Description

用于处理信号的方法和通信装置
本申请要求于2022年03月24日提交国家知识产权局、申请号为202210303709.3、申请名称为“一种波束训练方法”,以及,要求于2022年07月08日提交国家知识产权局、申请号为202210806902.9、申请名称为“用于处理信号的方法和通信装置”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
本申请涉及通信领域,并且更具体地涉及通信领域中用于处理信号的方法和通信装置。
背景技术
两个设备在通信的过程中,为了克服通信中的路损,可以通过定向波束传输信号。两个设备在传输信号之前,需要进行波束训练。传统的波束训练方法中,一个时域符号上只能训练一个波束。当待训练的波束较多时,训练波束所占的时域资源会变多,导致训练波束的开销较大。
发明内容
本申请实施例提供了一种用于处理信号的方法和通信装置,能够降低波束训练的开销。
第一方面,提供了一种用于处理信号的方法,所述方法适用于第一设备,包括:确定L个资源元素中的P个资源元素,所述L个资源元素中任意两个资源元素间隔M的整数倍个资源元素,所述L个资源元素为第一时域符号对应的频域资源,所述L个资源元素横跨至少两个设备的频域资源,所述P个资源元素属于第二设备的频域资源;
在所述P个资源元素上映射将要发送给所述第二设备的第一参考信号,其中,所述L个资源元素中除了所述P个资源元素之外的资源元素属于其他设备的频域资源,并且不发送任何信号,所述至少两个设备包括所述第二设备和所述其他设备;
其中,M、L和P为正整数,L大于或等于P。
在上述方案中,第一设备可以在第一时域符号对应的资源元素中确定L个资源元素中的P个资源元素,并在这P个资源元素上映射将要发送给第二设备的第一参考信号。L个资源元素中除了P个资源元素之外的资源元素不发送任何信号。L个资源元素中任意两个资源元素间隔M的整数倍个资源元素,这样第一设备发送的第一参考信号具有梳状结构。此时,第二设备在特定的采样点上接收到的第一参考信号将不会受到第一时域符号对应的资源元素中除L个资源元素以外的资源元素上映射的信号的干扰。第二设备可以测量第一参考信号在第一时域符号上的不同的采样点的能量,从而实现对不同的波束的测量,既可以提高测量波束的准确性,也能在一个时域符号内训练多个波束,从而降低资源开销。
可选地,第一设备可以为网络设备,第二设备为第一终端设备,至少两个设备可以为至少两个终端设备。
可选地,第一设备为第三终端设备,第二设备为第四终端设备,至少两个设备可以为 至少两个终端设备。
可选地,第一时域符号可以为第一正交频分复用(orthogonal frequency division multiplexing,OFDM)符号。
可选地,P个RE属于第二设备的频域资源可以理解为:第二设备的频域资源包括P个RE,或者P个RE位于第二设备的频带,或者第二设备的频带包括P个RE。
可选地,L个RE中除了P个RE之外的RE不发送任何信号可以理解为:第一设备在L个RE中除了P个RE之外的RE不映射任何信号,或者,第一设备在L个RE中除了P个RE之外的RE映射信号,但是对L个RE中除了P个RE之外的RE进行打孔(punctuation)处理。可选地,L个RE中除了P个RE之外的RE也可以称为空白RE。
可选地,第二设备的频域资源中P个RE用于映射第一参考信号,第一设备在第二设备的频域资源中除了P个RE之外的RE不映射任何信号。
在一些可能的实现方式中,所述方法还包括:在所述第一时域符号内向所述第二设备发送所述第一参考信号的M个时域周期对应的M*L个采样点,所述第一参考信号的M个时域周期中每个时域周期对应L个采样点,所述第一参考信号的每个时域周期对应的L个采样点中的第i个采样点具有准共址关系,i的取值为1至L中的部分正整数,所述第一设备还用于向第三设备发送第一信号,所述第一信号的M个时域周期对应M*L个采样点,所述第一信号的M个时域周期中每个时域周期对应L个采样点,所述其他设备包括所述第三设备;
其中,所述第一参考信号的每个时域周期对应的L个采样点中的第i个采样点组成的序列与所述第一信号的每个时域周期对应的L个采样点中的第i个采样点组成的序列正交;
其中,M和L为正整数。
在上述方案中,第一时域符号内可以发送第一参考信号的M个时域周期对应的M*L个采样点。第一参考信号的每个时域周期对应的L个采样点中第i个采样点具有准共址关系,也就是说,每个时域周期对应的L个采样点中第i个采样点具有相同的空域滤波参数。换言之,第一参考信号的每个时域周期对应的L个采样点中的第i个采样点的收发波束相同。此外,第一参考信号的每个时域周期对应的L个采样点中的第i个采样点组成的序列与第一信号的每个时域周期对应的L个采样点中的第i个采样点组成的序列正交。如果只考察这些采样点,则第一设备向第二设备发送的第一参考信号与向第三设备发送的第一信号互不干扰,使得第二设备测量得到的第一参考信号的能量中不会有第一信号的能量,从而可以使得第二设备测量第一参考信号的能量比较准确,提高训练波束的准确性。
可选地,第一参考信号的每个时域周期对应的L个采样点中第i个采样点具有准共址关系,可以为:每个时域周期的L个采样点中一部分采样点具有一组准共址关系,每个时域周期的L个采样点中另一部分采样点具有一组准共址关系,每个时域周期的L个采样点中又一部分采样点具有一组准共址关系,依次类推,可以共有H组准共址关系,H为正整数。其中,每个时域周期对应的L个采样点中不具有准共址关系的采样点所对应时间可以理解为切换波束所需的时间,例如,在1至L中i没取的那些值对应的采样点的时间为切换波束所需的时间,例如,可以是第一设备切换发送波束所需的时间或者第二设备切换接收波束所需的时间。
可选地,第一设备在每个时域周期内切换发送波束发送采样点的行为都是相同的,换 句话说,第一设备发送第一参考信号时对波束的切换行为具有周期性。

在一些可能的实现方式中,第一参考信号的每个时域周期对应的L个采样点中第i个采样点和第j个采样点具有准共址关系,j的取值为1至L中的部分正整数,i和j不同。也就是说,具有准共址关系的多个采样点可以包括同一周期的采样点,还可以包括不同周期的采样点。在一些可能的实现方式中,所述配置信息包括L个比特。所述配置信息包括的L个比特与所述第一参考信号的每个时域周期对应的L个采样点一一对应。所述配置信息包括的L个比特中的Q个比特中每个比特的取值为第一取值,表示所述第二设备测量所述第一参考信号的每个时域周期中与所述Q个比特一一对应的Q个采样点;所述配置信息包括的L个比特中除了所述Q个比特之外的L-Q个比特中每个比特的取值为第二取值,表示所述第二设备不测量所述第一参考信号的每个时域周期中与所述L-Q个比特一一对应的L-Q个采样点。
其中,所述第二设备不测量所述第一参考信号的每个时域周期中与所述L-Q个比特一一对应的L-Q个采样点所对应时间可以理解为第一设备切换波束的时间。
在上述方案中,第一设备可以通过位图的方式向第二设备指示测量第一参考信号的每个时域周期中的哪些采样点,且第二设备针对每个时域周期中的测量行为都是一致的。
可选地,Q个比特中连续的几个比特中每个比特的取值为第一取值时,表示每个时域周期中这几个比特对应的采样点具有准共址关系。
在一些可能的实现方式中,所述方法还包括:从所述第二设备接收第一时域符号对应的第一测量信息,所述第一测量信息包括L个比特。所述第一测量信息包括的L个比特与所述第一参考信号的每个时域周期对应的L个采样点一一对应。所述第一测量信息包括的L个比特中的第一比特的取值为第三取值,表示所述第一参考信号的每个时域周期中与所述第一比特对应的采样点满足准共址关系的采样点的能量之和大于预设值;所述L个比特中的第二比特的取值为第四取值,表示所述第一参考信号的每个时域周期中与所述第二比特对应的采样点满足准共址关系的采样点的能量之和小于或等于预设值,或者表示所述第二设备没有测量所述第一参考信号的每个时域周期中与所述第二比特对应的采样点,不测量的上述采样点对应的时间为切换波束的时间,因此没有测量的必要。
可选地,配置信息中取值为第一取值的比特的数量Q大于或等于第一测量信息中取值为第三取值的比特的数量。
可选地,与第一比特对应的采样点满足一组准共址关系的采样点包括同一时域周期的采样点,还可以包括不同时域周期的采样点。第二设备需要测量满足一组准共址关系的所有采样点,来确定采样点的能量和,从而对波束进行测量。
可选地,一组准共址关系对应同一对收发波束。不同组准共址关系对应不同对的收发波束。
可选地,与第二比特对应的采样点满足一组准共址关系的采样点可以是同一时域周期 的采样点,还可以是不同时域周期的采样点,第二设备需要测量满足一组准共址关系的所有采样点,来确定采样点的能量和,从而对波束进行测量。

在一些可能的实现方式中,所述方法还包括:从所述第二设备接收所述第一时域符号对应的第三测量信息,所述第三测量信息包括第一参考信号的每个时域周期中满足准共址关系的采样点的能量之和。
可选地,若共有H组准共址关系,第三测量信息可以包括H组准共址关系的采样点得到的H个能量之和,即一组准共址关系对应一个能量之和。可选地,若共有H组准共址关系,第三测量信息可以包括F组准共址关系的采样点得到的F个能量之和。具体而言,一组准共址关系对应一个能量之和,F个能量之和为H个能量之和中大于预设值的能量之和,F为小于或等于H的正整数。换句话说,第二设备可以直接上报测量得到的每组准共址关系的采样点的能量之和,或者上报能量之和大于预设值的F组准共址关系的采样点的能量之和。
可选地,第三测量信息中F个比特位置与F组准共址关系的采样点得到的F个能量之和一一对应,第二设备测量F组准共址关系的采样点得到的F个能量之和后,在第三测量信息的F个比特位置上分别承载F个能量之和。F个比特位置与F组准共址关系一一对应。第一设备接收到第三测量信息之后,根据F个比特位置确定与F组准共址关系一一对应的F个能量之和,从而在F个能量之和中确定最大的能量之和,发送该组最大的能量之和对 应的采样点的波束即为第一目标波束。
可选地,第三测量信息中H个比特位置与H个能量之和一一对应,第三测量信息的H个比特位置上分别承载H个能量之和。H个比特位置与H组准共址关系一一对应。第一设备接收到第三测量信息之后,根据H个比特位置确定与H组准共址关系一一对应的H个能量之和,从而在H个能量之和中确定最大的能量之和,发送该组最大的能量之和对应的采样点的波束即为第一目标波束。

下面将本申请涉及到的术语进行详细的介绍:
1、波束(beam)
波束可以称为空域滤波器(spatial domain filter),或者称空间滤波器(spatial filter)或空间参数(spatial parameter)或者空域滤波参数。用于发送信号的波束可以称为发送波束(transmission beam,Tx beam),可以称为空域发送滤波器(spatial domain transmission filter)或空间发射参数(spatial transmission parameter);用于接收信号的波束可以称为接收波束(reception beam,Rx beam),可以称为空域接收滤波器(spatial domain receive filter)或空间接收参数(spatial RX parameter)。用于发送信号的波束和用于接收信号的波束可以为同一个波束也可以为不同的波束。
