  • the first BWP and the second BWP use the same duplex mode. That is, the duplex mode of the first BWP and the second BWP is determined based on the configuration of the frequency band level to which they both belong.

  • TDD-UL/DL-ConfigurationCommon is used to configure the time slot structure of the second BWP
  • TDD-UL/DL-ConfigurationCommon2 is used to configure the time slot structure of the first BWP.
  • the frequency band level configuration is configured using Frequency Division Duplexing (FDD), in which case all BWPs of all carriers within the frequency band are FDD.

  • the frequency band-level FDD configuration includes pure uplink frequency bands, such as BWP-1 and BWP-2 in CC-1, where the former is the first BWP and the latter is the second BWP. Furthermore, the frequency band-level FDD configuration also includes pure downlink frequency bands, such as BWP-1 and BWP-2 in CC-2, where the former is the first BWP and the latter is the second BWP.
  • the configuration information in step S101 can be obtained by selecting a combination of BWPs in CC-1 and CC-2.
  • the configuration information can indicate BWP-1 of CC-1 and BWP-2 of CC-2. Accordingly, the UE can receive sensing signals via BWP-1 of CC-1, or the network device can receive echo signals via BWP-1 of CC-1 and perform uplink communication via BWP-2 of CC-2.

That is, although a separate BWP is configured in the carrier for sensing, the UE can still have a maximum of one active BWP on a single CC at any given time, performing sensing services through switching. Thus, the UE only needs to prepare one set of BWP radio frequency resources to realize sensing and communication services in frequency division multiplexing, resulting in low implementation cost.
  • the communication method of this embodiment may further include the step of: receiving sensing trigger information, which may be used to trigger the transmission of sensing signals or to indicate switching to the first BWP.
  • the UE can communicate on the second BWP by default, and in response to receiving a sensing trigger information, the UE can switch to the first BWP by default to perform sensing.

