  • the receiving end may perform beam measurements multiple times throughout the communication process. Therefore, when the receiving end caches some measurement results, it can first use the existing measurement results to determine candidate beams, or select the candidate beams configured by both transceivers and send a BFR request. If the sender determines that the candidate beam can be used (for example, the measurement value is higher than the threshold value), it can reply to the BFR response. After the receiving end receives the BFR response, it can switch to acceptance of the candidate beam, thereby quickly restoring the communication beam. If the sending end replies with information such as rejection, the normal beam failure recovery process is triggered.
  • the receiving end when the receiving end sends a BFR request, it can directly switch to receiving the candidate beam without waiting for the BFR response. If the receiving end has not received data or agreed signals, the normal beam failure recovery process will be triggered. For the transmitter, after receiving the BFR request information, it can directly switch to the candidate beam. If the sender determines that it cannot communicate using the candidate beam indicated by the receiver, it can send a rejection message, or send a message to trigger the normal beam failure recovery process.
  • Embodiment 3 Determine the bidirectional transmitting beams at the sending and receiving ends
  • Beam failure is usually detected when the terminal serves as the receiving end, so the beam failure recovery process is initiated. This beam failure recovery process may only determine a new transmission beam, but at this time the terminal serving as the receiving end may also serve as the transmitting end. Since obstacles, etc. generally affect the two-way beams at the same time, if the original transmitting beam is still used at this time, the reliability of the communication may not be guaranteed.
  • One method is that the terminal relies on initiating BFR to only determine the transmit beam of the opposite end, and relies on the opposite end to determine its own transmit beam. If it also fails to detect the beam, it will also initiate BFR to determine the appropriate transmit beam. That is, independent of each other.
  • Another method is that when either end of the communication detects beam failure and initiates BFR, it uses the BFR process to simultaneously determine the transmitting beams of both parties. For example, when the receiving end sends a BFR request using a beam scanning mechanism, then when the transmitting end accepts the BFR request, it measures these beams at the same time to determine an optimal transmitting beam for the receiving end. Therefore, the BFR response can also carry the receiving end sending beam information determined by the sending end, which is used to notify the receiving end to use this beam when sending information to communicate with the sending end. In this way, the determination of the bidirectional transmission beam is completed. This process requires the receiving end to perform beam scanning more than once when sending the BFR request.
  • multiple beam scans can be performed until the BFR response information is received.
  • the receiving end can repeatedly send BFR request information multiple times in one beam direction, and then switch to the next direction every preset time.

  • Embodiment 5 Transmission of reference signals for beam training/beam measurement
  • the receiving end When the terminal fails to detect a beam, the receiving end needs to measure the reference signal to select candidate beams and other actions.

