Description

传输信道状态信息参考信号的方法和设备 技术领域
本发明实施例涉及通信领域，并且更具体地，涉及一种传输信道状态信息参考信号CSI-RS的方法和设备。
背景技术
在无线通信网络中，各个设备需要利用频率资源进行信息传输，频率资源也被称为频谱。无线通信***使用的频谱分为授权频谱(Licensed Spectrum)和非授权频谱(Unlicensed Spectrum)，其中，授权频谱需要获得授权之后才可以使用，非授权频谱不需要授权，任何人都可以合法的使用。授权频谱上的载波称为授权载波，非授权频谱上的载波称为非授权载波。
在长期演进的非授权频谱(Licensed-Assisted Access Using Long Term Evolution，简称为“LAA-LTE”)***中，节点通过说前先听(Listen Before Talk，简称为“LBT”)原则使用非授权载波，LBT是一种载波监听多路访问(Carrier Sense Multiple Access，简称为“CSMA”)技术。
信道状态信息参考信号(Channel State Information-Reference Signal，简称为“CSI-RS”)是用于用户设备UE获取信道状态信息的下行参考信号。在LAA-LTE中，eNB通过LBT原则抢占信道后，向UE发送CSI-RS，CSI-RS在时域上可以周期性传输也可以非周期性传输。其中，在周期性传输CSI-RS时，由于eNB抢占到信道的时刻是随机的，而发送CSI-RS的位置(即时刻)是确定的，因此会出现不能及时向UE发送CSI-RS的问题，从而导致UE不能及时获取信道状态信息；而在非周期性传输CSI-RS时，eNB需要频繁地向UE发送信令来指示每一次CSI-RS的发送位置，信令开销较大。

其中，该用户设备(User Equipment，简称为“UE”)也可称之为终端设备、移动台(Mobile Station，简称为“MS”)、移动终端(Mobile Terminal)等，该终端设备可以经无线接入网(Radio Access Network，RAN)与一个或多个核心网进行通信，例如，该终端设备可以是移动电话(或称为“蜂窝”电话)、具有移动终端的计算机等，例如，该终端设备还可以是便携式、袖珍式、手持式、计算机内置的或者车载的移动装置，可以与无线接入网交换语言和/或数据。该网络侧设备可以是基站，具体地，可以是长期演进(Long Term Evolution，简称为“LTE”)***中的演进型基站(Evolutional Node B，简称为“ENB”或“E-NodeB”)，该网络侧设备还可以是接入点(Access Point，简称为“AP”)设备。
图1示出了根据本发明实施例提供的一种传输信道状态信息参考信号CSI-RS的方法100，该方法100包括：
S110，第一设备获取非授权载波；
S120，该第一设备从预配置的M组CSI-RS中，确定目标CSI-RS，该M组CSI-RS中的每组CSI-RS在时域上周期发送，且不同组CSI-RS的发送周期和/或偏置互不相同，M为大于1的整数；
S130，该第一设备基于该非授权载波，在该目标CSI-RS的起始发送时刻向第二设备发送该目标CSI-RS。
具体地，例如第一设备通过LBT原则抢占信道，获取非授权载波。
应理解，在本发明实施例中，M组CSI-RS中的每组CSI-RS包括一组在时域上周期发送的CSI-RS，具体地如图2中所示的每一组CSI-RS包括在时域上周期发送的CSI-RS序列。M组CSI-RS中的不同组CSI-RS的发送周期和/或偏置互不相同，换句话说，不同组CSI-RS中的各个CSI-RS的起始发送时刻不完全相同，如图2中所示的第1组CSI-RS中的每个CSI-RS的起始发送时刻与第2组CSI-RS中的每个CSI-RS的起始发送时刻完全不同。
