其中,关于索引信息的实现方法,可以参考上述方法一中的表1-1,1-2及1-3的示例,不再赘述。
该方法,第二装置通过多个发送波束向第一装置发送感知信号,该多个发送波束中包括相同方向的发送波束,从而有助于第一装置对环境中的感知目标进行精确感知,能够提升感知的精确度,该多个发送波束中还包括不同方向的发送波束,从而有助于提升感知的范围,快速感知环境中的感知目标。
图4(b)为发送波束信息指示的发送波束的又一个示例图。该示例中,发送波束信息指示了2个发送波束组的信息、发送波束组间的时间间隔中的一个或多个。每个发送波束组的信息指示了波束方向、波束间的时间间隔中的一个或多个。其中,发送波束组1内的不同波束的方向相同,发送波束组2内的不同波束的方向相同。该示例中,发送波束信息包括发送波束组1的波束方向、发送波束组1的波束间的时间间隔、发送波束组2的波束方向、发送波束组2的波束间的时间间隔以及发送波束组间的时间间隔,或者该发送波束信息包括索引信息,该索引信息指示了发送波束组1的波束方向、发送波束组1的波束间的时间间隔、发送波束组2的波束方向、发送波束组2的波束间的时间间隔以及发送波束组间的时间间隔。
方法三,发送波束信息包括多个发送波束组的信息、发送波束组间的时间间隔中的一个或多个,或者发送波束信息包括索引信息,索引信息对应多个发送波束组的信息、发送波束组间的时间间隔中的一个或多个。其中,发送波束组的信息包括多个发送波束子组的信息、发送波束子组间的时间间隔中的一个或多个,发送波束子组的信息包括发送波束子组的波束方向、发送波束子组内的波束间的时间间隔中的一个或多个,其中,同一个发送波束子组内的波束的方向相同。
其中,关于索引信息的实现方法,可以参考上述方法一中的表1-1,1-2及1-3的示例,不再赘述。
上述方法中,第二装置通过多个发送波束向第一装置发送感知信号,一个发送波束组分为一个或多个发送波束子组,每个发送波束子组内多个发送波束中包括相同方向的发送波束,从而有助于通过波束方向的调整实现第一装置对环境中的某个感知目标进行精确感知,能够提升感知的精确度,该多个发送波束中还包括不同方向的发送波束,从而有助于提升感知的范围,快速感知环境中的感知目标。
图4(c)为发送波束信息指示的发送波束的又一个示例图。该示例中,发送波束信息指 示了2个发送波束组的信息、发送波束组间的时间间隔中的一个或多个。每个发送波束组的信息指示了2个发送波束子组的信息、发送波束子组间的时间间隔中的一个或多个,每个发送波束子组的信息指示了波束方向、波束间的时间间隔中的一个或多个。其中,发送波束组1中的发送波束子组1的不同波束的方向相同,发送波束组1中的发送波束子组2的不同波束的方向相同,发送波束组2中的发送波束子组1的不同波束的方向相同,发送波束组2中的发送波束子组2的不同波束的方向相同。该示例中,发送波束信息包括发送波束组1的信息、发送波束组2的信息以及发送波束组间的时间间隔,其中,发送波束组1的信息包括发送波束子组1的方向、发送波束子组1内波束间的时间间隔、发送波束子组2的方向、发送波束子组2内波束间的时间间隔以及两个发送波束子组间的时间间隔,发送波束组2的信息包括发送波束子组3的方向、发送波束子组3内波束间的时间间隔、发送波束子组4的方向、发送波束子组4内波束间的时间间隔以及两个发送波束子组间的时间间隔,或者该发送波束信息包括索引信息,该索引信息指示了发送波束组1的信息、发送波束组2的信息以及发送波束组间的时间间隔。
关于该接收波束信息的实现方法,与上述发送波束信息的实现方法类似,具体可以参考前述方法一至方法三,不再赘述。
步骤302,网络设备通过发送波束信息对应的一个或多个发送波束,向终端设备发送感知信号。相应地,终端设备通过一个或多个接收波束接收该感知信号。