发送波束可以是指信号经天线发射出去后在空间不同方向上形成的信号强度的分布,接收波束可以是指从天线上接收到的无线信号在空间不同方向上的信号强度分布。
此外,波束可以是宽波束,或者窄波束,或者其他类型波束。形成波束的技术可以是波束赋形技术或者其他技术。波束赋形技术具体可以为数字波束赋形技术、模拟波束赋形技术或者混合数字/模拟波束赋形技术等。
可选地,将具有相同或者类似的通信特征的多个波束视为是一个波束。一个波束内可以包括一个或多个天线端口,用于传输数据信道、控制信道和参考信号(如S-SSB,CSI-RS,DMRS)等。形成一个波束的一个或多个天线端口也可以看作是一个天线端口集。
可选地,一个波束对应一个波束的索引,因此可以以波束的索引来唯一标识一个波束。
2、准共址(quasi-colocation)
采样点之间具有准共址关系表示采样点的空域滤波参数相同或者空域滤波器相同或者空间滤波器相同或者空间参数相同或者采样点的收发波束相同。例如,两个采样点具有准共址关系,表示两个采样点的空域滤波参数相同或者空域滤波器相同或者空间滤波器相同或者空间参数相同或者采样点的收发波束相同。
在通信的过程中,为了克服路损,两个设备可以通过定向波束传输信号。因此,在传输信号之前,需要先进行波束训练。传统的波束训练方法中,一个时域符号上只能训练一个波束。则当待训练的波束较多时,训练波束所占的时域资源会变多,导致训练波束的开销较大。为了解决训练波束开销较大这一问题,现有技术利用参考信号的梳状特性,在一个时域符号内训练多个波束,从而减少时域上的开销。然而,为了确保参考信号具备梳状特性,接收参考信号的设备在同一时域符号的其他资源单元(resource element,RE)上不应接收到除用于波束训练的参考信号外的其他信号。这要求该时域符号上除了发送参考信号的RE之外的其他RE上只能采用与待训练波束不相干的波束发送其他信号,或者在其他RE上不发送其他信号。否则接收参考信号的设备会受到其他信号的干扰,导致波束测量不准确。
具体而言,如图2所示,图2中的RE为一个时域符号对应的RE,假设网络设备在图2所示的RE上发送参考信号,终端设备在相应的RE上接收参考信号。其中,参考信号的梳状结构具体表现为:每M个RE中有一个RE用于发送参考信号,参考信号用于测量波束。为保持参考信号在频域的梳状结构,终端设备不应在该时域符号的其他RE上接收到信号,则网络设备需要在该时域符号的其他RE上采用与发送参考信号的波束不相关的波束发送信号,或者在其他RE上不发送信号,从而避免对波束测量造成干扰。将图2所示的参考信号变换到时域,如图3所示,变换之后的时域采样点在一个时域符号内具有时域周期性。因此,终端设备可以在多个时域周期内对不同的波束进行测量,从而实现时域符号内的波束训练。具体而言,图2所示频域上共有L*M个RE,经过傅里叶变换变换到时域上之后,共有M个时域周期,每个时域周期有L个采样点。如图4所示,网络设备可以在M个时域周期中的某一个时域周期内通过一个波束发送L个采样点,不同时域周期的波束不同,图4中不同的波束的填充图案不同,不同波束发送的采样点的填充图案不同,同一波束发送的采样点的填充图案相同,终端设备可以测量某个时域周期内的L个采样点的能量之和,从而实现对波束的测量。
然而,上述现有技术会限制资源调度的灵活性。具体而言,网络设备需要在该时域符号的其他RE上采用与发送参考信号的波束不相关的波束发送信号,或者在其他RE上不发送信号,从而避免对波束测量造成干扰。更进一步地,考虑没有网络设备调度的终端直连通信场景,由于该场景下没有中心调度节点,因此无法保证其他RE上采用的波束与发送参考信号的波束不相干,或者在其他RE上不发送信号,从而会对波束训练造成严重的干扰。为解决上述问题,本申请通过设计空白RE,构造局部正交性,消除其他RE上的干扰。我们将详细介绍本申请中的实施例如下。
在本申请实施例中,第一设备可以在第一时域符号对应的资源元素中的L个资源元素中的P个资源元素上映射将要发送给第二设备的第一参考信号。第一时域符号对应的L个资源元素中除了P个资源元素之外的L-P个资源元素不发送任何信号。其中,第一时域符号对应的L个资源元素中任意两个资源元素间隔M的整数倍个资源元素。L个资源元素横跨至少两个设备的频域资源,P个资源元素属于第二设备的频域资源,L-P个资源元素属于其他设备的频域资源。第二设备将测量第一参考信号在第一时域符号上的不同的采样点,实现对不同波束的测量,从而进行符号内波束训练,降低资源开销。此外,其他设备的频域资源中除了L-P个不发送任何信号的资源元素之外的资源元素均可以用于传输数据,且 对传输数据的波束没有限制条件。这样可以提高资源调度的灵活性。
下面结合图5描述本申请实施例中用于处理信号的方法500,上述的第一设备可以是方法500中的网络设备,第二设备可以是方法500中的第一终端设备,其他设备可以是方法500中的其他终端设备。如图5所示,方法500包括:
S510,网络设备确定L个资源元素(resource element,RE)中的P个RE。L个RE中任意两个RE间隔M的整数倍个RE,L个RE为第一时域符号对应的频域资源,L个RE横跨至少两个设备的频域资源。P个RE属于第一终端设备的频域资源。其中,M、L和P为正整数,L大于或等于P。
可选地,第一时域符号可以是第一OFDM符号。

可选地,L个RE横跨至少两个设备的频域资源可以理解为:L个RE属于至少两个设备的频域资源,或者L个RE位于至少两个设备的频带,或者至少两个设备的频域资源总和包括L个RE。应理解,网络设备在为各个终端设备分配资源的过程中,会为不同的终端设备分配一个带宽部分(bandwidth part,BWP)的不同频带,不同的终端设备的频域资源总和可以占满一个BWP。

可选地,一个频域栅格可以为一个资源块(resource block,RB)。
例如,L个RE中任意两个RE之间间隔M个RE,或者2M个RE,或者间隔3M个RE等。
可选地,M也可以称为第一梳齿值,第一梳齿值等于一个频域栅格中包括的RE的数量。L个RE中每个RE属于一个频域栅格,L个RE中每个RE在各自的频域栅格中的第一梳齿偏移值相同。例如,如图6所示,L个RE分别为RE 1、RE 2……RE L,L个RE中每个RE在各自的频域栅格中的梳齿偏移值为1。
S520,网络设备在P个RE上映射将要发送给第一终端设备的第一参考信号,其中,L个RE中除了P个RE之外的RE属于其他终端设备的频域资源,并且不发送任何信号。至少两个设备包括第一终端设备和其他终端设备。
可选地,L个RE中除了P个RE之外的RE不发送任何信号可以理解为:网络设备在L个RE中除了P个RE之外的RE不映射任何信号,或者,网络设备在L个RE中除了P个RE之外的RE映射信号,但是对L个RE中除了P个RE之外的RE进行打孔(punctuation)处理。可选地,L个RE中除了P个RE之外的RE也可以称为空白RE。
可选地,P个RE中任意两个RE间隔M的正整数倍个RE,例如,间隔M个RE,或者2M个RE,或者间隔3M个RE等。这样,网络设备映射的第一参考信号具有梳状结构,且L个RE中除了P个RE之外的RE不发送任何信号。可选地,第一终端设备的频域资 源中P个RE用于映射第一参考信号,第一终端设备的频域资源中除了P个RE之外的RE不映射任何信号。
例如,其他终端设备包括第二终端设备,如图6所示,网络设备确定第一时域符号内的L个RE为RE 1、RE 2、RE 3……RE L。其中,RE 1属于第一个频域栅格,RE 2属于第二个频域栅格,RE3属于第三个频域栅格,RE L属于第L个频域栅格,RE 1与RE 2之间间隔M个RE,RE 2与RE 3之间间隔M个RE,RE 1与RE 3之间间隔2M个RE,以此类推。其中,网络设备将第一个频域栅格和第L个频域栅格分配给第二终端设备,即第一个频域栅格和第L个频域栅格属于第二终端设备的频域资源或者位于第二终端设备的频带。网络设备将第二个频域栅格和第三个频域栅格分配给第一终端设备,即第二个频域栅格和第三个频域栅格属于第一终端设备的频域资源或者位于第一终端设备的频带,网络设备确定的第一终端设备的P个RE包括图6中的RE 2和RE 3,RE 2和RE 3用于映射将要发送给第一终端设备的第一参考信号,第一终端设备的第二个频域栅格和第三个频域栅格中除了RE 2和RE 3之外的RE不映射任何信号。RE 1和RE L用于不发送任何信号,网络设备可以利用第一个频域栅格中除了RE 1以外的RE,以及第L频域栅格中除了RE L之外的RE向第二终端设备发送第一信号,且对发送的波束没有限制条件,这样可以提高资源的利用率。
上述方法500中,提供的用于处理信号的方法,网络设备可以在P个RE上映射将要发送给第一终端设备的第一参考信号,在L个RE中除了P个RE之外的RE上不发送任何信号。这样,网络设备发送的第一参考信号具有梳状结构,第一终端设备可以测量第一参考信号在时域上的不同的采样点实现对不同的波束的测量,从而在一个时域符号内训练多个波束,降低资源开销。此外,网络设备可以利用第二终端设备的频域资源中除了L-P个RE之外的资源元素向第二终端设备发送第一信号,网络设备也无需采用与向第一终端设备发送第一参考信号的波束不相干的波束向第二终端设备发送第一信号。换句话说,网络设备在第二终端设备的频域资源中设置空白RE,并可以在第二终端设备的频域资源上除了空白RE之外的RE上使用与向第一终端设备发送第一参考信号的波束相干的波束或者不相干的波束发送第一信号,从而提高资源调度的灵活性。网络设备按照上述方法500在频域上映射将要向第一终端设备发送的第一参考信号之后,网络设备将在时域上发送第一参考信号对应的时域采样点,下面结合图7的方法700描述网络设备发送第一参考信号对应的采样点,第一终端设备测量第一参考信号对应的采样点的过程。如图7所示,方法700包括:
S710,网络设备在第一时域符号内向第一终端设备发送第一参考信号的M个时域周期对应的M*L个采样点,第一参考信号的M个时域周期中每个时域周期对应L个采样点,每个时域周期对应的L个采样点中第i个采样点具有准共址(quasi-colocation)关系,i的取值为1至L中的部分正整数。
可选地,方法700中的第一参考信号可以称为参考信号的时域采样点。
可选地,本申请实施例中的时域周期可以替换为采样周期。
可选地,第一终端设备不测量1至L中的i没有取的正整数对应的采样点,其中,第一终端设备不测量的这些采样点对应的时间为网络设备切换波束的时间。
其中,方法700中的M为方法500中的M,方法700中的L为方法500中的L。
可选地,第一参考信号的每个时域周期对应的L个采样点中第i个采样点具有准共址关系可以理解为:第一参考信号的每个时域周期对应的L个采样点中第i个采样点的空域滤波参数相同,或者第一参考信号的每个时域周期对应的L个采样点中第i个采样点的收发波束相同,或者第一参考信号的每个时域周期对应的L个采样点中第i个采样点经过了相同的传输信道。如图8所示,图8中共存在M个时域周期,每个时域周期有L个采样点,网络设备采用相同的波束发送每个时域周期中对应的采样点。例如,网络设备采用波束1发送每个时域周期中的第1个采样点和第2个采样点,网络设备采用波束2发送每个时域周期中的第5个采样点和第6个采样点,图8中i的取值可以为1,2,5,6。其中每个时域周期中的第3个采样点和第4个采样点对应的时间为网络设备从波束1切换到波束2所需的时间。
