本申请的技术方案可以应用于无线个人局域网(wireless personal area network，WPAN)，目前WPAN采用的标准为电气和电子工程协会(institute of electrical and electronics engineer，IEEE)802.15系列。WPAN可以用于电话、计算机、附属设备等小范围内的数字辅助设备之间的通信。支持无线个人局域网的技术包括蓝牙(bluetooth)、紫蜂(zigBee)、超宽带(ultra wideband，UWB)、红外数据协会(infrared data association，IrDA)连接技术、家庭射频(home radio frequency，HomeRF)等。从网络构成上来看，WPAN位于整个网络架构的底层，用于小范围内的设备之间的无线连接，即点到点的短距离连接，可以视为短距离无线通信网络。根据不同的应用场景，WPAN又分为高速率(high rate，HR)-WPAN和低速率(low rate，LR)-WPAN，其中，HR-WPAN可用于支持各种高速率的多媒体应用，包括高质量声像配送、多兆字节音乐和图像文档传送等。LR-WPAN可用于日常生活的一般业务。
在WPAN中，根据设备所具有的通信能力，可以分为全功能设备(full-function device，FFD)和精简功能设备(reduced-function device，RFD)。FFD之间以及FFD与RFD之间都可以通信。RFD之间不能直接通信，只能与FFD通信，或者通过一个FFD向外转发数据。这个与RFD相关联的FFD称为该RFD的协调器(coordinator)。RFD设备主要用于简单的控制应用，例如灯的开关、被动式红外线传感器等，传输的数据量较少，对传输资源和通信资源占用不多，RFD的成本较低。其中，协调器也可以称为个人局域网(personal area network，PAN)协调器或中心控制节点等。PAN协调器为整个网络的主控节点，并且每个自组网中一般只有一个PAN协调器，具有成员身份管理、链路信息管理、分组转发功能。
可选地，本申请实施例中的设备(例如，发送设备或接收设备)可以为支持802.15系列的设备，例如，支持802.15.4a和802.15.4z，以及现在正在讨论中的或后续版本等多种WPAN制式的设备。

下文将结合附图对与本申请所揭示的技术方案相关的适用通信系统进行描述。
图1是本申请实施例的适用通信系统100的示意图。如图1所示，通信系统100包括通信装置110与通信装置120。其中，本申请对通信系统100所包括的通信装置的数量不作限定。其中，通信装置110与通信装置120可以是如上所列举的任意一个终端设备，也可以是如上所列举的任意一个网络设备，本申请对此不做限定。应理解，图1仅作为示例性理解，并不能限定本申请所要求的保护范围。
图1中，通信装置110与通信装置120之间能够进行UWB通信，譬如，UWB通信包括：感知、测距、定位、通信等传输应用。以UWB传输为测距为例进行描述，在测距场景中，通信装置110可以作为发起端(initiator)(发起端是指能够发起UWB测距过程的UWB设备，其可以为发送端/接收端)，通信装置120可以作为响应端(responder)(响应端是指响应来自发起端发起的测距过程的UWB设备，其可以为接收端/发送端)。
图1中，通信装置110与通信装置120可以均为支持802.15.4z协议的UWB设备，也可以均为支持802.15.4ab协议的UWB设备，也可以均为支持其他协议的UWB设备，本申请对此不做限定。为便于描述，本申请以通信装置110与通信装置120均为支持802.15.4ab协议的UWB设备为例进行描述，但不限定其他的场景。
如前文所述，支持UWB通信的通信装置需要进行初始同步的前导码配置与测距过程的前导码配置。譬如，通信装置110根据第一前导码进行初始同步，根据第二前导码进行测距过程。其中，第一前导码的配置信息与第二前导码的配置信息需要由作为发起端的通信装置110配置并发送。其中，关于前导码的配置方式可以参见图2。
