具体实施方式
为了使本申请的目的、技术方案和优点更加清楚，下面将结合附图对本申请作进一步地详细描述。方法实施例中的具体操作方法、功能描述等也可以应用于装置实施例或系统实施例中。
如上文所述，在例如蜂窝通信系统和Wi-Fi系统的多系统共存环境中，需要对共存的信号进行设计、优化。
全球关于6GHz(5925MHz-7125MHz)频段的业务划分大致分为三类。以美国、加拿大、巴西、韩国、沙特阿拉伯等国家和地区为代表，可以将6GHz全部作为非授权频段可供Wi-Fi使用。以欧盟、俄罗斯等国家和地区为代表，可以将6GHz频段分段使用，即将5925-6425MHz作为非授权频段可以开放给Wi-Fi使用，6425-7125MHz(U6G)频段的分配仍未下定论，目前倾向于让蜂窝以及Wi-Fi在此频段共存使用。以亚洲、非洲区域及很多一带一路国家为代表，未明确的6GHz分配政策，但倾向作为授权频段保留给5G/6G。中国则将U6G频段分配给3GPP(即5G以及未来的6G)使用。在此背景下，欧洲的不少政府以及标准化组织开始将U6G频谱的使用纳入议事日程。例如在ECC(Electronic Communications Committee)的会议上，多国政府以及多家企业参与到U6G频谱该如何使用的议题中。主要的观点可以分为两大类方案共存方案，即类似于5G新无线非授权(5G New Radio-Unlicensed，NR-U)的独立运行(Standalone)方案，以及基于共存信号的方案。关于蜂窝和Wi-Fi的共存可以分为两类，例如NR-U以及基于共存信号的方案。其他的方案可以划归到这两大类中去。NR-U可以让蜂窝设备和Wi-Fi设备共享频谱资源，主要的要求是蜂窝设备在发送前需进行类似于随机接入的信道接入流程，根据使用场景的不同，NR-U可以分为类型1(Type 1)和类型2(Type 2)两类。Type 1(“listen before talk(LBT)cat4”),主要用于发起一段信道占用时间(channel occupancy time，COT)，通过检测信道状态、设置计数器回退的方式等待信道空闲。Type 2用于在同一段COT内部的多次发送之间。取决于发送间隔的不同,type 2的信道接入又分为三个不同的子类型(cat)。Type 2A(“LBT cat2”),主要用于间隔为25微秒,以及用于发现突发(Discovery Burst)的发送；Type 2B,发送间隔为16us；Type 2C(“LBT cat 1”),发送间隔小于16微秒。
共存信号的方案是在独立(standalone)方案的基础上引入蜂窝和Wi-Fi双方都能够检测到或者能够解码的信令，从而减少两个系统之间的冲突和干扰。其核心思想就是通过检测或解码跨技术方案的信令，各设备在此基础上自行授权(Self-authorized)访问共享介质，例如：Wi-Fi设备识别蜂窝信号，在此基础上使用可能的干扰规避机制。或者，蜂窝设备识别Wi-Fi信号，在此基础上使用可能的干扰规避机制。
从蜂窝的角度来看，此方案存在的主要问题是会严重影响蜂窝系统服务质量(QoS)，且存在资源冲突的可能性，会浪费掉很多空口时频资源。有鉴于此，本申请的实施例提出一种由蜂窝的基站来主导和协调资源调度的共存方案，包括共存信令及流程设计，在Wi-Fi设备和蜂窝系统间实现共存和互通，避免干扰，提高蜂窝系统QoS。
具体而言，本申请的实施例提供一种用于通信的技术方案，其中例如Wi-Fi接入点(Access Point，AP)的第二通信系统中的第二设备确定第二通信系统是否存在对通信资源的需求。在存在通信需求的情况下，第二通信系统中的第二设备向例如蜂窝通信系统gNB的第一通信系统的第一设备发送例如指示信号的第一信号。第一信号指示第二通信系统存在对通信资源的需求。如此，蜂窝系统可以根据Wi-Fi系统的需求向Wi-Fi系统分配资源，解决共存时的资源冲突，提高蜂窝系统的服务质量，提高空口资源利用效率。第一信号可以指示例如请求信号的第二信号的传输资源。例如蜂窝系统用户设备(UE)的第一通信系统的第三设备从第一通信系统的第一设备接收指示信息。该指示信息用于指示第一设备分配给第二通信系统的通信资源。进而，第一通信系统的第三设备避免在通信资源上执行信道检测。如此，可以降低例如用户设备的第一通信系统的第三设备的功耗，适用于例如IoT的多种应用场景。本领域普通技术人员可以理解，第一通信系统也可以是卫星通信系统、集群通信系统或其他通信系统，第二通信系统可以是蓝牙、ZigBee等其他通信系统，本申请对此不作限定。