可选地,本申请实施例对网络设备的待训练的波束的数量不作任何限制,网络设备的待训练的波束的数量可以比L多或者比L少或者等于L。在网络设备的待训练的波束的数量比L少的情况下,网络设备可以采用一个波束发送多个采样点。例如,如图8所示,网络设备采用波束1发送每个时域周期中的第1个采样点和第2个采样点,网络设备采用波束2发送每个时域周期中的第5个采样点和第6个采样点。换言之,波束1发送了每个时域周期的两个采样点,共发送了2M个采样点;波束2发送了每个时域周期中的两个采样点,共发送了2M个采样点。在网络设备的待训练的波束的数量大于等于L的情况下,网络设备可以在第一时域符号内通过不多于L个波束发送M个时域周期对应的M*L个采样点之后,再在第二时域符号通过剩余的波束发送M个时域周期对应的M*L个采样点。
可选地,第一参考信号的每个时域周期对应的L个采样点中第i个采样点具有准共址关系,可以包括:第一参考信号的每个时域周期对应的L个采样点中第i个采样点和第j个采样点具有准共址关系,j的取值为1至L的正整数,对于一次取值i和j不同。也就是说,第一参考信号的每个时域周期内的采样点之间也具有准共址关系。具有准共址关系的多个采样点可以属于同一个时域周期,也可以属于不同的时域周期,也可以部分属于一个时域周期部分属于不同的时域周期。例如,如图8所示,i=1,j=2,表示每个时域周期对应的L个采样点中的第1个采样点和第2个采样点具有准共址关系,即M个时域周期中同一个时域周期的第1个采样点和第2个采样点具有一组准共址关系,M个时域周期中不同时域周期的第1个采样点和第2个采样点也具有该组准共址关系,这样共2M个采样点具有准共址关系。也就是说,2M个采样点的空域滤波参数相同或者这2M个采样点的收发波束相同或者这2M个采样点经过了相同的传输信道。i=5,j=6,第一参考信号的每个时域周期对应的L个采样点中的第5个采样点和第6个采样点具有另一组准共址关系,即共2M个采样点具有准共址关系,也就是说,这2M个采样点的空域滤波参数相同或者,2M个采样点的收发波束相同或者这2M个采样点经过了相同的传输信道。
可选地,方法700还包括:网络设备向第一终端设备发送第二指示信息,第二指示信息用于指示第一时域符号。可选地,第二指示信息可以直接指示第一时域符号。可选地,第二指示信息具体用于指示第一时域符号所在的帧的帧索引,第一时域符号所在的帧内时隙的时隙索引以及第一时域符号所在时隙内的符号索引。可选地,第二指示信息具体用于指示第一时域符号所在时隙相对于网络设备发送第二指示信息的时隙的时隙偏移以及第一时域符号所在的时隙的符号索引。可选地,网络设备在第一时域符号之前向第一终端设 备发送第二指示信息。
可选地,第二指示信息可以通过指示第一参考信号的资源索引来指示第一时域符号。本申请实施例对指示第一时域符号的方式不作任何限定。
可选地,网络设备可以配置训练发送波束的时域资源和第一终端设备接收波束的时域资源,若第二指示信息指示的第一时域符号为配置训练发送波束的时域资源,则第一终端设备确定网络设备需要训练发送波束。若第二指示信息指示的第一时域符号为配置训练接收波束的时域资源,则第一终端设备确定网络设备需要训练第一终端设备的接收波束。
可选地,网络设备可以通过下行控制信息(downlink control information,DCI)或者媒体接入控制(medium access control,MAC)控制元素(control element,CE)或者无线资源控制(Radio Resource Control,RRC)信令向第一终端设备发送第二指示信息。
可选地,方法700还包括:网络设备向第一终端设备发送配置信息,配置信息用于指示第一终端设备测量第一参考信号的每个时域周期对应的L个采样点中的Q个采样点,Q为小于或等于L的正整数。应理解,此时为网络设备切换发送波束发送第一参考信号对应的采样点,第一终端设备采用固定波束接收采样点的情况。因此,网络设备将向第一终端设备发送配置信息,第一终端设备基于配置信息测量采样点的能量,从而实现对波束的测量。此外,第一终端设备也将测量信息上报给网络设备,网络设备可以根据测量信息在发送波束中确定第一目标波束。下面具体描述配置信息和测量信息。可选地,网络设备可以通过DCI或者MAC CE或者RRC信令向第一终端设备发送配置信息。
可以理解的是,网络设备发送第一参考信号对应的采样点的行为具有周期性,即在每个时域周期中网络设备发送第一参考信号对应的采样点的行为都相同。例如,图8中网络设备采用波束1发送每个时域周期中的第1个采样点和第2个采样点,网络设备采用波束2发送每个时域周期中的第5个采样点和第6个采样点。
下面分两种情况描述配置信息。
情况一,配置信息包括L个比特,配置信息包括的L个比特与第一参考信号的每个时域周期对应的L个采样点一一对应。L个比特中的Q个比特中每个比特的取值为第一取值,表示第一终端设备测量第一参考信号的每个时域周期中与Q个比特一一对应的Q个采样点;L个比特中除了Q个比特之外的L-Q个比特中每个比特的取值为第二取值,表示第一终端设备不测量第一参考信号每个时域周期中与L-Q个比特一一对应的L-Q个采样点。第一终端设备可以测量每个时域周期中与Q个比特一一对应的Q个采样点,不测量每个时域周期中与L-Q个采样点一一对应的L-Q个采样点。可选地,Q个比特中几个连续的比特的取值为第一取值,表示每个时域周期的这几个比特对应的采样点具有准共址关系。例如,第一取值为1,第二取值为0,L个比特中共有Q个比特的取值为1,剩余L-Q个比特的取值为0,且Q个比特中连续几个比特的取值为1表示每个时域周期中的这几个比特对应的采样点具有准共址关系。如图8所示,配置信息包括的L个比特为11001100,此时L为8,第一终端设备测量M个时域周期中每个时域周期中的第1个采样点、第2个采样点、第5个采样点和第6个采样点,不测量每个时域周期中的第3个采样点、第4个采样点、第7个采样点和第8个采样点。每个时域周期中的第1个采样点和第2个采样点具有一组准共址关系,每个时域周期中的第5个采样点和第6个采样点具有另一组准共址关系,每个时域周期中的第3个采样点、第4个采样点、第7个采样点和第8个采样点对应的时间为网 络设备切换波束所需的时间。
也就是说,情况一中,网络设备可以通过位图(bitmap)的方式向第一终端设备指示测量第一参考信号的每个时域周期中的哪些采样点不测量哪些采样点,且第一终端设备针对每个时域周期中的测量行为都是一致的。
可选地,在情况一中,网络设备可以从第一终端设备接收第一测量信息。第一测量信息包括L个比特,第一测量信息包括的L个比特与第一参考信号的每个时域周期对应的L个采样点一一对应。L个比特中的第一比特的取值为第三取值,表示所述第一参考信号的每个时域周期中与第一比特对应的采样点满足准共址关系的采样点的能量之和大于预设值;L个比特中的第二比特的取值为第四取值,表示第一参考信号的每个时域周期中与第二比特对应的采样点满足准共址关系的采样点的能量之和小于或等于预设值,或者表示第一终端设备没有测量第一参考信号的每个时域周期中与第二比特对应的采样点。
可选地,第一测量信息可以为第一终端设备在第一时域符号内测量得到的信息,因此网络设备可以从第一终端设备接收指示第一时域符号的指示信息以及第一测量信息。这样,网络设备可以根据指示信息确定第一测量信息为第一时域符号内的测量信息。可选地,指示信息可以直接指示第一时域符号,或者可以通过指示第一参考信号的资源索引指示第一时域符号。
需要说明的是,配置信息中取值为第一取值的数量Q大于或等于第一测量信息中取值为第三取值的比特的数量。也就是说,网络设备配置第一终端设备测量采样点的数量大于或等于第一终端设备上报的采样点的数量,例如,Q为4,第一测量信息中取值为第三取值的比特数量为2。如图8所示,配置信息包括的L个比特为11001100,表示第一终端设备需要测量每个时域周期中的4个采样点,分别为第1个采样点、第2个采样点、第5个采样点和第6个采样点。第一终端设备根据每个时域周期中的第1采样点和第2个采样点的能量之和确定波束1的能量,根据每个时域周期中第5个采样点的能量和第6个采样点的能量之和确定波束2的能量。第一终端设备确定波束1的能量大于预设值,因此,第一终端设备可以上报的第一测量信息包括的L个比特可以为11000000,网络设备可以根据11000000确定第一目标波束为波束1。
可选地,预设值可以为预配置的值或者是网络设备配置给第一终端设备的值。
可选地,网络设备确定的配置信息与网络设备使用的波束相关。具体地,若网络设备使用一个波束发送了第一参考信号的每个时域周期中的多个采样点,则配置信息中该多个采样点对应的比特的取值相同,都为第一取值。此时,第一终端设备需测量每个周期的该多个采样点,才能实现对相应波束的测量。若网络设备使用一个波束发送了第一参考信号的每个时域周期中的一个采样点,则配置信息中该采样点对应的比特的取值为第一取值。举例来说,如图8所示,网络设备使用波束1发送第一参考信号的每个时域周期中的采样点1和采样点2,使用波束2发送第一参考信号的每个时域周期中的采样点5和采样点6,则配置信息中的L个比特的取值为11001100。
可选地,第三取值与第四取值不同,第一取值与第二取值不同,但是第三取值可以与第一取值相同或者不同,或者第四取值可以与第二取值相同或者不同。例如,第三取值为1,第四取值为0。
可选地,网络设备接收到第一测量信息之后,可以根据第一测量信息确定第一目标波 束,网络设备可以采用第一目标波束向第一终端设备发送数据。
可选地,网络设备根据第一测量信息确定第一目标波束,包括:网络设备将第一测量信息中取值为第三取值的第一比特的采样点对应的波束确定为候选波束,并在候选波束中确定第一目标波束。可选地,网络设备在候选波束中确定第一目标波束,包括:网络设备将候选波束中的任意一个波束确定为第一目标波束。例如,结合图8的例子,第一终端设备上报的第一测量信息包括的L个比特可以为11001100,则网络设备将发送第一参考信号的每个时域周期中的第1个采样点和第2个采样点的波束1以及发送第一参考信号的每个时域周期中的第5个采样点和第6个采样点的波束2确定为候选波束。网络设备可以将这两个波束中的任意一个波束作为第一目标波束。又例如,结合图8中的例子,配置信息包括的L个比特为1100110000,第一测量信息包括的L个比特为1100000000,则网络设备将发送第1个采样点和第2个采样点的波束1确定为第一目标波束。
可选地,满足准共址关系的采样点可以是同一时域周期的采样点,还可以是不同时域周期的采样点,第一终端设备需要测量所有满足准共址关系的采样点,来确定采样点的能量之和,从而测量波束的质量。例如,如图8所示,第一参考信号的每个时域周期的第1个采样点和第2个采样点具有准共址关系,第一终端设备需要测量每个时域周期中的第1个采样点和第2个采样点,计算这2M个采样点的能量和。若这2M个采样点的能量之和大于预设值,则第一测量信息中与第1个采样点对应的第1个比特的取值为第三取值,与第2个采样点对应的第2个比特的取值为第三取值,例如第一测量信息包括的L个比特为11000000。