图2是用于配置前导码的信元(Information Element,IE)#S的结构示意图。如图2所示，信元#S包括信道配置时段指示(channel configuration interval presence，CCIP)字段、动态前导码选择(dynamic preamble selection，DPS)持续时间指示(DPS duration presence，DDP)字段、前导码序列选择指示(preamble sequence selection presence，PSP)字段、信道编号(channel number)字段、CCI字段、DPS字段、发送端前导码代码(Tx preamble code)字段、接收端前导码代码(Rx preamble code)字段以及前导码符号重复次数(preamble symbol repetitions，PSR)字段。
具体而言，CCIP字段指示CCI字段是否存在，DDP字段指示DPS Duration字段是否存在，PSP字段指示与前导码序列选择相关的字段是否存在。其中，与前导码序列选择相关的字段包括：发送端前导码代码字段、接收端前导码代码字段以及PSR字段。信道编号字段指示UWB信道的编号，CCI字段指示信道配置时段信息，DPS Duration字段指示DPS的持续时间长度，PSR字段指示前导码符号的重复次数。
其中，发送端前导码代码字段指示一个索引数值，该索引数值对应发送端(信元#S的发送设备)在即将到来的测距过程中的用于发送UWB信号的前导码序列。接收端前导码代码字段也指示一个索引数值，该索引数值对应接收端(信元#S的接收设备)在即将到来的测距过程中的用于接收UWB信号的前导码序列。其中，发送端前导码字段与接收端前导码字段所指示的前导码序列的类型均为基于Ipatov序列的前导码序列，其中，Ipatov序列包括现有802.15.4z协议定义的Ipatov序列。
可以理解的是，UWB设备的初始同步包括两种类型：基于UWB信号的初始同步与基于窄带信号(narrow-band，NB)的初始同步。对于前者，初始同步与测距过程(下文以测距过程为多毫秒传输(multi-millisecond，MMS)为例进行描述)对前导码序列的性能要求存在差异，初始同步与MMS测距过程可分别配置不同的前导码序列。比如，对于初始同步，可以选择基于Ipatov序列的前导码序列，在此不做限定；对于MMS测距过程，可以选择基于Golay序列的前导码序列，也可以选择基于互补零和互相关码块(complementary zero-sum cross-correlation code block,CZC)的前导码序列，也可以选择基于Ipatov序列的前导码序列，在此不做限定。
由前述可知，UWB设备的初始同步过程与MMS测距过程均可以配置基于Ipatov序列的前导码序 列，支持802.15.4ab协议的UWB设备接收到信元#S时，其可能无法区分信元#S所指示的前导码序列的用途，即无法确定基于Ipatov序列的前导码序列是用于初始同步，还是用于MMS测距过程。
鉴于上述技术问题，本申请提供了一种超宽带通信方法与通信装置，能够支持UWB设备完成初始同步的前导码配置和/或测量过程的前导码配置。
为了便于理解本申请实施例的技术方案，首先对本申请实施例可能涉及到的一些术语或概念进行简单描述。
测距轮(ranging round)：在上一代IEEE 802.15.4z标准中，将单个测距过程，定义为一个测距轮。每个测距轮的最小处理时间单位为测距时隙(ranging slot)。在一个测距轮中，分为三个阶段：测距控制阶段(ranging control phase)、测距阶段(ranging phase)、测距结果上报阶段(measurement report phase)，如图3所示，图3是一种UWB测距轮各阶段的示意图。从图3中可以看出，IEEE 802.15.4z标准中，测距控制阶段包含1个测距时隙，而在当前正在讨论的IEEE 802.15.4ab标准中，测距控制阶段可以包含多于1个的测距时隙。
其中，测量包括基于UWB信号执行的测距、感知、定位、通信等测量过程。相应地，比如，当测量为测距时，则相应的测量轮为测距轮；又比如，当测量为感知时，相应的测量轮为感知轮。