图1示出了本申请实施例可以在其中实现的一种通信系统。
在实施例100中，第一通信系统的第一设备110可以是蜂窝通信系统的基站，例如5G或未来通信系统中的gNB等。第二通信系统的第二设备115可以是Wi-Fi系统的接入点(AP)。第一通信系统的第三设备120可以是第一通信系统的用户设备(UE)。第一通信系统的第一设备110的服务区域为135，第二通信系统的第二设备115的服务区域为140。第一通信系统的第一设备110和第二通信系统的第二设备115通过链路145进行在相同频谱中共存的信令协调。在服务区域135中可以有多个UE，例如120、125。UE120、125不处于服务区域140中。因此，UE 120、125使用蜂窝系统的服务，而不使用Wi-Fi的服务。第一通信系统的第三设备120也可以实现为UE 130，处于服务区域135、140的交叠范围内。此时，UE130的蜂窝协议部分使用蜂窝系统的服务，而不使用Wi-Fi的服务。第一通信系统也可以是卫星通信系统、集群通信系统或其他通信系统，第二通信系统可以是蓝牙、ZigBee等其他通信系统，本申请对此不作限定。
本申请实施例中的无线通信系统100可以应用于5G移动通信系统的三大应用场景增强移动宽带(enhanced mobile broadband，eMBB)，超高可靠性超低时延通信(ultra-reliable low-latency communication，URLLC)和增强型机器类通信(enhanced machine type communication，eMTC)等，或5G advanced或6G等通信系统场景。
应理解，以上无线通信系统既可适用于例如毫米波的高频场景(above 6G)，也可适用于低频场景(sub 6G)。无线通信系统的应用场景包括但不限于第五代系统(5G)、新无线(new radio，NR)通信系统等现有通信系统或未来的演进的公共陆地移动网络(public land mobile network，PLMN)系统等。

其中，终端设备可以是蜂窝电话、无绳电话、会话启动协议(session initiation protocol，SIP)电话、无线本地环路(wireless local loop，WLL)站、个人数字处理(personal digital assistant，PDA)设备、具有无线通信功能的手持设备、计算设备或连接到无线调制解调器的其他处理设备、车载设备、可穿戴设备、未来5G网络中的终端装置或者未来演进的PLMN中的终端装置等。
该终端设备120具体可以是手机(mobile phone)、平板电脑(pad)、带无线收发功能的电脑、虚拟现实(virtual reality，VR)终端、增强现实(augmented reality，AR)终端、工业控制(industrial control)中的无线终端、无人驾驶(self driving)中的无线终端、远程医疗(telemedicine)中的无线终端、智能电网(smart grid)中的无线终端、运输安全(transportation safety)中的无线终端、智慧城市(smart city)中的无线终端、智慧家庭(smart home)中的无线终端等。
另外，终端设备120可以部署在陆地上，包括室内或室外、手持或车载；终端设备120也可以部署在水面上(如轮船等)；终端设备120还可以部署在空中(例如飞机、气球和卫星上等)。网络设备可以是接入网设备(或称接入网站点)。其中，接入网设备是指有提供网络接入功能的设备，如无线接入网(radio access network，RAN)设备等等。例如第一设备110具体可包括基站(base station，BS)，或包括基站以及用于控制基站的无线资源管理设备等。例如第一设备110还可包括中继站(比如中继设备)、接入点以及5G网络中的基站或者NR基站、未来演进的PLMN网络中的基站等。接入网设备(例如第一设备110)可以是可穿戴设备或车载设备。例如第一设备110也可以是具有通信模块的通信芯片。