可选地,在情况一中,网络设备可以从第一终端设备接收第三测量信息,第三测量信息包括第一参考信号的每个时域周期满足准共址关系的采样点的能量之和。网络设备根据第三测量信息包括的第一参考信号的每个时域周期满足准共址关系的采样点的能量之和确定第一目标波束。可选地,若共有H组准共址关系,第三测量信息可以包括根据H组准共址关系的采样点得到的H个能量之和。其中,一组准共址关系对应一个能量之和。这样,网络设备可以在H个能量之和中确定最大的能量之和,该最大的能量之和对应了一组目标准共址关系,发送具有该组目标准共址关系的采样点的波束为第一目标波束。例如,配置信息包括的L个比特为11001100,第一终端设备确定共有两组准共址关系,分别为每个时域周期的第1个采样点和第2个采样点对应的第一组准共址关系,以及每个时域周期的第5个采样点和第6个采样点对应第二组准共址关系。第一终端设备测量每个时域周期的第1个采样点和第2个采样点的能量得到第一组准共址关系对应的能量之和A1,第一终端设备测量每个时域周期的第5个采样点和第6个采样点得到第二组准共址关系对应的能量之和A2。第一终端设备可以上报A1和A2。若A1大于A2,则网络设备确定发送每个时域周期的采样点1和采样点2的波束1为第一目标波束,若A1小于A2,则网络设备确定发送每个时域周期的采样点5和采样点6的波束2为第一目标波束。可选地,若共有H组准共址关系,第三测量信号可以包括F组准共址关系的采样点得到的F个能量之和,且有F小于等于H。其中,一组准共址关系对应一个能量之和,F个能量之和为H个能量之和中大于预设值的能量之和,F为小于或等于H的正整数。换句话说,第二设备可以直接上报测量得到的每组准共址关系的采样点的能量之和或者上报能量之和大于预设值的F组准共址关系的采样点的能量之和。可选地,本申请实施例中的采样点的能量之和可以为采样点 的归一化能量之和。
可选地,第三测量信息中F个比特位置与F组准共址关系的采样点得到的F个能量之和一一对应,第一终端设备测量F组准共址关系的采样点得到的F个能量之和后,在第三测量信息的F个比特位置上分别承载F个能量之和。F个比特位置与F组准共址关系一一对应。网络设备接收到第三测量信息之后,根据F个比特位置确定与F组准共址关系一一对应的F个能量之和,从而在F个能量之和中确定最大的能量之和,发送该组最大的能量之和对应的采样点的波束即为第一目标波束。
可选地,第三测量信息中H个比特位置与H个能量之和一一对应,第三测量信息的H个比特位置上分别承载H个能量之和。H个比特位置与H组准共址关系一一对应。网络设备接收到第三测量信息之后,根据H个比特位置确定与H组准共址关系一一对应的H个能量之和,从而在H个能量之和中确定最大的能量之和,发送该组最大的能量之和对应的采样点的波束即为第一目标波束。
可选地,第三测量信息可以为第一终端设备在第一时域符号内测量得到的信息,因此网络设备可以从第一终端设备接收指示第一时域符号的指示信息以及第三测量信息。这样,网络设备可以根据指示信息确定第三测量信息为第一时域符号内的测量信息。可选地,指示信息可以直接指示第一时域符号,或者可以通过指示第一参考信号的资源索引指示第一时域符号。
情况二,配置信息包括Q个索引,Q个索引与Q个采样点一一对应。第一终端设备根据Q个索引确定Q个采样点,并测量第一参考信号的每个时域周期中的Q个采样点。例如,若网络设备配置第一终端设备测量图8中的每个时域周期中的第1个采样点、第2个采样点、第5个采样点和第6个采样点,则配置信息包括4个索引,分别是0,1,4,5。其中,0为第1个采样点的索引,1为第2个采样点的索引,4为第5个采样点的索引,5为第6个采样点的索引。可选地,连续的索引可以表示这些索引对应的采样点是通过一个波束发送的,即这些索引对应的采样点具备准共址关系。例如,配置信息包括0,1,4,5,表示网络设备通过一个波束发送了每个时域周期中的第1个采样点和第2个采样点,通过另一个波束发送了每个时域周期中的第5个采样点和第6个采样点。
可选地,Q个索引可以是1到L之间的编号,或者也可以是0到L-1之间编号,或者也可以是其他的编号,本申请实施例对此不作限制。
可选地,在情况二中,第一终端设备向网络设备发送第二测量信息,第二测量信息指示目标索引,Q个索引包括目标索引,第一参考信号的每个时域周期中与目标索引对应的采样点满足准共址关系的采样点的能量之和大于预设值。目标索引可以包括一个或多个。可选地,第二测量信息可以直接指示目标索引也可以间接指示目标索引,例如第二测量信息可以指示目标索引的区间段。例如,配置信息包括Q个索引为0,1,2,由于0,1,2分别为每个时域周期中连续的第1个采样点,第2个采样点和第3个采样点的索引,因此,每个时域周期中的第1个采样点,第2个采样点和第3个采样点具有准共址关系,第一终端设备确定第一参考信号的每个时域周期中的第1个采样点、第2个采样点和第3个采样点的能量之和大于预设值,则第二测量信息可以为0,2,0,2表示每个时域周期中索引为0的采样点至索引为2的采样点的能量之和大于预设值,如第1个采样点、第2个采样点和第3个采样点的能量之和大于预设值。
可选地,预设值可以为预配置或者是网络设备配置给第一终端设备的值。情况一与情况二中的预设值可以相同或者不同,本申请实施例对此不作限制。
可选地,第二测量信息可以为第一终端设备在第一时域符号内测量得到的信息,因此网络设备可以从第一终端设备接收指示第一时域符号的指示信息以及第二测量信息。这样,网络设备可以根据指示信息确定第二测量信息为第一时域符号内的测量信息。可选地,指示信息可以直接指示第一时域符号,或者可以通过指示第一参考信号的资源索引指示第一时域符号。
可选地,网络设备确定的配置信息包括的Q个索引与网络设备使用的波束相关。具体地,若网络设备使用一个波束发送了第一参考信号的每个时域周期中的多个采样点,则配置信息包括该多个采样点的索引。换句话说,网络设备使用一个波束发送多个采样点,则第一终端设备需测量该多个采样点,才能实现对该发送波束的测量;若网络设备使用一个波束发送了第一参考信号的每个时域周期中的一个采样点,则配置信息中的Q个索引可以依据网络设备的实现确定。
可选地,在网络设备需要向第一终端设备发送第二指示信息和配置信息的情况下,网络设备可以向第一终端设备同时发送第二指示信息和配置信息,也可以分别向第一终端设备发送第二指示信息和配置信息,本申请实施例对发送第二指示信息和配置信息的顺序没有任何限制。可以理解的是,网络设备可以在第一时域符号之前向第一终端设备发送第二指示信息和配置信息。
可选地,在情况二中,网络设备可以从第一终端设备接收第三测量信息,第三测量信息包括满足准共址关系的采样点的能量之和。网络设备根据第三测量信息包括的满足准共址关系的采样点的能量之和确定第一目标波束。可选地,若共有H组准共址关系,第三测量信息可以包括H组准共址关系的采样点得到的H个能量之和,其中一组准共址关系对应一个能量之和。这样,网络设备可以在H个能量之和中确定最大的能量之和,最大的能量之和对应一组目标准共址关系,发送具有该组目标准共址关系的采样点的波束为第一目标波束。例如,配置信息包括的4个索引分别为0,1,4,5,由于索引0,1为连续的两个索引,4,5为连续的两个索引,第一终端设备确定共有两组准共址关系,分别为每个时域周期的第1个采样点和第2个采样点对应第一组准共址关系,每个时域周期的第5个采样点和第6个采样点对应第二组准共址关系。第一终端设备测量每个时域周期的第1个采样点和第2个采样点的能量得到第一组准共址关系对应的能量之和A1,第一终端设备测量每个时域周期的第5个采样点和第6个采样点得到第二组准共址关系对应的能量之和A2。第一终端设备可以上报A1和A2,若A1大于A2,则网络设备确定发送每个时域周期的采样点1和采样点2的波束1为第一目标波束;若A1小于A2,则网络设备确定发送每个时域周期的采样点5和采样点6的波束2为第一目标波束。可选地,若共有H组准共址关系,第三测量信息可以包括F组准共址关系的采样点得到的F个能量之和。其中一组准共址关系对应一个能量之和,F个能量之和为H个能量之和中大于预设值的能量之和,F为小于或等于H的正整数。换句话说,第二设备可以直接上报测量得到的每组准共址关系的采样点的能量之和或者上报能量之和大于预设值的F组准共址关系的采样点的能量之和。
可选地,第三测量信息中F个比特位置与F组准共址关系的采样点得到的F个能量之和一一对应,第一终端设备测量F组准共址关系的采样点得到的F个能量之和后,在第三 测量信息的F个比特位置上分别承载F个能量之和。F个比特位置与F组准共址关系一一对应。网络设备接收到第三测量信息之后,根据F个比特位置确定与F组准共址关系一一对应的F个能量之和,从而在F个能量之和中确定最大的能量之和,发送该组最大的能量之和对应的采样点的波束即为第一目标波束。
可选地,第三测量信息中H个比特位置与H个能量之和一一对应,第三测量信息的H个比特位置上分别承载H个能量之和。H个比特位置与H组准共址关系一一对应。网络设备接收到第三测量信息之后,根据H个比特位置确定与H组准共址关系一一对应的H个能量之和,从而在H个能量之和中确定最大的能量之和,发送该组最大的能量之和对应的采样点的波束即为第一目标波束。
可选地,第三测量信息可以为第一终端设备在第一时域符号内测量得到的信息,因此网络设备可以从第一终端设备接收指示第一时域符号的指示信息以及第三测量信息。这样,网络设备可以根据指示信息确定第三测量信息为第一时域符号内的测量信息。可选地,指示信息可以直接指示第一时域符号,或者可以通过指示第一参考信号的资源索引指示第一时域符号。
S720,网络设备在第一时域符号上向第二终端设备发送第一信号,第一信号的M个时域周期对应M*L个采样点,第一信号的M个时域周期中每个时域周期对应L个采样点。
其中,第一参考信号的每个时域周期对应的L个采样点中的第i个采样点组成的序列与第一信号的每个时域周期对应的L个采样点中的第i个采样点组成的序列正交。换言之,第一参考信号的每个时域周期对应的L个采样点中的第i个采样点组成的序列的长度与第一信号的每个时域周期对应的L个采样点中的第i个采样点组成的序列长度相等,且第一参考信号的每个时域周期对应的L个采样点中的第i个采样点组成的序列与第一信号的每个时域周期对应的L个采样点中的第i个采样点组成的序列内积为零。
在方法700中,第一参考信号的每个时域周期对应的L个采样点中的第i个采样点组成的序列与第一信号的每个时域周期对应的L个采样点中的第i个采样点组成的序列正交。这样,在上述采样点上,网络设备向第一终端设备发送的第一参考信号与向第二终端设备发送的第一信号互不干扰,从而可以使得第一终端设备测量得到的第一参考信号的能量中不会有第一信号的能量,使第一终端设备测量第一参考信号的能量比较准确,从而可以提高训练波束的准确性。
可选地,第一参考信号的每个时域周期对应的L个采样点中的第i个采样点和第j个采样点组成的序列与第一信号的每个时域周期对应的L个采样点中的第i个采样点和第j个采样点组成的序列正交。例如i=1,j=2,表示第一参考信号的每个时域周期对应的L个采样点中的第1个采样点和第2个采样点组成长度为2M的序列与第一信号的每个时域周期对应的L个采样点中的第1个采样点和第2个采样点组成长度为2M的序列正交。换言之,第一参考信号的采样点组成的序列与第一信号相对应的采样点组成的序列正交,互相正交的两个序列可以是每个时域周期中的一个采样点组成的序列也可以是每个时域周期中两个及以上的采样点组成的序列。互相正交的两个序列的长度相同,且组成每个序列的采样点为每个时域周期中相同位置的采样点。可选地,第一参考信号的每个时域周期对应的L个采样点中第i个采样点和第j个采样点具有准共址关系的情况下,第一参考信号的每个时域周期对应的L个采样点中的第i个采样点和第j个采样点组成的序列与第一信号 的每个时域周期对应的L个采样点中的第i个采样点和第j个采样点组成的序列正交。