  • the UE since the UE knows in advance that it will need to switch to another service-related BWP, it can begin the accurate handover some time before the actual transmission of signals/channels/data for that service.
  • This advance preparation time can be called the preparation time.
  • the UE can prepare the signals/channels/data that need to be transmitted on the BWP to which it needs to switch, so that signal/channel/data transmission can begin immediately after the handover.
  • the specific value of the preparation time can refer to the values specified in existing BWP handover related protocols. In practical applications, the aforementioned values can also be adjusted as needed to reasonably determine the preparation time.
  • the configuration information configures BWP-1 as the first BWP and BWP-2 as the second BWP, and configures the UE to periodically transmit sensing signals.

具体实施方式
如背景技术所言，未来第六代移动通信技术(The Sixth-Generation mobile communications，简称6G)的通信可能引入感知功能，而现阶段对于用于感知的资源和用于通信的资源的分配机制尚不明确。
如果资源分配不合理，将造成感知业务和通信业务中的至少一个无法得到及时、正确地处理，影响用户的使用体验。具体而言，新空口(New Radio，简称NR，也可称为新无线)中常用的复用方式主要包括时分复用(Time Division Multiplexing，简称TDM)、频分复用(Frequency Division Multiplexing，简称FDM)以及码分复用(Code Division Multiplexing，简称CDM)。如果通信和感知沿用CDM方式进行复用，UE同一时间只能进行一种类型的业务，在进行对时延敏感的业务时显然是不利的。例如若通信业务对时延比较敏感，而接下来一段时间UE被配置进行感知业务，则很有可能等到感知业务完成时通信业务已经超时导致用户无法正确享受通信业务提供的服务。如果通信和感知采用CDM，在UE侧的实现成本较高，整体方案的实现复杂度也较大。
因此，采用FDM进行通信和感知是一种较优的解决方案，而现阶段尚缺乏合适的处理机制来实现通信和感知的FDM。
为解决上述技术问题，本公开实施例提供一种通信方法，包括：网络设备向UE发送配置信息，相应的，UE接收配置信息，配置信息用于配置第一频域资源和第二频域资源，第一频域资源用于感知，第二频域资源用于通信；UE使用第一频域资源发送感知信号，相应的，网络设备接收回波信号，回波信号与经由第一频域资源发送的感知信号相关联；UE使用第二频域资源与网络设备进行通信。
由此，通过本公开方案能够实现通信和感知的频分复用，使得UE能够并行地进行通信业务和感知业务，提高业务处理效率。具体而言，通过配置信息为UE分配频分复用的第一频域资源和第二频域资源，第一频域资源和第二频域资源可以对应相同的时间单元，从而UE可以在同一时间单元进行通信业务和感知业务。由此，感知业务和通信业务均能够及时得以实现，尤其对时延敏感的业务而言是有利的。
本公开实施例中的感知业务，是指具备感知功能的感知节点(也称，感知设备)对感知目标进行感知以获取感知目标相关信息的业务。感知业务可以应用于物联网领域。在一些实施例中，感知业务可以包括速度感知业务，用于对感知目标的移动速度进行估计。在另一些实施例中，感知业务可以包括距离感知业务，用于对感知目标的距离进行估计。感知业务属于通信感知一体化(简称通感一体化)系统的感知场景提供的服务。感知场景中，作为感知发起端(sensing initiator)的感知节点发送感知信号，作为感知接收端(sensing responder)的感知节点接收感知信号作用至感知目标后产生的信号并对接收到的信号进行感知算法处理。针对处理后的感知结果，可以通过上行信道汇报给基站或者感知功能(sensing function，SF)，也可以供接收到信号的感知节点自己使用，还可以供其他UE使用。感知功能可以是核心网的网元。感知节点可以为UE，也可以为网络设备。
对于单站感知模式，感知发起端和感知接收端是同一感知节点，也即感知节点自己发送感知信号并接收感知信号作用至感知目标后返回的信号。单站感知模式中感知接收端接收到的信号记作回波信号。采用单站感知模式的感知类型可以包括UE自发自收和网络设备自发自收。