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失败恢复或链路失败恢复方法及终端进行详细地说明。
如图2所示,本申请实施例提供一种波束失败恢复或链路失败恢复方法200,该方法可以由第一终端执行,换言之,该方法可以由安装在第一终端的软件或硬件来执行,该波束失败恢复或链路失败恢复方法包括如下步骤。
S202:第一终端根据第二信息确定候选波束。
在sidelink的场景下,第一终端和第二终端在FR2 band上采用波束进行传输时,第一 终端可以根据第二信息确定候选波束。候选波束的个数可以是一个或多个,候选波束用于进行波束失败恢复或链路失败恢复。
可选地,作为一个实施例,第一终端根据第二信息确定候选波束,可以包括以下至少一项:
第一终端在确定波束失败或链路失败的情况下,根据第二信息确定候选波束;
第一终端每隔预设时间段根据第二信息确定候选波束。
也就是说,第一终端根据第二信息确定候选波束的时机可以是在波束失败或链路失败的情况下确定候选波束,和/或,在每次达到预设时间段(life cycle)时确定候选波束。其中,针对每次达到预设时间段时确定候选波束,可以是每达到预设时间段时就可以认为或假设波束失败或链路失败,在认为或假设波束失败或链路失败的情况下根据第二信息确定候选波束。这样,可以在无需对波束是否失败或链路是否失败进行检测的情况下就可以进行波束失败恢复或链路失败恢复,从而可以简化流程,降低终端的操作复杂度,提高波束失败恢复或链路失败恢复的效率。
上述预设时间段可以满足以下至少一项:
预设时间段的长度与波束的宽窄有关;
预设时间段的长度与波束训练的类型有关;
预设时间段的长度与信道占有率或信道繁忙率有关;
预设时间段的长度由协议预定义,或由网络侧配置或预配置,或由第一终端或第二终端配置。
具体而言,预设时间段的长度与波束的宽窄有关可以是,在波束为宽波束的情况下,预设时间段可以设置的长一些,在波束为窄波束的情况下,预设时间段可以设置的短一些,这是因为如果波束是一个宽波束,则可以认为波束失败的可能性较小,或者说波束从对齐变不对齐过程会相对缓慢,因此可以将预设时间段设置的长一些,相对的,如果是窄波束,则可以预设时间段设置的短一些。其中,该预设时间段的具体长度可以根据实际的应用场景确定,这里不做具体限定。
预设时间段的长度与波束训练的类型有关可以是,如果波束是粗略的训练出的一个波束时,则可以认为波束较宽,范围较广,波束失败的可能性较小,或者说波束从对齐变不对齐过程会相对缓慢,因此可以将预设时间段的设置的长一些,相对的,如果波束是精确训练出的一个波束时,则可以认为波束较窄宽,范围较窄,因此可以将预设时间段的设置的短一些。其中,该预设时间段的具体长度可以根据实际的应用场景确定,这里不做具体限定。
预设时间段的长度与信道占有率(Channel Occupancy Ratio,CR)或信道繁忙率(Channel Busy Ratio,CBR)相关可以是,在CR或CBR较高的情况下,可以将预设时间段的设置的短一些,此时由于系统拥塞程度相对较高,更容易发生波束失败或链路失败;相对的,在CR或CBR较低的情况下,可以将预设时间段的设置的长一些,具体长度可以根据实际的应用场景确定,这里不做具体限定。
上述第二信息可以是第一终端已有的或最新的信息,可选地,作为一个实施例,该第二信息可以包括以下至少一项:
预先对多个波束进行测量得到的测量信息,或缓存的波束的测量信息;
波束的配置或预配置信息;
第一终端和第二终端最新确定或协商的波束信息。
预先测量或缓存的测量信息可以是第一终端通过对用于波束训练的参考信号进行测量后得到,或者是对用于波束测量的参考信号进行测量后得到。波束的配置或预配置信息可以是网络侧对波束的配置或预配置信息,或者也可以是第一终端或第二终端对波束的配置或预配置信息。比如,第二终端预配置当第一终端或第二终端自己检测到波束失败或链路失败后,就根据第一终端发送的波束恢复请求或直接切换到特定的波束上;第一终端和第二终端最新确定或协商的波束信息,比如可以是,第一终端和第二终端在通信的过程中,可以每隔一段时间就确定或协商候选的收发波束,这些收发波束的信息即为第一终端和第二终端最新确定或协商的波束信息。
在第二信息包括以上至少一项的情况下,第一终端在根据第二信息确定候选波束时,可以包括以下至少一项:
根据多个波束的测量信息,从多个波束中选择候选波束,候选波束的测量值高于多个波束中的其他波束;
将配置或预配置信息中配置的波束确定为候选波束;
将第一终端和第二终端最新确定或协商的波束确定为候选波束。
其中,波束的测量信息可以是对波束的对应参考信号的测量值,该测量值可以是信号与干扰加噪声比(Signal to Interference and Noise Ratio,SINR)、信噪比(Signal-to-Noise Ratio,SNR)、参考信号接收功率(Reference Signal Receiving Power,RSRP)以及接收信号强度指示(Received Signal Strength Indication,RSSI)中的至少一项。
S204:第一终端向第二终端发送第一信息,第一信息为基于候选波束进行波束失败恢复或链路失败恢复的信息。
第一终端在根据第二信息确定候选波束后,可以向第一终端发送第一信息,该第一信 息可以是基于候选波束进行波束失败恢复或链路失败恢复的信息。
可选地,作为一个实施例,第一信息可以包括以下至少一项:
候选波束的标识;
第一终端的标识;
波束切换时刻。
候选波束的标识可以是候选波束的序号,参考信号ID,传输配置指示(Transmission Configuration Indication,TCI)state,准共址(Quasi-CoLocation,QCL)信息,资源标识(比如发送的时域,频域或码域的标识)等。
波束切换时刻可以用于告知第二终端从什么时候开始用新的波束(即候选波束)进行通信。波束切换时刻可以是绝对时间,也可以是相对时间,比如相对于第一终端发送第一信息的时刻。可选地,该波束切换时刻可以是第一终端期望第二终端切换发送或接收波束的最晚时刻,在这种情况下,第一终端可以不用通过接收第二终端的响应来判断第二终端是否成功接收到第一信息并基于第一信息指示的候选波束进行波束切换(此时的候选波束的数量为一个),而是通过此波束切换时刻后是否可以用新的波束接收到第二终端发送的数据或信息来判断,这样,可以缩短第一终端等待第二终端的响应的时间及相关过程的时间,从而提高波束失败恢复的效率。
可选地,作为一个实施例,第一信息可以是波束失败恢复请求(Beam Failure Recovery request,BFR request)或链路失败恢复请求(Link Failure Recovery request,LFR request)。也就是说,第一终端可以将第一信息作为请求信息发送给第二终端。
可选地,作为一个实施例,第一终端向第二终端发送第一信息,可以包括:
第一终端在第一资源上发送第一信息。
第一资源可以由协议预定义,或由网络侧配置或预配置,或由第一终端或第二终端选择或配置。例如,第一资源可以是资源池的特定广播区域,或每隔一段时间的T个时隙(slot),或特定频率位置的一定数量的物理资源块(Physical Resource Block,PRB)等。
可选地,第一资源可以满足以下至少一项:
第一资源时分复用(Time Division Multiplexing,TDM),或频分复用(Frequency Division Multiplexing,FDM),或码分复用(Code Division Multiple,CDM);即不同的终端可以通过不同的资源进行区分;
第一资源由终端协作信息通知给第二终端。
在第一资源为TDM资源或FDM资源或CDM资源的情况下,可以避免收发两端(即第一终端和第二终端)同时在进行波束失败检测的情况下,发送或接收的与波束失败恢复 或链路失败恢复相关的信令之间发生冲突。
第一资源由终端协作信息通知给第二终端,比如可以是,第一资源可以作为不推荐(non-preferred)资源通知给第二终端。在第一资源由终端协作信息通知给第二终端的情况下,可以避免出现收发两端(即第一终端和第二终端)因半双工等原因无法接收与波束失败恢复或链路失败恢复相关信令的情况。
可选地,作为一个实施例,第一终端在向第二终端发送第一信息后,还包括以下任一项:
在波束切换时刻或波束切换时刻之前,将接收波束切换至与候选波束对应的接收波束上;
接收第二终端的第一响应;
在接收到第二终端的第一响应的情况下,将接收波束切换至与候选波束对应的接收波束上;
在接收到所第二终端的第一响应且第一响应中包含确认信息的情况下,将接收波束切换至与候选波束对应的接收波束上,确认信息用于表征第二终端确认将原通信波束切换为候选波束;
在接收到第二终端的第一响应且第一响应中包含拒绝信息的情况下,进行波束测量或波束训练,拒绝信息用于表征第二终端拒绝将原通信波束切换为候选波束。
本实施例中,第一终端在向第二终端发送第一信息后,可以在不等待接收第二终端的第一响应的情况下进行波束切换(即将接收波束切换为与候选波束对应的接收波束上),也可以在等待接收到第二终端的第一响应的情况下再确认是否进行波束切换。以下将分别针对这两种情况进行说明。
针对第一终端不等待接收第一响应就可以进行波束切换的情况,具体的,在候选波束的数量为一个的情况下,第一终端在将第一信息发送给第二终端后,可以在第一信息中指示的波束切换时刻(若有)或该波束切换时刻之前,将自己的接收波束切换至与候选波束对应的接收波束上,即第一终端可以在无需等待接收第二终端的响应的情况下就进行波束切换。此时的接收波束是特定的波束,预配置的波束,或者根据已有的波束测量信息确定的接收波束。针对第二终端而言,第二终端在接收到第一信息后,可以确认是否进行波束切换,即是否将发送波束切换至候选波束。比如可以判断候选波束的通信质量是否高于门限值,若是则可以确认进行波束切换并将发送波束切换至候选波束,若否,则可以拒绝进行波束切换。第二终端在确认进行波束切换的情况下,可以将原通信波束(即原发送波束)切换为候选波束,并通过候选波束向第一终端发送数据或约定信号,或者通过波束扫描等 方式发送约定信号,这样第一终端可以通过接收到第二终端发送的数据或约定信号,确认第二终端同意进行波束切换,并针对切换后的发送波束的对应参考信号进行测量,从而确定一个合适的接收波束,由此可以实现波束失败恢复或链路失败恢复。由于在整个波束失败恢复或链路失败恢复的过程中,第一终端可以在无需等待第二终端的响应的情况下完成波束切换,因此,可以缩短等待响应的时间及相关过程的时间,提高波束失败恢复的效率。