本申请中“分段信号(fragment或segment)”也可以称为“分块信号”、“短信号”、“部分信号”、“分段”、“分块”、“分片”或“分片信号”等，对于分段信号的名称不做限定，能够用于标识某个UWB信号被拆分为多个UWB信号，拆分后的多个UWB信号中每个UWB信号在时间长度上小于1毫秒，且在每个毫秒内发送一个拆分后的UWB信号即可。可选的，UWB信号拆分得到的多个分段信号可以相同，比如，UWB信号拆分得到的多个分段信号为相同配置的前导码(preamble)，其中，相同配置的前导码包括但不限于：前导码的长度、前导码所用的序列等等。前导码是一组序列，可用于设备跟其它设备交互或接入网络时，用于识别设备身份和/或信道状态测量。
另外，本申请中所述的“帧结构(frame structure)”也可以称为“帧格式(frame format)”等，且对于帧结构的名称不做限定，能够用于表征某个UWB信号帧的结构/格式等信号帧特点即可。
下文将结合附图对本申请实施例的超宽带通信方法进行描述。
图4是本申请实施例的通信方法400的交互流程示意图。其中，方法400可以由第一通信装置与第二通信装置执行，或者，也可以由安装于第一通信装置与第二通信装置中的具有相应功能的模块和/或器件(例如，芯片或集成电路等)执行，本申请对此不做限定。第一通信装置可以是网络设备或终端设备，第二通信装置可以是网络设备或终端设备，本申请对此也不做限定。下文以第一通信装置与第二通信装置为例进行描述。如图4所示，方法400包括：
S410、第一通信装置确定第一信元，第一信元包括第一信息与第二信息中的至少一项，第一信息用于配置第一序列，第一序列用于第二通信装置的初始同步，第二信息用于配置第二序列，第二序列用于第一通信装置与第二通信装置之间的第一测量过程。
具体而言，第一信元包括第一信息与第二信息中的至少一项，可以为：第一信元包括第一信息；或者，第一信元包括第二信息；抑或，第一信元包括第一信息与第二信息。
应理解，第一信息能够用于配置第一序列，该第一序列能够用于第二通信装置的初始同步，换言之，第一信息能够用于第二通信装置进行初始同步的前导码配置。第二信息能够用于配置第二序列，该第二序列能够用于第二通信装置与第一通信装置之间的第一测量过程，换言之，第二信息能够用于第二通信装置进行第一测量过程的前导码配置。
一个可能的实现方式，第一测量过程包括以下至少一项：测距过程、感知过程，或者，定位过程。为便于描述，下文以第一测量过程为测距过程为例进行描述。
一个可能的实现方式，第一序列还可以包括第一前导码序列、第一前导码字段或者第一前导码符号等替代或者类似表述。同理，第二序列还可以包括第二前导码序列、第二前导码字段或者第二前导码符号等替代或者类似表述。
S420、第一通信装置向第二通信装置发送第一信元。
相应地，第二通信装置接收来自第一通信装置的第一信元。
S430、第二通信装置根据第一信元确定第一序列与第二序列中的至少一项。
具体而言，第一信元包括第一信息，第二通信装置根据第一信息确定第一序列，进而完成初始同 步的前导码配置。第一信元包括第二信息，第二通信装置根据第二信息确定第二序列，进而完成第一测量过程的前导码配置。第一信元包括第一信息与第二信息，第二通信装置根据第一信息确定第一序列，根据第二信息确定第二序列，进而完成初始同步的前导码配置与第一测量过程的前导码配置。
正如前文所述，在接收到信元#S之后，第二通信装置可能无法对信元#S所指示的前导码序列的用途进行区分。譬如，不能确定信元#S所指示的前导码序列是用于初始同步，还是用于第一测量过程。由此，第二通信装置不能根据信元#S完成初始同步的前导码配置和/或第一测量过程的前导码配置。
综上所言，本申请通过在第一信元中配置第一信息和/或第二信息的方式，能够支持第二通信装置根据第一信元的第一信息和/或第二信息对应完成初始同步的前导码配置和/或第一测量过程的前导码配置。
一个可能的实现方式，第一信元还包括第三信息与第四信息中的至少一项。
具体而言，第一信元包括第一信息，第一信元还可以包括第三信息，其用于指示第一序列的类型。第一信元包括第二信息，第一信元还可以包括第四信息，其用于指示第二序列的类型。第一信元包括第一信息与第二信息，第一信元还可以包括第三信息与第四信息，第三信息与第四信息分别用于指示第一序列的类型与第二序列的类型。由此，第二通信装置根据第一信元的第三信息和/或第四信息确定对应的第一序列和/或第二序列的类型，进而更好地生成对应的前导码序列。