对于双站感知模式，感知发起端和感知接收端可以是不同感知节点，也即，感知节点A发感知信号，感知节点B接收感知信号作用至感知目标后产生的信号。双站感知模式中感知接收端接收到的信号通常称作接收信号，本实施例中为便于表述，将单站和双站感知模式中感知接收端接收到的信号统称为回波信号。采用双站感知模式的感知类型可以包括：网络设备发送UE接收、网络设备a发送网络设备b接收、UE发送网络设备接收，以及UEa发送UEb接收。为便于表述，本实施方案中将感知发起端记作a端，感知接收端记作b端。在一些实施例中，对于a发b收的感知方式，a端也可以收到感知回波信号，也即，此时感知发起端在进行双站感知模式的同时还可以进行单站感知模式。
为使本公开的上述目的、特征和有益效果能够更为明显易懂，下面结合附图对本公开的具体实施例做详细的说明。
图1是本公开第一实施例一种通信方法的流程图。
本实施方案可以应用于UE与网络设备之间既有通信业务，又有感知业务的应用场景。
在具体实施例中，下述步骤S101～步骤S103所提供的通信方法可以由UE中的具有通信功能的芯片执行，也可以由UE中的基带芯片执行。在本具体实施中，UE在感知场景中可以作为感知发起端。
具体地，参考图1，本实施方案通信方法可以包括如下步骤：
步骤S101，接收配置信息，配置信息用于配置第一频域资源和第二频域资源，第一频域资源用于感知，第二频域资源用于通信；
步骤S102，使用第一频域资源发送感知信号；
步骤S103，使用第二频域资源进行通信。
步骤S102和步骤S103可以是并行执行的。两个步骤可以同时执行，也可以先后执行(例如，下述图7和图8所示实施例在第一频域资源和第二频域资源之间切换以依次进行通信和感知的情形)。
更为具体地，参考图2，可供网络设备配置的总资源按频域划分为用于通信的第二频域资源以及用于感知的第一频域资源。也就是说，用于感知的信号或信号，与用于通信的信号或信道频分复用。
第二频域资源例如可以包括，用于传输数据(data)的频域资源、用于传输物理上行控制信道(Physical Uplink Control Channel，简称PUCCH)的频域资源、用于传输物理下行共享信道(Physical Downlink Shared Channel，简称PDSCH)的频域资源等。
在第一频域资源上可以传输的信息类型可以包括，用于感知的感知参考信号，或者基于感知参考信号测量得到的感知结果信息，还可以包括UE和网络设备之间建立链路的高层信令等。
本应用场景中，用于通信的资源和用于感知的资源频分复用，例如，总资源在频域上一共占据若干个子载波，将其中n个(n＞0)子载波分配给第一频域资源，剩下的可以全部或者部分分配给第二频域资源。进一步，第一频域资源和第二频域资源可以对应相同的时域资源。由此，通信业务和感知业务能够同时进行。
在一些实施例中，感知信号可以包括感知参考信号，也即用于感知的参考信号，如信道状态信息参考信号(Channel State Information-Reference Signal，简称CSI-RS)、定位参考信号(Positioning reference signal，简称PRS)、探测参考信号(Sounding Reference Signal，简称SRS)。
进一步，与通信频分复用的还可以例如是回波信号，其中携带有针对感知目标的感知信息(即，感知结果)。
进一步，与通信频分复用的还可以例如是测量报告，测量报告基于回波信号处理得到。
在一些实施例中，可以通过信道的形式携带感知信号。在本示例中，感知信号可以称为感知信道，即用于感知的信道。
本申请提及的信息可以由网络侧通过高层信令(如无线资源控制(Radio Resource Control，简称RRC))进行配置。或者可以通过下行控制信息(Downlink Control Information，简称DCI)或者媒体访问控制层控制单元(Medium Access Control-Control Element，简称MAC-CE)来承载信息。
总的来说，感知和通信的频域复用方式可以按照载波单元(Carrier component，简称CC)级别(CC-level)，部分带宽(Bandwidth Part，简称BWP)级别(BWP-level)和BWP内级别(inner-BWP-level)三个层级进行划分。接下来对三个层级的具体实现进行详细阐述。
在一个具体实施方式中，对于CC-level情况下通信和感知的频分复用，第一频域资源和第二频域资源中的任一频域资源可以包括载波。
具体而言，配置信息可以包括第一信息，用于配置至少一个载波。例如，配置信息可以包括下列信息至少之一：各载波的索引、各载波在频域上的频段、各载波对应的预设最大发射功率等参数。预设最大发射功率是指UE在服务小区c、载波f上配置的最大允许发射功率。
进一步，配置信息还可以包括指示信息，用于指示至少一个载波与感知的关联关系。
例如，可以通过1比特指示，以使能或去使能对应的载波是否具备感知功能。假设载波1(CC-1)对应的指示信息赋值为0，表明该载波1不具备感知功能，也即载波1属于第二频域资源用于通信。假设载波2(CC-2)对应的指示信息赋值为1，表明该载波2具备感知功能，也即载波2属于第一频域资源用于感知。