在一些部署中，例如蜂窝系统接入网设备的第一设备110可以包括集中式单元(centralized unit，CU)和(distributed unit，DU)。网络设备还可以包括有源天线单元(active antenna unit，AAU)。CU实现网络设备的部分功能，DU实现网络设备的部分功能，比如，CU负责处理非实时协议和服务，实现无线资源控制(radio resource control，RRC)，分组数据汇聚层协议(packet data convergence protocol，PDCP)层的功能。DU负责处理物理层协议和实时服务，实现无线链路控制(radio link control，RLC)层、媒体接入控制(media access control，MAC)层和物理(physical，PHY)层的功能。AAU实现部分物理层处理功能、射频处理及有源天线的相关功能。由于RRC层的信息最终会变成PHY层的信息，或者，由PHY层的信息转变而来，因而，在这种架构下，高层信令，如RRC层信令，也可以认为是由DU发送的，或者，由DU+AAU发送的。可以理解的是，网络设备可以为包括CU节点、DU节点、AAU节点中一项或多项的设备。此外，可以将CU划分为接入网，例如无线接入网(RAN)中的网络设备，也可以将CU划分为核心网(core network，CN)中的网络设备，本申请对此不做限定。网络设备的示例包括但不限于节点B(NodeB或NB)、演进的NodeB(eNodeB或eNB)、下一代NodeB(gNB)、发送接收点(TRP)、远程无线电单元(RRU)、无线电头(RH)、远程无线电头(RRH)、IAB节点、低功率节点，诸如毫微微节点、微微节点、可重构智能表面(RIS)、网络控制的中继器等。

图2示出了本申请实施例中多通信系统共存的信令图。在实施例200中，第一通信网的第一设备110、第二通信网的第二设备115、第一通信网的第三设备120分别对应于图1中第一设备110、第二设备115、第三设备120。第一通信系统(即第一通信网)包括蜂窝通信系统，第二通信系统(即第二通信网)包括Wi-Fi通信系统。
在210，第一通信网的第一设备110监测第一信号，第一信号指示第二通信网存在对通信资源的需求。在215，第二通信网的第二设备115确定第二通信网是否存在对通信资源的需求。第二通信网的第二设备115向第一通信网的第一设备110发送(218)第一信号220。如此，Wi-Fi系统可以根据需求向蜂窝通信系统请求资源，解决共存时的资源冲突，提高蜂窝系统的服务质量，提高空口资源利用效率。第一通信网的第一设备110向第一通信网的第三设备120发送(223)指示信息225。指示信息225指示第一设备110分配给第二通信网的通信资源。进而，第三设备120避免在通信资源上执行信道检测。如此，可以降低例如用户设备的第一通信网的第三设备120的功耗，可以用于例如物联网(IoT)的多种低功耗应用场景。
图3示出了本申请实施例中Wi-Fi接入点从蜂窝网节点请求资源的信令图。图4示出了本申请实施例中引导信号指示请求信号时频资源的示意图。
在实施例300中，蜂窝网节点gNB 310、Wi-Fi接入点315分别是图1、图2中第一设备110、第二设备115的具体实现。Wi-Fi接入点315可以是一个，也可以是多个，Wi-Fi接入点315也可以是Wi-Fi站点(Station)，本申请对此不作限定。
在一些实施例中，在317，Wi-Fi接入点315检测引导信号(guide signal)。蜂窝网节点gNB 310向Wi-Fi接入点315发送(318)例如引导信号320的第二信号。例如引导信号320的第二信号可以用于同步，以及指示例如请求信号(Request Signal)的第一信号的传输资源。引导信号320可以携带两个字段，即前导码字段和指示字段。前导码字段可以用于Wi-Fi接入点315与蜂窝系统的“下行”粗同步。指示字段用于给Wi-Fi接入点315指示(322)能用于发送请求信号325、340的时频资源。请求信号325、340对应于图2中的第一信号。如此，可以实现Wi-Fi系统和蜂窝系统之间的同步，并且gNB 310按照Wi-Fi接入点315的需求，向Wi-Fi系统分配资源，从而避免冲突，优先保证蜂窝系统的QoS，提高空口资源利用率。