还应理解，该目标CSI-RS为M组CSI-RS中的其中一组周期发送的CSI-RS中的一个CSI-RS，且该目标CS-RS的起始发送时刻在第一设备在非授权载波上允许开始发送数据的时刻(记为第一时刻)之后，或者该目标CS-RS的起始发送时刻与该第一时刻为同一时刻，具体地，例如第一设备获 取非授权载波，且在该非授权载波上允许开始发送数据的时刻为图2中所示的时刻tA，可以将图2中所示的第2组CSI-RS中的第3个CSI-RS作为该目标CSI-RS，也可以将第3组CSI-RS中的第3个CSI-RS作为该目标CSI-RS，或者也可以将第1组CSI-RS的第4个CSI-RS作为该目标CSI-RS，本发明实施例对此不作限定。
具体地，假设在S120中将第2组CSI-RS中的第3个CSI-RS作为该目标CSI-RS，则第一设备基于获取的非授权载波，在该目标CSI-RS的起始发送时刻(例如图2中所示的时刻t1)向第二设备发送该目标CSI-RS。
由上可知，在本发明实施例中，预配置了M组CSI-RS，该M组CSI-RS中的每组CSI-RS在时域上周期发送，且不同组CSI-RS的发送周期和/或偏置互不相同，发送端设备获取非授权载波后，从该M组CSI-RS中确定目标CSI-RS，在该目标CSI-RS的起始发送时刻向接收端设备发送该目标CSI-RS。换句话说，在本发明实施例中，可以从多个CSI-RS发送位置中选择一个目标位置向接收端设备发送CSI-RS，相比于现有技术中的周期性传输CSI-RS，能够较为灵活地实现向接收端设备发送CSI-RS。
还应理解，在第一设备向第二设备发送该目标CSI-RS之后，继续基于该目标CSI-RS的发送周期，在相应的位置(时刻)向第二设备发送CSI-RS，其中该目标CSI-RS的发送周期指的是该目标CSI-RS所属的一组CSI-RS的发送周期，具体地，还以将图2中所示的第2组CSI-RS中的第3个CSI-RS作为该目标CSI-RS为例，第一设备在该目标CSI-RS的起始发送时刻t1向第二设备发送该目标CSI-RS之后，继续基于该第2组CSI-RS的后续CSI-RS的起始发送时刻，向第二设备发送CSI-RS。换句话说，在本发明实施例中，从目标CSI-RS的起始发送时刻向接收端设备发送该目标CSI-RS开始，一直到释放信道，第一设备依然是采用周期性传输方式向第二设备传输CSI-RS的，相比于现有技术中的非周期性传输CSI-RS，无需较大的信令开销。
因此，根据本发明实施例提供的传输信道状态信息参考信号的方法，能够较为灵活地向接收端设备发送CSI-RS，且无需较大信令开销。
可选地，在本发明实施例中，S120该第一设备从预配置的M组CSI-RS中，确定目标CSI-RS，包括：
该第一设备将该M组CSI-RS中起始发送时刻距离第一时刻最近的一个CSI-RS确定为该目标CSI-RS，该第一时刻为该第一设备在该非授权载波上 允许开始发送数据的时刻。
具体地，假设该M组CSI-RS为图2中所示的3组CSI-RS，假设第一时刻为图2中的时刻tA，则该目标CSI-RS为第2组CSI-RS中的第3个CSI-RS。
在本发明实施例中，发送端设备占用非授权载波后，从预配置的M组CSI-RS中确定目标CSI-RS，该M组CSI-RS中的每组CSI-RS在时域上周期发送，且不同组CSI-RS的发送周期和/或偏置互不相同，在该M组CSI-RS中，该目标CSI-RS的起始发送时刻与该发送端设备在非授权载波上允许开始发送数据的时刻之间的时间间隔最短，发送端设备在目标CSI-RS的起始发送时刻向接收端设备发送该目标CSI-RS。相比于现有技术，能够有效地缩短在非授权载波上允许开始发送数据的时刻与开始向接收端设备发送CSI-RS的时刻之间的间隔，从而能够实现及时向接收端设备发送CSI-RS。
因此，根据本发明实施例提供的传输信道状态信息参考信号的方法，能够实现及时向接收端设备发送CSI-RS，同时也能够避免较大信令开销。
例如发送端设备为基站，接收端设备为UE，基站根据本发明实施例提供的方法向UE发送CSI-RS，从而使得UE能够及时获取信道状态信息，从而能够及时上报信道状态给基站，使得基站根据信道状态报告作相应的调度决策。
应理解，在本发明实施例中，第一设备使用LBT技术占用非授权载波，该技术为现有技术，为了简洁，这里不再赘述。
