步骤S603中基于m个CSI-RS和该多个CBSR中的m个CBSR确定PMI之前，该方法还包括：该终端设备从该至少一组CBSR中确定一组CBSR，该一组CBSR包括该m个CBSR。
具体地，第一配置信息中的CBSR配置信息用于配置至少一组CBSR，使得终端设备在确定PMI之前，该终端设备在该至少一组CBSR中确定的一组CBSR所包含的m个CBSR作为确定PMI的依据之一。换言之，第一配置信息中的CBSR配置信息以“组”为粒度的配置方式配置CBSR，使得终端设备根据预配置的选择机制确定某一组CBSR之后，再将该组CBSR所包含的m个CBSR作为PMI的确定依据之一。
可选地，CBSR配置信息所配置的至少一组CBSR中包含有多组CBSR的情况下，不同组CBSR可以对应于不同的测量假设。
示例性的，该n个CSI-RS分别对应于n个不同的网络设备，而n个不同的网络设备中任意两个或两个以上的网络设备可以组成提供通信服务的协作集。其中，每一种协作集可以称为一种测量假设，即n个CSI-RS对应多种测量假设，且多种测量假设中的某一种测量假设对应该m个CSI-RS，使得该测量假设能够确定PMI对应的m个CSI-RS。此外，在该实现方式中，该CBSR配置信息用于配置多组CBSR信息，该多组CBSR信息与该多种测量假设一一对应，且该多组CBSR信息中的一组CBSR信息包括该m个CBSR信息。换言之，第一配置信息中的CBSR配置信息以“测量假设”为粒度的配置方式配置CBSR。
在另一种可能的实现方式中，该CBSR配置信息用于配置多个CBSR包括：CBSR配置信息用于配置n个CBSR；该终端设备在步骤S603中基于m个CSI-RS和该多个CBSR中的m个CBSR确定PMI之前，该方法还包括：该终端设备从该n个CBSR中确定该m个CBSR。
具体地，第一配置信息中的CBSR配置信息用于配置n个CBSR，使得终端设备在确定PMI之前，该终端设备在该n个CBSR所包含的m个CBSR作为确定PMI的依据之一。换言之，第一配置信息中的CBSR配置信息以“CSI-RS”为粒度的配置方式配置CBSR，使得终端设备可以将该n个CBSR所包含的m个CBSR作为PMI的确定依据之一。
S604.终端设备发送PMI。
本实施例中，终端设备在步骤S604中发送PMI，相应的，网络设备在步骤S604中接收PMI。
在一种可能的实现方式中，终端设备在步骤S604中发送的PMI包含于CSI，该CSI还包括以下至少一项：该m个CSI-RS对应的CSI-RS端口集合的索引；或，该m个CSI-RS的索引。具体地，终端设备在接收n个CSI-RS之后，该终端设备所发送的PMI为基于n个CSI-RS中的部分或全部CSI-RS(即m个CSI-RS)所确定的，为此，该终端设备可以在CSI中携带上述信息中的至少一项，以便于该CSI的接收方明确PMI所对应的m个CSI-RS。
基于图6所示技术方案，终端设备在步骤S601中接收的第一配置信息包括n个CSI-RS的配置信息，以及与该n个CSI-RS对应的CBSR配置信息，且该CBSR配置信息用于配置多个CBSR。此后，该终端设备在步骤S602中基于该第一配置信息中的n个CSI-RS的配置信息接收n个CSI-RS之后，该终端设备在步骤S603中基于第一配置信息中的CBSR配置信息确定PMI，且m为大于1的整数，即m个CSI-RS来自于不同的网络设备。换言之，终端设备用于接收来自不同的网络设备的CSI-RS的配置信息以及不同的网络设备所对应的CBSR的配置信息均位于该第一配置信息。相比于终端设备需要分别接收来自不同网络设备的配置信息，用以分别确定不同网络设备的CSI-RS的配置信息以及不同的网络设备所对应的CBSR的配置信息的实现方式，可以节省开销，提升通信效率。
此外，上述技术方案可以应用在终端设备所接收的数据流来自不同的网络设备的应用场景中，实现了该场景下对不同网络设备的CBSR进行配置，并使得终端设备明确在该应用场景下，可以基于第一配置信息获取不同网络设备对应的CBSR，并基于该CBSR配置信息发送PMI。