在方法500与方法700可以结合的情况下,L个RE横跨至少两个终端设备的频带。方法500中L个RE中P个RE用于映射S710中发送给第一终端设备的第一参考信号,P个RE位于第一终端设备的频带。方法500的L个RE中除了P个RE之外的RE位于其他终端设备的频带,且不发送任何信号。其他终端设备包括第二终端设备。网络设备可以在其他终端设备的频带中除了L-P个RE之外的RE映射第一信号,其中,L-P个RE为L个RE中除了P个RE之外的RE。通过这种设计,可以使得第一参考信号在时域上的每个时域周期对应的L个采样点中的第i个采样点组成的序列与第一信号的每个时域周期对应的L个采样点中的第i个采样点组成的序列正交。

可选地,在方法500可以与方法700结合的情况下,方法700还可以包括:网络设备向第二终端设备发送第四指示信息,第二终端设备接收第四指示信息,第四指示信息用于指示L个RE对应的频域的第一梳齿值M和第一梳齿偏移值。第一梳齿偏移值的取值范围为0至M-1。可选地,网络设备可以通过DCI或者MAC CE或者RRC信令向第二终端设备发送第四指示信息。第二终端设备根据第四指示信息指示的第一梳齿值M和第一梳齿偏移值确定L个RE的频域位置,并在L个RE中将属于第二终端设备的频带的L-P个RE设为空白RE,根据空白RE解调第一信号。换言之,第二终端设备需要确定哪些RE是空白RE,并在解调第一信号的时候,根据空白RE解调第一信号。
可以理解的是,网络设备向第二终端设备发送第一信号和第四指示信息的顺序没有任何限制,网络设备可以同时向第二终端设备发送第一信号和第四指示信息,也可以按照先 后顺序发送第一信号和第四指示信息。
可选地,在网络设备向第二终端设备发送第三指示信息和第四指示信息的情况下,第二终端设备根据第三指示信息和第四指示信息确定L个RE中除了P个RE之外的RE,并根据确定的RE解调第一信号。可选地,第二终端设备根据第三指示信息和第四指示信息确定L个RE中除了P个RE之外的RE,包括:第二终端设备根据第三指示信息确定第一时域符号,第二终端设备根据第四指示信息在第二终端设备的频带中确定第一时域符号内位于第二终端设备频带上的L个RE中除了P个RE之外的RE,并将这些RE设为空白RE。若网络设备向第二终端设备发送第四指示信息和第一信号,则发送第四指示信息和第一信号的顺序也没有任何限制。
可选地,在方法500可以与方法700结合的情况下,方法700还包括:网络设备向第二终端设备发送第五指示信息,第五指示信息用于指示L个RE中除了P个RE之外的RE上不映射信号或者在L个RE中除了P个RE之外的RE上进行打孔。第二终端设备可以根据第五指示信息解调第一信号,可选地,网络设备可以通过DCI或者MAC CE或者RRC信令向第二终端设备发送第五指示信息。换句话说,网络设备需要向第二终端设备指示L个RE中除了P个RE之外的RE上不发送信号的实现方式,这样第二终端设备可以根据L个RE中除了P个RE之外的RE上不发送信号的实现方式解调来自网络设备的第一信号。可选地,在网络设备向第二终端设备发送第三指示信息和第五指示信息的情况下,第二终端设备根据第三指示信息和第五指示信息解调第一信号。可选地,第二终端设备根据第三指示信息和第五指示信息解调第一信号,包括:第二终端设备根据第三指示信息确定第一时域符号,根据第五指示信息确定第一时域符号上不发送信号的RE的实现方式,从而解调第一时域符号内的第一信号。可选地,在网络设备向第二终端设备发送第四指示信息和第五指示信息的情况下,第二终端设备根据第四指示信息和第五指示信息解调第一信号。可选地,第二终端设备根据第四指示信息和第五指示信息解调第一信号,包括:第二终端设备可以根据第四指示信息在指示的第一梳齿值M和第一梳齿偏移值在L个RE中确定属于第二终端设备的频带的L-P个资源元素,并根据第五指示信息确定L-P个RE上不发送信号的实现方式,从而解调发送给第二终端设备的第一信号。可选地,在网络设备向第二终端设备发送第三指示信息、第四指示信息和第五指示信息的情况下,第二终端设备根据第三指示信息、第四指示信息和第五指示信息解调第一信号。可选地,第二终端设备根据第三指示信息、第四指示信息和第五指示信息解调第一信号,包括:第二终端设备根据第三指示信息确定第一时域符号,根据第四指示信息和第二终端设备的频带确定第一时域符号内的L个RE中除了P个RE之外的L-P个RE,根据第五指示信息确定L个RE中除了P个RE之外的L-P个RE上不发送信号的实现方式,从而解调第一信号。
可以理解的是,网络设备向第二终端设备发送第一信号和第五指示信息的顺序没有任何限制,网络设备可以同时向第二终端设备发送第一信号和第五指示信息,也可以按照先后顺序发送第一信号和第五指示信息。若网络设备向第二终端设备发送第四指示信息和第五指示信息,则发送第四指示信息和第五指示信息的顺序也没有任何限制。若网络设备向第二终端设备发送第四指示信息和第五指示信息,网络设备可以向第二终端设备发送第一消息,第一消息的第一信息位用于承载第四指示信息,第一消息的第二信息位用于承载第五指示信息。
可选地,在S710之前,方法700还包括:网络设备向第一终端设备发送第一指示信息,第一指示信息用于指示发送第一参考信号的M个时域周期中每个时域周期对应的L个采样点中的第i个采样点具有准共址关系。这样,第一终端设备可以根据第一指示信息执行方法900。例如,本申请实施例中的图8波束发送采样点的方式可以称之为“交织的符号内波束训练”的方式,图4所示的发送采样点的方式可以称之为“周期的符号内波束训练”的方式,图4中同一时域周期内的采样点具有准共址关系,网络设备采用同一波束发送同一时域周期的不同采样点。这样,第一终端设备需要测量一个时域周期内采样点的能量之和,即可确定一个波束的质量。图8中的交织的符号内波束训练,第一终端设备需要测量每个时域周期中具有准共址关系的采样点的能量之和,从而确定发送具有准共址关系的采样点的波束的质量。如第一指示信息对应的比特取值为1,表示波束发送采样点的方式为“交织的符号内波束训练”的方式,因此,第一终端设备根据方法900测量波束的能量,若第一指示信息对应的比特的取值为0,表示波束发送采样点的方式为“周期的符号内波束训练”的方式,第一终端设备根据图4所示的方法发送采样点的方式测量一个时域周期内采样点的能量之和,即可确定一个波束的质量。
可选地,网络设备可以根据当前的发送行为确定第一指示信息。例如,网络设备确定在第一时域符号内向第一终端设备发送第一参考信号的行为与网络设备向其他终端设备发送第一信号的行为时分的情况下,或者网络设备向第二终端设备发送第一信号的波束与网络设备向第一终端设备发送第一参考信号的波束不相关的情况下,网络设备确定的第一指示信息可以指示“周期的符号内波束训练”,否则第一指示信息指示“交织的符号内波束训练”。其他终端设备包括第二终端设备。
可选地,网络设备可以通过DCI或者MAC CE或者无线资源控制RRC信令向第一终端设备发送第一指示信息。
可选地,在网络设备需要向第一终端设备发送第一指示信息、第二指示信息和配置信息的情况下,网络设备可以向第一终端设备同时发送第一指示信息、第二指示信息和配置信息,也可以分别向第一终端设备发送第一指示信息、第二指示信息和配置信息,本申请实施例对发送第一指示信息、第二指示信息和配置信息的顺序没有任何限制。若网络设备向第一终端设备同时发送第一指示信息、第二指示信息和配置信息,则网络设备可以在第一时域符号之前向第一终端设备发送第一指示信息、第二指示信息和配置信息。
需要理解的是,方法700也可以不存在S720,即网络设备不向第二终端设备发送第一信号,默认没有发送第一信号。
需要说明的是,本申请实施例中以其他终端设备是第二终端设备为例,网络设备向第二终端设备发送第一信号。对于网络设备向除了第二终端设备之外的终端设备发送其他信号的行为可以参见网络设备向第二终端设备发送第一信号的行为。
也需要说明的是,方法700可以是不依赖于方法500的独立的实施例,此时方法700是网络设备向第一终端设备和第二终端设备发送时域采样点的实施例。方法700也可以是依赖于方法500的实施例,本申请实施例对此不作限定。
上述方法700描述网络设备分别向第一终端设备发送第一参考信号和向第二终端设备发送第一信号,对于第一终端设备而言可能会接收到第一参考信号和第一信号混合的第二信号。下面结合方法900描述第一终端设备处理信号的过程,如图9所示,方法900包括:
S910,第一终端设备在第一时域符号上接收来自第一设备的第二信号的M个时域周期对应的M*L个采样点,第二信号的M个时域周期中每个时域周期对应L个采样点。
可选地,第二信号包括网络设备发送给第一终端设备的第一参考信号和网络设备发送给第二终端设备的第一信号。换言之,第一终端设备不仅可以接收到网络设备发送给第一终端设备的第一参考信号,也能接收到网络设备发送给第二终端设备的第一信号。从第一终端设备的角度而言,称为第一终端设备在第一时域符号上接收到第二信号。在进行接收处理之前,第一终端设备无法分别感知第二信号中的第一信号和第一参考信号。
可选地,S910,包括:终端设备采用固定的波束在第一时域符号内从网络设备接收第二信号的M个时域周期对应的M*L个采样点。换言之,在测量网络设备的发送波束的过程中,终端设备采用固定的波束接收采样点,这样可以使得测量的网络设备的发送波束更准确。
可选地,在S910之前,第一终端设备从网络设备接收第二指示信息,第二指示信息用于指示第一时域符号。第一终端设备可以根据第二指示信息确定进行符号内波束训练的第一时域符号。可选地,第二指示信息可以直接指示第一时域符号。可选地,第二指示信息具体用于指示第一时域符号所在的帧的帧索引,第一时域符号所在的帧内的时隙的时隙索引以及第一时域符号所在的时隙内的符号索引。可选地,第二指示信息具体用于指示第一时域符号所在时隙相对于网络设备发送第二指示信息的时隙的时隙偏移以及第一时域符号所在的时隙内的符号索引。可选地,第一终端设备可以通过DCI或者MAC CE或者RRC信令接收第二指示信息。
可选地,第二指示信息可以通过指示第一参考信号的资源索引来指示第一时域符号。本申请实施例对指示第一时域符号的方式不作任何限定。
可选地,网络设备可以配置训练发送波束的时域资源和训练第一终端设备接收波束的时域资源。若第二指示信息指示的第一时域符号为训练发送波束的时域资源,则第一终端设备确定网络设备需要训练发送波束。此时,第一终端设备可以执行S920。
S920,第一终端设备根据第一序列与第二序列的内积,确定第二信号中的第一参考信号的能量。其中,第一序列包括第二信号的每个时域周期对应的L个采样点中的第i个采样点组成的序列,第二序列包括第一终端设备本地的第一参考信号的每个时域周期中L个采样点中第i个采样点组成的序列,i的取值为1至L中的部分正整数。
可选地,第二序列与第三序列正交,第三序列包括第二信号中的第一信号的每个时域周期对应的L个采样点中的第i个采样点组成的序列。由于第二序列与第三序列正交,因此,第一终端设备确定的第一序列与第二序列内积,能够去除第二信号中第一信号对发送给第一终端设备的第一参考信号的干扰。这样,第一终端设备就可以通过测量第二信号中的第一参考信号从而实现对网络设备发送的波束进行测量。
