下面结合附图,通过一些实施例及其应用场景对本申请实施例提供的波束调整方法 进行详细地说明。
第一方面,参见图4所示,为本申请实施例所提供的一种波束调整方法的流程图,该方法可以包括以下步骤401至402:
步骤401:中继设备获取所述中继设备的波束集合组的相关信息。
在本申请实施例中,所述波束集合组为由中继设备形成的波束划分而成的集合的分组。其中,一个波束集合组包括至少一个波束集合,一个波束集合包括至少一个波束。可选地,处于同一波束集合中的波束为同一面板或面板组合形成,或者,处于同一波束集合中的波束为同一端口或端口组合形成,或者,处于同一波束集合中的波束为同一发射通道形成。
示例性的,波束集合组={波束集合#1,波束集合#2},其中,不同的波束集合中的波束来自不同的面板(Panel)/端口(Port)/发射通道。以Panel为例,如图5所示,NCR节点的转发天线面板可以包含若干个面板,其中,面板#1实现波束集合#1,面板#2实现波束集合#2。
另外,上述波束集合组的相关信息,用于指示该波束集合组中的波束的信息,以及该波束集合组中的波束所处的波束集合和组合情况。因此,根据该波束集合组的相关信息,可以明确各个波束分别处于哪个波束集合以及哪个组合。
步骤402:所述中继设备根据所述波束集合组的相关信息,调整接入链路的波束。
可选地,所述波束集合组中的同一个波束集合中的波束不能同时使用,所述波束集合组中的不同波束集合中的波束可以同时使用。示例性的,波束集合组={波束集合#1,波束集合#2},则波束集合#1中的波束不能同时使用,波束集合#2中的波束也不能同时使用,波束集合#1中的波束可以和波束集合#2中的波束同时使用。
因此,中继设备在根据波束集合组的相关信息,调整接入链路的波束时,可以依据“同一个波束集合中的波束不能同时使用,不同波束集合中的波束可以同时使用”的原则,来选择接入链路可以使用的波束。
例如当多个UE被同时调度时,中继设备则可以从不同波束集合中选择多个波束,用于NCR与所述多个UE之间的接入链路的传输。
其中,需要说明的是,同一个波束集合中的波束为同一个面板或者面板组合形成的,或者,同一个波束集合中的波束为同一个端口或者端口组合形成的,或者,同一个波束集合中的波束是由同一个发射通道形成,而一个面板或者面板组合在同一个时刻形成一个波束,一个端口或者端口组合在同一个时刻形成一个波束,一个发射通道在同一个时刻形成一个波束因此,同一个波束集合中的波束不能同时使用,而不同波束集合中的波束可以同时使用。
由上述步骤401至402可知,在本申请实施例中,中继设备能够获取该中继设备的波束集合组的相关信息,从而根据波束集合组的相关信息,调整接入链路的波束。由此可见,在本申请实施例中,即使NCR服务的多个UE被同时调度,NCR也可以根据波束 集合组的相关信息,调整NCR与这些UE之间的接入链路的传输波束,因此,本申请的实施例,给出了基于NCR的波束集合组,调整NCR与UE之间的接入链路的传输波束的实现方式。

其中,需要说明的是,如果中继设备不支持多个组合共存(例如预先确定的协议不支持多个组合共存,或者中继设备自身不支持多个组合共存),则不需要通知组合ID。即中继设备不支持多个组合共存的情况下,只能确定一个组合,且不支持的情况下,可以按照上述B-3至B-6项中的至少一项,通知波束集合组的相关信息。
此外,需要说明的是,上述组合的标识为用于标识一组波束集合的第一配置标识;上述集合的标识为形成集合包括的波束的面板的标识,或形成集合包括的波束的端口的标识,或者用于标识一组波束的第二配置标识;上述波束的标识为参考信号(Reference Signal,RS)标识,或者用于标识波束的第三配置标识(例如传输配置指示(Transmission Configuration Indicator,TCI))。
可选地,所述中继设备根据所述波束集合组的相关信息,调整接入链路的波束之前,所述方法还包括:
所述中继设备接收网络侧设备发送的波束指示信息,其中,所述波束指示信息包括至少一个波束的标识。
其中,上述波束的标识可以包括波束编号、波束关联的RS编号中的至少一者。