由此，第一频域资源和第二频域资源可以从同一个载波组中选取得到，网络侧无需预先为不同类型的业务分别配置对应的载波组，有利于提高资源利用率。
在一个具体实施方式中，可以引入用于感知的载波组的概念，也即，预先配置和划分用于感知的载波组(记作，第一载波组)和/或用于通信的载波组(记作，第二载波组)。可以存在多个第一载波组，也可以存在多个第二载波组。对于第一载波组和第二载波组中的任一载波组，单个载波组中可以包括至少一个载波。
相应的，配置信息中配置的至少一个载波组可以选自至少一个第一载波组和至少一个第二载波组。
例如，参考图3，第一载波组可以包括载波1(CC-1)、载波2(CC-2)和载波3(CC-3)，各载波在时域上的传输方向如图所示，D-S表示用于感知的下行传输时隙、X表示灵活时隙(flexible slot)或者灵活符号(flexible symbol)、U-S表示用于感知的上行传输时隙。
继续参考图3，第二载波组可以包括载波4(CC-4)、载波5(CC-5)和载波6(CC-6)，各载波在时域上的传输方向如图所示，D表示下行、X表示灵活、U表示上行。
进一步，配置信息可以从第一载波组和第二载波组中各选取至少一个载波或者一个载波组配置给UE。例如，假设配置信息包括索引1和5，表明UE被配置了CC-1用于感知、CC-5用于通信，相应的，CC-1即为第一频域资源，CC-5即为第二频域资源。又例如，配置信息包括索引1、3和5，表明UE被配置了CC-1和CC-3用于感知、CC-5用于通信，相应的，CC-1和CC-3即为第一频域资源，CC-5即为第二频域资源。
在一些实施例中，各载波可以有对应的预设最大发射功率。例如，CC-1、CC-2和CC-3分别对应用于感知的预设最大发射功率Ps-cmax,f,c，CC-4、CC-5和CC-6分别对应预设最大发射功率Pcmax,f,c。三个Ps-cmax,f,c的具体数值可以相同也可以不同，类似的，三个Pcmax,f,c的具体数值可以相同也可以不同。
网络侧可以通过高层信令，配置每个用于感知的载波各自对应的预设最大发射功率的上界值和下界值。也即，UE在使用配置的载波发送感知信号时的预设最大发射功率可以任意取值自高层信令配置的预设数值区间＝[上界值，下界值]。类似的，网络设备还可以通过高层信令配置每个用于通信的载波各自对应的预设最大发射功率的上界值和下界值。
进一步，对于配置信息所配置的至少一个载波中的每一载波，使用载波发送感知信号或进行通信的发射功率不大于载波对应的预设最大发射功率。例如，UE使用CC-1发送感知信号的发射功率，不能大于CC-1对应的Ps-cmax,f,c。又例如，UE使用CC-4进行通信的发射功率，需要小于等于CC-4对应的Pcmax,f,c。
进一步，使用第一频域资源发送感知信号的发射功率和使用第二频域资源进行通信的发射功率之和，不大于预设总最大发射功率(记作Pcmax)。仍以配置信息包括索引1、3和5为了，UE使用CC-1发送感知信号的发射功率使用CC-3发送感知信号的发射功率以及使用CC-5进行通信的发射功率三者之和，不能大于Pcmax。
进一步，Pcmax也可以通过配置信息配置给UE。
由此，用于感知的载波组和用于通信的载波组各自有对应的最大发射功率(即，预设最大发射功率)，然后合在一起又有同一个更大的功率约束(即，预设总最大发射功率)。这有利于在通信和感知频分复用时合理确定两种业务之间的功率分配。
在一些实施例中，在功率受限的情况下，也即，使用第一频域资源发送感知信号的发射功率和使用第二频域资源进行通信的发射功率之和，超过了预设总最大发射功率，则可以采用感知优先(或通信优先)的方式优先将发射功率分配给感知业务(或通信业务)。
具体而言，可以通过协议规定在功率受限时以感知优先还是通信优先的方式进行功率分配。此时，优先级排序靠后的通信或感知业务对应的频域资源上的发射功率被限制。
在一些实施例中，第一载波组中的载波和第二载波组中的载波可以存在交叉，也就是说，一个载波可以既用于通信又用于感知。配置信息可以指示(例如通过前述1比特的指示信息指示)该载波本次所服务的业务。在本示例中，同一载波可以配置两个预设最大发射功率。
具体而言，载波对应的预设最大发射功率可以包括第一功率和第二功率，第一功率和感知相关联，第二功率和通信相关联。换言之，同一载波可以既被配置Ps-cmax,f,c，又被配置Pcmax,f,c。
进一步，根据当前时刻该载波具体传输的信号/信道/数据类型确定该载波对应的预设最大发射功率。
例如，参考图4，网络设备可以预先(例如，通过高层信令)配置三个载波组：第一载波组1、第一载波组2和第二载波组，其中，第一载波组1包括CC-1、CC-2和CC-3，第一载波组2包括CC-4和CC-7，第二载波组包括CC-4、CC-5和CC-6。可见，第一载波组2和第二载波组共用CC-4。
进一步，CC-4可以被配置第一功率Ps-cmax,f,c和第二功率Pcmax,f,c。假设配置信息指示第一频域资源包括CC-4和CC-1，第二频域资源包括CC-5和CC-6，则UE确定使用CC-4发送感知信号时以CC-4对应的第一功率Ps-cmax,f,c作为功率分配约束条件。