在一些实施例中，第二信号可以被周期性发送。例如，引导信号320可以由gNB 310在频域固定位置使用协议约定的传输格式周期性广播，即图4中的引导信号405、410被周期性广播。如此，Wi-Fi接入点315可以快速捕获第二信号，实现和gNB 310的快速同步，并快速获取对请求信号的时频资源位置的指示。
在一些实施例中，在引导信号320指示的时频资源中，Wi-Fi接入点315发送(323)请求信号325，用于告知gNB 310在其覆盖的区域内存在Wi-Fi的频谱资源需求。对应于图4，引导信号405指示请求信号时频资源位置，Wi-Fi接入点315在此位置发送请求信号415。在一些实施例中，第一设备基于监测到第一信号，向至少一个第而设备发送调度信号。调度信号指示第一设备分配给第二通信系统的通信资源。例如，当gNB 305在请求信号资源位置检测到请求信号325(对应于图4中的请求信号415)时，则发送(328)调度信号330，进一步给Wi-Fi接入点315分配数据传输的时频资源。如gNB 310未在请求信号资源位置检测到请求信号325，则不发送调度信号330，即不给Wi-Fi分配资源。Wi-Fi接入点315接收到调度信号330后，在335使用调度信号330指示的资源进行数据传输。如此，gNB 310可以根据Wi-Fi接入点315的需求，向Wi-Fi系统动态调度传输资源，从而避免冲突，提高资源使用效率。
在一些实施例中，在两个例如引导信号的第二信号之间，可以有多个例如请求信号的第一信号。第二信号指示用于第一信号的首次传输资源，并且第一信号的后续传输资源在首次传输资源后，以预定周期重复出现。例如，在实施例400中，引导信号405、410之间可以有多个请求信号。引导信号405可以指示请求信号415的传输资源，而请求信号415、420、425的传输资源可以以预定周期重复出现。如此，引导信号可以高效、可靠地指示多个请求信号的传输资源，提高指示效率。
在一些实施例中，进一步的，当Wi-Fi接入点315再次需要传输数据，则在一定的时频资源位置发送(338)请求信号340(对应于图4中的请求信号420)，gNB 310检测请求信号340后发送(343)调度信号345，调度信号345指示分配给Wi-Fi接入点315的数据传输资源。在350，Wi-Fi接入点315使用调度信号345指示的资源进行数据传输。除了实施例300中示出的2个请求信号320、340，Wi-Fi接入点315可以在两个引导信号间根据需求发送多次请求信号，例如图4中的请求信号425等，本申请对此不作限定。如此，gNB 310可以对Wi-Fi的时频资源进行灵活调度，避免干扰，提高蜂窝系统QoS，提高资源利用率。
在一些实施例中，第三设备可以在检测到第二信号后，避免在第二信号指示的传输资源上检测信道。例如，例如UE的第三设备120通过解码引导信号320，从而不再检测请求信号325、340的时频资源以降低功耗。第三设备也可以在检测到调度信号后，不再检测调度信号调度给第二系统的资源。具体的，第三设备120可以解码引导信号320和请求信号325、340、调度信号330、345，从而不再检测通过调度信号330、345调度给Wi-Fi系统的资源，以降低功耗，提高电池使用寿命，例如应用于IoT等功耗敏感性场景。
在一些实施例中，请求信号可以向gNB 310反馈1比特信息，用于告知gNB 310在其覆盖范围内有Wi-Fi业务的资源需求，从而实现对无线资源的按需请求、分配。
在一些实施例中，在请求信号的前段可以预留定时器保护间隔(guard interval，GI)，后段预留定时器GI和传播时延保护间隔(propagation GI)。发端可以采用脉冲能量调制的方式发送信号，而收端可以使用能量检测的方式接收信号。如此，可以避免Wi-Fi AP的定时器误差和传播时延导致的干扰，实现请求信号的可靠接收，提高蜂窝系统和Wi-Fi系统共存的可靠性。
