背景技术
随着通信技术的发展，通信系统使用的频谱越来越宽，配置的发送天线的数目越来越多，网络设备整体消耗功率随之上升。但网络设备侧的功耗与业务负载并不成正比。为此，网络设备可能通过关断比分发射通道的方式节能。但是，终端设备无法获知网络设备的功率的变化，会影响终端设备的信道测量，影响通信质量。

具体实施方式
下面将结合附图，对本申请实施例中的技术方案进行描述。
图1是本申请的实施例应用的通信系统1000的架构示意图。如图1所示，该通信系统包括无线接入网100和核心网200，可选的，通信系统1000还可以包括互联网300。其中，无线接入网100可以包括至少一个无线接入网设备(如图1中的110a和110b)，还可以包括至少一个终端(如图1中的120a-120j)。终端通过无线的方式与无线接入网设备相连，无线接入网设备通过无线或有线方式与核心网连接。核心网设备与无线接入网设备可以是独立的不同的物理设备，也可以是将核心网设备的功能与无线接入网设备的逻辑功能集成在同一个物理设备上，还可以是一个物理设备上集成了部分核心网设备的功能和 部分的无线接入网设备的功能。终端和终端之间以及无线接入网设备和无线接入网设备之间可以通过有线或无线的方式相互连接。图1只是示意图，该通信系统中还可以包括其它网络设备，如还可以包括无线中继设备和无线回传设备，在图1中未画出。
无线接入网设备可以是基站(base station)、演进型基站(evolved NodeB，eNodeB)、发送接收点(transmission reception point，TRP)、第五代(5th generation，5G)移动通信系统中的下一代基站(next generation NodeB，gNB)、第六代(6th generation，6G)移动通信系统中的下一代基站、未来移动通信系统中的基站或WiFi系统中的接入节点等；也可以是完成基站部分功能的模块或单元，例如，可以是集中式单元(central unit，CU)，也可以是分布式单元(distributed unit，DU)。这里的CU完成基站的无线资源控制协议和分组数据汇聚层协议(packet data convergence protocol，PDCP)的功能，还可以完成业务数据适配协议(service data adaptation protocol，SDAP)的功能；DU完成基站的无线链路控制层和介质访问控制(medium access control，MAC)层的功能，还可以完成部分物理层或全部物理层的功能，有关上述各个协议层的具体描述，可以参考第三代合作伙伴计划(3rd generation partnership project，3GPP)的相关技术规范。无线接入网设备可以是宏基站(如图1中的110a)，也可以是微基站或室内站(如图1中的110b)，还可以是中继节点或施主节点等。本申请的实施例对无线接入网设备所采用的具体技术和具体设备形态不做限定。为了便于描述，下文以基站作为无线接入网设备的例子进行描述。
终端也可以称为终端设备、用户设备(user equipment，UE)、移动台、移动终端等。终端可以广泛应用于各种场景，例如，设备到设备(device-to-device，D2D)、车物(vehicle to 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。
基站和终端可以是固定位置的，也可以是可移动的。基站和终端可以部署在陆地上，包括室内或室外、手持或车载；也可以部署在水面上；还可以部署在飞机、气球和人造卫星上。本申请的实施例对基站和终端的应用场景不做限定。