此处需要说明的是,无论上述波束集合组由中继设备确定,还是由网络侧设备确定, 中继设备都可以向中继设备发送上述波束指示信息。即网络侧设备可以对中继设备的接入链路的波束进行控制,例如通过波束指示信息指示接入链路的接收/发送的波束编号/关联的RS编号,则中继设备可以根据该波束指示信息的指示调整接入链路的波束。进一步地,在本申请实施例中,中继设备可以根据波束指示信息,以及波束集合组的相关信息,来调整接入链路的波束,从而可以实现多波束同时传输。
下面,进一步介绍中继设备根据波束指示信息,以及波束集合组的相关信息,来调整接入链路的波束,从而可以实现多波束同时传输的具体实现方式。
可选地,所述中继设备根据所述波束集合组的相关信息,调整接入链路的波束,包括:
在候选波束指示信息指示的波束中存在第一类波束的情况下,所述中继设备执行如下中其中一项:
将所述第一类波束中的其中一个,调整为所述接入链路的波束;
将所述第一类波束中,距离当前时刻最近的波束指示信息指示的一个波束,调整为所述接入链路的波束;
将所述第一类波束中,优先级最高的波束指示信息指示的一个波束,调整为所述接入链路的波束;
其中,所述候选波束指示信息包括至少一个所述波束指示信息,且所述候选指示信息中包括的波束指示信息指示同一时刻的波束;所述第一类波束为属于相同波束集合的波束。
例如在时隙(slot)1收到波束指示信息M1,在slot2收到波束指示信息M2,二者指示的都是slot10的波束情况,并且M1指示的波束为波束A和波束C;M2指示的波束为波束B、波束D和波束E;那么,若波束A和波束B属于同一个波束集合,波束C和波束D属于同一个集合,则可以采用如下中的其中一项,作为接入链路的波束:
波束A、B中的任意一个;
波束C、D中的任意一个;
波束A、B中,或者波束C、D中,通过波束指示信息指示的时刻距离当前时刻最近的一个波束(例如M1和M2中,M1的时刻距离当前时刻最近,则从波束A、B中选择波束A,或者从波束C、D中选择波束C);
波束A、B中,或者波束C、D中,被最高优先级的波束指示信息指示的一个(例如M1和M2中,M2的优先级最高,则从波束A、B中选择波束B,从波束C、D中选择波束D)。
另外,需要说明的是,波束指示信息的优先级可以根据如下中的至少一项确定:
C-1项:波束指示信息的时域粒度;
C-2项:对应的特定传输;
C-3项:是否属于动态指示确定。
即更精细时域粒度的波束指示信息的优先级更高,例如网络侧设备可以指示每个slot的波束信息,也可以指示每个符号(symbol)上的波束信息,则这两种情况相对而言,后者波束指示信息的优先级较高;
与特定传输对应的波束指示信息,相对于与非特定传输对应的波束指示信息而言,与特定传输对应的波束指示信息优先级更高;其中,所述特定传输为协议约定/网络侧配置的;另外,所述特定传输例如为如下中的至少一项:
信道状态信息参考信号(Channel State Information-Reference Signal,CSI-RS)传输;
探测参考信号(Sounding Reference Signal,SRS)传输;
物理下行控制信道(physical downlink control channel,PDCCH)传输;
预设物理资源(CORESET)上的PDCCH传输;
CORESET#0上的PDCCH传输;
物理上行控制信道(physical uplink control channel,PUCCH)传输;
同步信号块(Synchronization Signal Block,SSB)传输;
物理随机接入信道(Physical Random Access Channel,PRACH)传输。
属于动态指示的波束指示信息,相对于属于非动态指示的波束指示信息而言,属于动态指示的波束指示信息的优先级更高,例如通过下行控制信息(Downlink Control Information,DCI)发送波束指示信息的优先级,高于通过无线资源控制(Radio Resource Control,RRC)发送波束指示信息的优先级高。