在一些实施例中，第一个请求信号的时频资源由引导信号指示，后续按照协议约定的周期Tr重复出现。直到gNB 310在某个请求信号时频资源上未检测到请求信号，则不再给Wi-Fi设备调度资源。如果连续x次(x可以是预定义数值)未检测到请求信号，则gNB 310释放请求信号的时频资源，直到下一轮重新发送引导信号。如此，gNB可以高效调度空口资源，提高资源使用效率，避免浪费。
在一些实施例中，在终端侧，例如UE的第三设备120在请求信号的时频资源，或在分配给Wi-Fi的时频资源上不检测信道，从而降低功耗，例如可以应用于IoT等多种场景。
图5示出了本申请实施例中请求信号的时域保护间隔的示意图。在实施例500中，505是例如Wi-Fi接入点315的发送端发送的请求信号，510是例如蜂窝网节点gNB 310的接收端接收的请求信号。请求信号505、510可以是图2中的第一信号的具体实现，也可以是图3中的请求信号325、340，图4中的请求信号415、420、425的具体实现。
在一些实施例中，例如请求信号的第一信号的可以向蜂窝基站310反馈一个比特，它由Wi-Fi AP 315发送，用于告知基站310在其覆盖范围内有Wi-Fi业务资源需求。如此，Wi-Fi AP 315可以清晰发出资源请求，并由gNB 310进行资源调度，防止冲突，提高资源利用率。
在一些实施例中，Wi-Fi AP 315发送的请求信号的设计，可以考虑信号传播延时以及可能的Wi-Fi接入点设备315的定时器“漂移”问题，例如由于较廉价的晶振而导致的Wi-Fi接入点设备的定时器“漂移”。具体来说，Wi-Fi AP 315可以通过gNB 310广播的下行信号，例如引导信号320获得下行的粗同步。但是Wi-Fi AP 315发送的请求信号505传播到基站310还有一个延时，并且Wi-Fi AP 315自身的定时器可能存在定时误差。因此，在一些实现方式中，第一信号的传输资源的前段和后段中的至少一者包括定时器保护间隔，定时器保护间隔不小于第二设备115的定时器偏移。第一信号的传输资源的后端包括传播保护间隔，传播保护间隔不小于第二设备115到第一设备110的传播时延。例如，处于发送端的、例如Wi-Fi AP 315的第二设备115在调度给它使用的请求信号时频资源内发送请求信号505时，前后都可以预留定时器保护间隔(timer GI)，其值不小于最大可能的定时器偏移值。请求信号505的时频资源的后段还可以预留传播保护间隔(propagation GI)，长度不小于预估的最大传播时延(propagation delay)，即保证在例如gNB 315的第一设备110的覆盖范围内，都不会导致干扰。在图5中，Wi-Fi AP 315发送的请求信号505前部的时域保护间隔为定时器保护间隔525，后部的时域保护间隔为定时器保护间隔+传播保护间隔530。Wi-Fi AP 315发送的请求信号505经过传播时延+定时器不确定性535，得到gNB 310接收的请求信号510。如此，可以在第二设备的定时器具有偏移时避免干扰，降低对第二设备的定时器的精度要求，并且在蜂窝系统gNB的覆盖范围内避免由于传播时延导致的干扰，提高可靠性。
在一些实施例中，第一信号的传输资源包括频域保护间隔，频域保护间隔不小于第一信号的频域偏移。例如，对Wi-Fi AP 315发送的请求信号505，可以在其频域传输资源的两侧设定频域保护间隔(图5中未示出)，频域保护间隔不小于请求信号505的频域偏移，从而降低对Wi-Fi AP 315的发送频率精度要求，提高可靠性。
图6示出了本申请实施例中请求信号的脉冲调制和信号传播的示意图。实施例600中的发送端请求信号605、接收端请求信号610可以是图2中的“第一信号”的具体实现，对应于图3中的请求信号325、340，并且分别对应于图5中的请求信号505、510。