一个示例中，第一序列的类型可以包括Ipatov序列；第二序列的类型也可以包括Golay序列、CZC序列与Ipatov序列。
可选地，上述的Golay序列还可以包括两种类型：802.15.4ab协议支持的Golay序列，以及，802.15.4ab协议不支持的Golay序列。
可选地，上述的Ipatov序列还可以包括三种类型：802.15.4ab协议支持的Ipatov序列，以及，802.15.4z支持的Ipatov序列，以及，802.15.4ab协议和802.15.4z均不支持的Ipatov序列。
可选地，上述的CZC序列还可以包括两种类型：802.15.4ab协议支持的CZC序列，以及，802.15.4ab协议不支持的CZC序列。
一个可能的实现方式，第一信元还包括第五信息，其用于指示第一测量过程的类型。
具体而言，第一测量过程的类型包括：基于非MMS的测量过程，基于MMS的测量过程，或者，基于NB信号辅助MMS的测量过程。由此，第二通信装置根据第一信元的第五信息确定第一测量过程的类型信息，进而更好地完成与第一通信装置之间的测量过程。
一个可能的实现方式，方法400还包括：
S440、第一通信装置向第二通信装置发送第二信元，第二信元包括第六信息，其用于指示测量完整性分段的数量。
相应地，第二通信装置接收来自第一通信装置的第二信元，并根据第六信息确定测量完整性分段的数量。
如此，通过完整性分段，可以开展完整性保护校验，进而可以确定测距过程是否遭受到攻击。
一个可能的实现方式，第二信元还包括第七信息，其用于指示是否存在前导码分段数量更新。
相应地，第二通信装置能够根据第七信息确定是否存在前导码分段数量更新。
如此，通过动态更新前导码分段数量，可以使得收发设备更好地适应信道环境的动态变化，提升收发设备之间的测量精度，或降低对其他设备的干扰。
一个可能的实现方式，第二信元还包括第八信息，第八信息用于指示MMS的类型。
具体而言，MMS的类型包括：交错式MMS或者非交错式MMS。关于MMS的类型具体描述可以参见图5。
图5是本申请实施例的MMS测距的类型示意图。如图5的(a)所示，对于非交错式MMS测距(non-interlaced MMS ranging)，发起端可以向响应端发送连续的多个UWB信号块，响应端可以向发起端发送连续的多个UWB信号块，且二者之间不存在交错现象。其中，通过采用非交错式MMS的测距方式，本申请能够增强信号，并能够缓解在长距离或者视距受阻的场景中的UWB信号衰弱现象的出现。如图5的(b)所示，对于交错式MMS(interlaced MMS ranging)，发起端与响应端之间交替向对端发送UWB信号块。
一个可能的实现方式，方法400还可以包括：
S450、第一通信装置向第二通信装置发送第三信元，第三信元用于第二通信装置与第一通信装置之间的第二测量过程。
相应地，第二通信装置接收来自第一通信装置的第三信元，并根据第三信元进行第二测量过程。其中，关于第二测量过程的描述可以参见第一测量过程的描述，在此不再赘述。
应理解，S450中，第三信元可以为高级测距控制信元(advanced ranging control information element，ARC IE)，其能够用于向第二通信装置配置用于第二测量过程的测量信息。其中，关于ARC IE的具体内容可以参见现有协议，在此不再赘述。
一个示例中，第二通信装置支持第三信元、不支持第二信元时，第二测量过程是基于第三信元进行的。第二通信装置支持第三信元与第二信元时，第二测量过程是基于第二信元与第三信元进行的。
具体而言，如果第一通信装置向第二通信装置发送的测距控制信息(ranging control message，RCM)包括第三信元(譬如，ARC IE)，且不包括第二信元，第一通信装置与第二通信装置之间的第二测量过程是基于第三信元的，即是基于802.15.4z协议的。这也意味着，第二测量过程为非MMS测量过程。如果第一通信装置向第二通信装置发送的RCM包括第三信元与第二信元，若第二通信装置支持第二信元，第一通信装置与第二通信装置之间的第二测量过程是基于第三信元与第二信元的(即遵循802.15.4ab协议规定的流程开展测量过程)。若第二通信装置不支持第二信元，第一通信装置与第二通信装置之间的第二测量过程是基于第三信元的(即遵循802.15.4z协议规定的流程开展测量过程)。
