为了便于理解本申请实施例，首先说明以下内容。
反向散射通信(Backscatter Communication，BSC)是指反向散射通信设备利用其它设备或者环境中的射频信号进行信号调制来传输自己信息，是一种比较典型的无源物联设备。反向散射通信发送端的基本构成模块及主要功能包括：
-天线单元：用于接收射频信号、控制命令，同时用于发送调制的反向散射信号。
-能量采集模块或供能模块：该模块用于反向散射通信设备进行射频能量采集，或者其它能量采集，包括但不限于太阳能、动能、机械能、热能等。另外除了包括能量采集模块，也可能包括电池供能模块，此时反向散射通信设备为半无源设备。能量采集模块或供能模块给设备中的其它所有模块进行供电。
-微控制器：包括控制基带信号处理、储能或数据调度状态、开关切换、系统同步等。
-信号接收模块：用于解调反向散射通信接收端或是其它网络节点发送的控制命令或数据等。
-信道编码和调制模块：在控制器的控制下进行信道编码和信号调制，并通过选择开关在控制器的控制下通过选择不同的负载阻抗来实现调制。
-存储器或传感模块：用于存储设备的标识(Identity，ID)信息、位置信息或是传感数据等。
除了上述典型的构成模块之外，未来的反向散射通信发送端还可以集成隧道二极管放大器模块、低噪声放大器模块等，用于提升发送端的接收灵敏度和发送功率。
可选的，反向散射通信接收端即阅读器的基本构成模块及主要功能包括：
-天线单元：用于接收调制的反向散射信号。
-反向散射信号检波模块：用于对反向散射通信发送端发送的反向散射信号进行检波，包括但不限于幅移键控(Amplitude Shift Keying，ASK)检波、相移键控(Phase-Shift Keying，PSK)检波、频移键控(Frequency-Shift Keying，FSK)检波或正交振幅调制(QuadratureAmplitude Modulation，QAM)检波等。
-解调和解码模块：对检波出的信号进行解调制和解码，以恢复出原始信息流。
反向散射通信设备通过调节其内部阻抗来控制调制电路的反射系数Γ，从而改变入射信号的幅度、频率、相位等，实现信号的调制。其中信号的反射系数可表征为：
其中，Z0为天线特性阻抗，Z1是负载阻抗，j表示复数，θT表示相位。假设入射信号为Sin(t)，则输出信号为因此，通过合理的控制反射系数可实现对应的幅度调制、频率调制或相位调制。基于此，反向散射通信设备，可以是传统射频识别标识(Radio Frequency Identification，RFID)中的标签(Tag)，或者是无源或半无源物联网(Passive/Semi-passive Internet of Things，IoT)。为了方便，这里统称为BSC设备。
图1A示出了本申请实施例可应用的一种单基地反向散射通信系统(MonostaticBackscatter Communication System，MBCSs)的示意图。MBCS系统包括BSC发送设备(比如标签Tag)和读写器(Reader)，读写器Reader中包含RF射频源和BSC接收设备，RF射频源用于产生RF射频信号从而来给BSC发送设备/Tag供能。BSC发送设备反向散射经过调制后的RF射频信号，Reader中的BSC接收设备接收到该反向散射信号后进行信号解调。由于RF射频源和BSC接收设备是在同一个设备中，比如这里的Reader，因此成为单站反向散射通信系统。MBCS系统中，由于从BSC发送设备发送出去的RF射频信号会经过往返信号的信号衰减引起的双倍远近效应，因而信号的能量衰减大，因而MBCS系统一般用于短距离的反向散射通信，比如传统的RFID应用。
图1B示出了本申请实施例可应用的一种双基地反向散射通信系统(BistaticBackscatter Communication Systems，BBCSs)的示意图。不同于单基地反向散射通信系统(Monostatic Backscatter Communication System，MBCSs)，BBCS系统中的RF射频源、BSC发送设备和BSC接收设备是分开的，故可以避免往返信号衰减大的问题。另外，通过合理的放置RF射频源的位置可以进一步提高BBCS通信系统的性能。值得注意的是，环境反向散射通信系统ABCSs也是双基地反向散射通信系统的一种，但与BBCS系统中的射频源为专用的信号射频源不同，ABCS系统中的射频源可以是可用的环境中的射频源，比如：电视塔、蜂窝基站、WiFi信号、蓝牙信号等。