一种实现方法中,该感知信号可以是同步信号/物理层广播信号块(SS/PBCH resource block,SSB)。其中,SS是同步信号块(synchronization signal)的简称,PBCH是物理广播信道(physical broadcast channel)的简称。
本申请实施例对网络设备发送的感知信号的数量不做限定。为了获得更加准确的感知结果,可以在一段时间内持续的发送感知信号。比如,网络设备在同一时刻在不同方向发送多个波束,或者在不同时刻向同一方向发送多个波束等等。
网络设备在发送感知信号之后,终端设备通过一个或多个接收波束接收感知信息。其中,终端设备用于接收感知信号的接收波束可以是终端设备自行确定的,也可以是网络设备为终端设备配置的。比如,终端设备从网络设备或其它设备接收接收波束信息,该接收波束信息对应一个或多个接收波束。示例性地,下面介绍感知信号的不同发送方式。
图5(a)为发送感知信号的一个示例图。在同一时刻,网络设备侧存在两个发送波束,每个发送波束可以发送一个感知信号,终端设备侧存在三个接收波束。当环境中存在多个感知目标时,多个方向的发送波束和接收波束可同时对多个感知目标进行探测,从而获取到多个感知结果,每个感知结果对应一个感知目标。比如图5(a)中,发送波束0和接收波束0可以感知到环境中的感知目标1,发送波束1和接收波束1可以感知到环境中的感知目标2。
图5(b)为发送感知信号的又一个示例图。在同一时刻,网络设备侧存在两个发送波束,每个发送波束可以发送一个感知信号,终端设备侧存在三个接收波束。当环境中存在多个感知目标时,多个方向的发送波束和接收波束可同时对多个感知目标进行探测,从而获取到多个感知结果,每个感知结果对应一个感知目标。比如图5(b)中,发送波束0和接收波束0可以感知到环境中的感知目标1,并且发送波束0和接收波束0还可以感知到环境中的感知目标2。
步骤303,终端设备向网络设备发送感知结果。相应地,网络设备接收该感知结果。
该感知结果包括一个或多个感知波束信息,每个感知波束信息用于指示一个感知信号对应的目标发送波束和/或目标接收波束,目标发送波束是发送波束信息对应的一个或多个发送波束中的一个,目标接收波束是接收波束信息对应的一个或多个接收波束中的一个。
一种实现方法中,每个感知波束信息包括目标发送波束的信息和/或目标接收波束的信息,该目标发送波束的信息包括目标发送波束的索引、方向、宽度或角度中的一个或多个,该目标接收波束的信息包括目标接收波束的索引、方向、宽度或角度中的一个或多个。示例性地,目标发送波束的方向比如是水平方向或垂直方向等。目标发送波束的宽度比如是3分贝(db)、5db等。目标发送波束的角度比如是30度或40度等。
以图5(a)为例,网络设备通过发送波束0向终端设备发送感知信号1,以及通过发送波束1向终端设备发送感知信号2,终端设备通过接收波束0接收到感知信号1,以及通过接收波束1接收到感知信号2,因此终端设备生成的感知结果包括感知波束信息1和感知波束信息2,该感知波束信息1包括发送波束0的信息和接收波束0的信息,该感知波束信息2包括发送波束1的信息和接收波束1的信息。该示例中,终端设备是按照波束粒度进行感知结果的上报,也即感知结果中包括2个波束的感知波束信息,每个感知波束信息对应一个发送波束和一个接收波束。
以图5(b)为例,网络设备通过发送波束0向终端设备发送感知信号,该感知信号分别经过感知目标1、感知目标2的反射之后,由终端设备的接收波束0接收到。也即网络设备通过发送波束0发送的一个感知信号经过两条路径到达终端设备,且被终端设备的同一个接收波束0接收到。该情形下,终端设备确定的感知结果包括感知波束信息1和感知波束信息2,该感知波束信息1包括发送波束0的信息,接收波束0的信息以及发送波束0和接收波束0下的路径0的信息,该感知波束信息2包括发送波束0的信息和接收波束0的信息,以及发送波束0和接收波束0下的路径1的信息。