在一些实施例中，配置信息可以指示第一频域资源和第二频域资源均包括CC-4，UE可以根据当前时刻实际使用CC-4进行的业务类型确定以第一功率Ps-cmax,f,c和第二功率Pcmax,f,c作为功率分配约束条件。例如，假设根据网络设备的调度，UE在时刻t1使用CC-4发送感知信号，则UE确定在时刻t1以CC-4对应的第一功率Ps-cmax,f,c作为功率分配约束条件。又例如，假设随着网络设备的进一步调度，UE在时刻t2使用CC-4与网络设备进行下行数据接收，则UE确定在时刻t2以CC-4对应的第二功率Pcmax,f,c作为功率分配约束条件。
在另一些实施例中，第一载波组和第二载波组中的载波可以没有交集，也即每个载波固定地服务于单一业务，如图3所示。
在另一些实施例中，Ps-cmax,f,c的数值可以等于Pcmax,f,c的数值。此时，网络侧可以不需要额外配置Ps-cmax,f,c的具体数值。
在另一些实施例中，Ps-cmax,f,c的上界值可以等于Pcmax,f,c的上界值，和或Ps-cmax,f,c的下界值可以等于Pcmax,f,c的下界值。
在一个具体实施方式中，对于BWP-level情况下通信和感知的频分复用，第一频域资源可以包括第一BWP，第二频域资源可以包括第二BWP。第二BWP是独立于第一BWP的BWP，换言之，可以配置独立的BWP用于感知。
具体而言，配置信息可以包括第二信息，至少用于配置第二BWP。
在一些实施例中，可以通过在一个载波内配置1个激活BWP用于感知用途。可选的，一个载波内可以同时有2个激活BWP，一个用于感知，另一个用于通信。其中，2个激活BWP可以是用于感知的初始BWP和用于通信的初始BWP，或者也可以是用于感知的非初始BWP和用于通信的非初始BWP。
在一些实施例中，可以在配置信息中新增初始第二BWP的相关参数信息，具体的参数类型和内容可以参考现有通信协议中关于BWP的配置规定。
例如，可以在下行公共配置信息元素(DownlinkConfigCommon information element)中增加用于感知的初始下行BWP(initialDownlinkBWPforsensing)参数，以配置初始的第二BWP的相关信息。初始的第二BWP是指默认激活的第二BWP，也即初始激活的用于感知的BWP。
又例如，可以在服务小区配置信息元素(ServingCellConfig information element)中增加针对释放列表的用于感知的下行BWP(downlinkBWPforsensing-ToReleaseList)参数，以及，针对添加修改列表的用于感知的下行BWP(downlinkBWPforsensing-ToAddModList)参数，以配置可供UE切换的候选的第二BWP的相关信息。可选的，UE可以根据网络设备发送的切换指令，从当前激活的第二BWP切换至候选的第二BWP，候选的第二BWP相应的成为激活BWP。
进一步，第二信息还可以用于配置第一BWP。例如，可以通过DownlinkConfigCommon information element中的初始下行BWP(initialDownlinkBWP)参数配置初始的第一BWP。初始的第一BWP是指默认激活的第一BWP，也即初始激活的用于通信的BWP。
又例如，可以通过ServingCellConfig information element中的针对释放列表的下行BWP(downlinkBWP-ToReleaseList)参数，以及，针对添加修改列表的下行BWP(downlinkBWP-ToAddModList)参数，配置一个或多个候选的第二BWP。
在一些实施例中，配置信息还可以包括第三信息，用于激活第一BWP和/或第二BWP。第三信息可以例如是前述切换指令，用于在多个候选的第一BWP中切换激活的第一BWP，类似的，第三信息可以用于在多个候选的第二BWP中切换激活的第二BWP。
例如，第三信息可以承载于RRC或DCI或者MAC-CE。
在一些实施例中，第一BWP和/或第二BWP的激活状态也可以是响应于定时器到期而进行切换的。
在一个具体实施方式中，第一BWP和第二BWP可以属于同一载波，并且，第一BWP和第二BWP均为激活BWP。换言之，UE在一个CC上可以同时有2个激活BWP。
例如，假设一个载波里配置了4个BWP，现有技术同一时间只能有一个激活BWP，而采用本实施方案，在一个CC里可以配置2个BWP用于通信，2个BWP用于感知，并且同一时间有两个激活BWP。其中一个激活BWP用于通信，另一个激活BWP用于感知。
进一步，第一BWP和第二BWP采用相同的双工方式。也就是说，第一BWP和第二BWP的双工方式根据两者共同所属的频带(band)层级的配置结果确定。
在一些实施例中，频带层级可以采用时分双工(Time Division Duplexing，简称TDD)方式进行配置(例如，资源配置)，则频带内所有载波的所有BWP均为TDD。可选的，一个载波内的第一BWP和第二BWP的TDD时隙结构可以完全一致。
参考图5，CC-1包括BWP-1和BWP-2，其中，BWP-1为第一BWP，BWP-2为第二BWP。进一步，BWP-1和BWP-2均采用TDD方式进行感知或通信。进一步，BWP-1和BWP-2均为激活BWP。图5中，BWP-1和BWP-2同是TDD，其中，时刻t0至时刻t1的传输方向为下行，时刻t1至时刻t2的传输方向为灵活，时刻t2至时刻t3的传输方向为上行。时刻t0至时刻t1的时间长度可以包括两个时隙，也可以包括两个符号。相应的，UE在时刻t0至时刻t1可以经由BWP-1接收回波信号，经由BWP-2进行下行接收。UE在时刻t2至时刻t3经由BWP-1发送感知信号，经由BWP-2进行上行发送。