第二终端在确认不进行波束切换的情况下,即拒绝进行波束切换的情况下,可以不进行波束切换,也不使用候选波束向第一终端发送数据或约定信号,这样,在设定时间(可以由协议预定义,或由网络侧配置或预配置,或由第一终端或第二终端配置)后,第一终端在通过候选波束对应的接收波束没有接收到第二终端的数据或约定信号的情况下,可以确认第二终端拒绝了将发送波束切换为候选波束,此时可以认为波束失败恢复失败或链路失败恢复失败。在波束失败恢复失败或链路失败恢复失败的情况下,第一终端可以进行波束测量或波束训练,以重新确定候选波束并基于重新确定的候选波束进行波束失败恢复或链路失败恢复。其中,第一终端通过波束测量的方式进行波束失败恢复或链路失败恢复的具体实现可以参见图3所示的实施例,通过波束训练的方式进行波束失败恢复或链路失败恢复的具体实现可以参见图4所示的实施例,这里都不再详细说明。
针对第一终端等待接收第一响应并根据第一响应确认是否进行波束切换的情况,可选地,第一终端接收到的第一响应可以包括以下至少一项:
确认信息,确认信息用于确认将原通信波束切换为候选波束;
拒绝信息,拒绝信息用于拒绝将原发送波束切换为候选波束(或者是用于表征继续使用当前波束进行通信的信息);
目标波束的波束信息,目标波束为第二终端从候选波束中选择的波束;
第一终端的发送波束的波束信息,第一终端的发送波束由第二终端进行波束测量后确定,适用于确定第一终端和第二终端双向的发送波束的场景;
波束切换时刻,用于告知第一终端从什么时候开始用新的波束进行通信,或者从什么时候开始可以针对发送波束进行测量,从而确定合适的接收波束。可以是绝对时间也可以是相对时间。
具体地,第一终端在向第二终端发送第一信息后,第二终端在接收到第一信息时,在候选波束的数量为一个的情况下,可以根据候选波束的通信质量等因素确认是否将发送波束切换至候选波束。第二终端在确认进行波束切换的情况下,可以在第一信息指示的波束接收时刻(若有)或波束切换时刻之前进行波束切换,同时还可以向第一终端发送第一响应,第一终端在接收到该第一响应后,可以确认第二终端同意进行波束切换,然后第一终 端可以确定一个新的接收波束,并在第一信息指示的波束切换时刻或波束切换时刻之前将接收波束切换至与该新的接收波束上,由此可以实现波束失败恢复和链路失败恢复。由于在整个波束失败恢复或链路失败恢复的过程中,第一终端可以根据已有信息确定候选波束进而基于候选波束实现波束失败恢复或链路失败恢复,因此,可以缩短通过波束测量或波束训练确定候选波束的时间,提高波束失败恢复或链路失败恢复的效率。第二终端在拒绝进行波束切换的情况下,可以不进行波束切换,同时还可以向第一终端发送包含拒绝信息的第一响应,第一终端在接收到该第一响应后,可以确认第二终端拒绝了将发送波束切换为候选波束,此时,第一终端可以进行波束测量或波束训练,以重新确定候选波束并基于重新确定的候选波束进行波束失败恢复或链路失败恢复。其中,第一终端通过波束测量的方式进行波束失败恢复或链路失败恢复的具体实现可以参见图3所示的实施例,通过波束训练的方式进行波束失败恢复或链路失败恢复的具体实现可以参见图4所示的实施例,这里都不再详细说明。
在候选波束的数量为多个的情况下,第二终端在接收到第一信息后,可以根据候选波束的通信质量等因素确认多个候选波束中是否存在合适的波束,比如是否存在通信质量较好的波束,若存在,则第二终端可以确认进行波束切换,并将原通信波束切换至该波束(后续可以称为目标波束),若不存在,则第二终端可以拒绝进行波束切换。第二终端在确认进行波束切换的情况下,可以在第一信息指示的波束接收时刻(若有)或波束切换时刻之前进行波束切换,同时还可以向第一终端发送包含目标波束的波束信息(可选地,可以包含波束切换时刻)的第一响应,第一终端在接收到该第一响应后,可以确认第二终端同意进行波束切换并基于目标波束的波束信息确认第二终端切换后的目标波束。之后,第一终端通过波束测量等过程确定一个合适的目标波束的接收波束。第一终端可以在第一信息指示的波束切换时刻(若有)或波束切换时刻之前将接收波束切换至与目标波束对应的接收波束上,或者,可以在第一响应指示的波束切换时刻(若有)或波束切换时刻之前将接收波束切换至与目标波束对应的接收波束上,由此可以实现波束失败恢复和链路失败恢复。由于在整个波束失败恢复或链路失败恢复的过程中,第一终端可以根据已有信息确定候选波束进而基于候选波束实现波束失败恢复或链路失败恢复,因此,可以缩短通过波束测量或波束训练确定候选波束的时间,提高了波束失败恢复或链路失败恢复的效率。
第二终端在拒绝进行波束切换的情况下,可以不进行波束切换,同时还可以向第一终端发送包含拒绝信息的第一响应,第一终端在接收到该第一响应后,可以确认第二终端拒绝基于候选波束进行波束切换,此时,第一终端可以进行波束测量或波束训练,以重新确定候选波束并基于重新确定的候选波束进行波束失败恢复或链路失败恢复。其中,第一终 端通过波束测量的方式进行波束失败恢复或链路失败恢复的具体实现可以参见图3所示的实施例,通过波束训练的方式进行波束失败恢复或链路失败恢复的具体实现可以参见图4所示的实施例,这里都不再详细说明。
可选地,作为一个实施例,第一终端在接收第一响应时,可以通过以下至少一项进行接收:
通过候选波束对应的波束接收第一响应;
通过全向波束接收第一响应;
通过波束扫描的方式接收第一响应;
通过第二波束接收第一响应,第二波束为第二终端接收第一信息时使用的波束所对应的波束,第二波束的测量值大于预设阈值,该预设阈值可以协议预定义,或由网络侧配置或预配置,或由第一终端或第二终端配置;
接收第二终端发送的物理旁链路反馈信道(Physical Sidelink Feedback Channel,PSFCH),PSFCH中承载有第一响应;
接收第二终端发送的物理旁链路共享信道(Physical Sidelink Shared Channel,PSSCH)或物理旁链路控制信道(Physical Sidelink Control Channel,PSCCH),PSSCH或PSCCH中承载有第一响应。
可选地,第一终端接收第一响应的具体方式可以和第二终端发送第一响应的具体方式相对应。比如,第二终端通过候选波束发送第一响应,则第一终端可以通过候选波束对应的波束接收第一响应。所述候选波束对应的波束可以是候选波束内参考信号的接收波束。
可选地,在通过接收PSFCH接收第一响应的情况下,具体可以是第一终端接收第二终端在PSFCH的特定位置上发送的否定应答(Negative Acknowledgement,NACK)信号或ACK信号,NACK信号或ACK信号可以表征第一响应。此PSFCH特定位置可以是网络配置/预配置,或终端配置的特定PRB集合。
可选地,在第一响应中包含拒绝信息的情况下,第二终端可以通过波束扫描的方式发送第一响应,相应的,第一终端可以通过波束扫描的方式接收第一响应。这样,第一终端在接收第一响应后,在确定第二终端拒绝进行波束切换的情况下,可以进行波束测量或波束训练,以便根据测量结果或训练结果重新确定候选波束,进而基于新的候选波束进行波束失败恢复或链路失败恢复。
在本申请实施例中,第一终端和第二终端在进行传输时,第一终端可以根据第二信息确定候选波束并将候选波束通过第一信息指示给第二终端。这样,通过定义如何进行波束失败恢复或链路失败恢复,可以使得终端在波束失败或链路失败的情况下,可以基于波束 失败恢复或链路失败恢复的方法成功恢复波束或链路,保障通信的可靠性和连续性。
如图3所示,本申请实施例提供一种波束失败恢复或链路失败恢复方法300,该方法可以由第一终端执行,换言之,该方法可以由安装在第一终端的软件或硬件来执行,该波束失败恢复或链路失败恢复方法包括如下步骤。
S302:第一终端进行波束测量。
在sidelink的场景下,第一终端和第二终端在FR2 band上采用波束进行传输时,第一终端可以进行波束测量。其中,波束测量的目的可以是确定候选波束,候选波束的个数可以是一个或多个,候选波束用于进行波束失败恢复或链路失败恢复。
可选地,作为一个实施例,第一终端进行波束测量,可以包括以下至少一项:
第一终端在确定波束失败或链路失败的情况下,进行波束测量;
第一终端每隔预设时间段进行波束测量。
也就是说,第一终端进行波束测量的时机可以是在波束失败或链路失败的情况下进行波束测量,和/或,在每次达到预设时间段(life cycle)时进行波束测量。其中,针对每次达到预设时间段时进行波束测量,可以是每达到预设时间段时就可以认为或假设波束失败或链路失败,在认为或假设波束失败或链路失败的情况下进行波束测量。这样,可以在无需对波束是否失败或链路是否失败进行检测的情况下就可以进行波束失败恢复或链路失败恢复,从而可以简化流程,降低终端的操作复杂度,提高波束失败恢复或链路失败恢复的效率。
上述预设时间段可以满足以下至少一项:
预设时间段的长度与波束的宽窄有关;
预设时间段的长度与波束训练的类型有关;
预设时间段的长度与信道占有率或信道繁忙率有关;
预设时间段的长度由协议预定义,或由网络侧配置或预配置,或由第一终端或第二终端配置。
具体而言,预设时间段的长度与波束的宽窄有关可以是,在波束为宽波束的情况下,预设时间段可以设置的长一些,在波束为窄波束的情况下,预设时间段可以设置的短一些,这是因为如果波束是一个宽波束,则可以认为波束失败的可能性较小,或者说波束从对齐变不对齐过程会相对缓慢,因此可以将预设时间段设置的长一些,相对的,如果是窄波束,则可以预设时间段设置的短一些。其中,该预设时间段的具体长度可以根据实际的应用场景确定,这里不做具体限定。
预设时间段的长度与波束训练的类型有关可以是,如果波束是粗略的训练出的一个波 束时,则可以认为波束较宽,范围较广,波束失败的可能性较小,或者说波束从对齐变不对齐过程会相对缓慢,因此可以将预设时间段的设置的长一些,相对的,如果波束是精确训练出的一个波束时,则可以认为波束较窄宽,范围较窄,因此可以将预设时间段的设置的短一些。其中,该预设时间段的具体长度可以根据实际的应用场景确定,这里不做具体限定。
预设时间段的长度与CR或CBR相关可以是,在CR或CBR较高的情况下,可以将预设时间段的设置的短一些,此时由于系统拥塞程度相对较高,更容易发生波束失败或链路失败;相对的,在CR或CBR较低的情况下,可以将预设时间段的设置的长一些,具体长度可以根据实际的应用场景确定,这里不做具体限定。
可选地,作为一个实施例,第一终端在进行波束测量时,可以包括以下至少一项:
对第一波束进行波束测量,即对第一波束的参考信号进行测量,第一波束由网络侧配置或预配置,或由第一终端配置或预配置,或由第二终端配置或预配置;