还应理解，在本发明实施例中涉及的第一时刻，指的是第一设备基于竞争机制占用非授权载波后允许开始发送数据的时刻。具体地，如果第一设备基于信道空闲评估(Clear Channel Assessment，简称为“CCA”)过程占用非授权载波，则该第一时刻可以为CCA过程的结束时刻；再例如，如果第一设备在基于CCA过程之后，还要执行增强CCA(Extended CCA，简称为“ECCA”)过程，则该第一时刻为ECCA过程的结束时刻，本发明实施例对此不作限定。
应理解，在S120中，第一设备例如还可以根据***预设信息，从预配置的M组CSI-RS中，确定目标CSI-RS，本发明实施例对此不作限定。
还应理解，在本发明实施例中，CSI-RS的发送周期可以根据承载CSI-RS的子帧长度具体设定，例如为5ms至80ms中的任意时长，也可以小于5ms， 本发明实施例对此不作限定。
可选地，在本发明实施例中，M组CSI-RS由***预配置。
具体地，例如由无线资源控制(Radio Resource Control，简称为“RRC”)预配置。
例如由RRC预配制M组CSI-RS，每组CSI-RS在时域上周期发送，且不同组CSI-RS的发送周期和/或偏置互不相同，RRC将该M组CSI-RS的相关信息(包括但不限定偏置和发送周期)通知给接收端设备(例如UE)，接收端通过盲检测，检测到一个有效的CSI-RS后，之后便可以根据已知的发送周期，在相应的位置进行接收。
可选地，在本发明实施例中，M组CSI-RS由该第一设备预配置。
具体地，例如该第一设备为LTE***中的eNodeB(Evolved Node-B)，由eNodeB预配置该M组CSI-RS，并将该M组CSI-RS的相关信息(包括但不限定偏置和发送周期)通知给接收端设备(例如UE)。
还应理解，M组CSI-RS对于发送端的第一设备和接收端的第二设备都是公知的。
可选地，在本发明实施例，该M组CSI-RS中的不同组CSI-RS的发送周期相同、偏置不同。
应理解，一组CSI-RS的发送周期指的是该组CSI-RS中相邻CSI-RS的发送时刻之间的时间间隔(如图2中所示的第一组CSI-RS的发送周期T＝20ms)。一组CSI-RS的偏置指的是该组CSI-RS的信号起始发送时刻(例如图2中第二组CSI-RS的信号起始发送时刻ts)与参考时刻(如图2中标注的参考时刻tr)之间的时间间隔。
具体地，图2示出了预配置的3组CSI-RS，其中，每组CSI-RS的发送周期均为20ms，第1组CSI-RS的偏置为0ms，第2组CSI-RS的偏置为5ms，第3组CSI-RS的偏置为10ms。
例如，假设第一设备占用非授权载波后允许开始发送数据的时刻(即第一时刻)为图2所示的参考时刻tr，从图2所示的3组CSI-RS中确定目标CSI-RS，如图2所示，第1组CSI-R的首个CSI-RS的起始发送时刻就是该参考时刻tr，即该首个CSI-RS距离第一时刻的距离最短，则将该第1组CSI-RS中的首个CSI-RS确定为目标CSI-RS，则在该起始发送时刻tr向第二设备发送该目标CSI-RS。
再例如，假设第一设备占用非授权载波后允许开始发送数据的时刻(即第一时刻)为图2所示的时刻tA，从图2所示的3组CSI-RS中确定目标CSI-RS，如图2所示，第2组CSI-RS中的第3个CSI-RS的起始发送时刻t1距离本次第一时刻tA的间隔最短，将该第2组CSI-RS中的第3个CSI-RS确定为目标CSI-RS，则在该起始发送时刻t1向第二设备发送该目标CSI-RS。
在现有技术中采用一种配置周期性传输CSI-RS，例如只基于图2中所示的第1组CSI-RS向接收端发送CSI-RS。假设第一设备占用非授权载波后允许开始发送数据的时刻(即第一时刻)为图2所示的时刻tA，如图2所示，则第一设备需要等到第1组CSI-RS的第4个CSI-RS的起始发送时刻t2才可以向第二设备发送CSI-RS，即无法实现及时向接收端设备发送CSI-RS。
由上可知，在本发明实施例中，通过预配置多组CSI-RS，且不同组CSI-RS中的CSI-RS的发送位置不完全相同，在占用非授权载波后，从多组CSI-RS中选取起始发送时刻距离在非授权载波上允许开始发送数据的时刻距离最近的目标CSI-RS，然后向接收端设备发送该目标CSI-RS，能够实现及时向接收端设备发送CSI-RS，换句话说，能够增加CSI-RS的发送机会，从而提高CSI-RS的传输效率。