进一步，TDD模式下，第一BWP和第二BWP的传输方向可以相同，如图5所示。此时，感知信号的发送方向和通信方向一致。例如，可以通过一个tdd-上行/下行公共配置(tdd-UL/DL-ConfigurationCommon)信令同时指示第一BWP和第二BWP的时隙格式配置情况。
或者，TDD模式下，第一BWP和第二BWP的传输方向可以不相同。例如，图5中时刻t0至时刻t1期间，BWP-1的传输方向为上行，BWP-2的传输方向为下行。在一些实施例中，可以通过两个tdd-上行/下行公共配置(tdd-UL/DL-ConfigurationCommon)信令分别配置第一BWP和第二BWP的时隙结构。例如，tdd-UL/DL-ConfigurationCommon用于配置第二BWP的时隙结构，tdd-UL/DL-ConfigurationCommon2用于配置第一BWP的时隙结构。
在另一些实施例中，频带层级配置采用频分双工(Frequency Division Duplexing，简称FDD)方式进行配置，则频带内所有载波的所有BWP均为FDD。
具体而言，参考图6，频带层级的FDD配置包括纯上行频带，例如CC-1中的BWP-1和BWP-2，前者为第一BWP后者为第二BWP。进一步，频带层级的FDD配置还包括纯下行频带，例如CC-2中的BWP-1和BWP-2，前者为第一BWP后者为第二BWP。
进一步，步骤S101中的配置信息可以选取CC-1和CC-2中的BWP组合得到。例如，配置信息可以指示CC-1的BWP-1和CC-2的BWP-2，相应的，UE可以经由CC-1的BWP-1接收感知信号或者网络设备可以经由CC-1的BWP-1接收回波信号、经由CC-2的BWP-2进行上行通信。又例如，配置信息可以指示CC-1的BWP-1和BWP-2，相应的，网络设备经由CC-1的BWP-1接收回波信号、经由CC-1的BWP-2进行下行通信。
由此，可以实现业务处理效率最大化，即同一时间UE可以在两个激活的BWP上分别进行感知业务和通信业务。
在一个具体实施方式中，第一BWP和第二BWP属于同一载波，并且，第一BWP和第二BWP可以交替地切换为激活BWP。也就是说，虽然在载波中配置独立的BWP专用于感知，但UE在一个CC上同一时刻还是最多有1个激活BWP，通过切换的形式进行感知业务。由此，UE准备一套BWP的射频资源即可频分复用地实现感知和通信业务，实现成本低。
对于通过诸如动态调度触发的感知业务，在步骤S101之后、步骤S102之前，本实施方案通信方法还可以包括步骤：接收感知触发信息，感知触发信息可以用于触发感知信号的发送或者用于指示切换到第一BWP。
例如，UE可以默认在第二BWP上进行通信，响应于接收到感知触发信息，UE可以默认切换到第一BWP以进行感知。
在一些实施例中，感知触发信息可以承载于DCI或者MAC-CE或者RRC信令。
在一些实施例中，配置信息可以用于配置多个候选BWP，多个候选BWP均用于感知。不同的候选BWP可以用于进行不同的感知，如感知业务的具体细分类别不同、需求不同等可以分别配置对应的候选BWP。
进一步，感知触发信息还可以用于指示目标BWP作为第一BWP，目标BWP选自多个候选BWP。
进一步，感知触发信息可以携带BWP的索引(BWP-ID)，UE将该索引对应的候选BWP确定为第一BWP。例如，参考图7，假设配置信息配置了4个BWP，其中BWP-2为第二BWP，BWP-1、BWP-3和BWP-4均用于感知(即这三个BWP均为候选BWP)，DCI携带的BWP-ID为1，则UE确定需要切换至BWP-1上发送感知信号。此时，BWP-1即为第一BWP。
进一步，继续参考图7，响应于在BWP-1上的感知业务完成，UE可以主动切换回BWP-2以继续进行通信业务。图7中，虚线表示该处资源未被实际使用。
对于周期性或者办持续的感知业务，UE可以周期性地在第一BWP和第二BWP之间切换以周期性或办持续地发送感知信号，如图8所示。
具体而言，由于UE预先知道接下来需要切换至另一业务关联的BWP，因而在该业务的信号/信道/数据实际发送之前一段时间UE就可以开始准确切换，这段提前准备的时间也可称作准备时间。在准备时间内，UE可以准备需要切换过去的BWP上需要传输的信号/信道/数据等，以便在切换过去后立即开始信号/信道/数据的传输。在一些实施例中，准备时间的具体数值可以参考现有BWP切换相关协议中规定的数值。在实际应用中，也可以根据需要对前述数值进行调整合理确定准备时间的用时。
例如，参考图8，配置信息配置BWP-1为第一BWP，BWP-2为第二BWP，并配置UE周期性的进行感知信号的发送。则UE可以周期性地在BWP-2和BWP-1之间切换以分别进行通信业务和感知业务。