一个可能的实现方式，方法400还可以包括：
S460、第二通信装置向第一通信装置发送指示信息，其用于指示第二通信装置是否支持窄带信号能力与多毫秒传输能力中的至少一项。
相应地，第一通信装置接收来自第二通信装置的指示信息，并根据该指示信息确定第二通信装置是否支持NB信号能力与MMS能力中的至少一项。
S470、第一通信装置向第二通信装置发送反馈信息，其用于指示不允许第二通信装置接入网络。
相应地，第二通信装置接收来自第一通信装置的反馈信息，并根据该反馈信息确定第二通信装置不被获准接入网络。
具体来说，第二通信装置通过指示信息向第一通信装置指示其不支持NB信号能力与MMS能力中的至少一项时，第一通信装置会向第二通信装置发送反馈信息，其用于向第二通信装置指示其不被获准接入网络。其中，第二网络设备不被获准接入网络的原因可以为：第二通信装置不支持NB信号能力和/或第二通信装置不支持MMS能力。
通过上述技术方案，本申请支持第一通信装置可以获取第二通信装置对NB信号能力和MMS能力的支持情况，有助于第一通信装置在后续的测量过程做出合理的测量配置。
需要说明的是，对于上述的S440～S470等技术方案，本申请并不限定S440～S470之间的步骤先后顺序。譬如，可以是S440的顺序在前，S470的顺序在后；也可以是S450的顺序在前，S440的顺序在后等等。

其中，关于测量模式字段的描述可以参见表2。
表2测量模式字段
表2中，测量模式字段的不同数值下可支撑的序列配置要求如下：

应理解，上述描述仅作为示例描述，不作为最终限定。
其中，第一信元中的MMS测量序列选择存在指示字段的含义如下所示：
1)MMS测量序列选择指示字段为0，表示第一信元不存在/触发MMS序列类型字段
2)MMS测量序列选择指示字段为1，表示第一信元存在/触发MMS序列类型字段。
应理解，初始同步序列选择指示字段仅在测量模式＝0或1时启用，MMS测量序列选择指示字段仅在测量模式＝1或2时启用。
另外，第一信元中的发送端MMS代码字段、接收端MMS代码字段、MMS测量的发送端间隔尺寸、MMS测量的接收端间隔尺寸、发送端初始同步代码字段、发送端初始同步代码字段的含义如下所示：
发送端MMS代码字段：用于指示一个索引数值，该索引数值对应发送端(第一通信装置)在即将到来的第一测量过程中的用于发送UWB MMS分段信号的前导码序列。其中，该字段所指示的前导码序列可以来自Golay序列、CZC序列，或者Ipatov序列。

另外，本申请不对第一信元的具体名称做任何限定，比如，可以将第一信元称为增强型测距信道和前导码选择信元(enhanced ranging channel and preamble code selection information element，eRCPCS IE)等等。示例性地，新增的eRCPCS IE可以为对802.15.4z协议的表7-18(Table-7-18)定义的嵌套IE(nested IE)列表当中的预留列表行的复用，其中，列表行中的元素包括：IE的子ID数值(Sub-ID value)、IE名称(name)、IE类型、使用该IE的对象(Used by)(如，上层协议(upper layer，UL))、生成该IE的对象(Created by)(上层协议)等。其中，IE类型包括：数据类型(Data)、增强型信标类型、增强型确认消息类型、多用途类型等。
其中，新增的eRCPCS IE可以被需要执行测量功能的设备识别和处理。例如，发送端设备的协议上层配置eRCPCS IE，并传递给发送端设备的MAC层。还例如，接收端设备的MAC层将接收到的eRCPCS IE传递给接收端设备的上层协议，并由协议上层对eRCPCS IE进行识别处理等。
为便于理解，下面结合表3详细介绍新增的eRCPCS IE。