基站和终端的角色可以是相对的，例如，图1中的直升机或无人机120i可以被配置成移动基站，对于那些通过120i接入到无线接入网100的终端120j来说，终端120i是基站；但对于基站110a来说，120i是终端，即110a与120i之间是通过无线空口协议进行通信的。当然，110a与120i之间也可以是通过基站与基站之间的接口协议进行通信的，此时，相对于110a来说，120i也是基站。因此，基站和终端都可以统一称为通信装置，图1中的110a和110b可以称为具有基站功能的通信装置，图1中的120a-120j可以称为具有终端功能的通信装置。
基站和终端之间、基站和基站之间、终端和终端之间可以通过授权频谱进行通信，也可以通过免授权频谱进行通信，也可以同时通过授权频谱和免授权频谱进行通信；可以通过6千兆赫(gigahertz，GHz)以下的频谱进行通信，也可以通过6GHz以上的频谱进行通信，还可以同时使用6GHz以下的频谱和6GHz以上的频谱进行通信。本申请的实施例对无线通信所使用的频谱资源不做限定。
在本申请的实施例中，基站的功能也可以由基站中的模块(如芯片)来执行，也可以由包含有基站功能的控制子系统来执行。这里的包含有基站功能的控制子系统可以是智能电网、工业控制、智能交通、智慧城市等上述应用场景中的控制中心。终端的功能也可以由终端中的模块(如芯片或调制解调器)来执行，也可以由包含有终端功能的装置来执行。
本申请实施例提供的技术方案可以应用于通信设备间的无线通信。通信设备间的无线通信可以包括：网络设备和终端间的无线通信、网络设备和网络设备间的无线通信以及终端设备和终端设备间的无线通信。其中，在本申请实施例中，术语“无线通信”还可以简称为“通信”，术语“通信”还可以描述为“数据传输”、“信息传输”或“传输”。
可以理解的是，本申请的实施例中，物理上行共享信道(physical downlink share channel，PDSCH)、物理下行控制信道(physical downlink control channel，PDCCH)和物理上行共享信道(physical uplink share channel，PUSCH)只是分别作为下行数据信道、下行控制信道和上行数据信道一种举例，在不同的系统和不同的场景中，数据信道和控制信道可能有不同的名称，本申请的实施例对此并不做限定。
为了便于理解本申请实施例的方案，对相关概念做一解释。
1.信道状态信息(channel state information，CSI)：信号通过无线信道由发射端到接收端的过程中，由于可能经历散射、反射以及能量随距离的衰减，从而产生衰落。CSI用于表征无线信道的特征，可以包括预编码矩阵指示(Pre-coding Matrix Indicator,PMI)、信道质量指示(Channel Quantity Indicator,CQI)、CSI-RS资源指示(CSI-RS resource indicator，CRI)、同步信号和物理广播信道块(synchronization signal and physical broadcast channel block，SSB)资源指示(SSB resource indicator，SSBRI)、层指示(layer indicator，LI)、秩指示(rank indicator，RI)、-参考信号接收功率(reference signal received power，RSRP)和信号与干扰噪声比(signal to interference plus noise ratio，SINR)中的至少一种。CSI可由终端设备通过物理上行控制信道(physical uplink control channel，PUCCH)或物理上行共享信道(physical uplink share channel，PUSCH)发送给网络设备。