该路径0的信息和路径1的信息可以通过时延信息,路径长度信息和多普勒偏移信息中至少一种表示。例如,该感知波束信息1对应时延信息1,路径长度信息1和多普勒偏移信息1中的至少一种,该感知波束信息2对应时延信息2,路径长度信息2和多普勒偏移信息2中的至少一种。其中,时延信息1表示感知信号从网络设备发出,经过感知目标1然后到达终端设备所经历的时延长度,时延信息2表示感知信号从网络设备发出,经过感知目标2然后到达终端设备所经历的时延长度。路径长度信息1表示感知信号从网络设备发出,经过感知目标1然后到达终端设备所经历的路径长度,路径长度信息2表示感知信号从网络设备发出,经过感知目标2然后到达终端设备所经历的路径长度。其中,这里的路径长度可以是物理距离,比如5米,10米等,也可以是时延,比如2纳秒,3纳秒等。多普勒偏移信息1表示感知信号从网络设备发出时的原始频率,与该感知信号经过感知目标1后到达终端设备时的实际频率之间的偏移,多普勒偏移信息2表示感知信号从网络设备发出时的原始频率,与该感知信号经过感知目标2后到达终端设备时的实际频率之间的偏移。该示例中,终端设备是按照路径粒度进行感知结果的上报,也即感知结果中包括2个路径的感知波束信息,每个感知波束信息对应一个发送波束和一个接收波束,以及包括与路径相关的信息。该方案,上报路径粒度的感知结果,有助于提升感知的精确度。
一种实现方法中,在某些场景下,网络设备希望获取环境中特定位置或特定范围内的目标的信息,由于不同位置或范围的目标会导致感知信号在不同时刻到达终端设备,因此网络设备可以为终端设备配置接收时间信息,该时间信息用于指示该接收时间范围。因此, 如果终端设备在配置的接收时间范围内收到感知信号,则终端设备生成感知结果并上报,如果终端设备在配置的接收时间范围内没有收到感知信号,则终端设备不上报感知结果。因此在为终端设备配置了接收时间范围的情况下,上述步骤302可以理解为:终端设备通过一个或多个接收波束,在接收时间范围内接收来自网络设备的感知信号。需要说明的是,该接收时间范围可以是按照终端设备的定时确定的接收时间范围,也可以是按照终端设备的定时确定的接收时间范围,如果网络设备向终端设备发送的是按照网络设备的定时确定的接收时间范围,则终端设备还需要将按照网络设备的定时确定的接收时间范围转换为按照终端设备的定时确定的接收时间范围。
图6为接收时间范围的示例图。该示例中,网络设备关注接收时间范围1内的感知目标和接收时间范围2内的感知目标。接收时间范围1对应物理距离范围1,接收时间范围2对应物理距离范围2。物理距离范围1是以网络设备为中心,以距离1为半径的一个距离范围,物理距离范围2是以网络设备为中心,以距离2为半径的一个距离范围。也可以理解为,网络设备只关注物理距离范围1内的环境目标,和/或关注物理距离范围2内的环境目标。
下面介绍两种配置接收时间范围的方法。
图7(a)为接收时间范围的一种配置方法的示意图。该示例中,T1为接收时间范围1的起始时刻,T2为接收时间范围1的结束时刻以及还是接收时间范围2的起始时刻,T3是接收时间范围2的结束时刻。该示例中,接收时间范围2的起始时刻与接收时间范围1的结束时刻重合。该方法将T2配置为接收时间范围1的结束时刻和接收时间范围2的起始时刻,不需要单独为接收时间范围1配置一个结束时刻,以及为接收时间范围2配置一个起始时刻,可以减少配置时的信令开销。
图7(b)为接收时间范围的又一种配置方法的示意图。该示例中,T1为接收时间范围1的起始时刻,T2为接收时间范围1的结束时刻,T3是接收时间范围2的起始时刻,T4是接收时间范围2的结束时刻。该示例中,接收时间范围2的起始时刻与接收时间范围1的结束时刻没有重合。该方法单独为接收时间范围1配置一个起始时刻和一个结束时刻,以及单独为接收时间范围2配置一个起始时刻和一个结束时刻,接收时间范围1与接收时间范围2之间解耦,可以实现更为灵活地配置接收时间范围。