在一个典型的应用场景中，继续参考图8，假设UE采用自发自收模式进行感知，UE在之前已经切换至BWP-1上发送感知信号并切换回BWP-2进行下行接收。则UE在下一个感知周期时从BWP-2切换至BWP-1，并经由BWP-1接收回波信号。响应于接收到回波信号，UE又周期性地切换回BWP-2进行上行发送。在上行发送期间，UE后台可以处理接收到的回波信号以获取感知结果，进而基于感知结果生成测量报告。进一步，在下一个感知周期到来时UE可以从BWP-2切换至BWP-1，并经由BWP-1向网络设备上报测量报告。
在一个具体实施方式中，响应于使用第二BWP进行通信的时间段和使用第一BWP发送感知信号的时间段存在重叠(overlapping)，UE可以根据通信和感知的优先级排序判断是否切换激活BWP。
具体而言，虽然存在重叠的时间段时UE可以在两个BWP上同时并发、同时并收、并发并收，但考虑到仍会存在一定干扰，因而优选地保证其中一个BWP上的业务顺利进行。
进一步，使用第一BWP发送感知信号的时间段可以包括实际传输时长和/或头尾BWP切换的准备时间(retuning time)。
响应于切换后BWP上传输的信号或信道的优先级高于与之同时传输(overlapping)的切换前BWP上传输的信号或信道的优先级，确定切换激活BWP。
响应于切换后BWP上传输的信号或信道的优先级低于与之同时传输的切换前BWP上传输的信号或信道的优先级，确定不切换激活BWP。
在一些实施例中，可以预先定义控制信令、同步信令的优先级高于感知信号。控制信令可以例如是物理随机接入信道(Physical Random Access Channel，简称PRACH)、物理下行控制信道(Physical Downlink Control Channel，简称PDCCH)、物理上行控制信道(Physical Uplink Control Channel，简称PUCCH)。同步信令可以例如是同步信号块(Synchronization Signal/Physical Broadcast Channel Block，简称SS/PBCH BLOCK，也即，SSB)。
假设UE当前在BWP-2上接收SSB，参考图8，如果SSB的接收在t0时刻结束，则进行通信的时间段和发送感知信号的时间段刚好不重叠，此时无需进行优先级比较，UE可以在t0时刻开始准备切换并在t1时刻切换至BWP-1进行感知业务。
如果SSB的结束时间位于t0时刻以后，则将存在重叠的时间段，此时需要进行优先级比较。由于SSB的优先级高于感知信号，因而UE仍保持在BWP-2不进行BWP切换。如果SSB的接收在t2时刻之前结束并且UE未进行其他通信，则到了t2时刻不存在重叠的时间段，此时UE可以开始准备切换并在t3时刻切换至BWP-1进行感知业务。
在一个具体实施方式中，对于inner-BWP-level情况下的通信和感知的频分复用，第一频域资源可以包括第一子带，第二频域资源可以包括第二子带。
具体而言，配置信息可以包括第四信息，用于配置第一子带和第二子带。进一步，第一子带和第二子带属于同一BWP。例如，第四信息可以包含有第一子带和/或第二子带的如下参数至少之一：子带起始频域位置、子带结束频域位置、子带带宽等。
在一些实施例中，第一子带和第二子带的传输方向可以相同。例如，参考图9，BWP-1包括子带-1(subband-1)和子带-2(subband-2)，两者的时隙格式均为DXU，其中子带-1被配置为第一子带，子带-2被配置为第二子带。
本示例可以适用于非子带全双工(subband full duplex，简称SBFD)场景。
进一步，UE同一时刻在第一子带和第二子带上各自的发送功率之和，不超过这两个子带对应的预设最大发射功率。预设最大发射功率为第一子带和第二子带所属BWP所属载波对应的预设最大发射功率。
响应于在第一子带的发送功率和第二子带的发送功率之和大于对应的预设最大发射功率，可以按照业务优先级限制其中一个子带的发送功率。例如，若通信业务的优先级更高，则可以限制第一子带的发送功率，即优先分配第二子带的发射功率。或者，若感知业务的优先级更高，则可以限制第二子带的发送功率，即优先分配第一子带的发射功率。
在一些实施例中，第一子带和第二子带在至少一个时间单元的传输方向不相同。
具体而言，实际配置时分配给通信的资源的波束方向和配置给感知的资源的波束方向可以不一样，例如，在第一子带发送感知信号的波束方向不同于在第二子带进行通信的波束方向。
此时，可以通过协议规定当出现波束方向不一致的情况时跟从(follow)其中某一子带的波束方向。例如，如果规定通信波束优先，则第一子带跟从第二子带的波束方向发送感知信号。又例如，如果规定感知波束优先，则第二子带沿用第一子带的波束方向进行通信。
在一些实施例中，在SBFD场景中，第一子带和第二子带在至少一个时间单元的传输方向不相同。此时，在各子带上按各自配置的传输方向进行传输。
具体而言，可以独立配置一些子带专用于感知。相应的，配置信息可以包括：第五信息，用于指示一个或多个用于SBFD的子带为第一子带。
例如，在配置用于SBFD的一个或多个子带或，通过第五信息额外指示其中的一个或多个SBFD子带用于感知。
以图10中标号(a)的视图为例，BWP-1在频域上不交叠地划分得到两个下行子带(子带-1和子带-3)以及一个上行子带(子带-2)，第五信息进一步指示其中的子带-3为第一子带。