可选地,第二信号的每个时域周期对应的L个采样点中第i个采样点是网络设备配置的第一终端设备待测量的采样点。换句话说,即使第二信号的每个时域周期包括L个采样点,网络设备可以配置第一终端设备测量每个时域周期对应的L个采样点中的部分采样点。例如,第一终端设备可以接收来自网络设备的配置信息,配置信息用于指示第一终端设备测量第一参考信号的每个时域周期对应的L个采样点中的Q个采样点,Q为小于或等于L的正整数。可选地,第一终端设备可以通过DCI或者MAC CE或者RRC信令接收配置信 息。与方法700中的网络设备发送配置信息的方式类似,第一终端设备可以根据配置信息进行测量。可选地,第一终端设备可以根据配置信息确定共存在几组准共址关系,第一终端设备针对每组准共址关系生成不同的本地第一参考信号的第二序列,并根据每组准共址关系对应的采样点组成的第一序列与本地生成的第一参考信号的第二序列确定每组准共址关系对应的采样点的能量之和,并上报测量信息。下面也分两种情况讨论第一终端设备根据方法700中的网络设备发送的配置信息测量采样点的方式。
需要说明的是,配置信息配置第一终端设备测量第一参考信号,但是对于第一终端设备而言接收到的是第二信号。第一终端设备根据配置信息测量第一参考信号,实际是根据配置信息测量接收到的第二信号。因此,也可以理解为第一终端设备根据配置信息测量第二信号的每个时域周期对应的L个采样点中的Q个采样点,Q个采样点包括S920中的第i采样点。下面描述第一终端设备测量第二信号。
情况一,与方法700的情况一对应,配置信息包括L个比特。方法900中的情况一的配置信息与方法700中的情况一的配置信息相同,为了避免赘述不详细描述。
在情况一中,第一终端设备接收到配置信息之后,确定配置信息共配置了几组准共址关系的采样点,并根据配置信息生成每组准共址关系对应的本地的第一参考信号对应的若干条第二序列。此外,第一终端设备还将确定第二信号的每个时域周期中每组准共址关系对应的采样点组成的若干条第一序列。第一终端设备可以计算每组准共址关系对应的第一序列与第二序列的内积,确定每组准共址关系中的采样点的能量之和,并上报测量信息。例如,第一序列包括第二信号的每个时域周期对应的Q个采样点中的第i个采样点组成的序列,第二序列包括第一终端设备本地的第一参考信号的M个时域周期中每个时域周期对应的Q个采样点中的第i个采样点。举例来说,配置信息包括的L个比特为11001100,L为8,Q为4。第一终端设备接收到配置信息之后确定共有两组准共址关系,第一组准共址关系为第二信号的每个时域周期中第1个采样点和第2个采样点,第二组准共址关系为第二信号的每个时域周期中的第5个采样点和第6个采样点。其中第二信号的每个时域周期中的第3个采样点、第4个采样点、第7个采样点和第8个采样点对应的时间为网络设备切换波束所需的时间,第一终端设备不测量这些采样点。第一终端设备根据本地的第一参考信号的每个时域周期的第1个采样点和第2个采样点生成第一组准共址关系对应的序列1,根据本地的第一参考信号的每个时域周期的第5个采样点和第6个采样点生成第二组准共址关系对应的序列2。第一终端设备根据第二信号的每个时域周期中的第1个采样点和第2个采样点生成序列3,第一终端设备根据第二信号的每个时域周期中的第5个采样点和第6个采样点生成序列4。第一终端设备利用序列1与序列3的内积再除以序列1与序列1的内积得到第一组准共址关系对应的能量之和A1,第一终端设备利用序列2与序列4的内积再除以序列2与序列2的内积得到第二组准共址关系对应的能量之和A2。其中能量之和A1表征了网络设备发送第一组准共址关系的采样点的波束的质量,能量之和A2表征了网络设备发送第二组准共址关系的采样点的波束的质量。
可选地,第一终端设备确定每组准共址关系对应的能量之后,向网络设备发送第一时域符号对应的第一测量信息。第一测量信息包括L个比特,第一测量信息包括的L个比特与第一参考信号的每个时域周期对应的L个采样点一一对应。第一终端设备在每组准共址关系对应的能量中确定能量之和大于预设值的目标准共址关系,并将第一测量信息包括的 L个比特中目标准共址关系对应的采样点对应的比特设置为第三取值;第一终端设备将第一测量信息包括的L个比特中其余采样点对应的比特设置为第四取值。结合上述的举例,若能量之和A1大于预设值,能量之和A2小于预设值,则第一测量信息包括的L个比特为11000000。
可选地,第一测量信息可以为第一终端设备在第一时域符号内测量得到的信息,因此第一终端设备可以向网络设备发送指示第一时域符号的指示信息以及第一测量信息。这样,网络设备可以根据指示信息确定第一测量信息为第一时域符号内的测量信息。可选地,指示信息可以直接指示第一时域符号,或者可以通过指示第一参考信号的资源索引指示第一时域符号。
可选地,第一终端设备确定每组准共址关系对应的能量之后,向网络设备发送第三测量信息,第三测量信息包括每组准共址关系对应的能量。结合上述的举例,第三测量信息包括能量之和A1和能量之和A2。
可选地,第三测量信息中F个比特位置与F组准共址关系的采样点得到的F个能量之和一一对应,第一终端设备测量F组准共址关系的采样点得到的F个能量之和后,在第三测量信息的F个比特位置上分别承载F个能量之和。F个比特位置与F组准共址关系一一对应。网络设备接收到第三测量信息之后,根据F个比特位置确定与F组准共址关系一一对应的F个能量之和,从而在F个能量之和中确定最大的能量之和,发送该组最大的能量之和对应的采样点的波束即为第一目标波束。
可选地,第三测量信息中H个比特位置与H个能量之和一一对应,第三测量信息的H个比特位置上分别承载H个能量之和。H个比特位置与H组准共址关系一一对应。网络设备接收到第三测量信息之后,根据H个比特位置确定与H组准共址关系一一对应的H个能量之和,从而在H个能量之和中确定最大的能量之和,发送该组最大的能量之和对应的采样点的波束即为第一目标波束。
可选地,第三测量信息可以为第一终端设备在第一时域符号内测量得到的信息,因此第一终端设备可以向网络设备发送指示第一时域符号的指示信息以及第三测量信息。这样,网络设备可以根据指示信息确定第三测量信息为第一时域符号内的测量信息。可选地,指示信息可以直接指示第一时域符号,或者可以通过指示第一参考信号的资源索引指示第一时域符号。
情况二,与方法700的情况二对应,配置信息包括Q个索引,Q个索引与Q个采样点一一对应。方法900中的情况二中的配置信息与方法700中的情况二中的配置信息相同,为了避免赘述不详细描述。
在情况二中,第一终端设备接收到配置信息之后,确定配置信息共配置了几组准共址关系的采样点,并根据配置信息生成每组准共址关系对应的本地的第一参考信号对应的若干条第二序列。此外,第一终端设备还将确定第二信号的每个时域周期中每组准共址关系对应的采样点组成的若干条第一序列。第一终端设备可以确定每组准共址关系对应的第一序列与第二序列的内积,确定每组准共址关系中的采样点的能量之和,并上报测量信息。例如,第一序列包括第二信号的每个时域周期中Q个采样点中的第i个采样点组成的序列,第二序列包括第一终端设备本地的第一参考信号的M个时域周期中每个时域周期中Q个采样点中第i个采样点。举例来说,配置信息包括的Q个索引为0,1,4,5,Q为4。其中,0 表示第一终端设备测量每个时域周期中的第1个采样点,1表示第一终端设备测量每个时域周期中的第2个采样点,4表示第一终端设备测量每个时域周期中的第5个采样点,5表示第一终端设备测量每个时域周期中的第6个采样点。由于索引0,1为连续的,索引4,5为连续的,因此第一终端设备确定共有两组准共址关系。第一组准共址关系为第二信号的每个时域周期中第1个采样点和第2个采样点,第二组准共址关系为第二信号的每个时域周期中的第5个采样点和第6个采样点。第一终端设备根据本地的第一参考信号的每个时域周期的第1个采样点和第2个采样点生成第一组准共址关系对应的序列1,根据本地的第一参考信号的每个时域周期的第5个采样点和第6个采样点生成第二组准共址关系对应的序列2。第一终端设备根据第二信号的每个时域周期中的第1个采样点和第2个采样点生成序列3,第一终端设备根据第二信号的每个时域周期中的第5个采样点和第6个采样点生成序列4。第一终端设备利用序列1与序列3的内积再除以序列1与序列1的内积得到第一组准共址关系对应的能量之和A1,第一终端设备利用序列2与序列4的内积的再除以序列2与序列1的内积得到第二组准共址关系对应的能量之和A2。其中能量之和A1表示网络设备发送第一组准共址关系的采样点的波束的质量,能量之和A2表示网络设备发送第二组准共址关系的采样点的波束的质量。
可选地,第一终端设备确定每组准共址关系对应的能量之和之后,确定能量之和大于预设值的一组或者多组准共址关系,并向网络设备发送第二测量信息。第二测量信息指示目标索引,Q个索引包括目标索引,与目标索引指示的采样点具有准共址关系的采样点的能量之和大于预设值。目标索引可以包括一个或多个。可选地,第二测量信息可以直接指示目标索引也可以间接指示目标索引,例如第二测量信息可以指示目标索引的区间段。结合上述的举例,若能量之和A1大于预设值,能量之和A2小于预设值,则第二测量信息指示的Q个索引为0,1,第二测量信息可以直接指示0,1或者指示0-1,0-1表示索引0对应的采样点与索引1对应的采样点之间所有的采样点的能量之和大于预设值。
可选地,第二测量信息可以为第一终端设备在第一时域符号内测量得到的信息,因此第一终端设备可以向网络设备发送指示第一时域符号的指示信息以及第二测量信息。这样,网络设备可以根据指示信息确定第二测量信息为第一时域符号内的测量信息。可选地,指示信息可以直接指示第一时域符号,或者可以通过指示第一参考信号的资源索引指示第一时域符号。
可选地,第一终端设备确定第二信号中的第一参考信号的每组准共址关系对应的能量之后,向网络设备发送第三测量信息。第三测量信息包括每组准共址关系对应的能量。结合上述的举例,第三测量信息包括能量之和A1和能量之和A2。
可选地,第三测量信息中F个比特位置与F组准共址关系的采样点得到的F个能量之和一一对应,第一终端设备测量F组准共址关系的采样点得到的F个能量之和后,在第三测量信息的F个比特位置上分别承载F个能量之和。F个比特位置与F组准共址关系一一对应。网络设备接收到第三测量信息之后,根据F个比特位置确定与F组准共址关系一一对应的F个能量之和,从而在F个能量之和中确定最大的能量之和,发送该组最大的能量之和对应的采样点的波束即为第一目标波束。
可选地,第三测量信息中H个比特位置与H个能量之和一一对应,第三测量信息的H个比特位置上分别承载H个能量之和。H个比特位置与H组准共址关系一一对应。网络设 备接收到第三测量信息之后,根据H个比特位置确定与H组准共址关系一一对应的H个能量之和,从而在H个能量之和中确定最大的能量之和,发送该组最大的能量之和对应的采样点的波束即为第一目标波束。
可选地,第三测量信息可以为第一终端设备在第一时域符号内测量得到的信息,因此第一终端设备可以向网络设备发送指示第一时域符号的指示信息以及第三测量信息。这样,网络设备可以根据指示信息确定第三测量信息为第一时域符号内的测量信息。可选地,指示信息可以直接指示第一时域符号,或者可以通过指示第一参考信号的资源索引指示第一时域符号。