应理解，在第一设备在目标CSI-RS的起始发送时刻向第二设备发送该目标CSI-RS之后，按照该目标CSI-RS对应的发送周期在相应的发送时刻向第二设备周期发送CSI-RS。具体地，在图2所示的例子中，在第一设备在时刻t1向第二设备发送第2组CSI-RS中的第3个CSI-RS(即目标CSI-RS)之后，继续向第二设备发送第2组CSI-RS中的后续CSI-RS。
还应理解，图2仅作为示例而非限定，例如，在实际应用中，M组CSI-RS不只可以为3组CSI-RS，也可以为5组，10组或更多组。再例如，每组CRS-RS的偏置和发送周期也不局限于图2所示的情形，例如CSI-RS的发送周期可以为5ms至80ms中的任意时长，CSI-RS的偏置例如为3ms，7ms等其它时长，本发明实施例对此不作限定。
可选地，在本发明实施例，该M组CSI-RS中的不同组CSI-RS的发送周期不同、偏置相同。
具体地，图3示出了预配置3组CSI-RS，每组CSI-RS的偏置均为0ms，第1组CSI-RS的发送周期为11ms，第2组CSI-RS的发送周期为8ms，第3组CSI-RS的发送周期为5ms。
例如，假设第一设备占用非授权载波后允许开始发送数据的时刻(即第一时刻)为图3所示的参考时刻tr，从图3所示的3组CSI-RS中确定目标CSI-RS，如图3所示，3组CSI-RS的首个CSI-RS的起始发送时刻就是该参考时刻tr，可以从这3组CSI-RS中选择任意一组CSI-RS的首个CSI-RS作为目标CSI-RS，进行发送。例如选择第1组CSI-RS的首个CSI-RS作为目标CSI-RS，则在该起始发送时刻tr向第二设备发送该目标CSI-RS。
再例如，假设第一设备占用非授权载波后允许开始发送数据的时刻(即第一时刻)为图3所示的时刻tB，从图3所示的3组CSI-RS中确定目标CSI-RS，如图3所示，第3组CSI-RS中的第2个CSI-RS的起始发送时刻t1距离本次第一时刻tB的间隔最短，将该第3组CSI-RS中的第2个CSI-RS确定为目标CSI-RS，则在该起始发送时刻t3向第二设备发送该目标CSI-RS。
由上可知，在本发明实施例中，通过预配置多组CSI-RS，且不同组CSI-RS中的CSI-RS的发送位置不完全相同，在占用非授权载波后，从多组CSI-RS中选取起始发送时刻距离在非授权载波上允许开始发送数据的时刻距离最近的目标CSI-RS，然后向接收端设备发送该目标CSI-RS，能够实现及时向接收端设备发送CSI-RS，换句话说，能够增加CSI-RS的发送机会，从而提高CSI-RS的传输效率。
应理解，在本发明实施例中，在第一设备在目标CSI-RS的起始发送时刻向第二设备发送该目标CSI-RS之后，是按照该目标CSI-RS的发送周期继续向第二设备周期发送CSI-RS的。具体地，在图3所示的例子中，在第一设备在时刻t3向第二设备发送第3组CSI-RS中的第2个CSI-RS(即目标CSI-RS)之后，继续向第二设备发送第3组CSI-RS中的后续CSI-RS。
还应理解，图3仅作为示例而非限定，例如，在实际应用中，M组CSI-RS不只可以为3组CSI-RS，也可以为5组，10组或更多组。再例如，每组CRS-RS的偏置和发送周期也不局限于图3所示的情形，例如CSI-RS的发送周期可以为5ms至80ms中的任意时长，CSI-RS的偏置例如为3ms，7ms等其它时长，本发明实施例对此不作限定。
可选地，在本发明实施例中，该M组CSI-RS中的不同组CSI-RS的发送周期不同、偏置不同。
具体地，例如在图2中，3组CSI-RS的发送周期也互不相同，例如第1组CSI-RS的发送周期为20ms，第2组CSI-RS的发送周期为15ms，第3组 CSI-RS的发送周期为25ms。
再例如，在图3中，3组CSI-RS的偏置也互不相同，例如第1组CSI-RS的偏置为1ms，第2组CSI-RS的偏置为3ms，第3组CSI-RS的偏置为10ms。
应理解，上述例子仅为示例而非限定，实际应用中，M组CSI-RS中每组CSI-RS的发送周期与偏置可以为其他时长。