对第二终端根据第三请求发送的参考信号进行测量,第三请求由第一终端在进行波束测量之前发送,第三请求用于请求第二终端发送参考信号。
也就是说,第一终端在进行波束测量时,可以对配置或预配置的波束进行波束测量,和/或,基于第二终端发送的多个波束的参考信号对相应的多个波束进行波束测量。其中,参考信号可以是第二终端周期性发送的参考信号,当第一终端需要进行波束测量时,可以在无需触发第二终端发送参考信号的情况下,就可以对参考信号进行测量,以实现对参考信号对应的波束的测量。或者,参考信号也可以是由第一终端触发第二终端发送的参考信号。具体地,第一终端在需要进行波束测量时,可以向第二终端发送用于请求第二终端发送参考信号的第三请求(可以是BFR request),第二终端接收到第三请求后,可以向第一终端发送参考信号,第一终端可以对第二终端发送的参考信号进行测量,从而实现对参考信号对应的波束的测量。可选地,第二终端发送的参考信号可以是信道状态信息参考信号(Channel State Information-Reference Signals,CSI-RS)和/或同步信号块(Synchronization Signal Block,SSB)等。

S304:第一终端根据测量结果确定候选波束。
第一终端在进行波束测量后,可以得到多个波束的测量信息。基于多个波束的测量信息,第一终端可以从中确定一个或多个通信质量较好的候选波束。
S306:第一终端向第二终端发送第一请求,第一请求用于请求基于候选波束进行波束失败恢复或链路失败恢复。