对于反向散射通信中的覆盖，受限于网络节点的发送功率、双程链路衰减、储能电路的储能效率与储能容量、反向散射通信设备的接收灵敏度、收发天线增益以及信号干扰等的影响，反向散射通信的前向和反向覆盖都面临较大的技术挑战。具体地，对于从网络节点到反向散射通信设备的前向链路中，由于驱动能量采集电路工作需要几uW到几十uW能量，因此反向散射通信设备接收用于供能的射频信号的信号强度或灵敏度大约为-20 dBm左右，而传统终端设备的接收机灵敏度为-100dBm左右。如果反向散射通信设备具备储能能力的话，则其接收用于供能的射频信号的接收灵敏度可以放松至-30dBm。另外，考虑到能量采集电路的特性，即输入信号的功率越低能量转化效率也会越低，因此当输入的射频信号功率低于-23dBm的情况下，能量采集电路很难有效的采集信号并整流成可用的直流电压。另一方面，从反向散射通信设备到网络节点的反向链路中，由于部分信号能量被用于供能，因此反向散射的信号强度比入射供能信号的信号强度大约低3dB～5dB。另外，低硬件成本反向散射通信设备的天线增益一般也不会太大，大约为0dBi～2dBi。
采用分离式架构以及集成低功耗放大器都是提升反向散射通信覆盖的有效方式。除此之外，通过使用多输入多输出(Multiple-Input Multiple-Output，MIMO)波束成形技术可以使得射频信号的能量更集中，并结合高能量转化效率的能量采集电路，也可以有效的改善反向散射通信覆盖的问题。在满足反向散射通信设备能量采集最大化的约束条件下，结合射频源混合波束成形以及反向散射设备中被动式波束成形的收发端联合波束成形方案，可有效增强前向覆盖。
在反向散射通信等需要射频供能的系统中(以反向散射通信设备为例)，由于反向散射通信设备需要依赖于其它设备的射频信号供能才能进行数据传输，并且受到反向散射通信设备接收灵敏度的影响，反向散射通信设备的接收供能信号的灵敏度约为-20dBm～-30dBm，而接收通信数据的灵敏度约为-50dBm～-60dBm，因此射频供能成为制约反向散射通信传输距离的瓶颈。由于上下行传输信号衰减与节点间的距离相关，以下行为例，距离基站等供能设备更近的反向散射通信设备将收割到更多的能量的同时，需要更少的能量来满足上行传输需求；相反，距离基站较远的反向散射通信设备收割到更少能量的同时，需要更多的能量来满足上行传输需求，这个现象被称为双倍远近效应。基于能量波束赋形可以解决双倍远近效应问题，通过控制波束的宽窄和功率，使得较远的用户收割到更多的能量。
除了反向散射通信，一些不适用电池供电或者更换电池成本高的终端设备也可以基于射频能量进行供能。此类设备可以基于网络节点的无线射频能量进行能量收割与能量存储，并且利用收割到的能量自主生成载波信号来进行通信传输。
现有的5G NR中的波束成型(beamforming)通过调整天线阵中每个阵元的相位来产生具有指向性的波束，从而来提升传输覆盖、改善边缘吞吐量及抑制干扰等。另外如果充分利用信道高空间自由度的特点，实现多流传输，则可以提升系统容量和用户速率。而收发端的波束对齐是实现多天线可靠性传输的前提，包括波束选择、波束测量、波束上报等步骤。现有的波束传输主要是为通信业务设计的，因此在波束测量过程中，是以参考信号的层1参考信号接收功率(Layer 1 Reference Signal Received Power，L1-RSRP)、层1信号与干扰加噪声比(Layer 1 Signal to Interference plus Noise Ratio，L1-SINR)等参量作为波束测量和波束选择的信号质量评估准则的。与NR中的基于定向波束进行传输相同，供能设备也可以采用定向波束进行beamforming传能，从而提高待供能通信设备的能量转化 效率与远近效应问题。但不同于现有的NR系统中采用通信信号的L1-RSRP、L1-SINR等参量作为波束测量和波束选择的信号质量评估准则，基于能量传输的能量波束不需要考虑选择的波束的信号质量最优，而只需要考虑选择的能量赋形波束能够提供最强功率，包括来自有用信号、干扰信号以及噪声的总功率之和。因此，针对于能量波束测量和能量波束选择的波束中，需要设计新的波束测量和波束选择准则、训练过程、信令流程等，以使得训练出的能量赋形波束能够达到较优的供能效果。
更进一步的，受限于储能能力与能量转化效率，基于射频能量采集的终端设备的上行同样也存在通信覆盖的问题。为了提升覆盖距离，接收端也可以采用波束赋形技术来获得波束赋形增益，从而提升通信覆盖。但存在的问题在于，提供下行能量赋形波束的设备与提供上行通信接收赋形波束的设备是同一个设备，并且由于能量赋形波束和通信赋形波束的波束质量评估准则不一样，这导致了传统的波束一致性(Beam correspondence)在基于下行能量波束供能和上行波束接收的架构中不再适用，因此需要设计新的波束训练/处理方法。
本申请实施例中方案针对能量赋形波束和通信赋形波束的联合训练/处理问题，提出了一种基于相同的参考信号进行能量赋形波束和通信赋形波束联合波束训练/处理的方法，以及对应的信令流程、配置参数等，使得获得的能量赋形波束能够提供功率较强的射频供能效果，同时获得的通信赋形波束能够具有较好的波束赋形增益。
本申请实施例可应用于LTE系统、5G NR系统以及NR演进系统，比如6G系统，以及IEEE 802.11、无线光通信、无源物联网、反向散射通信等诸多适用于需要进行能量波束赋形的无线通信系统等。
