为便于理解本申请实施例的技术方案，对本申请的零功耗相关技术进行说明。
一、零功耗通信
零功耗通信采用能量采集和反向散射通信技术。零功耗通信网络由网络设备和零功耗设备构成。
如图2所示，网络设备(例如接入点设备)用于向零功耗设备发送无线供能信号，下行通信信号以及接收零功耗设备的反向散射信号。一个基本的零功耗设备包含能量采集模块，反向散射通信模块以及低功耗计算模块。此外，零功耗设备还可具备一个存储器或传感器，用于存储一些基本信息(如物品标识等)或获取环境温度、环境湿度等传感数据。
以下，对零功耗通信中的关键技术进行说明。
1、射频能量采集(RF Power Harvesting)
如图3所示，射频能量采集模块基于电磁感应原理实现对空间电磁波能量的采集，进而获得驱动零功耗设备工作所需的能量，例如用于驱动低功耗解调以及调制模块、传感器以及内存读取等。因此，零功耗设备无需传统电池。
2、反向散射通信(Back Scattering)
如图4所示，零功耗设备接收网络设备发送的载波信号，并对所述载波信号进行调制，加载需要发送的信息并将调制后的信号从天线辐射出去，这一信息传输过程称之为反向散射通信。反向散射和负载调制功能密不可分。负载调制通过对零功耗设备的振荡回路的电路参数按照数据流的节拍进行调节和控制，使电子标签阻抗的大小等参数随之改变，从而完成调制的过程。负载调制技术主要包括电阻负载调制和电容负载调制两种方式。在电阻负载调制中，负载并联一个电阻，该电阻基于二进制数据流的控制接通或断开，如图5所示。电阻的通断会导致电路电压的变化，因此实现幅度键控调制(ASK)，即通过调整零功耗设备的反向散射信号的幅度大小实现信号的调制与传输。类似地，在电容负载调制中，通过电容的通断可以实现电路谐振频率的变化，实现频率键控调制(FSK)，即通过调整零功耗设备的反向散射信号的工作频率实现信号的调制与传输。
可见，零功耗设备借助于负载调制的方式，对来波信号进行信息调制，从而实现反向散射通信过程。因此，零功耗设备具有显著的优点：
(1)设备不主动发射信号，因此不需要复杂的射频链路，如PA、射频滤波器等；
(2)设备不需要主动产生高频信号，因此不需要高频晶振；
(3)借助反向散射通信，终端信号传输不需要消耗终端自身能量。
3、编码技术
电子标签传输的数据，可以用不同形式的代码来表示二进制的“1”和“0”。无线射频识别系统通常使用下列编码方法中的一种：反向不归零(NRZ)编码、曼彻斯特(Manchester)编码、单极性归零编码、差动双相(DBP)编码、差动编码、脉冲间隔编码(PIE)、双向空间编码(FM0)、米勒(Miller)编码利差动编码等。通俗来说，不同的编码技术是采用不同的脉冲信号表示0和1。
在一些场景中，基于零功耗设备的能量来源以及使用方式，可以将零功耗设备分为如下类型：
1、无源零功耗设备
零功耗设备(如RFID系统的标签)不需要内装电池，零功耗设备接近网络设备(如RFID系统的读写器)时，零功耗设备处于网络设备天线辐射形成的近场范围内。因此，零功耗设备天线通过电磁感应产生感应电流，感应电流驱动零功耗设备的低功耗芯片电路。实现对前向链路信号的解调，以及反向链路的信号调制等工作。对于反向散射链路，零功耗设备使用反向散射实现方式进行信号的传输。
可以看出，无源零功耗设备无论是前向链路还是反向链路都不需要内置电池来驱动，是一种真正意义的零功耗设备。
无源零功耗设备不需要电池，射频电路以及基带电路都非常简单，例如不需要低噪放(LNA)，功放(PA)，晶振，模数转换器(Analog-to-Digital Converter，ADC)等器件，因此具有体积小、重量轻、价格非常便宜、使用寿命长等诸多优点。
2、半无源零功耗设备
半无源零功耗设备自身也不安装常规电池，但可使用RF能量采集模块采集无线电波能量，同时将采集的能量存储于一个储能单元(如电容)中。储能单元获得能量后，可以驱动零功耗设备的低功耗芯片电路。实现对前向链路信号的解调，以及反向链路的信号调制等工作。对于反向散射链路，零功耗设备使用反向散射实现方式进行信号的传输。
可以看出，半无源零功耗设备无论是前向链路还是反向链路都不需要内置电池来驱动，虽然工作中使用了电容储存的能量，但能量来源于能量采集模块采集的无线电能量，因此也是一种真正意义的零功耗设备。
半无源零功耗设备继承了无源零功耗设备的诸多优点，因此具有体积小、重量轻、价格非常便宜、使用寿命长等诸多优点。
3、有源零功耗设备
有些场景下使用的零功耗设备也可以为有源零功耗设备，此类终端可以内置电池。电池用于驱动零功耗设备的低功耗芯片电路。实现对前向链路信号的解调，以及反向链路的信号调制等工作。但对于反向散射链路，零功耗设备使用反向散射实现方式进行信号的传输。因此，这类终端的零功耗主要体现于反向链路的信号传输不需要终端自身功率，而是使用反向散射的方式。
二、蜂窝无源物联网
随着5G行业应用的增加，连接物的种类和应用场景越来越多，对通信终端的成本和功耗也将有更高要求，免电池、低成本的无源物联网设备的应用成为蜂窝物联网的关键技术，充实5G网络链接终端类型和数量，真正实现万物互联。其中无源物联网设备可以基于零功耗通信技术，如RFID技术，并在此基础上进行延伸，以适用于蜂窝物联网。