此外,对于上述C-1至C-3项的优先级等级,可以预先确定,例如C-2项最高,其次C-3项,最后,C-1项,即对于指示同一时刻的波束的多个波束指示信息而言,可以按照前述C-2、C-3、C-1项的优先级等级逐渐降低的顺序,并结合上述内容,对多个波束指示信息进行排序,从而可以选出最高优先级波束指示信息。
可选地,所述中继设备根据所述波束集合组的相关信息,调整接入链路的波束,包括:
在候选波束指示信息指示的波束中存在第二类波束的情况下,所述中继设备执行如下中其中一项:
D-1项:将所述第二类波束中的其中一个,调整为所述接入链路的波束;
D-2项:将所述第二类波束中,距离当前时刻最近的波束指示信息指示的一个波束,调整为所述接入链路的波束;
D-3项:将所述第二类波束中,优先级最高的波束指示信息指示的一个波束,调整为所述接入链路的波束;
D-4项:将所述第二类波束中的多个波束,调整为所述接入链路的波束;
D-5项:根据预设条件或者接收到的第二指示信息,将所述第二类波束中的一个或多个波束,调整为所述接入链路的波束,所述第二指示信息指示采用一个或多个波束;
其中,所述候选波束指示信息包括至少一个所述波束指示信息,且所述候选指示信 息中包括的波束指示信息指示同一时刻的波束;所述第二类波束为属于不同波束集合的波束。
由前述D-1至D-3项可知,如果指示同一时刻的波束的多个波束指示信息指示的波束中,存在属于不同集合的波束(即上述第二类波束),则可以从第二波束中选择一个波束作为接入链路的波束。例如在时隙(slot)1收到波束指示信息M1,在slot2收到波束指示信息M2,二者指示的都是slot10的波束情况,并且M1指示的波束为波束A和波束C;M2指示的波束为波束B、波束D和波束E;那么,若波束A和波束B属于同一个波束集合,波束C和波束D属于同一个集合,则波束A、C、E可以为上述第二类波束,波束B、C、E可以作为上述第二类波束,波束A、D、E可以作为上述第二类波束,波束B、D、E可以作为上述第二类波束,则可以采用如下中的其中一项,作为接入链路的波束:
波束A、C、E中的任意一个;
波束B、C、E中的任意一个;
波束A、D、E中的任意一个;
波束B、D、E中的任意一个;
波束A、C、E中,或者波束B、C、E中,或者波束A、D、E中,或者波束B、D、E中,通过波束指示信息指示的时刻距离当前时刻最近的一个波束(例如M1和M2中,M1的时刻距离当前时刻最近,则可以从波束A、C、E中选择波束A和C中的任意一个,或者从波束B、C、E中选择波束C,或者从波束A、D、E中选择波束A);
波束A、C、E中,或者波束B、C、E中,或者波束A、D、E中,或者波束B、D、E中,被最高优先级的波束指示信息指示的一个(例如M1和M2中,M2的优先级最高,则可以从波束A、C、E中选择波束E,或者从波束B、C、E中选择波束B和E中的任意一个,或者从波束A、D、E中选择波束E,或者从波束B、D、E中选择任意一个)。
另外,对于前述D-4项,可以在存在FDM的UE调度的情况下,从前述第二类波束中选择多个波束,作为中继设备与UE间的接入链路的波束。
此外,对于D-5项中的根据预先条件,将第二波束中的一个或多个波束调整为接入链路的波束,例如可以为:同等优先级的波束指示信息指示的多个波束均被采用,否则采用高优先级波束指示信息指示的波束即可;或者,同一个波束指示信令指示的多个波束可以同时使用,不同波束指示信息指示的多个波束不可以同时使用。
即可以根据“同等优先级的波束指示信息指示的多个波束均被采用,否则采用高优先级波束指示信息指示的波束”,这样的条件,从前述第二波束中选出一个或多个波束,调整为接入链路的波束;
或者,可以根据“同一个波束指示信令指示的多个波束可以同时使用,不同波束指示信息指示的多个波束不可以同时使用”,这样的条件,从前述第二波束中选出一个或多个波束,调整为接入链路的波束。
可选地,如下中的至少一项携带在所述波束指示信息中:
目标波束对应的组合标识;
所述目标波束对应的集合标识;
形成所述目标波束的面板的标识;
形成所述目标波束的端口的标识;
其中,所述目标波束为波束指示信息包括的波束的标识指示的波束。