进行波束扫描直至接收到第二终端发送的第一响应;
在一个方向发送第一请求后切换至另一个方向,每个方向上发送M次第一请求直至接收到第二终端发送的第一响应,M为大于等于1的整数。
也就是说,第一终端在通过波束扫描的方式发送第一请求时,可以是每次扫描时都在多个波束方向上进行,即每次扫描都进行多个波束方向上的扫描,或者,也可以在一个波束方向上进行M次扫描后再切换到下一个波束方向上进行M次扫描,如此在多个波束方向上进行循环扫描,或者,也可以是其他扫描方式。其中,不论哪种波束扫描方式,都可以在接收到第二终端的第一响应时停止扫描。
可选地,作为一个实施例,第一终端在将第一请求承载在PSFCH上发送给第二终端时,可以包括:
在PSFCH的特定位置上向第二终端发送ACK信号或NACK信号,ACK信号或NACK信号可以表征第一请求。第二终端在特定位置上检测到ACK信号或NACK信号,就认为第一终端发起了波束失败恢复或链路失败恢复过程。
可选地,作为一个实施例,第一终端向第二终端发送第一请求后,还可以包括以下至少一项:
在发送第一请求的K个时隙后检测第一响应;
接收第二终端发送的对第一请求的第一响应。
第一终端在向第二终端发送第一请求后,第二终端可以向第一终端发送第一响应。针对第一终端而言,第一终端可以在发送第一请求的K个时隙后检测第一响应,也可以在发送第一请求后检测并接收第一响应。其中,K的取值可以由协议预定义,或由网络侧配置或预配置,或由第一终端或第二终端配置。
可选地,作为一个实施例,第二终端向第一终端发送的第一响应,即第一终端检测或接收到的第一响应可以包括以下至少一项:
确认信息,确认信息用于确认将原通信波束切换为候选波束;
拒绝信息,拒绝信息用于拒绝将原发送波束切换为候选波束(或者是用于表征继续使 用当前波束进行通信的信息);
目标波束的波束信息,目标波束为第二终端从候选波束中选择的波束;
第一终端的发送波束的波束信息,第一终端的发送波束由第二终端进行波束测量后确定,适用于确定第一终端和第二终端双向的发送波束的场景;
波束切换时刻,用于告知第一终端从什么时候开始用新的波束进行通信,或者从什么时候开始可以针对发送波束进行测量,从而确定合适的接收波束。可以是绝对时间也可以是相对时间。
具体地,第一终端在向第二终端发送第一请求后,第二终端在接收到第一请求时,在候选波束的数量为一个的情况下,可以根据候选波束的通信质量等因素确认是否将发送波束切换至候选波束。第二终端在确认进行波束切换的情况下,可以在第一请求指示的波束接收时刻(若有)或波束切换时刻之前进行波束切换,同时还可以向第一终端发送第一响应,第一终端在接收到该第一响应后,可以确认第二终端同意进行波束切换,然后第一终端可以确定一个新的接收波束,并在第一请求指示的波束切换时刻或波束切换时刻之前将接收波束切换至该新的接收波束上,由此可以实现波束失败恢复和链路失败恢复。第二终端在拒绝进行波束切换的情况下,可以不进行波束切换,同时还可以向第一终端发送包含拒绝信息的第一响应,第一终端在接收到该第一响应后,可以确认第二终端拒绝了将发送波束切换为候选波束,此时,第一终端可以进行波束测量(即返回执行S302)或波束训练,以重新确定候选波束并基于重新确定的候选波束进行波束失败恢复或链路失败恢复。其中,第一终端通过波束训练的方式进行波束失败恢复或链路失败恢复的具体实现可以参见图4所示的实施例,这里都不再详细说明。
在候选波束的数量为多个的情况下,第二终端在接收到第一请求后,可以根据候选波束的通信质量等因素确认多个候选波束中是否存在合适的波束,比如是否存在通信质量较好的波束,若存在,则第二终端可以确认进行波束切换,并将原通信波束切换至该波束(后续可以称为目标波束),若不存在,则第二终端可以拒绝进行波束切换。或者,在第一终端通过波束扫描的方式发送第一请求的情况下,第二终端可以通过波束测量的方式确认最终选择的目标波束。
第二终端在确认进行波束切换的情况下,可以在第一请求指示的波束接收时刻(若有)或波束切换时刻之前进行波束切换,同时还可以向第一终端发送包含目标波束的波束信息(可选地,可以包含波束切换时刻)的第一响应,第一终端在接收到该第一响应后,可以确认第二终端同意进行波束切换并基于目标波束的波束信息确认第二终端切换后的目标波束。之后,第一终端通过波束测量等过程确定一个合适的目标波束的接收波束。第一终 端可以在第一请求指示的波束切换时刻(若有)或波束切换时刻之前将接收波束切换至与目标波束对应的接收波束上,或者,可以在第一响应指示的波束切换时刻(若有)或波束切换时刻之前将接收波束切换至与目标波束对应的接收波束上,由此可以实现波束失败恢复和链路失败恢复。
第二终端在拒绝进行波束切换的情况下,可以不进行波束切换,同时还可以向第一终端发送包含拒绝信息的第一响应,第一终端在接收到该第一响应后,可以确认第二终端拒绝基于候选波束进行波束切换,此时,第一终端可以进行波束测量(即返回执行S302)或波束训练,以重新确定候选波束并基于重新确定的候选波束进行波束失败恢复或链路失败恢复。其中,第一终端通过波束训练的方式进行波束失败恢复或链路失败恢复的具体实现可以参见图4所示的实施例,这里都不再详细说明。
可选地,在确定第一终端和第二终端双向的发送波束的场景下,第二终端还可以在第一响应中携带第一终端的发送波束的波束信息。具体地,第一终端在发送第一请求时,可以通过波束扫描的方式发送第一请求,第二终端在接收到第一请求后,除了基于上述记载的方法确认是否进行波束切换之外,还可以对第一终端通过波束扫描发送第一请求进行测量,根据测量结果确定第一终端的发送波束(即第一终端的候选波束),并将发送波束的波束信息携带在第一响应中发送给第一终端,第一终端可以根据第一响应中携带的发送波束的波束信息确认是否对自己的发送波束进行切换,从而实现对第一终端和第二终端双方的发送波束进行切换的目的。这样,在通信的双向都容易发生波束失败或链路失败的场景下,第一终端和第二终端可以无需独立发送用于进行波束失败恢复或链路失败恢复的请求或者说发起两个波束失败恢复或链路失败恢复的流程。
第二终端在向第一终端发送第一响应后,第一终端可以接收第一响应。其中,可选地,第一终端可以通过以下至少一项接收第一响应:
通过候选波束对应的波束接收第一响应;
通过全向波束接收第一响应;
通过波束扫描的方式接收第一响应;
通过第二波束接收第一响应,第二波束为第二终端接收第一请求时使用的波束所对应的波束,第二波束的测量值大于预设阈值;
接收第二终端发送的PSFCH,PSFCH中承载有第一响应;
接收第二终端发送的PSSCH或PSCCH,PSSCH或PSCCH中承载有第一响应。
可选地,第一终端接收第一响应的具体方式可以和第二终端发送第一响应的具体方式相对应。比如,第二终端通过候选波束发送第一响应,则第一终端可以通过候选波束对应 的波束接收第一响应。所述候选波束对应的波束可以是候选波束内参考信号的接收波束。
可选地,在通过接收PSFCH接收第一响应的情况下,具体可以是第一终端接收第二终端在PSFCH的特定位置上发送的NACK信号或ACK信号,NACK信号或ACK信号表征第一响应。此PSFCH特定位置可以是网络配置/预配置,或终端配置的特定PRB集合。
可选地,在第一响应中包含拒绝信息的情况下,第二终端可以通过波束扫描的方式发送第一响应,相应的,第一终端可以通过波束扫描的方式接收第一响应。这样,第一终端在接收第一响应后,在确定第二终端拒绝进行波束切换的情况下,可以进行波束测量或波束训练,以便根据测量结果或训练结果重新确定候选波束,进而基于新的候选波束进行波束失败恢复或链路失败恢复。
第一终端在接收到第一响应后,可选地,还可以包括以下至少一项:
确定与新的通信波束对应的接收波束;
切换到新的接收波束;
切换到新的发送波束;
重新进行波束测量或波束训练。
具体地,在第二终端确认进行波束切换情况下,第一终端在接收到第一响应后,可以确定与新的通信波束对应的接收波束。比如,第二终端在发送第一响应后,第一终端可以对通过类似波束扫描的方式采用多个接收波束接收第一响应,对第一响应对应的参考信号进行测量,根据测量结果确定与新的通信波束对应的接收波束。在确定新的接收波束后,第一终端可以在波束切换时刻(可以是第一请求或第一响应中指示的波束切换时刻)或波束切换时刻之前将接收波束切换到新的接收波束上。
在第二终端发送的第一响应中包含第一终端的发送波束的波束信息的情况下,第一终端在接收到第一响应后,可以在切换时刻(可以是第一响应中指示的波束切换时刻)或波束切换时刻之前波束将自己的发送波束切换到新的发送波束上,即切换到第一响应中指示的发送波束上。
在第二终端发送的第一响应中包含拒绝信息的情况下,第一终端在接收到第一响应后,可以确认第二终端拒绝基于候选波束进行波束切换,此时,第一终端可以重新进行波束测量(即返回执行S302)或波束训练,以重新确定候选波束并基于重新确定的候选波束进行波束失败恢复或链路失败恢复。其中,第一终端通过波束训练的方式进行波束失败恢复或链路失败恢复的具体实现可以参见图4所示的实施例,这里都不再详细说明。
可选地,作为一个实施例,第一终端在接收第一响应时,可能存在因为各种原因没有 接收到第一响应的情况。比如,第一终端在发送第一请求后的X个时隙(大于第一终端检测第一响应时的K个时隙)内仍没有接收到第一响应。在这种情况下,第一终端可以执行以下至少一项操作:
重复向第二终端发送第一请求;
通过波束扫描的方式发送第一请求;
提高第一请求的发送功率。
考虑到第一终端没有接收到第一响应的原因可能第二终端没有接收到第一请求,或者是之前对第一请求的发送方式不易被第二终端检测到,或者也可能是第一请求的发送功率较低导致第二终端没有接收到第一请求,进而导致第二终端无法反馈第一响应,第一终端也就无法接收到第一响应,因此,第一终端在没有接收到第一响应的情况下,可以通过重复发送第一请求、通过波束扫描的方式发送第一请求以及提高第一请求的发送功率中的至少一种方式重新发送第一请求,直至接收到第一响应。其中,第一终端在重复发送第一请求或使用更高的发送功率发送第一请求时,可以通过波束扫描的方式、全向波束、原通信波束、候选波束对应的波束中的至少一项进行发送,或者将第一请求承载在PSFCH、PSSCH和/或PSCCH中发送给第二终端。

高于基于旁链路路径损耗确定的传输功率;
低于基于下行路径损耗确定的传输功率;
不基于旁链路路径损耗的功率控制机制发送第一请求;
在发送第一请求的X个时隙内没有接收到第一响应的情况下,再次发送第一请求时的发送功率提高T个dbm。
通过以上至少一项中的功率发送第一响应,可以提高第一响应的发送功率,进而提高传输可靠性。
在本申请实施例中,第一终端和第二终端在进行传输时,第一终端可以根据波束测量结果确定候选波束并请求第二终端基于候选波束进行波束失败恢复或链路失败恢复。这样,通过定义如何进行波束失败恢复或链路失败恢复,可以使得终端在波束失败或链路失败的情况下,可以基于波束失败恢复或链路失败恢复的方法成功恢复波束或链路,保障通信的可靠性和连续性。
如图4所示,本申请实施例提供一种波束失败恢复或链路失败恢复方法400,该方法可以由第一终端执行,换言之,该方法可以由安装在第一终端的软件或硬件来执行,该波 束失败恢复或链路失败恢复方法包括如下步骤。
S402:第一终端进行波束训练。
在sidelink的场景下,第一终端和第二终端在FR2 band上采用波束进行传输时,第一终端可以进行波束训练。其中,波束训练的目的可以是确定候选波束,候选波束的个数可以是一个,候选波束用于进行波束失败恢复或链路失败恢复。
可选地,作为一个实施例,第一终端进行波束训练,可以包括以下至少一项:

第一终端每隔预设时间段进行波束训练。
也就是说,第一终端进行波束训练的时机可以是在波束失败或链路失败的情况下进行波束测量,和/或,在每次达到预设时间段(life cycle)时进行波束训练。其中,针对每次达到预设时间段时进行波束训练,可以是每达到预设时间段时就可以认为或假设波束失败或链路失败,在认为或假设波束失败或链路失败的情况下进行波束训练。这样,可以在无需对波束是否失败或链路是否失败进行检测的情况下就可以进行波束失败恢复或链路失败恢复,从而可以简化流程,降低终端的操作复杂度,提高波束失败恢复或链路失败恢复的效率。
上述预设时间段可以满足以下至少一项:

具体而言,预设时间段的长度与波束的宽窄有关可以是,在波束为宽波束的情况下,预设时间段可以设置的长一些,在波束为窄波束的情况下,预设时间段可以设置的短一些,这是因为如果波束是一个宽波束,则可以认为波束失败的可能性较小,或者说波束从对齐变不对齐过程会相对缓慢,因此可以将预设时间段设置的长一些,相对的,如果是窄波束,则可以预设时间段设置的短一些。其中,该预设时间段的具体长度可以根据实际的应用场景确定,这里不做具体限定。
预设时间段的长度与波束训练的类型有关可以是,如果波束是粗略的训练出的一个波束时,则可以认为波束较宽,范围较广,波束失败的可能性较小,或者说波束从对齐变不对齐过程会相对缓慢,因此可以将预设时间段的设置的长一些,相对的,如果波束是精确训练出的一个波束时,则可以认为波束较窄宽,范围较窄,因此可以将预设时间段的设置 的短一些。其中,该预设时间段的具体长度可以根据实际的应用场景确定,这里不做具体限定。
预设时间段的长度与CR或CBR相关可以是,在CR或CBR较高的情况下,可以将预设时间段的设置的短一些,此时由于系统拥塞程度相对较高,更容易发生波束失败或链路失败;相对的,在CR或CBR较低的情况下,可以将预设时间段的设置的长一些,具体长度可以根据实际的应用场景确定,这里不做具体限定。
可选地,作为一个实施例,第一终端进行波束训练,还可以包括:

也就是说,第一终端进行波束训练时,可以基于第二终端发送的用于进行波束训练的参考信号进行波束训练。该参考信号可是CRI-RS或SSB等。
可选地,参考信号可以是周期性的信号,具体可以由第二终端周期性发送。第二终端周期性发送参考信号的具体实现方式可以参见图8所示的实施例,这里不再重复说明。可选地,参考信号的发送周期由协议预定义,或由网络侧配置或预配置,或由第一终端或第二终端配置或指示。可选地,参考信号中还可以包括原通信波束对应的参考信号,这样第一终端在进行波束训练时,可以对原通信波束进行测量。
S404:第一终端根据训练结果确定候选波束。
第一终端在进行对第二终端发送的波束训练信号进行测量后,可以得到多个波束的测量信息。基于多个波束的测量信息,第一终端可以从中确定一个通信质量较好的候选波束。
S406:第一终端向第二终端发送第二请求,第二请求用于请求基于候选波束进行波束切换。

波束切换时刻可以用于告知第二终端从什么时候开始用新的波束(即候选波束)进行通信。波束切换时刻可以是绝对时间,也可以是相对时间,比如相对于第一终端发送第一 请求的时刻。
候选波束的测量结果,比如可以是候选波束的排序、测量值大于预设阈值的候选波束的标识或数量等。
第一终端在向第二终端发送的第二请求时,可选地,可以包括以下至少一项:
通过波束扫描的方式向第二终端发送第二请求;
通过全向波束向第二终端发送第二请求;
通过原通信波束向第二终端发送第二请求;
通过候选波束对应的波束向第二终端发送第二请求;
将第二请求承载在PSFCH上发送给第二终端;
将第二请求承载在PSSCH和/或PSCCH上发送给第二终端。
上述通过波束扫描的方式发送第二请求可以用于确定第一终端和第二终端双方的发送波束的场景。具体地,第一终端通过波束扫描的方式向第二终端发送第二请求,以请求第二终端对自己的发送波束进行切换,同时,第二终端可以对第一终端通过波束扫描发送的第二请求进行测量,根据测量结果确定候选波束,然后基于候选波束向第一终端发送请求,以请求第一终端对自己的发送波束进行切换,从而实现对第一终端和第二终端双方的发送波束进行切换的目的。
可选地,第一终端通过波束扫描的方式向第二终端发送第二请求时,可以是每次扫描时都在多个波束方向上进行,即每次扫描都进行多个波束方向上的扫描,或者,也可以在一个波束方向上进行M次扫描后再切换到下一个波束方向上进行M次扫描,如此在多个波束方向上进行循环扫描,或者,也可以是其他扫描方式。
可选地,作为一个实施例,第一终端将第二请求承载在PSFCH上发送给第二终端,可以包括:
在PSFCH的特定位置上向第二终端发送ACK信号或NACK信号,ACK信号或所NACK信号表征第二请求。
可选地,作为一个实施例,第一终端向第二终端发送第二请求后,还可以包括:
接收第二终端通过候选波束发送的参考信号;
根据对参考信号的测量结果确定与候选波束对应的接收波束。
具体地,第二终端在接收到第二请求后,在确认进行波束切换的情况下,可以在第二请求指示的波束切换时刻或波束切换时刻之前,将自己的发送波束切换为第二请求指示的候选波束。之后,第二终端可以通过候选波束(即新的通信波束)向第一终端发送参考信号,第一终端可以对参考信号进行测量,并根据测量结果确定与候选波束对应的接收波束。 这样,第一终端可以通过与候选波束对应的接收波束和第二终端进行通信,成功恢复波束或链路,保障通信的可靠性和连续性。
在本申请实施例中,第一终端和第二终端在进行传输时,第一终端根据波束训练结果确定候选波束,并请求第二终端基于候选波束进行波束切换。这样,通过定义如何进行波束失败恢复或链路失败恢复,可以使得终端在波束失败或链路失败的情况下,可以基于波束失败恢复或链路失败恢复的方法成功恢复波束或链路,保障通信的可靠性和连续性。
如图5所示,本申请实施例提供一种波束失败恢复或链路失败恢复方法500,该方法可以由第一终端执行,换言之,该方法可以由安装在第一终端的软件或硬件来执行,该波束失败恢复或链路失败恢复方法包括如下步骤。

第一终端进行波束测量或波束训练的具体实现方式,以及根据波束测量结果或波束训练结果确定候选波束的具体实现方式可以参见上述图3或图4所示实施例中的相应内容,这里不再详细说明。第一终端在确定候选波束后,可以将候选波束上报给第二终端,比如,可以通过向第二终端发送第一请求或第二请求的方式将候选波束上报给第二终端。其中,第一请求和第二请求的解释说明可以参见图3或图4所示实施例中的相应内容,第一终端发送第一请求或第二请求的具体实现也可以参见图3或图4所示实施例中的相应内容,这里都不再详细说明。此外,第一终端在得到波束测量结果或波束训练结果后,还可以将这些结果发送给第二终端,由第二终端根据这些结果确定候选波束。

在本申请实施例中,第一终端和第二终端在进行传输时,第二终端在检测到波束失败或链路失败的情况下,指示第一终端进行波束测量或波束训练,向第一终端或指示新的波束。这样,通过定义如何进行波束失败恢复或链路失败恢复,可以使得终端在波束失败或链路失败的情况下,可以基于波束失败恢复或链路失败恢复的方法成功恢复波束或链路,保障通信的可靠性和连续性。
如图6所示,本申请实施例提供一种波束失败恢复或链路失败恢复方法600,该方法可以由第二终端执行,换言之,该方法可以由安装在第二终端的软件或硬件来执行,该波束失败恢复或链路失败恢复方法包括如下步骤。