2.信道状态信息报告配置(CSI-ReportConfig)：主要用于配置信道状态上报有关的参数，例如上报的类型，上报的测量的指标等。其中，上报配置标识(reportConfigId)，为该CSI-ReportConfig的标识(identity，ID)号，用于标记该CSI-ReportConfig；信道测量资源(resourcesForChannelMeasurement)，用于配置信道测量的信道状态信息-参考信号(CSI-Reference Signal,CSI-RS)资源，通过CSI上报资源标识(CSI-ResourceConfigId)关联到资源配置；干扰测量资源(CSI-IM-RessourcesForInterference)，配置用于干扰测量的CSI-RS的资源，通过CSI-ResourceConfigId关联到资源配置。
可选的，CSI上报的参数可以包括CSI上报类型(reportConfigType)、CSI上报量(reportQuantity)等，网络设备可以通过不同的上报量配置，让终端设备上报不同的CSI，
3.信道状态信息资源配置(CSI-ResourceConfig)：用于配置CSI测量的资源相关的信息。可以包括CSI上报资源标识(CSI-ResourceConfigId)和/或CSI资源结合队列(CSI-RS-ResourceSetList)等。其中，CSI-ResourceConfigId用于标记该csi-ResourceConfig；CSI-RS-ResourceSetList可以包括用于信道测量的资源集合和用于干扰测量的资源集合。
4.CSI报告(CSI report)：CSI报告由终端发送给基站，用于网络设备获知其向终端设备发送下行信息时的信道状态。1个CSI report用于指示终端设备反馈1份CSI，不同CSI 可以对应不同的频带、不同的传输假设、不同的上报模式或者上报量。
一般来说，一个CSI report可以关联1个用于信道测量的参考信号资源，还可以关联1个或多个用于干扰测量的参考信号资源。一个CSI report对应一个传输资源，CSI对应的传输资源也可以理解为发送该CSI的时频资源。
5.参考信号：是由发射端提供给接收端用于信道估计或信道探测的一种已知信号。本申请的实施例中，参考信号可用于信道测量、干扰测量等，如测量参考信号接收质量(reference signal receiving quality，RSRQ)、SINR、CQI和/或PMI等参数。
6.参考信号资源：包括参考信号的时频资源、天线端口、功率资源以及扰码等资源中的至少一种。网络设备可以基于参考信号资源向终端设备发送参考信号，相应的，终端设备可以基于参考信号资源接收参考信号。
本申请实施例中涉及的参考信号可以包括以下一种或多种参考信号：信道状态信息参考信号(channel state information-reference signal，CSI-RS)、SSB或者探测参考信号(sounding reference signal，SRS)。与此对应地，参考信号资源可以包括CSI-RS资源、SSB资源或者SRS资源。在某些情况下，SSB也可以是指SSB资源。
7.路径损耗(pathloss，PL)：简称路损，指的是电磁信号由发送端发送给接收端的过程中由于信道衰落导致的发送功率和接收功率的差。一般来说，距离越远路径损耗越大。对于网络设备向终端设备发送的信号，终端设备可以根据不同的CSI-RS资源测量得到PL。
8.功率余量上报(power headroom report，PHR)指的是终端设备发送上行信息时，实际的发送功率与终端设备可达到的最大发送功率的差。实际的发送功率在计算时考虑PL。功率余量上报的一个作用是通知网络设备当前终端设备PL，可以用于网络设备调整终端设备上行发送的功率。
9.波束失败恢复流程：当UE检测到用于波束故障检测的RSRP低于门限时，会导致信号译码失败。当UE连续N次译码失败时，终端设备认为该波束失效，此时终端设备会通过新的波束向网络设备发送物理随机接入信道(physicalrandomaccesschannel，PRACH)。