由此可知,波束指示信息中除了可以包括至少一个波束的标识信息,还可以额外指示出这些波束对应的组合标识、对应的集合标识、形成该波束的面板的标识、形成该波束的端口的标识中的至少一者。
例如基站发送给NCR的波束指示信息中指示了Panel序号,则该波束指示信息中指示的Panel序号表示:基站在配置NCR做波束训练时,可以指示NCR节点使用指定的一个或多个Panel形成的beam做波束训练;在进行数据传输时,则指示使用指定的一个或多个Panel形成的波束进行数据传输。
另外,当一个Panel生成一个波束集合时,这个波束集合中的波束在该集合中的序号等于生成这个波束的beam的编号,例如一个Panel存在4个beam,则(panel1,beam1)指示Panel1生成的集合中的第一个波束。因此,当一个Panel生成一个波束集合时,可以使用(Panel ID,beam index)指示波束。
第二方面,参见图6所示,为本申请实施例所提供的一种波束调整方法的流程图,该方法可以包括以下步骤601:
步骤601:网络侧设备向中继设备发送所述中继设备的波束集合组的相关信息。
在本申请实施例中,所述波束集合组为由中继设备形成的波束划分而成的集合的分组。其中,一个波束集合组包括至少一个波束集合,一个波束集合包括至少一个波束。可选地,处于同一波束集合中的波束为同一面板或面板组合形成,或者,处于同一波束集合中的波束为同一端口或端口组合形成,或者,处于同一波束集合中的波束为同一发射通道形成。
另外,上述波束集合组的相关信息,用于指示该波束集合组中的波束的信息,以及该波束集合组中的波束所处的波束集合和组合情况。因此,根据该波束集合组的相关信息,可以明确各个波束分别处于哪个波束集合以及哪个组合。
此外,中继设备接收到波束集合组的相关信息后,可以根据波束集合组的相关信息,调整接入链路的波束。
可选地,所述波束集合组中的同一个波束集合中的波束不能同时使用,所述波束集合组中的不同波束集合中的波束可以同时使用。示例性的,波束集合组={波束集合#1,波束集合#2},则波束集合#1中的波束不能同时使用,波束集合#2中的波束也不能同时使用,波束集合#1中的波束可以和波束集合#2中的波束同时使用。
因此,中继设备在根据波束集合组的相关信息,调整接入链路的波束时,可以依据“同 一个波束集合中的波束不能同时使用,不同波束集合中的波束可以同时使用”的原则,来选择接入链路可以使用的波束。
例如当多个UE被同时调度时,中继设备则可以从不同波束集合中选择多个波束,用于NCR与所述多个UE之间的接入链路的传输。
其中,需要说明的是,同一个波束集合中的波束为同一个面板或者面板组合形成的,或者,同一个波束集合中的波束为同一个端口或者端口组合形成的,或者,同一个波束集合中的波束是由同一个发射通道形成,而一个面板或者面板组合在同一个时刻形成一个波束,一个端口或者端口组合在同一个时刻形成一个波束,一个发射通道在同一个时刻形成一个波束因此,同一个波束集合中的波束不能同时使用,而不同波束集合中的波束可以同时使用。
由上述步骤601可知,在本申请实施例中,网络侧设备可以向中继设备发送该中继设备的波束集合组的相关信息,从而使得该中继设备根据波束集合组的相关信息,调整接入链路的波束。由此可见,在本申请实施例中,即使NCR服务的多个UE被同时调度,NCR也可以根据波束集合组的相关信息,调整NCR与这些UE之间的接入链路的传输波束,因此,本申请的实施例,给出了基于NCR的波束集合组,调整NCR与UE之间的接入链路的传输波束的实现方式。
可选地,所述网络侧设备获取所述波束集合组的相关信息的过程,包括:
所述网络侧设备接收所述中继设备上报的第二辅助信息;
所述网络侧设备根据所述第二辅助信息,确定所述波束集合组的相关信息。
其中,第二辅助信息用于指示生成波束集合组的参数信息。
由此可知,中继设备可以向网络侧设备上报上述第二辅助信息,从而使得网络侧设备确定波束集合组,进而由网络侧设备将波束集合组的相关信息通知给中继设备。
可选地,所述方法还包括:
所述网络侧设备接收所述中继设备上报的第一辅助信息;
所述网络侧设备根据所述第一辅助信息,确定第一指示信息,所述第一指示信息用于指示生成所述波束集合组的参数信息;