可选地，供能信号也可以通过新增信号实现，例如新增专用于供能的信号。
2、触发信号或称调度信号

可选地，触发信号也可以通过新增信号实现，例如新增专用于触发或调度的信号。
3、载波信号

从载波信号载体上，可以是基站、智能手机、智能网关，微基站，AP等。
从频段上，用作载波信号的无线电波可以是低频、中频、高频等。
从波形上，用作载波信号的无线电波可以是正弦波、方波、三角波、脉冲、矩形波等。
此外，该载波信号可以是连续波，也可以是非连续波(即允许一定的时间中断)。
可选地，载波信号可能是3GPP标准中的已有信号。例如SRS，PUSCH、PRACH、PUCCH、PDCCH、PDSCH、PBCH，或者WIFI信号或蓝牙信号等。
可选地，载波信号也可以通过新增信号实现，例如新增专用产生反向散射信号的载波信号。
需要说明的是，在本申请实施例中，供能信号，调度信号和载波信号可以是同一信号，或者，也可以是不同的信号，例如，供能信号可以作为载波信号，调度信号也可以用作载波信号等。
为便于理解本申请实施例，对本申请相关的免授权频谱进行说明。
免授权频谱是国家和地区划分的可用于无线电设备通信的频谱，该频谱通常被认为是共享频谱，即不同通信系统中的通信设备只要满足国家或地区在该频谱上设置的法规要求，就可以使用该频谱，不需要向政府申请专有的频谱授权。为了让使用免授权频谱进行无线通信的各个通信系统在该频谱上能够友好共存，一些国家或地区规定了使用免授权频谱必须满足的法规要求。例如，在欧洲地区，通信设备遵循“先听后说(listen-before-talk，LBT)”原则，即通信设备在免授权频谱的信道上进行信号发送前，需要先进行信道侦听，只有当信道侦听结果为信道空闲时，该通信设备才能进行信号发送；如果通信设备在免授权频谱的信道上的信道侦听结果为信道忙，该通信设备不能进行信号发送。并且为了保证公平性，在一次传输中，通信设备使用免授权频谱的信道进行信号传输的时长不能超过最大信道占用时间(Maximum Channel Occupation Time，MCOT)。
目前使用免授权频谱进行通信的系统包括了WIFI，和3GPP的非授权频谱上的NR(NR-based access to unlicensed spectrum，NR-U)技术等。
为便于理解本申请实施例，对本申请相关的信道侦听技术进行说明。
信道监听原则是通信设备在业务到达后进行免授权频谱的载波上的LBT，并在LBT成功后在该载波上开始信号的发送。在使用免授权频谱的不同的通信系统分别采用了不同的信道侦听技术，它们同时要保证满足法规的要求，以保证各个通信系统在使用免授权频谱时的公平性。
例如，对于WIFI系统，信道侦听采用了载波侦听机制，包括物理载波侦听和虚拟载波侦听，任意一种载波监听机制的指标指示信道繁忙，则确定信道繁忙。其中，物理载波侦听采用三种信道空闲检测方式：能量检测、载波检测和能量载波混合检测，统称为空闲信道评估(clear channel assessment，CCA)。
1、能量检测(Energy Detection，ED)：对接收信号的能量大小进行判断，当接收信号的功率大于物理层规定的阈值(ED_threshold)时，认为信道被占用。若接收信号的功率小于ED_threshold，则认为信道空闲。该ED_threshold的设置与发送功率有关。
2、载波检测(Carrier Sense，CS):载波检测用于识别802.11数据帧的物理层头部(PLCP header)中的前导(preamble)部分。其中，在802.11中，数据帧的preamble部分采用特定的序列构造，该序列对于发送方和接收方都是已知的，用来做帧同步以及符号同步。在实际检测过程中，节点会不断采样信道信号，根据该信道信号进行自相关或者互相关运算。其中，自相关在基于正交频分复用(Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing，OFDM)的802.11技术(比如802.11a)中常用，而互相关在基于直接序列扩频(Direct Se quence Spread Spectrum，DSSS)技术(比如802.11b)中常用。 与能量检测类似，相关计算值需要与一个阈值进行比较，若大于阈值，则认为检测到了一个信号。若小于阈值，则认为没有检测到信号。