在一些实施例中，对于例如请求信号325、340的第一信号，可以使用基于蜂窝与Wi-Fi的共存而设计的脉冲调制和能量检测方案。第二设备115基于脉冲调制将能量调制到第一信号的传输资源上。具体的，第二设备115基于第二设备115的参数集和射频发射功率约束，将能量调制到传输资源内的非保护间隔区域内的正交频分复用OFDM符号和子载波上。相应的，第一设备110在第一信号的传输资源上检测是否存在传输能量。具体的，第一设备110基于第一设备110的空口参数在传输资源的多个采样点上检测能量。进而，第一设备110计算多个采样点上的总能量，并且确定该能量是否大于能量阈值。例如，诸如Wi-Fi AP 315的第二设备115利用Wi-Fi的空口参数(numerology)，在满足射频发射功率约束的前提下，将能量调制到请求信号605的时频资源内、非保护间隔区域内的所有OFDM符号和子载波上。Wi-Fi AP 315发送的请求信号605经传播时延+定时器不确定性610，得到gNB 310接收的请求信号615。例如gNB 310的第一设备110进行能量检测，在蜂窝系统的请求信号时频资源内，按照蜂窝系统的空口参数，计算所有采样点的总能量。如果能量大于某个预设的阈值t，则判定gNB 310成功检测到请求信号615。如此，例如gNB 310的第一设备110可以用简单的能量检测方式检测例如请求信号的第一信号，降低计算复杂度。
图7示出了本申请实施例中多请求信号交叠的示意图。图7中的发送端请求信号705、710对应于图5中的请求信号505、图6中的请求信号605。图7中的接收端请求信号715、720对应于图5中的请求信号510、图6中的请求信号615。
在一些实施例中，由于请求信号的作用是Wi-Fi系统向蜂窝系统反馈资源请求，所以当小区内有多个Wi-Fi AP 315都利用这个时频资源来反馈请求信号中的这一个比特的请求时，只要gNB 310能检测到这一个比特的请求存在即可，并不需要区分到底是几个Wi-Fi AP 315或者具体是哪一个Wi-Fi AP 315发送的资源请求。分配给Wi-Fi系统的资源由Wi-Fi AP 315具体如何使用，可以由Wi-Fi系统内部协调。本申请实施例的方案可以满足多个Wi-Fi AP315同时发送请求信号的需求。当有多个Wi-Fi AP315在这个时频资源内发送能量脉冲时，gNB 310在此时频资源窗口中有更大的概率检测到总能量大于阈值t，因此能够更可靠地检测到这一个比特的请求信号。
在实施例700中，Wi-Fi AP1发送请求信号705，对应于gNB 310接收的请求信号715。Wi-Fi AP2发送请求信号710，对应于gNB接收的请求信号720。接收信号715、720相互交叠，总能量比单个接收信号715或720大，因此可以提高gNB 310检测到请求信号的概率，从而gNB 310可以更可靠地为Wi-Fi系统分配资源。
图8示出了本申请实施例中调度信号调度Wi-Fi时频资源的示意图。实施例800示出了请求信号本身的时频资源，即请求信号在时频资源的什么位置可以被Wi-Fi AP 315发送。实施例800还示出了对应于请求信号，gNB 310发送的调度信号，以及调度信号所调度的Wi-Fi系统可用于数据传输的时频资源。
在一些实施例中，第一通信系统的第一设备110向第二通信系统的至少一个第二设备115发送第二信号，第二信号指示用于第一信号的传输资源。第二信号可以周期性地重复被发送。例如，在实施例800中，例如gNB 310的第一设备110以Tg为周期，周期性地广播发送例如引导信号805、850的第二信号。例如Wi-Fi AP 315的第二设备115可以通过gNB 310广播的引导信号805获得“下行”的粗同步。如此，Wi-Fi AP 315可以快速与gNB 310进行同步，避免冲突，提高资源利用率。
在一些实施例中，第二信号指示用于第一信号的首次传输资源。第一信号的后续传输资源在首次传输资源后，以预定周期重复出现。例如，在诸如引导信号805的第二信号之后的，例如第一个请求信号810的第一信号的时频资源可以由该引导信号805进行指示。对后续请求信号825、840，其时频资源位置均周期性重复出现，间隔周期为预定义的Tr。如此，可以高效的指示请求信号的时频资源，利于Wi-Fi AP 315发出请求信号，提高请求效率。