需要理解的是,第一终端设备在确定第二信号中第一参考信号的能量的过程中,第一终端设备能够获知网络设备发送的第一参考信号。也就是说,第一终端设备在本地保存有第一参考信号。第一终端设备接收到第二信号之后,利用包括第二信号的每个时域周期的第i个采样点的序列与本地保存的包括第一参考信号的每个时域周期的第i个采样点的序列进行内积,可以消除第一信号对第一参考信号的干扰,从而可以使得第一终端设备确定的第一参考信号的能量比较准确。
需要说明的是,在方法500与方法900可以结合的情况下,方法500中L个RE中P个RE用于映射第一参考信号,方法500的L个RE中除了P个RE之外的RE不发送信号。网络设备可以在其他终端设备的频带中除了上述L-P个RE之外的RE映射第一信号,其中,L-P个RE为L个RE中除了P个RE之外的RE,其他终端设备包括第二终端设备。通过这种设计,可以使得第一参考信号在时域上的每个时域周期对应的L个采样点中的第i个采样点组成的第二序列与第一信号的每个时域周期对应的L个采样点中的第i个采样点组成的第三序列正交。但是在实际处理过程中,第一终端设备并没有感知第三序列。
为了理解方案,下面结合图10描述第二序列与第三序列正交。如图10所示,按照方法500中的设计,网络设备在第一终端设备的频带上每间隔M个RE上映射了第一参考信号,如图11中的RE 2和RE 3。网络设备在第二终端设备的频带上每间隔M个RE上设置空白RE,例如RE 1和RE L。网络设备在第二终端设备的频带上除了空白RE之外的RE向第二终端设备发送第一信号。第一终端设备既可以收到网络设备向第一终端设备发送的第一参考信号rf,也可以接收到网络设备向第二终端设备发送的第一信号df。因此,在数学上,第一终端设备接收到的频域上的第二信号sf可以分解为第一信号df和第一参考信号rf,即sf=df+rf,也就是说,第二信号为第一信号和第一参考信号加起来的信号。其中rf可以理解为网络设备发送给第一终端设备的频域的第一参考信号组成的序列,rf在第二终端设备的频带对应的RE位置补零。df可以理解为网络设备发送给第二终端设备的频域的第一信号组成的序列,df在第一终端设备的频带的对应的RE位置补零。这样,相当于第一终端设备接收到了频域的第一信号和第一参考信号叠加后的第二信号sf。在频域上,df、rf和sf的长度都相同,例如为N,相当于第一终端设备的频带和第二终端设备的频带共占N个子载波。L=N/M,即共存在L个频域栅格。将频域的序列sf、df和rf变换到时域之后,得到时域的序列分别为st、dt和rt,其中,st=dt+rt,st可以为前述的第一序列,rt可以为前述的第二序列,dt可以为前述的第三序列。根据傅里叶变换的性质,可以得到其中i为满足0≤i≤L的任意一个整数。上述公式表明,rt与dt具有正交性,即第二序列与第三序列正交。如图11所示,第一终端设备的本 地的频域的第一参考信号rf变换到时域为rt,频域的第一信号df变换到时域为dt,频域的第二信号sf变换到时域为st。第一终端设备提取本地的时域的第一参考信号的每个时域周期中的第i个采样点组成的序列为第二序列rt(mL+i),第一终端设备提取接收到的第二信号的每个时域周期中的第i个采样点组成的序列为第一序列,第一终端设备对第一序列和第二序列进行内积运算:第一终端设备根据第一序列和第二序列进行内积运算的结果确定第二信号中的第一参考信号的能量,这样,第一终端设备可以消除第一信号的每个时域周期中的第i个样点组成的第三序列dt(mL+i)对第一参考信号的能量的影响,从而使波束的测量更加准确。
可选地,在S920之前,方法900还包括:第一终端设备从网络设备接收第一指示信息,第一指示信息用于指示发送第一参考信号的M个时域周期中每个时域周期对应的L个采样点中的第i个采样点具有准共址关系。可选地,第一终端设备可以通过DCI或者MAC CE或者RRC信令接收第一指示信息。这样,第一终端设备可以根据第一指示信息执行方法900本申请实施例中的方法。例如,本申请实施例中的图8波束发送采样点的方式可以称之为“交织的符号内波束训练”的方式,图4波束发送采样点的方式可以称之为“周期的符号内波束训练”的方式,如第一指示信息对应的比特取值为1,表示波束发送采样点的方式为“交织的符号内波束训练”的方式,则第一终端设备根据方法900测量波束的能量,若第一指示信息对应的比特的取值为0表示波束发送采样点的方式为“周期的符号内波束训练”的方式,第一终端设备根据图4所示的发送采样点的方式测量一个时域周期内采样点的能量之和,即可确定一个波束的质量。
需要说明的是,本申请实施例中以第一终端设备和第二终端设备为例描述,第一终端设备是接收网络设备发送的第一参考信号的终端设备,第二终端设备是接收网络设备发送的第一信号的终端设备。网络设备需要在第一终端设备的频带或者频域资源中确定P个RE,在第二终端设备的频带或者频域资源中确定L-P个空白RE,在L-P个RE上不向第二终端设备发送任何信号。实际应用中,网络设备可以向更多的终端设备(例如G个终端设备,G为正整数)发送不同的信号,向第一终端设备发送第一参考信号。第一时域符号对应的L个频域栅格,每个频域栅格包括M个RE,网络设备在不同终端设备的频带或者频域资源中设置相应的空白RE,例如在F个终端设备的频带或者频域资源上分别设置的空白RE为P1个RE,P2个RE……,PF个RE,其中,P1+P2+……+PF+P=L。
可选地,上述图5-图11的实施例中提到的采样点的能量之和可以为采样点的归一化能量之和,即第一终端设备在计算第一参考信号的采样点的能量之和时需要进行归一化处理。第一终端设备可以利用接收到的第二信号的采样点组成的序列与第二信号对应的本地的第一参考信号组成的序列进行内积,然后再除以与第二信号对应的本地的第一参考信号组成的序列与自身(与第二信号对应的本地的第一参考信号组成的序列)的内积。
上述方法图5-图11的实施例中描述的是训练网络设备的发送波束,本申请实施例也同样适用于训练第一终端设备的接收波束。在训练第一终端设备的接收波束的过程中,网络设备采用固定的波束发送第一参考信号,第一终端设备切换波束接收第一参考信号。第一终端设备采用相同的波束接收每个时域周期中的具有准共址关系的采样点。网络设备发送的第一参考信号的每个时域周期对应的L个采样点中的第i个采样点具有准共址关系, 这样第一终端设备测量第一参考信号的能量,根据第一参考信号的能量在接收波束中确定第二目标波束,为了避免赘述本申请实施例不详细描述确定第二目标波束的过程。可选地,在训练第一终端设备的接收波束的过程中,若第二指示信息指示的第一时域符号为接收波束训练对应的时域符号,则网络设备需要在第一时域符号之前向第一终端设备发送第一指示信息和第二指示信息。
上述描述的是网络设备与终端设备通信过程中的方法,本申请实施例也可以适用于D2D场景,下面结合图12描述D2D场景下的方法1200。方法1200中,第一设备可以为第三终端设备、第二设备可以为第四终端设备、第四设备可以为第五终端设备,如图12所示方法1200包括:
S1210,第五终端设备广播第六指示信息,第三终端设备接收第六指示信息。第六指示信息用于指示第一时域符号。
可选地,第六指示信息具体用于指示第一时域符号所在的帧的帧索引,第一时域符号所在的帧内的时隙的时隙索引以及第一时域符号所在的时隙内的符号索引。可选地,第六指示信息具体用于指示第一时域符号所在时隙相对于第五终端设备发送第六指示信息的时隙的时隙偏移以及第一时域符号所在的时隙内的符号索引。
可选地,第一时域符号可以是第一OFDM符号。
可选地,第五终端设备可以通过广播消息在MAC CE或者RRC信令或者第二阶段的侧行链路控制信息(sidelink control information,SCI 2)中发送第六指示信息。
S1220,第五终端设备广播第七指示信息,第三终端设备接收第七指示信息,第七指示信息指示第五终端设备在第一时域符号内发送第二参考信号的资源元素对应的第二梳齿值K和第二梳齿偏移值,K为正整数,第二梳齿偏移值的取值范围为0至K-1。
其中,第一时域符号对应的RE为M*L个RE,M*L/K也可以称为频域栅格的数量,每个频域栅格包括K个RE,也就是说第一时域符号对应M*L个RE。对于第三终端设备而言,M*L个RE可以是由L个频域栅格,每个频域栅格包括M个RE组成。对于第五终端设备而言,M*L个RE可以是由M*L/K个频域栅格,每个频域栅格包括K个RE组成。
可选地,第一梳齿值M与第二梳齿值K可以相同或者不同。本申请实施例不予限制。
可选地,第一梳齿偏移值与第二梳齿偏移值可以相同或者不同,本申请实施例不予限制。
在S1220之前,第五终端设备确定第一时域符号内的W个频域栅格,每个频域栅格中包括K个RE。第五终端设备在每个频域栅格中确定一个RE。这样,W个RE中的每个RE来自一个频域栅格,W个RE中任意两个RE间隔K的整数倍个RE。例如,间隔K个RE,或者2K个RE,或者间隔3K个RE等,K和W为正整数。
可选地,第二梳齿值K与一个频域栅格中包括的RE的数量相等。W个RE中每个RE属于一个频域栅格,W个RE中每个RE在各自的频域栅格中的第二梳齿偏移值相同。例如,如图13所示,第一梳齿值K与第二梳齿值M相同,第一频域栅格的频域资源位于第五终端设备的频域资源或者频带,W个RE包括RE 1,W个RE中每个RE在各自的频域栅格中的梳齿偏移值为2,即第五终端设备在第一个频域栅格的第3个RE上映射第五终端设备将发送的第二参考信号。
可选地,第五终端设备可以通过广播消息在MAC CE或者RRC信令或者SCI 2中发 送第七指示信息。
需要说明的是,第五终端设备映射的第二参考信号可能是发送给其他终端设备的,用于训练第五终端设备的发送波束或者训练其他终端设备的接收波束。例如发送给第六终端设备,也可能发送给第三终端设备或者第四终端设备等,本申请实施例对与第五终端设备训练波束的终端设备不作限定。
可选地,第五终端设备可以在同一个广播消息中同时广播第六指示信息和第七指示信息,第三终端设备可以在同一个广播消息中获取第六指示信息和第七指示信息。可选地,第五终端设备可以在不同的广播消息中广播第六指示信息和第七指示信息,第三终端设备可以在不同的广播消息中获取第六指示信息和第七指示信息。也就是说,本申请实施例对S1210和S1220的顺序没有任何限制。
可选地,第六指示信息和/或第七指示信息还可以指示进行符号内波束训练的对端终端设备的标识,这样,接收到广播消息的终端设备就可以根据标识确定需要与发送第五终端设备进行波束训练。例如,第六指示信息和/或第七指示信息指示第六终端设备的标识。若第三终端设备接收到第六指示信息和/或第七指示信息,根据第六终端设备的标识确定不需要与第五终端设备进行波束训练,即不需要接收第五终端设备发送的第二参考信号。
可选地,若第九终端设备接收到第六指示信息和/或第七指示信息,第九终端设备需要向第十终端设备发送第一信号,则第九终端设备需要根据第六指示信息确定第一时域符号,第九终端设备需要根据第七指示信息指示的第二梳齿值K和第二梳齿偏移值确定W个RE,若W个RE中存在的S个RE属于第九终端设备的频带,则第九终端设备在发送第一信号时设置相应的S个RE为空白RE,S是小于W的正整数,W为正整数。这样,第九终端设备在发送第一信号时,不在S个RE上发送任何信号,若接收到广播消息的第九终端设备不发送任何信号,则不作任何操作。可选地,第十终端设备可以从第九终端设备接收指示第一时域符合、第二梳齿值K和第二梳齿偏移值的指示信息,或者也可以直接从第五终端设备的广播消息中的第六指示信息确定第一时域符号,根据广播消息中第七指示信息确定第一时域符号,从而根据第六指示信息和第七指示信息确定W个RE,并确定属于第九终端设备的频带的S个RE,确定该S个RE为空白RE,从而根据空白RE解调来自第九终端设备的第一信号。