3、能量和载波混合检测(ED&CS)：在802.11中，根据物理层使用的技术来决定采用的检测技术。DSSS技术结合了能量检测和载波检测，而跳频扩频(Frequency-Hopping Spread Spectrum，FHSS)技术则仅采用载波检测技术。混合检测中，任意一种检测技术的指标被检测到超限，就认为信道正在被占用。
零功耗设备由于其低成本、低复杂度、低功耗的特点，在蜂窝通信系统中具有广泛的应用，如无源物联网。而免授权频段的使用也是蜂窝通信系统中的一个重要的部署场景。当零功耗设备应用于WIFI系统中时，如何保持与传统WIFI设备的兼容性是一项亟需解决的问题。
为便于理解本申请实施例，对本申请解决的技术问题进行说明。
由于零功耗设备和传统WIFI设备的通信接口不同，WIFI系统中的已有WIFI信号，零功耗设备可能无法接收，并且由于零功耗设备的处理能力有限，也无法产生WIFI信号。因此当一个新类型的设备应用于在WIFI系统中时，与传统WIFI设备的兼容性是需要考虑的问题。
例如，传统WIFI设备的信道侦听采用的载波检测机制。WIFI设备对于信道的载波检测基于802.11数据帧(例如物理层汇聚协议(Physical Layer Convergence Protocol，PLCP)协议数据单元(PLCP Protocol Data Unit，PPDU))的物理层头部中的前导(preamble)信号部分，而零功耗设备的反向散射无法产生此信号。如果零功耗设备的反向散射不能发送preamble信号，传统WIFI终端就无法通过检测preamble信号检测到零功耗设备在使用信道，从而可能也使用此信道进行传输，造成干扰。
具体地，PPDU帧包括物理层头部，物理层头部可以包括preamble，图6和图7示出了两种典型的PPDU帧的格式图，如图6所示，对于802.11a/g的PPDU帧的物理层头部包括：短训练字段(Short Training Field，STF)，长训练字段(Long Training Field，LTF)和信号(SIGNAL)字段。
其中，STF主要是由10个短的符号(symbol)组成(t1-t10)，其每一个symbol是0.8us，其实现了多个功能，主要包括帧同步和粗频率同步。其中t1-t7主要实现的功能包括信号检测(Signal Detect)，自动增益控制(Auto gain control，AGC)，分集选择(Diversity Selection)，t8-t10实现的功能包括粗频率(Coarse Freq)，偏移量估算(Offset Estimation)，定时同步(Timing Synchronize)功能。LTF主要用于实现细频率同步和信道估计。对于载波检测，WIFI设备可以将STF作为preamble，对其进行自相关或者互相关计算来完成载波检测。
如图7所示，对于802.11b的PPDU帧的物理层头部包括：前导(preamble)部分和头(header)部分，在preamble部分包含两个部分，同步(sync)和SFD，其中sync是用来做帧同步的，SFD是作为帧起始标识的。
如图7所示，该802.11b的PPDU帧还包括数据部分，例如PLCP服务数据单元(PLCP Service Data Unit，PSDU)或媒体接入控制(Media Access Control，MAC)协议数据单元(MAC Protocol Data Unit，MPDU)。