在一些实施例中，第一设备110基于监测到第一信号，向至少一个第二设备115发送调度信号。调度信号指示第一设备110分配给第二通信系统的通信资源。例如，诸如gNB 310的第一设备110成功检测到例如请求信号810的第一信号，则向Wi-Fi AP 315发送调度信号815，调度信号815指示被调度的Wi-Fi时频资源820。Wi-Fi系统可以使用时频资源820进行数据传输。gNB 310成功检测到请求信号825，则向Wi-Fi AP 315发送调度信号830，调度信号830指示被调度的Wi-Fi时频资源835。Wi-Fi系统可以使用时频资源835进行数据传输。直到gNB 310在请求信号时频资源上未检测到请求信号840，则表明此时系统内没有Wi-Fi资源需求，从而不发送调度信号845，不再给Wi-Fi调度资源。如此，gNB 310可以按照Wi-Fi系统的需求进行资源调度，保证蜂窝系统的资源优先级，防止冲突，提高资源利用率。
在一些实施例中，第一设备110基于在用于第一信号的连续第一数目个周期性传输资源上未监测到第一信号，并且第一数目超过阈值数目，则释放第一信号的后续周期性传输资源。例如，gNB 310如果连续x次(x可以是预定义的，也可以在引导信号805、850中指示)未检测到请求信号，则请求信号时频资源也被释放，直到gNB 310下一轮重新发送引导信号。如此，可以在Wi-Fi系统较长时间没有通信资源需求的场景中，尽量节约请求信号时频资源的分配，充分保证蜂窝系统的优先级，提高资源利用效率。
图9示出了本申请实施例中用户终端在调度给Wi-Fi的时频资源不检测信道的示意图。实施例900中，蜂窝节点gNB 905、Wi-Fi节点AP 910、蜂窝节点UE 915可以分别是图1、图2中的第一设备110、第二设备115、第三设备120的具体实现。
在一些实施例中，第一通信系统的第三设备120从第一通信系统的第一设备110接收指示信息，指示信息用于指示第一设备分配给第二通信系统的通信资源。进而，第三设备120避免在通信资源上执行信道检测。在指示信息指示的通信资源之后，第三设备120恢复执行信道检测。例如，在920，例如Wi-Fi节点AP 910的第三设备120检测信道。例如Wi-Fi节点AP 910的第二设备115接收(923)例如蜂窝节点gNB 905的第一设备110发送的、例如引导信号925的第二信号。Wi-Fi节点AP 910也接收引导信号925。引导信号925指示(926)例如请求信号930的第一信号的时频资源位置。Wi-Fi节点AP 910在引导信号925指示的时频资源位置发送(927)请求信号930，并接收(933)例如调度信号935的指示信息。在940，Wi-Fi节点AP 910使用调度信号935指示的时频资源进行数据传输。例如蜂窝节点UE 915的第三设备120接收(923)引导信号925后，接收(928)请求信号930，还接收(933)调度信号935，从而获取蜂窝节点gNB 905调度给Wi-Fi节点AP 910的时频资源。然后，蜂窝节点UE 915可以在调度给Wi-Fi的资源上不再检测，从而降低功耗。蜂窝节点UE 915也可以在调度给Wi-Fi的资源结束之后立刻恢复信道检测，提升业务响应速度。在一些实施例中，蜂窝节点UE 915也可以在引导信号925所指示的请求信号930的时频资源上停止检测信道，从而降低功耗；并在请求信号930的时频资源后恢复检测，提升业务响应速度。
在一些实施例中，指示信息经由第一通信系统和第二通信系统的共存信号而被接收，或者指示信息经由第一通信系统中的指示信号而被接收。例如，针对实施例900，蜂窝节点gNB 905可以通过共存信号，把调度给Wi-Fi的资源指示发送给Wi-Fi节点AP 910以及蜂窝节点UE 915，从而节约空口资源。或者，蜂窝节点gNB 905可以对Wi-Fi节点AP 910和蜂窝节点UE 915分开进行调度、指示，从而进行更加灵活的调度。
图10示出了本申请实施例中第一通信系统的第一设备110的处理流程图。在流程1000中，在1010，第一通信网的第一设备110监测来自第二通信系统的至少一个第二设备115的第一信号。第一信号指示第二通信系统存在对通信资源的需求。第一通信系统包括蜂窝通信系统，第二通信系统包括Wi-Fi通信系统。将理解，流程1000还可以包括上文参考图2至图9描述的在第一设备或蜂窝网gNB处实现的其他操作，本文不再赘述。