所述网络侧设备向所述中继设备发送所述第一指示信息。
其中,第一辅助信息用于指示生成第一指示信息的参数信息。
由此可知,中继设备可以向网络侧设备上报第一辅助信息,从而使得网络侧设备基于第一辅助信息,生成第一指示信息,然后将第一指示信息发送给中继设备,使得中继设备根据该第一指示信息自主确定波束集合组。
可选地,所述第一指示信息包括如下至少一项:
波束集合组中的集合的数量信息;
波束集合中的波束的数量信息;
波束集合组的数量信息;
波束的实现方式。
其中,上述波束集合组中的集合的数量信息可以包括波束集合组中的集合的最大数量、最小数量、数量范围中的至少一者;

上述波束集合组的数量信息可以包括波束集合组的最大数量、最小数量、数量范围中的至少一者;
上述波束的实现方式,是指形成波束的形式,例如由单个面板形成,或由多个面板形成。
可选地,所述第一辅助信息或者所述第二辅助信息包括如下中至少一项:
A-1项:波束集合组中的集合的数量信息;
A-2项:形成波束集合的面板的标识信息;

A-7项:接收波束集合;
A-8项:发送波束集合;
A-9项:波束集合组的数量信息;
A-10项:所述中继设备的面板的数量;
A-11项:所述中继设备的每个面板形成的波束的波束增益;
A-12项:所述中继设备的每个面板形成的波束的波束宽度;
A-13项:所述中继设备的每个端口的数量;
A-14项:所述中继设备的每个端口形成的波束的波束增益;
A-15项:所述中继设备的每个端口形成的波束的波束宽度;
A-16项:载波的标识信息;
A-17项:小区标识信息。
其中,上述A-1项中,波束集合组中的集合的数量信息可以包括波束集合组中的集合的最大数量、最小数量、数量范围中的至少一者。
上述第一辅助信息或第二辅助信息包括上述A-2项、A-4、A-5、A-6时,表示中继设备可以按照面板(或端口)向网络侧设备上报波束集合信息,例如Panel1的ID、Panel1生成的集合、每个集合的波束数目、每个波束的增益和宽度。
上述第一辅助信息或第二辅助信息包括上述A-3、A-4、A-5、A-6时,表示中继设备可以按照面板组合向网络侧设备上报波束集合信息,例如NCR的转发天线有四个Panel,基站配置Panel#1和Panel#2为Panel组合1,配置Panel#3和Panel#4为Panel组合2, 则NCR可以向基站分别上报Panel组合1和Panel组合2的波束集合,即:Panel组合1的ID、Panel组合1生成的集合、每个集合的波束数目,每个波束的增益和宽度;Panel组合2的ID、Panel组合2生成的集合、每个集合的波束数目,每个波束的增益和宽度。
其中,需要说明的是,当一个波束集合中的波束由面板组合生成时,该集合中的波束的增益由面板组合中所有的面板联合决定。
由上述A-7和A-8项可知,接收波束集合和发送波束集合可以由中继设备分别汇报,或仅汇报发送波束集合,由网络侧设备基于波束互易性(beam correspondence)确定接收波束集合;或仅上报接收波束集合,由网络侧设备基于beam correspondence确定发送波束;其中,这里的beam correspondence,例如为:发送和接收用同一个波束/空域滤波器。
上述A-9项中的“波束集合组的数量信息”可以包括波束集合组的最大数量、最小数量、数量范围中的至少一者。
上述第一辅助信息或第二辅助信息包括上述A-10、A-11、A-12时,表示中继设备可以按面板上报面板形成的波束的信息,例如中继设备包括两个面板,其中Panel#1形成的波束的增益为y1,宽度为z1;Panel#2形成的波束的增益为y2,宽度为z2。
上述第一辅助信息或第二辅助信息包括上述A-13、A-14、A-15时,表示中继设备可以按面板上报端口形成的波束的信息,例如中继设备包括两个端口,其中Port#1形成的波束的增益为y3,宽度为z3;Port#2形成的波束的增益为y4,宽度为z4。
即AL链路上NCR的Panel或Port的参数信息,例如Panel数量、每个Panel的波束增益参数、波束宽度参数等,或者Port的数量、每个Port的波束增益参数、波束宽度参数等,都可以由NCR上报给网络侧设备。