随着蜂窝通信技术的发展，通信系统使用的频谱越来越宽，配置的发送天线数目越来越多，网络设备的整体消耗功率越来越高。但是，网络设备侧的功耗与业务负载并不成正比，每个TTI上网络设备的功耗都包括很多部分，例如与负载相关的动态部分，比如通过下行控制信息(downlink control information，DCI)等动态信令实现相关通信带来的功耗；每个TTI上网络设备的功耗还包括与负载无关的静态部分，比如设备的硬件结构自有的功耗。为此，研究人员提出通过关断部分发送天线的方法，来达到节省网络设备功率的目的。但是，终端设备无法及时获知网络设备的发送天线的变化，因此难以确定网络设备的功率变化，导致终端设备的信道测量结果可能不准确，进一步影响终端设备的通信质量。
为了提高终端设备信道测量的准确性，提高通信质量，本申请实施例提出一种通信方法，如图2所示，该方法可以包括以下步骤：
步骤201：网络设备向终端设备发送第一信息，对应地，终端设备接收该第一信息。
第一信息用于配置第一CSI-RS的第一发送功率。第一发送功率可以是网络设备在天线端口数发生变化前发送第一CSI-RS的功率。
第一信息可以承载于无线资源控制(radio resource control，RRC)信令。示例地，第一信息可以为信道状态信息报告配置字段，或者，第一信息可以为信道状态信息资源配置 字段。或者，网络设备可以向终端设备发送下行控制信息DCI，该DCI中包括第一发送功率，又或者，第一信息可以承载于媒体接入控制控制元素(media access control control element，MAC CE)。
关于第一信息如何配置第一CSI-RS的第一发送功率，一种可选的方式中，第一信息可以显示地指示第一CSI-RS的第一发送功率。或者，第一信息可以隐式地指示第一CSI-RS的第一发送功率，例如，第一信息指示第一发送功率相对于其他已知信号发送功率的偏置。
示例一，当第一信息承载于信道状态信息资源配置的字段时，该信道状态信息资源配置可以如下所示：
其中，powerControlOffsetSS为SSB的发送功率与该第一CSI-RS的第一发送功率的偏移。终端设备可以通过已知的SSB发送功率和该功率偏移，确定该第一CSI-RS的第一发送功率。
上述示例中，网络设备将第一信息承载在其他信息中一并发送，能够节省信令开销。
可以理解的是，网络设备可以在向终端设备发送第一CSI-RS之前向终端设备指示第一发送功率，网络设备也可以在向终端设备发送第一CSI-RS之后向终端设备指示第一发送功率，又或者，网络设备可以将第一发送功率与第一CSI-RS同时发送给终端设备，本申请实施例对此不做限定。
示例二，当第一信息隐式地指示第一CSI-RS的第一发送功率时，可选的，第一信息指示第一天线端口数，该第一天线端口数可以是第一CSI-RS在第一发送功率下的天线端口数。终端设备可以根据第一端口数确定第一发送功率。
步骤202：网络设备向终端设备发送第二信息，对应地，终端设备接收该第二信息。
其中，第二信息用于指示第一CSI-RS的功率偏置。
该功率偏置可以是第一发送功率与第一CSI-RS的第二发送功率的差值。其中，第一发送功率可以理解为在先发送功率，第二发送功率可以理解为在第一发送功率的基础上，天线端口发生变化后的发送功率。对应地，第一信息指示第一天线端口数时，该第一天线端口数可以理解为网络设备的天线端口数发生变化前的天线端口数。
应理解，上述示例中，第一天线端口数是由网络设备通过第一信息指示给终端设备的，第一天线端口数还可以由网络设备通过第一信息之外的信息指示给终端设备，或者，第一天线端口数还可以是预配置的，本申请实施例对此不做限定。
上述通过第二信息指示功率偏置的方式可以分为隐式指示和显示指示。
其中，隐式指示方式有以下两种：
隐式指示方式1：网络设备通过第二信息指示第二天线端口数，第二天线端口数为第一CSI-RS在第二发送功率下的端口数，换句话说，第二天线端口数指的是网络设备天线端口数发生变化之后的天线端口。也就是说网络设备向终端设备直接指示变化后的天线端口数。