在一些实施例中，所述零功耗通信可以包括反向散射通信，或者也可以包括其他无源或半无源的 通信方式，以下以反向散射通信为例进行说明，但本申请并不限于此。

因此，所述零功耗设备在接收所述第二部分信号之后，可以根据所述第二部分信号中的第一指示信息确定所述第一部分信号的资源位置，然后可以根据所述第一部分信号的资源位置进行第一部分信号的接收。
在一些实施例中，所述零功耗设备可以基于接收的第一部分信号进行反向散射，这样，零功耗设备的反向散射信号中也可以包括前导信号，从而，非零功耗设备(例如传统WIFI设备)可以基于该前导信号检测到零功耗设备正在使用信道。
在一些实施例中，所述第一部分信号的资源位置和所述第二部分信号的资源位置的位置关系可以是预定义的，或者是接入点设备配置的。即，接入点设备和零功耗设备对于第一部分信号和第二部分信号之间的位置关系的理解一致。
在一些实施例中，所述第一部分信号的资源位置和第二部分信号的资源位置具有第一偏移量。
例如，第一前导信号的时域位置和第二前导信号的时域位置具有第一偏移量。
在一些实施例中，所述第一偏移量是预定义的或所述接入点设备配置的。
在一些实施例中，所述第二部分信号在时域上早于所述第一部分信号。例如，第二前导信号在时域上早于第一前导信号。

在一些实施例中，所述第四前导信号可以用于载波检测。
在一些实施例中，所述第四前导信号采用传统802.11无线接口支持的信号波形，例如OFDM调制的波形。
因此，在本申请实施例中，零功耗设备可以利用载波发送设备发送的802.11数据帧的物理层部分的preamble信号进行反向散射，这样，零功耗设备的反向散射信号中也可以包括传统802.11无线接口支持的信号波形，这样，非零功耗设备(例如WIFI设备)可以基于该preamble信号进行载波检测。

所述零功耗设备根据所述第二信号所在的信道和所述反向散射信号所在的信道是否属于同一信道带宽，确定是否对所述第三前导信号进行反向散射。
在一些实施例中，在所述第二信号所在的信道和所述反向散射信号所在的信道属于同一信道带宽的情况下，零功耗设备不对所述第三前导信号进行反向散射。
具体地，由于载波发送设备在发送第二信号时，需要进行信道侦听并获得信道占用权，若第二信号和反向散射信号所在的频域资源位置属于同一信道带宽，零功耗设备的反向散射可以是不需要进行信道侦听的。第二信号包括preamble信号和载波信号，零功耗设备可以不对该preamble信号进行反向散射，而只对第二信号中的载波信号进行调制来产生反向散射信号，即反向散射信号可以只包括零功耗无线帧。由于第二信号包括preamble信号，并且第二信号和反向散射信号属于同一信道带宽，相当于在反向散射信号所在信道上的反向散射信号也包括preamble信号，此情况下，非零功耗设备基于该反向散射信号进行载波检测，也可以确定信道正在被使用，从而保证载波检测的准确性。
图15是第二信号所在的信道和所述反向散射信号所在的信道属于同一信道带宽的情况下，反向散射信号的信号组成示意图。
在另一些实施例中，在所述第二信号所在的信道和所述反向散射信号所在的信道不属于同一信道带宽的情况下，零功耗设备对所述第三前导信号进行反向散射。
具体地，由于载波发送设备在发送第二信号时，需要进行信道侦听并获得信道占用权，若第二信号和反向散射信号所在的频域资源位置属于不同的信道带宽，零功耗设备需要在反向散射信号所在的信道上进行侦听，例如基于能量检测的侦听。在确定信道空闲之后，使用信道发送反向散射信号。此情况下，零功耗设备需要对第二信号中的preamble信号进行反向散射，从而在反向散射信号所在的信道上的反向散射信号也包括preamble部分，此情况下，非零功耗设备基于该反向散射信号进行载波检测，可以确定信道正在被使用，从而保证载波检测的准确性。
图16是第二信号所在的信道和所述反向散射信号所在的信道属于不同信道带宽的情况下，反向散射信号的信号组成示意图。
也即，在所述第二信号所在的信道和所述反向散射信号所在的信道属于同一信道带宽的情况下，所述反向散射信号包括零功耗无线帧；或者
在所述第二信号所在的信道和所述反向散射信号所在的信道不属于同一信道带宽的情况下，所述反向散射信号包括第四前导信号和零功耗无线帧。
在一些实施例中，所述零功耗设备可以根据接入点设备的第三指示信息确定是否对所述第三前导信号进行反向散射，其中，所述第三指示信息用于指示是否对第三前导信号进行反向散射。
在一些实施例中，所述第三指示信息携带在所述第二信号中。