可选地,所述波束集合组的相关信息包括如下中的至少一项:
B-1项:所述波束集合组中每一个波束的标识、所述每一个波束所属的集合的标识、所述每一个波束所属的集合所属的组合的标识;
B-2项:所述波束集合组中每一个集合中的波束的标识、所述每一个集合所属的组合的标识;
B-3项:所述波束集合组中每一个组合中的波束的标识、所述每一个组合的标识;
B-4项:所述波束集合组中每一个波束的标识、所述每一个波束所属的集合的标识;
B-5项:所述波束集合组中每一个集合中的波束的标识;
B-6项:所述波束集合组中每一个组合中的波束的标识。
例如存在两个波束集合组,其中,组合1包括波束集合1(包括波束A、B)、波束集合2(包括波束C、D);组合2包括波束集合3(包括波束E、F);
则中继设备向网络侧设备通知波束集合组的相关信息的方式,或者网络侧设备向中继设备通知波束集合组的相关信息的方式,可以为如下所述的情况一至三中的至少一种:
情况一:
波束A,属于波束集合1,波束集合1属于组合1;
波束B,属于波束集合1,波束集合1属于组合1;
波束C,属于波束集合2,波束集合2属于组合1;
波束D,属于波束集合2,波束集合2属于组合1;

波束E、F,属于波束集合3,波束集合3属于组合2。
情况三:
波束A、B、C、D,属于组合1;
波束E、F,属于组合2。
其中,需要说明的是,如果中继设备不支持多个组合共存(例如预先确定的协议不支持多个组合共存,或者中继设备自身不支持多个组合共存),则不需要通知组合ID。即中继设备不支持多个组合共存的情况下,只能确定一个组合,且不支持的情况下,可以按照上述B-3至B-6项中的至少一项,通知波束集合组的相关信息。
此外,需要说明的是,上述组合的标识为用于标识一组波束集合的第一配置标识;上述集合的标识为形成集合包括的波束的面板的标识,或形成集合包括的波束的端口的标识,或者用于标识一组波束的第二配置标识;上述波束的标识为参考信号(Reference Signals,RS)标识,或者用于标识波束的第三配置标识(例如传输配置指示(Transmission Configuration Indicator,TCI))。
可选地,所述方法还包括:
所述网络侧设备向所述中继设备发送波束指示信息;
其中,所述波束指示信息包括至少一个波束的标识。
其中,上述波束的标识可以包括波束编号、波束关联的RS编号中的至少一者。
此处需要说明的是,无论上述波束集合组由中继设备确定,还是由网络侧设备确定,中继设备都可以向中继设备发送上述波束指示信息。即网络侧设备可以对中继设备的接入链路的波束进行控制,例如通过波束指示信息指示接入链路的接收/发送的波束编号/关联的RS编号,则中继设备可以根据该波束指示信息的指示调整接入链路的波束。进一步地,在本申请实施例中,中继设备可以根据波束指示信息,以及波束集合组的相关信息,来调整接入链路的波束,从而可以实现多波束同时传输。
可选地,如下中的至少一项携带在所述波束指示信息中:
目标波束对应的组合标识;
所述目标波束对应的集合标识;
形成所述目标波束的面板的标识;
形成所述目标波束的端口的标识;
其中,所述目标波束为波束指示信息包括的波束的标识指示的波束。
由此可知,波束指示信息中除了可以包括至少一个波束的标识信息,还可以额外指示出这些波束对应的组合标识、对应的集合标识、形成该波束的面板的标识、形成该波束的端口的标识中的至少一者。
例如基站发送给NCR的波束指示信息中指示了Panel序号,则该波束指示信息中指示的Panel序号表示:基站在配置NCR做波束训练时,可以指示NCR节点使用指定的一个或多个Panel形成的beam做波束训练;在进行数据传输时,则指示使用指定的一个或多个Panel形成的波束进行数据传输。
另外,当一个Panel生成一个波束集合时,这个波束集合中的波束在该集合中的序号等于生成这个波束的beam的编号,例如一个Panel存在4个beam,则(panel1,beam1)指示Panel1生成的集合中的第一个波束。因此,当一个Panel生成一个波束集合时,可以使用(Panel ID,beam index)指示波束。