隐式指示方式2：网络设备通过第二信息指示天线端口数偏置，第二信息的内容包括天线端口数偏置，该天线端口数偏置为第一天线端口数与第二天线端口数的差值。天线端口数偏置可以是绝对值，也可以是实际值(realvalue)。举个例子，网络设备向终端设备指示天线端口数偏置为3，或者，网络设备向终端设备指示天线端口数偏置为-3。该天线端口数偏置可以用于终端设备确定第二天线端口数，第二天线端口数可以用于终端设备确定功率偏置。一种可能的方式，当该天线端口数偏置为绝对值时，网络设备还应向终端设备指示第一天线端口数与第二天线端口数的大小关系。另一种可能的方式，网络设备与终端设备可以预定义计算规则：当网络设备向终端设备指示的天线端口偏置大于0时，终端设备默认第一天线端口数大于第二天线端口数。
网络设备可以通过天线端口数或者天线端口偏置向终端设备指示功率偏置，提升了网络设备指示功率变化的灵活性。
显示指示方式：第二信息的内容包括功率偏置的值。
该功率偏置可以是绝对值，也可以是实际值。一种可能的方式，当该功率偏置为绝对值时，网络设备还应向终端设备指示第一发送功率与第二发送功率的大小关系。另一种可能的方式，网络设备与终端设备可以预定义计算规则：当网络设备向终端设备指示的功率偏置大于0时，终端设备默认第一发送功率大于第二发送功率。
网络设备向终端设备直接指示功率偏置值，进一步提高了终端设备确定功率偏置的效率。
可选地，第二信息可以承载于广播消息，也可以是组播消息，又或者可以是小区级信息。或者说，网络设备可以通过第二信息向多个UE指示CSI-RS的功率偏置。一种示例中，第二信息为组无线网络临时标识(goup radio network temporary identidier，G-RNTI)加扰的信息，该网络设备向一组UE中的每个UE指示的CSI-RS的功率偏置，该方式下，网络设备将功率变化信息通过一条第二信息通知给多个终端设备，从而节省网络设备的信令开销。
步骤203：终端设备根据第一发送功率和功率偏置，确定第一CSI-RS的第二发送功 率。
可以理解的是，终端设备在确定第二发送功率前还需要确定第二天线端口数。下面根据第二信息的不同情况对终端设备确定第二天线端口数的方法进行陈述。
对应于步骤202中的隐式指示方式1，当第二信息的内容包括第二天线端口数时，终端设备无需计算，直接根据第二信息确定第二天线端口数。示例地，第二信息指示第一天线端口数为5，则终端设备确定第一天线端口数为5。
对应于步骤202中的隐式指示方式2，网络设备向终端设备发送第二信息，第二信息指示天线端口数偏置，分为以下几种情况：
情况1：第二信息包括的天线端口数偏置为绝对值时，网络设备与终端设备预配置计算规则，当网络设备向终端设备指示的天线端口数偏置大于0时，终端设备默认第一天线端口数大于第二天线端口数。则，当终端设备接收到的天线端口偏置大于0时，在第一天线端口数的基础上减去该天线端口数偏置即可得到第二天线端口数。示例地，天线端口数偏置为3，网络设备向终端设备指示第一天线端口数为6，则终端设备可以根据该天线端口数偏置与该第二天线端口数确定第二天线端口数为6-3＝3。
情况2：第二信息包括的天线端口数偏置为绝对值时，网络设备还指示终端设备第二天线端口数与第一天线端口数的大小关系。示例地，网络设备指示天线端口数偏置为2，并指示第一天线端口数大于第二天线端口数，第一天线端口数为7，则，终端设备计算第二天线端口数为7-2＝5。另一个示例，网络设备向终端设备指示的天线端口偏置为2，第一天线端口数为7，并指示第二天线端口数大于第一天线端口数，则，终端设备计算第二天线端口数为7+2＝9。
情况3：当网络设备向终端设备指示的天线端口数偏置为实际值时，终端设备根据第二信息，第一天线端口数，就可以直接确定第二天线端口数。示例地，网络设备与终端设备预定义，终端设备可以根据该天线端口数偏置直接进行计算，得到第一天线端口数。比如，当网络设备向终端设备指示天线端口偏置为3，第一天线端口数为5，终端设备计算第二天线端口数为5+3＝8；当网络设备向终端设备指示天线端口偏置为-3，第一天线端口数为5，终端设备计算第二天线端口数为5+(-3)＝2。