一种实现方法中,本申请实施例中,终端设备上报的感知结果中还包括每个感知波束信息对应的感知距离索引,该感知距离索引用于指示感知目标与终端设备之间的距离。该距离是根据范围分辨率(range resolution,RR)确定的,该范围分辨率用于表示分辨环境中的两个不同目标的最小距离。
一般地,分辨两个不同距离的目标,要求感知信号的脉冲时长小于等于光速经过这两个目标的时间的2倍,这样才能形成两个不重叠的反射波,也即T<=2*RR/c,因此RR>=c*T/2,其中c表示光速,RR表示范围分辨率,T表示感知信号的脉冲时长。因此本申请实施例中可以根据感知信号的脉冲时长确定范围分辨率。
此外,由于感知信号的脉冲时长可以以时隙为单位进行表示,一个时隙的时长与子载波间隔相关。例如当子载波间隔为15Khz,一个时隙为1ms,如果感知信号的脉冲时长持续1个时隙的时长,则感知信号的脉冲时长为1ms。当子载波间隔为60Khz,一个时隙为0.25ms,如果感知信号的脉冲时长持续1个时隙的时长,则感知信号的脉冲时长为0.25ms。因此本申请实施例中的范围分辨率也可以与子载波间隔相关。
本申请实施例可以预先在终端设备和网络设备配置范围分辨率与感知距离索引之间的对应关系。
表2-1为感知信号的脉冲时长以绝对时间为单位,感知距离信息与感知距离索引之间的对应关系的示例。
表2-1
感知距离索引 | 感知距离信息 |
0 | RR0~2*RR0 |
1 | 2*RR0~3*RR0 |
2 | 3*RR0~4*RR0 |
3 | 4*RR0~5*RR0 |
…… | …… |
需要说明的是,上述表2-1中的2*RR0对应的感知距离索引既可以是0,或者,也可以是1,类似的,3*RR0对应的感知距离索引既可以是1,也可以是2,等等。示例性地,上述表2-1中的RR0~2*RR0表示(RR0,2*RR0],2*RR0~3*RR0表示(2*RR0,3*RR0],3*RR0~4*RR0表示(3*RR0,4*RR0],4*RR0~5*RR0表示(4*RR0,5*RR0]。其中(]表示左边是开区间,右边是闭区间,例如(a,b]表示大于a且小于或等于b的数值。
后续表2-2,表2-3,表3-1以及表3-2的表达方式的含义可以参考此处的描述,不再赘述。
基于表2-1的示例,根据范围分辨率的定义,确定相应的范围分辨率为RR0。终端设备确定某个感知目标与终端设备之间的距离为X。如果X包含于RR0~2*RR0,则终端设备上报的感知距离索引为0,网络设备根据表2-1和感知距离索引0,确定感知目标与终端设备之间的距离是在RR0与2*RR0之间。如果X包含于2*RR0~3*RR0,则终端设备上报的感知距离索引为1,网络设备根据表2-1和感知距离索引1,确定感知目标与终端设备之间的距离是在2*RR0与3*RR0之间。以此类推,不再赘述。

表2-2
感知距离索引 | 感知距离信息 |
0 | RR1~2*RR1 |
1 | 2*RR1~3*RR1 |
2 | 3*RR1~4*RR1 |

…… | …… |
基于表2-2的示例,当子载波间隔为120kHz,根据感知信号的脉冲时长持续的时隙个数,确定脉冲时长持续的绝对时间,再根据范围分辨率的定义,确定相应的范围分辨率为RR1。终端设备确定某个感知目标与终端设备之间的距离为X。如果X包含于RR1~2*RR1,则终端设备上报的感知距离索引为0,网络设备根据表2-2和感知距离索引0,确定感知目标与终端设备之间的距离是在RR1与2*RR1之间。如果X包含于2*RR1~3*RR1,则终端设备上报的感知距离索引为1,网络设备根据表2-2和感知距离索引1,确定感知目标与终端设备之间的距离是在2*RR1与3*RR1之间。以此类推,不再赘述。
表2-3为子载波间隔为240kHz时,感知距离信息与感知距离索引之间的对应关系的示例。