可选地,在S1230之前,第三终端设备确定是否需要在第一时域符号内进行波束训练。若第三终端设备确定需要在第一时域符号内进行波束训练,则执行S1220,否则不执行S1220。例如第三终端设备需要在第二时域符号内进行波束训练,则不执行S1220,而是在第二时域符号内确定P个RE,P个RE中任意两个RE间隔M的整数倍个RE,在第二时域符号内的P个RE映射第一参考信号,并发送给第四终端设备。
S1230,第三终端设备根据第六指示信息指示的第一时域符号和第七指示信息指示的第二梳齿值K和第二梳齿偏移值确定W个RE,W个RE横跨至少两个设备的频域资源,W个RE中任意两个RE间隔K的整数倍个RE,从第三终端设备的频域资源中筛选掉属于W个RE的RE,确定L个RE中的P个RE。
也就是说,第三终端设备在映射向第四终端设备发送的第一参考信号之前,需要在第四终端设备的频域资源或者频带上过滤掉与其他终端设备映射第二参考信号的RE相关联的RE。换言之,需要确保其他终端设备映射第二参考信号的RE不会干扰第三终端设备所 映射的第一参考信号。例如,如图13所示,第三终端设备根据第二梳齿值K(K=M)和第二梳齿偏移值2确定W个RE。第一个频域栅格中的RE 1为第五终端设备映射第二参考信号的RE,第六终端设备的频带占第一个频域栅格,第四终端设备的频带占第二个频域栅格和第三个频域栅格,由于RE 4和RE 5属于W个RE。因此,第三终端设备需要筛选掉RE 4和RE 5,从而确定P个RE为RE 2和RE 3。
可选地,第三终端设备还可以发送第三指示信息,第三指示信息用于指示第一时域符号。可选地,第三终端设备可以发送广播消息,广播消息包括第三指示信息,可选地,第三指示信息还可以指示第四终端设备的标识。可选地,第三终端设备可以向第四终端设备发送第三指示信息。可选地,第三指示信息具体用于指示第一时域符号所在的帧的帧索引,第一时域符号所在的帧内的时隙的时隙索引以及第一时域符号所在的时隙内的符号索引。可选地,第三指示信息具体用于指示第一时域符号所在时隙相对于第三终端设备发送第三指示信息的时隙的时隙偏移以及第一时域符号所在的时隙内的符号索引。
可选地,第三终端设备可以还可以发送第四指示信息,第四指示信息用于指示第一梳齿值M和第一梳齿偏移值。可选地,第三终端设备可以发送广播消息,广播消息包括第四指示信息。
可选地,第三终端设备可以在不同的广播消息中广播第三指示信息和第四指示信息。
可选地,第三终端设备可以在同一个广播消息中广播第三指示信息和第四指示信息。若接收到广播消息的第七终端设备需要在第三指示信息指示的第一时域符号上发送第一信号,则第七终端设备需要根据第四指示信息指示的第一梳齿值M和第一梳齿偏移值确定L个RE,若L个RE中存在的L-P个RE属于第七终端设备的频带,则第七终端设备在发送第一信号时设置相应的L-P个RE为空白RE,空白RE的描述可以参见方法500中的L-P个RE的描述。这样,第七终端设备在发送第一信号时,不在L-P个RE上发送任何信号,若接收到广播消息的第七终端设备不发送任何信号,则不作任何操作。例如,如图13所示,第L个频域栅格中的RE为第七终端设备的频带或者频域资源,RE L与RE 3或者RE 2间隔M的整数倍个RE。第七终端设备在RE L上不发送任何信号,避免对第三终端设备在RE 2和RE 3上发送第一参考信号造成干扰。
也就是说,在方法1200中,在第三终端设备与第四终端设备训练波束的过程中,由于没有中心调度节点,因此,第三终端设备需要接收其他终端设备(第五终端设备)广播消息中的第六指示信息和第七指示信息,确定其他终端设备可能映射参考信号的RE。第三终端设备在映射向第四终端设备发送的第一参考信号时,需要筛选掉其他终端设备映射参考信号的RE,从而避免其他终端设备映射的参考信号干扰第三终端设备发送给第一终端设备的参考信号,从而可以实现在没有中心调度节点的场景下,第三终端设备确定P个RE的方法。
S1240,第三终端设备在P个RE上映射将要发送给第四终端设备的第一参考信号。其中,P个RE位于第三终端设备的频带。L个RE中除了P个RE之外的RE属于其他终端设备的频域资源,且其他终端设备在L个RE中除了P个RE之外的RE上不发送任何信号。
可以理解的是,P个RE也可以理解为第四终端设备的频带,换句话说,第三终端设备和第四终端设备在通信的过程中所使用的频带可以理解为第三终端设备的频带也可以 理解成第四终端设备的频带,本申请实施例对此不作限制。
具体地,S1240中,第三终端设备与S520中网络设备映射将要发送给第一终端设备的第一参考信号类似,为了避免赘述不详细描述。
可选地,L个RE横跨至少两个设备的频域资源,P个RE属于第四终端设备的频域资源,L-P个RE中包括第七终端设备的频域资源。
上述方法1200中,提供用于处理信号的方法。第三终端设备可以根据接收到第五终端设备发送的第六指示信息和第七指示信息确定P个RE,并在P个RE上映射将要发送给第四终端设备的第一参考信号,P个RE中任意两个RE间隔的RE的数量是M的整数倍。第四终端设备可以测量第一参考信号在时域上的不同的采样点实现对不同的波束的测量,从而可以提高测量波束的准确性,也能在一个时域符号内训练多个波束,从而可以降低资源开销。此外,第三终端设备可以发送第三指示信息和第四指示信息,若接收到第三指示信息和第四指示信息的第七终端设备需要在第一时域符号上发送第一信号,则第七终端设备需要根据第一梳齿值M和第一梳齿偏移值确定L个RE,若L个RE中存在的L-P个RE属于第七终端设备的频带,则第七终端设备在发送第一信号时设置相应的L-P个RE为空白RE,这样第七终端设备在发送第一信号时,不在L-P个RE上发送任何信号,第七终端设备可以在除了不发送任何信号的L-P个空白RE之外的RE上发送第一信号,这样也能够避免第七终端设备发送的第一信号干扰第三终端设备向第四终端设备发送的第一参考信号,同时也可以提高资源调度的灵活性。若接收到第三指示信息和第四指示信息的第七终端设备不发送任何信号,则不作任何操作。
第三终端设备按照上述方法1200中映射将要向第四终端设备发送的第一参考信号之后,第三终端设备可以在时域上发送第一参考信号对应的采样点,下面描述第三终端设备发送第一参考信号对应的采样点,第四终端设备测量第一参考信号对应的采样点的过程。第三终端设备在第一时域符号内向第四终端设备发送第一参考信号的M个时域周期对应的M*L个采样点,第一参考信号的M个时域周期中每个时域周期对应L个采样点,每个时域周期对应的L个采样点中第i个采样点具有准共址关系,i的取值为1至L的正整数。
具体地,第三终端设备向第四终端设备发送第一参考信号的M个时域周期对应的M*L个采样点的方法与S710中网络设备向第一终端设备发送第一参考信号的M个时域周期对应的M*L个采样点的方法类似,例如,S710中网络设备向第一终端设备的配置信息,则S1200中第三终端设备也可以向第四终端设备发送配置信息,第四终端设备基于配置信息测量第一参考信号,并上报,第三终端设备根据第四终端设备上报的测量信息,确定目标波束,为了避免赘述不详细描述。
可选地,若接收到第三指示信息和第四指示信息的第七终端设备需要在第一时域符号上发送第一信号,则第七终端设备需要根据第一梳齿值M和第一梳齿偏移值确定L个RE,若L个RE中存在的L-P个RE属于第七终端设备的频带,则第七终端设备在发送第一信号时设置相应的L-P个RE为空白RE,空白RE的描述可以参见方法500中的L-P个RE的描述,这样第七终端设备在发送第一信号时,不在L-P个RE上发送任何信号,在时域上第七终端设备在第一时域符号上向第八终端设备发送第一信号,第一信号的M个时域周期对应的M*L个采样点,第一信号的M个时域周期中每个时域周期对应L个采样点。其中,第七终端设备向第八终端设备发送第一信号的方法参考S720中网络设备向第二终端 设备发送第一信号的方法,为了避免赘述不详细描述。若接收到第三指示信息和第四指示信息的第七终端设备不发送任何信号,则不作任何操作。
上述方法1200描述的是第三终端设备向第四终端设备发送第一参考信号,第七终端设备向第八终端设备发送第一信号,或者第九终端设备向第十终端设备第一信号,对于第四终端设备而言可能会接收到第一参考信号和第一信号混合的第二信号,下面结合图14的方法1400描述第四终端设备处理信号的过程。
S1410,第四终端设备在第一时域符号上接收第二信号的M个时域周期对应的M*L个采样点,第二信号的M个时域周期中每个时域周期对应L个采样点。
其中,S1410中的第四终端设备与S910中的第一终端设备类似,S1410中第四终端设备执行的过程参见S910中第一终端设备执行的过程,为了避免赘述不详细描述。
可选地,第四终端设备可以接收第三终端设备定向发送给第四终端设备的第三指示信息,根据第三指示信息确定第一时域符号。可选地,第四终端设备可以接收第三终端设备在广播消息中广播的第三指示信息,第三指示信息还可以指示第四终端设备的标识,第四终端设备根据第四终端设备的标识确定第三指示信息指示的第一时域符号为第三终端设备训练发送波束的时域符号。
S1420,第四终端设备根据第一序列与第二序列的内积,确定第二信号中的第一参考信号的能量,第一序列包括第二信号的每个时域周期对应的L个采样点中的第i个采样点组成的序列,第二序列包括第四终端设备本地的第一参考信号的M个时域周期中每个时域周期中L个采样点中第i个采样点。
其中,S1420中的第四终端设备与S920中的第一终端设备类似,S1420中第四终端设备执行的过程参见S920中第一终端设备执行的过程,为了避免赘述不详细描述。
可选地,第七终端设备可能与第九终端设备为同一个终端设备,或者第八终端设备可能与第十终端设备为同一个终端设备也就是说上述为了描述方便采样不同的终端设备描述,实际这些终端设备中可能存在两个终端设备为同一个终端设备的情况。
可选地,上述图12-图14的实施例中提到的采样点的能量之和可以为采样点的归一化能量之和,即第四终端设备在计算第一参考信号的采样点的能量之和时需要进行归一化处理,第四终端设备可以利用接收到的第二信号的采样点组成的序列与第二信号对应的本地的第一参考信号组成的序列进行内积,然后再除以与第二信号对应的本地的第一参考信号组成的序列与自身(与第二信号对应的本地的第一参考信号组成的序列)的内积。
上述图12-图14的实施例中描述的是训练第三终端设备的发送波束,本申请实施例也同样适用于训练第四终端设备的接收波束,在训练第四终端设备的接收波束的过程中,第三终端设备采用特定的波束发送第一参考信号,第四终端设备换波束接收第一参考信号,第三终端设备发送的第一参考信号的每个时域周期对应的L个采样点中的第i个采样点具有准共址关系,这样第四终端设备测量第一参考信号的能量,根据第一参考信号的能量在接收波束中确定目标波束,为了避免赘述本申请实施例不详细描述确定第二目标波束的过程。