应理解，终端设备计算第二天线端口数的规则可以与网络设备预配置，终端设备在接收到第二信息时根据预配置的规则进行计算。
终端设备根据上述方式确定第二天线端口数后，可以根据下述方法进一步确定第二发送功率：
示例地，终端设备确定第一天线端口数与第二天线端口数的比值，根据第一发送功率，和，第一天线端口数与第二天线端口数的比值，确定第二发送功率。比如，终端设备确定第一天线端口为64，根据第二信息确定第二天线端口数为32，终端设备确定第二线端口数与第一天线端口数的比值为1/2，第一发送功率的数值为200，则终端设备确定第二发送功率的数值的一种方法为：200*1/2＝100。应理解，允许第二发送功率的取值存在一定的误差，比如，第二发送功率实际取值可能为100.5，等等。还应理解，第二线端口数与第一天线端口数的比值也可能只作为用于确定第二发送功率的多个参数中的一个参数。本申请实施例对此不做限定。
对应于步骤202中的显示指示方式，当第二信息用于指示功率偏置时，终端设备根据 功率偏置确定第二发送功率，示例地，
情况A：该功率偏置为第二发送功率与第一发送功率的差值时，终端设备根据第一发送功率和功率偏置确定第二发送功率，可以参考步骤203中终端设备根据天线端口数偏置确定第一天线端口数的方法，此处不再赘述。举个例子，第一发送功率的数值为200，功率偏置为50，且第一发送功率大于第二发送功率，则第二发送功率的数值为150。
可选地，网络设备通过第二信息指示功率偏置时，终端设备可以根据该功率偏置，对第一CSI-RS的发送功率进行重配置。
以步骤201中的信道状态信息资源配置为例，当功率偏置为第一发送功率与第二发送功率的差值offset0时，终端设备接收到功率偏置后，可以修改powerControlOffsetSS，示例地，修改后的powerControlOffsetSS为：原来的powerControlOffsetSS+offset0。
基于上述步骤201至203的描述，在一个可选的实施例中，该方法还可以包括步骤204：终端设备确定第二参考信号接收功率。
其中，第二参考信号接收功率为与第二发送功率对应的第一CSI-RS的参考信号接收功率，换句话说，第二参考信号接收功率为网络设备发送天线的端口数发生变化之后，终端设备接收第一CSI-RS的接收功率。
终端设备确定第二参考信号接收功率可以有以下两种方式：
方式1：终端设备根据第二发送功率与所述第一发送功率的差值，和，第一参考信号接收功率RSRP确定第二参考信号接收功率RSRP。
第一RSRP为与第一发送功率对应的第一CSI-RS的参考信号接收功率，换句话说，第一RSRP为网络设备发送天线的端口数发生变化之前，终端设备接收第一CSI-RS的接收功率。
其中，第二发送功率与第一发送功率的差值可以根据步骤202中的第二信息确定，比如，第二信息指示功率偏置，当该功率偏置为第一发送功率与第二发送功率的差值时，终端设备可以直接根据该第二信息确定第二发送功率和第一发送功率的差值；当该功率偏置为基准值与第二发送功率的差值时，终端设备可以根据基准值与第二发送功率的差值，和第一发送功率，确定第二发送功率和第一发送功率的差值。
终端设备确定第二参考信号接收功率的一个示例，终端设备测量第一CSI-RS得到第一RSRP，将第一RSRP与第二发送功率和第一发送功率的差值求和即可得到第二参考信号接收功率。比如，第一RSRP的数值为200，第二发送功率和第一发送功率的差值为-30，则可以得到第二参考信号接收功率的数值为200+(-30)＝170。又或者，第二发送功率和第一发送功率的差值为30，则可以得到第二参考信号接收功率的数值为200+30＝230。
方式2：终端设备可以根据第二CSI-RS获取第二参考信号接收功率。