以图10中标号(b)的视图为例，BWP-2在频域上不交叠地划分得到两个下行子带(子带-1和子带-3)以及一个上行子带(子带-2)，第五信息进一步指示其中的子带-3和子带-2均为为第一子带。
在一个具体实施方式中，第一频域资源的子载波间隔(SubCarrier Spacing，简称SCS)和第二频域资源的SCS可以独立配置。也就是说，第一频域资源的SCS和第二频域资源的SCS可以相同，如图4中的第一载波组2以及图10中标号(b)所示示例。或者，第一频域资源的SCS和第二频域资源的SCS也可以不相同，如图3、图4中的第一载波组1、图5、图7、图9以及图10中标号(a)所示示例。
在一个具体实施方式中，UE在作为感知发起端的同时还可以作为感知接收端，接收经由第一频域资源发送的感知信号(例如感知参考信号)作用至感知目标后产生的回波信号，并基于回波信号处理得到感知结果。基于感知结果可以生成测量报告。进一步，UE可以使用第一频域资源发送测量报告。
在一个具体实施方式中，在步骤S101之前/之后/同时，本实施方案通信方法还可以包括步骤：接收第六信息，用于指示预设周期内的若干个连续的时间单元用于感知。时间单元可以为UE和网络设备在时域上的通信粒度。例如，时间单元可以为时隙、微时隙(Mini-slot，即比时隙更短的时长单位)、子帧、符号、帧等。同一时间单元是指相同的时间单元。例如，网络侧可以在预定义的一段周期时间之内规定若干个连续的时隙用做感知用途。
具体而言，时隙的感知用途可以是网络设备发送感知信号，也可以是UE发送感知信号，或者是既可以是用做网络设备发送感知信号也可以是用做UE发送感知信号。
可选的，若干个连续的时隙可以是预先定义的位置，例如在预设周期的开始若干连续时隙，或者预设周期的末尾若干连续时隙，或者是由网络侧通过高层信令配置的时隙位置，例如通过比特位图来配置用做感知的时隙的具体时隙位置。比特位图中的每个比特对应预设周期内的1个时隙，配置为0表示该时隙不可以用做感知，配置为1表示该时隙可以用做感知。
例如，在2个无线帧(radio frame)的周期时间内，总共有20个时隙，可以规定其中4个时隙可以用做感知用途。其中，这4个时隙的具体位置可以通过预定义的方式确定，例如在20个时隙的前4个时隙，或者在20个时隙的后4个时隙，或者是其他预定义的位置。又或者，4个时隙的具体位置可以由网络侧通过高层信令配置得到。上述时隙结构在时域上周期性出现。
在一些实施例中，响应于接收到配置信息和第六信息，UE和/或网络设备可以在第六信息指示的预设周期内的若干个连续的时间单元上，使用第一频域资源发送感知信号。
在一个变化例中，第六信息可以用于指示预设周期内的若干个上行时间单元或者若干个下行时间单元用于感知。例如，网络侧可以在预定义的一段周期时间之内规定若干个的上行时隙或者下行时隙用做感知用途。
具体而言，上行时隙的感知用途可以是网络设备发送感知信号，也可以是UE发送感知信号；下行时隙的感知用途可以是网络设备发送感知信号，也可以是UE发送感知信号。
可选的，若干个上行时隙可以是若干个连续的上行时隙，也可以是若干个不连续的上行时隙。若干个下行时隙可以是若干个连续的下行时隙，也可以是若干个不连续的下行时隙。
可选的，若干个上行时隙或者若干个下行时隙可以是预先定义的位置，例如在预设周期的开始若干个连续上行时隙或者下行时隙，或者预设周期的末尾若干个连续上行时隙或者下行时隙，或者是由网络侧通过高层信令配置的时隙位置，例如通过比特位图来配置上行时隙或者下行时隙的具体时隙位置，比特位图中的每个比特对应周期内的1个时隙，配置为0表示该时隙不可以用做感知，配置为1表示该时隙可以用做感知。
例如，在2个无线帧(radio frame)的时间内，总共有20个时隙，可以规定其中4个时隙可以用做感知用途。其中，这4个时隙的具体位置可以通过预定义的方式确定，例如,在20个时隙的前4个上行时隙，或者在20个时隙的后4个上行时隙，或者在20个时隙的前4个下行时隙，或者在20个时隙的后4个下行时隙，或者是其他预定义的位置。又或者，4个时隙的具体位置可以由网络侧通过高层信令配置得到。
在一些实施例中，响应于接收到配置信息和第六信息，UE和/或网络设备可以在第六信息指示的预设周期内的若干个上行时间单元或下行时间单元上，使用第一频域资源发送感知信号。
由上，采用本实施方案，能够实现通信和感知的频分复用，使得UE能够并行地进行通信业务和感知业务，提高业务处理效率。具体而言，通过配置信息为UE分配频分复用的第一频域资源和第二频域资源，第一频域资源和第二频域资源可以对应相同的时间单元，从而UE可以在同一时间单元进行通信业务和感知业务。由此，感知业务和通信业务均能够及时得以实现，尤其对时延敏感的业务而言是有利的。

进一步，本具体实施中，UE为感知发起端，网络设备为感知接收端，因此UE执行步骤S102以经由第一频域资源发送感知信号后，网络设备执行步骤S202以接收感知信号作用至感知目标后产生的回波信号。
在UE自发自收的场景中，步骤S202可以被替换为：接收测量报告，测量报告由UE基于接收到的回波信号处理得到。
在一些实施例中，响应于配置信息配置了多个候选BWP，步骤S201之后，步骤S202之前，网络设备还可以执行步骤：发送感知触发信息，用于指示目标BWP作为第一BWP，目标BWP选自多个候选BWP。
由上，采用本实施方案，能够实现通信和感知的频分复用，提高通信效率。