在sidelink的场景下,第一终端和第二终端在FR2 band上采用波束进行传输时,第一终端可以根据第二信息确定候选波束,然后向第二终端发送第一信息,第一信息为基于候选波束进行波束失败恢复或链路失败恢复的信息,候选波束的个数可以是一个或多个,候选波束用于进行波束失败恢复或链路失败恢复。第一终端在向第二终端发送第一信息后,第二终端可以接收该第一信息。其中,第一终端根据第二信息确定第一信息的时机可以参 见图2所示的实施例,这里不再重复说明。
上述第二信息可以是第一终端已有的或最新的信息,可选地,作为一个实施例,该第二信息可以包括以下至少一项:
预先对多个波束进行测量得到的测量信息,或缓存的波束的测量信息;
波束的配置或预配置信息;
第一终端和第二终端最新确定或协商的波束信息。
预先测量或缓存的测量信息可以是第一终端通过对用于波束训练的参考信号进行测量后得到,或者是对用于波束测量的参考信号进行测量后得到。波束的配置或预配置信息可以是网络侧对波束的配置或预配置信息,或者也可以是第一终端或第二终端对波束的配置或预配置信息。比如,第二终端预配置当第一终端或第二终端自己检测到波束失败或链路失败后,就根据第一终端发送的波束恢复请求或直接切换到特定的波束上;第一终端和第二终端最新确定或协商的波束信息,比如可以是,第一终端和第二终端在通信的过程中,可以每隔一段时间就确定或协商候选的收发波束,这些收发波束的信息即为第一终端和第二终端最新确定或协商的波束信息。
在第二信息包括以上至少一项的情况下,第一终端根据第二信息确定候选波束的具体实现方式可以参见图2所示的实施例,这里不再重复说明。
可选的,作为一个实施例,第二终端接收到的第一信息可以包括以下至少一项:
候选波束的标识;
第一终端的标识;
波束切换时刻。
候选波束的标识可以是候选波束的序号,参考信号ID,TCIstate,QCL信息,资源标识(比如发送的时域,频域或码域的标识)等。
波束切换时刻可以用于告知第二终端从什么时候开始用新的波束(即候选波束)进行通信。波束切换时刻可以是绝对时间,也可以是相对时间,比如相对于第一终端发送第一信息的时刻。可选地,该波束切换时刻可以是第一终端期望第二终端切换发送或接收波束的最晚时刻,在这种情况下,第一终端可以不用通过接收第二终端的响应来判断第二终端是否成功接收到第一信息并基于第一信息指示的候选波束进行波束切换(此时的候选波束的数量为一个),而是通过此波束切换时刻后是否可以用新的波束接收到第二终端发送的数据或信息来判断,这样,可以缩短第一终端等待第二终端的响应的时间及相关过程的时间,从而提高波束失败恢复的效率。
可选地,作为一个实施例,第一信息可以是波束失败恢复请求(BFR request)或链路 失败恢复请求(LFR request)。也就是说,第一终端可以将第一信息作为请求信息发送给第二终端。
可选地,作为一个实施例,第二终端接收第一信息,可以包括:
第二终端在第一资源上接收第一信息。
第一资源可以由协议预定义,或由网络侧配置或预配置,或由第一终端或第二终端选择或配置。例如,第一资源可以是资源池的特定广播区域,或每隔一段时间的T个时隙(slot),或特定频率位置的一定数量的PRB等。
可选地,第一资源可以满足以下至少一项:
第一资源TDM,或FDM,或CDM;即不同的终端可以通过不同的资源进行区分;
第一资源由终端协作信息通知给第二终端。
在第一资源为TDM资源或FDM资源或CDM资源的情况下,可以避免收发两端(即第一终端和第二终端)同时在进行波束失败检测的情况下,发送或接收的与波束失败恢复或链路失败恢复相关的信令之间发生冲突。
第一资源由终端协作信息通知给第二终端,比如可以是,第一资源可以作为不推荐(non-preferred)资源通知给第二终端。在第一资源由终端协作信息通知给第二终端的情况下,可以避免出现收发两端(即第一终端和第二终端)因半双工等原因无法接收与波束失败恢复或链路失败恢复相关信令的情况。
可选地,作为一个实施例,第二终端在接收第一信息后,包括以下任一项:
在波束切换时刻或波束切换时刻之前,将发送波束切换至候选波束;

向第一终端发送第一响应,第一响应中包含拒绝信息,拒绝信息用于表征第二终端拒绝将原通信波束切换为候选波束。
本实施例中,第二终端在接收到第一信息后,可以确认进行波束切换(即将原通信波束切换为候选波束),也可以拒绝进行波束切换。此外,第二终端在确认进行波束切换或拒绝进行波束切换的情况下,也可以向第一终端发送相应的响应信息。以下将分别针对这多种情况进行说明。
在候选波束的数量为一个且第一终端可以在不等待第二终端的响应的情况下进行波束切换(此时第一终端的接收波束是特定的波束,预配置的波束,或者根据已有的波束测量信息确定的接收波束),则第二终端在接收到第一信息后,可以确认是否进行波束切换,即是否将发送波束切换至候选波束。比如可以判断候选波束的通信质量是否高于门限值, 若是则可以确认进行波束切换并将发送波束切换至候选波束,若否,则可以拒绝进行波束切换。第二终端在确认进行波束切换的情况下,可以将原通信波束(即原发送波束)切换为候选波束,并通过候选波束向第一终端发送数据或约定信号,或者通过波束扫描等方式发送约定信号,这样第一终端可以通过接收到第二终端发送的数据或约定信号,确认第二终端同意进行波束切换,并针对切换后的发送波束的对应参考信号进行测量,从而确定一个合适的接收波束,由此可以实现波束失败恢复或链路失败恢复。由于在整个波束失败恢复或链路失败恢复的过程中,第一终端可以在无需等待第二终端的响应的情况下完成波束切换,因此,可以缩短等待响应的时间及相关过程的时间,提高波束失败恢复的效率。
第二终端在确认不进行波束切换的情况下,即拒绝进行波束切换的情况下,可以不进行波束切换,也不使用候选波束向第一终端发送数据或约定信号。这样,针对第一终端而言,在设定时间(可以由协议预定义,或由网络侧配置或预配置,或由第一终端或第二终端配置)后,在通过候选波束对应的接收波束没有接收到第二终端的数据或约定信号的情况下,可以确认第二终端拒绝了将发送波束切换为候选波束,此时可以认为波束失败恢复失败或链路失败恢复失败。在波束失败恢复失败或链路失败恢复失败的情况下,第一终端可以进行波束测量或波束训练,以重新确定候选波束并基于重新确定的候选波束进行波束失败恢复或链路失败恢复。其中,第一终端通过波束测量的方式进行波束失败恢复或链路失败恢复的具体实现可以参见图3所示的实施例,通过波束训练的方式进行波束失败恢复或链路失败恢复的具体实现可以参见图4所示的实施例,这里都不再详细说明。
在候选波束的数量为一个或多个且第一终端需要等待第二终端的响应的情况下再确认是否进行波束切换,则第二终端在接收到第一信息后,可以向第一终端发送第一响应。可选地,第一响应可以包括以下至少一项:
确认信息,确认信息用于确认将原通信波束切换为候选波束;