表2-3
感知距离索引 | 感知距离信息 |
0 | RR2~2*RR2 |
1 | 2*RR2~3*RR2 |

3 | 4*RR2~5*RR2 |
…… | …… |
基于表2-3的示例,当子载波间隔为240kHz,根据感知信号的脉冲时长持续的时隙个数,确定脉冲时长持续的绝对时间,再根据范围分辨率的定义,确定相应的范围分辨率为RR2。终端设备确定某个感知目标与终端设备之间的距离为X。如果X包含于RR2~2*RR2,则终端设备上报的感知距离索引为0,网络设备根据表2-3和感知距离索引0,确定感知目标与终端设备之间的距离是在RR2与2*RR2之间。如果X包含于2*RR2~3*RR2,则终端设备上报的感知距离索引为1,网络设备根据表2-3和感知距离索引1,确定感知目标与终端设备之间的距离是在2*RR2与3*RR2之间。以此类推,不再赘述。
一种实现方法中,本申请实施例中,终端设备上报的感知结果中还包括每个感知波束信息对应的速度索引,该速度索引用于指示感知目标的速度。该速度索引指示的速度可以是根据速度分辨率(speed resolution,SR)确定的。
一般地,速度分辨率(SR)、感知信号的波长(λ
t)以及相干处理间隔(coherent processing interval,CPI)之间具有如下关系:
并且,一个CPI包括多个脉冲重复间隔(pulse repetition interval,PRI)。因此本申请实施例中的速度分辨率可以是根据感知信号的CPI、PRI中的一个或多个确定的。
本申请实施例可以预先在终端设备和网络设备配置速度索引与速度信息之间的对应关系。
表3-1为CPI为0.5ms,λ
t为15mm时,速度索引与速度信息之间的对应关系的示例。
表3-1
速度索引 | 速度信息 |
0 | 0~15m/s |
1 | 15~30m/s |

3 | 45~60m/s |
…… | …… |
基于表3-1的示例,当CPI为0.5ms,λ
t为15mm,相应的速度分辨率SR1=15m/s。终端设备确定某个感知目标的速度为S。如果终端设备测量到的感知目标的速度S包含于0~15m/s,则终端设备上报的速度索引为0,网络设备根据表3-1和速度索引0,确定感知目标的速度S是在0到15m/s之间。如果终端设备测量到的感知目标的速度S包含于15~30m/s,则终端设备上报的速度索引为1,网络设备根据表3-1和速度索引1,确定感知目标的速度S是在15到30m/s之间。以此类推,不再赘述。
表3-2为CPI为5ms,λ
t为15mm时,速度索引与速度信息之间的对应关系的示例。
表3-2
速度索引 | 速度信息 |
0 | 0~1.5m/s |
1 | 1.5~3m/s |
2 | 3~4.5m/s |
3 | 4.5~6m/s |
…… | …… |
基于表3-2的示例,当CPI为5ms,λ
t为15mm,相应的速度分辨率SR2=1.5m/s。终端设备确定某个感知目标的速度为S。如果终端设备测量到的感知目标的速度S包含于0~1.5m/s,则终端设备上报的速度索引为0,网络设备根据表3-2和速度索引0,确定感知目标的速度S是在0到1.5m/s之间。如果终端设备测量到的感知目标的速度S包含于1.5~3m/s,则终端设备上报的速度索引为1,网络设备根据表3-2和速度索引1,确定感知目标的速度S是在1.5到3m/s之间。以此类推,不再赘述。
需要说明的是,本申请实施例中的感知目标既可以是网络设备与终端设备之外的其它设备,也可以是该终端设备。
本申请实施例,终端设备接收网络设备发送的感知信号,并向网络设备上报根据感知信号生成的感知结果,从而网络设备可以根据感知结果确定感知目标。由于终端设备上报的是波束粒度的感知结果,有助于网络设备精确确定感知目标,能够提升感知的精确度。