第二CSI-RS可以是网络设备可以指示的CSI-RS，比如，网络设备向终端设备发送DCI，该DCI用于指示一个CSI-RS，即指示一个CSI-RS的测量资源。可以理解的是，该DCI可以是第二信息。也就是说，第二信息还用于指示第二CSI-RS。应理解，第二信息还指示第二CSI-RS的测量资源。可选地，第二CSI-RS与第一CSI-RS的资源标识(identifier，ID)可以不同。
第二CSI-RS也可以是与第一CSI-RS相邻的下一个CSI-RS，这里的相邻指的是在网络设备为终端设备配置了周期性发送CSI-RS或者激活的半静态CSI-RS的情况下，与第一 CSI-RS相邻的下一个CSI-RS。比如，网络设备在发送第一CSI-RS的周期的下一个周期发送的CSI-RS。应理解，这种情况下，第一CSI-RS与第二CSI-RS除了位于不同的时间单元、发送功率不同之外，其他CSI-RS配置可以相同，比如测量资源ID、测量资源的时域位置和频域位置等。
终端设备根据第二CSI-RS获取第二参考信号接收功率，可以是，终端设备在第二CSI-RS的资源上对参考信号进行测量，从而获取第二参考信号接收功率。
可选地，终端设备确定第二参考信号接收功率后，可以根据第二参考信号确定路损。示例地，终端设备通过第二参考信号接收功率和第二发送功率确定路损。比如，第二参考信号接收功率的数值为8，第二发送功率的数值为10，则路损＝第二发送功率-第二参考信号接收功率＝10-8＝2。
上述路损可以用于以下几个方面：
方面一：终端设备根据路损确定上行信息的发送功率，终端设备可以通过该发送功率发送PUCCH和/或PUSCH。
方面二：终端设备根据路损确定功率余量。示例地，终端设备根据路损确定该次发送上行信息的功率后，再根据终端设备最大发送功率和该次发送上行信息的功率确定功率余量。示例地，终端设备可以确定发送该次上行信息时采用的功率为8，假设该终端设备最大发送功率为10，则，终端设备可以确定功率余量为10-8＝2。
终端设备可以将根据路损确定的功率余量上报给网络设备。一种可能的实现，该功率余量可以承载于上行信息中。
在一个可选的实施例中，该方法还可以包括步骤205：终端设备更新波束测量结果以及重新选择波束。
上述第一CSI-RS可以是网络设备通过第一波束发送的CSI-RS。第一波束为网络设备用于通信的至少一个波束中的一个。N个波束可以与N个CSI-RS一一对应。也就是说，网络设备可以向终端设备发送多个CSI-RS，不同的CSI-RS位于不同的波束上。这些CSI-RS可以通过不同的资源ID来区分。此时网络设备和终端设备可以用这些CSI-RS进行波束的测量和选择。
终端设备更新波束测量结果可以有以下方式：
方式A：终端设备重新进行波束测量和选择。
示例地，终端设备可以获取第三RSRP，第三RSRP为在天线端口数发生变化后对应的参考信号接收功率。波束#A为多个波束中的一个，比如，波束#A用于发送第三CSI-RS，波束#B用于发送第四CSI-RS，波束#C用于发送第五CSI-RS等等。终端设备在上述至少一个波束中选择用于信息传输的波束，该重新选择的波束对应的参考接收功率为至少一个波束对应的参考信号接收功率中最大的参考信号接收功率。举个例子，终端设备通过信道测量，获取波束#A发送第三CSI-RS的参考信号接收功率为10，波束#B发送第四CSI-RS的参考信号接收功率为9，波束#C发送第五CSI-RS的参考信号接收功率为13，则终端设备可以选择波束#C发送或者接收待传输信息，即波束#C为终端设备重新选择的用于信息传输的波束。
其中，终端设备对上述至少一个波束进行信道测量的时刻可以是网络设备指示的，也可以是根据网络设备为终端设备预配置的测量周期确定的。具体的方式可以参考步骤203 中的方式2的相关说明，此处不再赘述。
方式B：终端设备根据确定的第二参考信号接收功率，重新进行波束选择。