为了便于理解本申请实施例提供的技术方案,可以以以下几个实施例为例进行说明。
实施例一:终端通过波束测量的方式进行波束失败恢复或链路失败恢复
当接收端检测到波束失败后,可以进行波束测量,并根据测量结果选择其中的一个波束作为新的波束,或者选择多个波束作为候选波束并由发送端选择其中一个波束作为新的波束进行波束切换。新的波束或候选波束的信息或测量结果等可以通过BFR request发送给发送端。在向发送端发送BFR request时,可以有多种实现方式。例如,为了保证发送端可以接收到BFR request,可以利用全向波束或者波束扫描的方法发送BFR request。或者,也可以通过原通信波束发送BFR request,这是因为假如sidelink的收发两端同时在针对对端的发送波束进行波束失败检测,那么在收到另一端的BFR request之前,可以暂时认为自己的发送波束是正常的,因此可以用原通信波束发送request。或者,还可以通过选择的新的波束对应的波束发送BFR request。
发送端在接收到request后,可以知晓当前的通信波束失败,并可以根据BFR request的信息确定下一步动作。以候选波束中包含一个波束为例进行说明,具体可以分为以下两种实现方式。
第一种实现方式可以参见图10,具体可以包括以下步骤:
步骤0:接收端向发送端发送BFR request,BFR request中携带有一个候选波束。
接收端在检测到波束失败或链路失败的情况下,或达到预设时间段的情况下,可以向发送端发送BFR request,BFR request中携带有一个候选波束,该候选波束可以是根据已 有的或最新的第二信息(可以参见上述图2或图5实施例中的第二信息)确定得到,也可以是通过波束测量或波束训练得到。
步骤1:发送端向接收端发送BFR Response,BFR Response中包含确认信息。
发送端在确认进行波束切换的情况下,可以向接收端发送BFR Response,BFR Response中包含确认信息。其中,BFR Response中的信息可以携带波束切换的时间,便于收发两端进行同步。
步骤2:接收端进行波束测量,根据测量结果确定一个合适的接收波束。
步骤3:接收端将接收波束切换到候选波束对应的接收波束上。
第二种实现方式可以参见图11,具体可以包括以下步骤:
步骤0:接收端向发送端发送BFR request,BFR request中携带有一个候选波束。
步骤1:发送端向接收端发送BFR Response,BFR Response中包含拒绝信息。
发送端在拒绝进行波束切换的情况下,可以向接收端发送BFR Response,BFR Response中包含拒绝信息。
步骤0和步骤1与上述图10所示的步骤0和步骤1相同。
步骤2:接收端向发送端发送BFR request,BFR request中包含用于触发发送端进行波束扫描的信息。
接收端在接收到包含拒绝信息的BFR Response后,可以知晓发送端拒绝了进行波束切换,此时,接收端可以向发送端发送BFR request,该BFR request与步骤0中的BFR request同为请求信息,但是包含的内容不同。本步骤中的BFR request包含用于触发发送端进行波束扫描的信息。
步骤3:发送端进行波束扫描,以协助接收端重新确定候选波束。
步骤4:接收端进行波束测量,根据测量结果确定候选波束。
步骤5:接收端再次向发送端发送BFR request,BFR request中携带候选波束。
步骤6:发送端向接收端发送BFR Response。
发送端在确认进行波束切换的情况下,可以向接收端发送BFR Response,BFR Response中包含确认信息。发送端在拒绝进行波束切换的情况下,可以向接收端发送BFR Response,BFR Response中包含拒绝信息,然后可以重复执行步骤3至步骤6,直至成功恢复波束或链路为止。
步骤7:接收端进行波束测量,根据测量结果确定一个合适的接收波束。
实施例二:终端快速进行波束失败恢复或链路失败恢复
波束失败恢复流程需要收发两端进行较多的动作,耗费的时间可能会很长。因此,需要考虑一些快速BFR的流程,缩短整个BFR的过程,节省时间。
例如,接收端在整个通信过程中,可能会多次进行波束测量。因此,当接收端缓存了一些测量结果时,就可以先使用已有的测量结果确定候选波束,或者是选择收发两端配置好的候选波束,发送BFR request。如果发送端确定了该候选波束可以使用(例如,测量值高于门限值),就可以回复BFR response。接收端接收到BFR response后,就可以切换到候选波束的接受,从而快速恢复了通信波束。如果发送端回复了拒绝等信息,就触发正常的波束失败恢复流程。
例外,当接收端发送BFR request后,可以直接切换到对候选波束的接收上,而不再等待BFR response。如果接收端一直没有接收到数据或约定信号等,再触发正常的波束失败恢复流程。对发送端来说,当接收到BFR request信息后,直接切换到候选波束即可。如果发送端判断不能使用接收端指示的候选波束进行通信时,可以发送拒绝信息,或者发送信息触发正常的波束失败恢复流程。
实施例三:确定收发两端双向的发送波束
由于通信过程大多数是终端即会发送数据,又会接收数据。而波束失败通常是由终端作为接收端的时候检测到的,因此发起的波束失败恢复流程。而这个波束失败恢复流程可能仅可以确定一个新的发送波束,但是此时作为接收端的终端可能接下来还要作为发送端。由于障碍物等一般会同时影响双向的波束,此时如果还采用原发送波束,通信的可靠性可能也无法保障。
一种方法是,终端依靠发起BFR仅确定对端的发送波束,自己的发送波束就靠对端如果也检测到波束失败了,同样会发起BFR,确定合适的发送波束。即互相独立。
还有一种方法是,通信双方的任意一端在检测到波束失败,发起BFR时,利用BFR流程同时确定双方的发送波束。例如,当接收端发送BFR request的方式是采用波束扫描机制发送的,那么发送端在接受BFR request时,同时测量这些波束,就可以确定一个接收端最优的发送波束。所以在BFR response中,可以同时携带发送端确定的接收端发送波束信息,用于通知接收端在发送信息与发送端通信时采用此波束。这样,就完成了双向发送波束的确定。这个过程需要接收端在发送BFR request时,不止进行一次的波束扫描。为了保障发送端可以完成测量,可以进行多次波束扫描,直到接收到BFR response信息。又例如,接收端在发送BFR request时,可以重复的在一个波束方向上发送多次BFR request信息,每隔一个预设的时间,再切换到下一个方向。而发送端通过测量BFR request信息, 在根据测量值选择一个合适的候选波束后,再发送BFR response.此时,接收端就可以根据BFR response的时间或携带的信息确定一个新的发送波束。
实施例四:由发送端执行波束失败恢复或链路失败恢复
基于信道互易性,发送端也可以通过测量接收端发送的参考信号判断波束是否失败,进而执行BFR。但是,由于发送波束需要由接收端确定,或者根据接收端的测量结果确定,因此,当发送端检测到BF后,需要发送第一指示信息指示接收端执行波束测量或波束训练等过程,接收端在接收到第一指示信息后,或者执行完整的波束训练过程,确定新的通信波束,或者对发送端发送的参考信号进行测量,并上报给发送端,从而确定新的通信波束。
实施例五:用于波束训练/波束测量参考信号的发送
当终端检测到波束失败后,需要接收端测量参考信号从而进行候选波束的选择等动作。这样就要求发送端发送波束训练,波束测量或候选波束的相关参考信号,供接收端进行测量等动作。一种可能是参考信号的动态发送,即当发送端接收到BFR request后,触发参考信号的发送。另一种可能是参考信号周期性的发送。这样的话,接收端检测到Beam failure后,就可以直接对这些周期性发送的参考信号进行测量,从而可以直接在BFR request中上报候选波束。
除此之外,周期性的发送用于波束训练的参考信号还可以使能周期性地进行波束训练的机制,可以降低波束失败甚至链路失败的概率。
在本申请实施例中,第一终端和第二终端在进行传输时,第一终端可以根据第二信息确定候选波束并将候选波束通过第一信息指示给第二终端,或第一终端根据波束测量结果确定候选波束并请求第二终端基于候选波束进行波束失败恢复或链路失败恢复,或第一终端根据波束训练结果确定候选波束,并请求第二终端基于候选波束进行波束切换,或第二终端在检测到波束失败或链路失败的情况下,指示第一终端进行波束测量或波束训练,向第一终端或指示新的波束。这样,通过定义如何进行波束失败恢复或链路失败恢复,可以使得终端在波束失败或链路失败的情况下,可以基于波束失败恢复或链路失败恢复的方法成功恢复波束或链路,保障通信的可靠性和连续性。