表3为现有802.15.4z协议的表7-18(Table 7-18)的拓展和延续，为了简洁协议，对于表7-18已有的定义未在表3体现。具体地，从表3可以看出，新增的eRCPCS IE可以添加到现有802.15.4z协议的表7-18(Table 7-18)定义的嵌套IE列表当中，作为802.15.4ab协议或后续版本协议当中的新增IE。具体地，可以使用现有802.15.4z协议的表7-18(Table 7-18)当中定义的嵌套IE列表当中的一个预留子ID数值(Sub-ID value)来指示新增的eRCPCS IE。
表3
其中，表3中的T可以为0x5d-0x7f当中的任意一个或多个数值。其中，表3可为现有802.15.4z协议表-7-18(Table-7-18)定义的嵌套IE列表的拓展和延续。另外，表3中的X表示该eRCPCS IE属于Data类型的IE，也即该eRCPCS IE由数据帧(data frame)进行承载。
图7是本申请实施例的第二信元的结构示意图。如图7所示，第二信元包括：前导码分段数量更新使能字段(update of number of preamble fragments enabled)、测量完整性分段数量存在指示(number of ranging integrity fragments present)字段、MMS模式(MMS mode)字段、前导码分段数量存在指示字段、前导码分段数量字段与测量完整性分段数量(number of ranging integrity fragments)字段等。
具体而言，前导码分段数量更新使能字段用于指示第二信元是否存在/触发MMS测量阶段的分段数量更新；数值0表示不触发，数值1表示触发。如果触发前导码分段数量更新，可选的，可以相应触发其它能够完成前导码分段数量更新的一个或多个IE和/或一个或多个帧结构来完成前导码分段数量更新，本申请不对其它能够完成前导码分段数量更新的一个或多个IE和/或一个或多个帧结构做任何限定。测量完整性分段数量存在指示字段用于指示表示第二信元是否存在/触发测量完整性分段数量字段；数值0表示不存在，数值1表示存在。第二信元中的MMS模式字段用于指示MMS的模式。其中，MMS mode＝0指示交错式MMS测距，MMS mode＝1指示非交错式MMS测距。其中，关于MMS 的类型可以参见图5，在此不再赘述。本申请不对MMS的模式的指示数值做任何限定，比如，也可以是MMS mode＝1指示交错式MMS测距，MMS mode＝0指示非交错式MMS测距。
需要说明的是，申请实施例不对第二信元的形式做任何的限定，任意能够体现本申请实施例中提出的字段和字段形式，都在本申请的保护范围内，本申请不做任何的限定。换言之，本申请实施例对第二信元的Update of Number of Preamble Fragments Enabled、Number of Ranging Integrity Fragments Present、MMS Mode、Number of Ranging Integrity Fragments等新引入的字段只是具体的示例，本申请不对这些字段的消息大小值和在信元中的位置做任何的限定，图7只是第二信元的一种示例形式。
另外，本申请实施例不对第二信元的具体名称做任何限定，比如，可以将第二信元称为增强型统一控制信元(enhanced unified control information element，eUC IE)。示例性地，新增的eUC IE可以为对802.15.4z协议的表7-18(Table-7-18)定义的嵌套IE列表当中的预留列表行的复用，其复用方式与前述对eRCPCS IE的复用方式类似，此处不再赘述。

具体而言，NBA支持类型字段指示第二通信装置是否支持NBA。其中，NBA支持类型字段的第一值(譬如，为0)指示第二通信装置不支持NBA，第二值(譬如，为1)指示第二通信装置支持NBA。
其中，NBA支持类型字段为0时，第二通信装置可通过预配置的UWB信号发送该指示信息，也可以用非UWB信号来发送该指示信息，比如，蓝牙信号。
其中，MMS支持类型字段用于指示第二通信装置是否支持MMS。MMS支持类型字段的第一值(譬如，为0)指示第二通信装置不支持MMS，第二值(譬如，为1)指示第二通信装置支持MMS。
相应地，第一通信装置向第二通信装置发送的反馈信息可以采用如表4所示的形式。
表4反馈信息的格式
其中，表4中的关联状态字段的各数值的含义解释如表5所示：