示例地，终端设备在接收第二信息之前，确定了多个波束的参考信号接收功率。在接收到第二信息后，根据步骤203中的方式1确定第二参考信号接收功率，根据该第二参考信号接收功率以及之前确定的除第二参考信号接收功率对应的波束以外的波束的参考信号接收功率，选择波束。具体地，终端设备确定波束#1的参考信号接收功率为6，波束#2的第一RSRP为8，波束#3的参考信号接收功率为5，接收到第二信息后，通过功率偏置计算波束#2的第二参考信号接收功率为4，则可以选择波束#1发送或者接收待传输信息。
应理解，上述数值只作为一种示例而非限定。
在一个可选的实施例中，该方法还可以包括步骤206：终端设备在重新选择波束之前，还可以触发波束失败恢复流程。示例地，终端设备可以根据第二信息触发波束失败恢复流程。比如，网络设备与终端设备预定义，当终端设备接收到第二信息时，或者，当网络设备发送第二信息时，即可触发波束失败恢复流程。本申请对此不做限定。
可选地，终端设备可以在当功率偏置大于或等于第一门限，或者第一路损与第二路损的差值大于或等于第一门限时，执行步骤201-步骤203的方法。其中第一路损为天线端口数发生变化前终端设备确定的路损，第二路损为天线端口数发生变化之后终端设备确定的路损。第一门限可以是网络设备指示给终端设备的，比如，网络设备通过RRC信令向终端设备指示该门限为2db，等等。该门限也可以是网络设备与终端设备预定义的，本申请对此不做限定。举个例子，网络设备与终端设备预定义该门限为5，当功率偏置为7，大于该门限，则终端设备可以执行步骤201-步骤203的方法。
该方法中通过网络设备向终端设备指示网络设备发送功率的变化，使得终端设备及时确定变化后的CSI-RS的发送功率，能够提高终端设备信道测量的准确度，进一步提升通信质量。
本申请实施例提出又一种通信方法，该方法中网络设备向终端设备指示的功率偏置为基准值与第二发送功率的差值，如图3所示，该方法可以包括以下步骤：
步骤301：网络设备向终端设备发送第一信息，对应地，终端设备接收该第一信息。
步骤301可以参考步骤201的描述，此处不再赘述。
步骤302：网络设备向终端设备发送第二信息，对应地，终端设备接收该第二信息。
第二信息用于指示第一CSI-RS的功率偏置。该功率偏置可以是基准值与第一CSI-RS的第二发送功率的差值。该基准值可以是预定义的。该基准值也可以是网络设备指示给终端设备的，示例地，该基准值可以是SSB的发送功率。
步骤303：终端设备根据基准值和功率偏置，确定第一CSI-RS的第二发送功率。
一个示例，基准值为预定义的值，功率偏置为60，第一发送功率为200，基准值为140，且第二发送功率小于基准值，则终端设备可以确定第二发送功率为140-60＝80。具体的，可以参考步骤203中终端设备根据天线端口数偏置确定第一天线端口数的方法，此处不再赘述。
另一个示例，基准值为SSB的发送功率时，比如为50，功率偏置为-10，则终端设备可以确定第二发送功率为50+(-10)＝40。应理解，该功率偏置可以是绝对值，可以是实际值，具体的指示方式和终端设备的确定方法可以参考步骤203中情况A的相关说明，不 再赘述。可选地，网络设备通过第二信息指示功率偏置时，终端设备可以根据该功率偏置，对第一CSI-RS的发送功率进行重配置。以步骤201中的信道状态信息资源配置为例，当功率偏置为基准值与第二发送功率的差值offset1时，如果基准值为SSB信号的发送功率，终端设备接收到功率偏置后，可以将powerControlOffsetSS修改为offset1。
可选地，终端设备可以在当功率偏置大于或等于第一门限，或者第一路损与第二路损的差值大于或等于第一门限时，执行步骤301-步骤303的方法。具体地，可以参考图2所示方法中的相关说明。
该方法中，终端设备可以根据基准值和功率偏置确定第二发送功率，提高了终端设备确定第二发送功率的灵活性。

步骤509：UE在多个波束中根据RSRP的大小关系选择波束#A。