可选地，在本发明实施例，该方法100还包括：
S140，该第一设备向该第二设备发送用于指示该目标CSI-RS的起始发送时刻的指示消息。
具体地，该指示消息还可以包括用于指示该目标CSI-RS的偏置和/或发送周期的信息。应理解，这里提及的该目标CSI-RS的偏置指的是该目标CSI-RS所属的一组CSI-RS的偏置，该目标CSI-RS的发送周期指的是该目标CSI-RS所属的一组CSI-RS的发送周期。
例如，该目标CSI-RS为M组CSI-RS中的第k组CSI-RS中的一个CSI-RS，则该第一设备向该第二设备发送用于指示该目标CSI-RS的起始发送时刻、该第k组CSI-RS的偏置和发送周期的指示消息。
还应理解，如果该目标CSI-RS相对于第一设备上次占用非授权载波后发送的CSI-RS，发送周期没有变化，只是偏置发生改变(例如图2中所示)，则第一设备只需告知第二设备该目标CSI-RS的起始发送时刻和该目标CSI-RS所在组CSI-RS的偏置。如果该目标CSI-RS相对于第一设备上次占用非授权载波后发送的CSI-RS，偏置没有变化，只是发送周期发生改变(例如图3中所示)，则第一设备只需告知第二设备该目标CSI-RS的起始发送时刻和发送周期。
应理解，在本发明实施例中，并不限定S130与S140的先后顺序。
应理解，在本发明实施例中，第一设备还可以采用隐式的方式向第二设备通知该目标CSI-RS的起始发送时刻、偏置和/或发送周期，本发明实施例对此不作限定。
应理解，为了节省信令开销，也可以由RRC来预配置，例如由RRC预配制M组CSI-RS，每组CSI-RS在时域上周期发送，且不同组CSI-RS的发送周期和/或偏置互不相同，RRC将该M组CSI-RS的相关信息(包括但不限于偏置和发送周期)通知给接收端设备(例如UE)，接收端通过盲检测，检测到一个有效的CSI-RS后，之后便可以根据已知的发送周期，在相应的 位置进行接收。
因此，在本发明实施例中，通过预配置多组CSI-RS，且不同组CSI-RS的偏置和/或发送周期互不相同，占用非授权载波后，从多组CSI-RS中选取起始发送时刻距离在该非授权载波上允许开始发送数据的时刻距离最近的目标CSI-RS，然后向接收端设备发送该目标CSI-RS，能够及时向接收端设备发送CSI-RS，换句话说，能够增加CSI-RS的发送机会，从而提高CSI-RS的传输效率。此外，可以由RRC来预配置该M组CSI-RS，接收端通过盲检测，检测到一个有效的CSI-RS后，之后便可以根据已知的发送周期，在相应的位置进行接收，即在本发明实施例中，发送端设备可以无需向接收端设备发送用于指示该目标CSI-RS的相关信息的信令，能够节省信令开销。
可选地，本发明实施例还提出一种确定状态信息参考信号CSI-RS的方法，该方法包括：
预配置M组CSI-RS，该M组CSI-RS中的每组CSI-RS在时域上周期发送，且不同组CSI-RS的发送周期和/或偏置互不相同，M为大于1的整数。
具体地，M组CSI-RS中的每组CSI-RS包括一组在时域上周期发送的CSI-RS，具体地如图2中所示的每一组CSI-RS包括在时域上周期发送的CSI-RS序列。M组CSI-RS中的不同组CSI-RS的发送周期和/或偏置互不相同，换句话说，不同组CSI-RS中的各个CSI-RS的起始发送时刻不完全相同，如图2中所示的第1组CSI-RS中的每个CSI-RS的起始发送时刻与第2组CSI-RS中的每个CSI-RS的起始发送时刻完全不同。
应理解，本发明实施例的执行主体可以为发送端设备例如eNB，也可以为RRC，本发明实施例对此不作限定。
还应理解，在预配置了该M组CSI-RS之后，会向发送端设备和接收端设备通知该M组CSI-RS。
可选地，在本发明实施例中，该M组CSI-RS中的不同组CSI-RS的发送周期相同、偏置不同。
具体如图2所示，这里不再赘述。
可选地，在本发明实施例中，该M组CSI-RS中的不同组CSI-RS的发送周期不同、偏置相同。
具体如图3所示，这里不再赘述。
可选地，在本发明实施例中，该M组CSI-RS中的不同组CSI-RS的发 送周期不同、偏置不同。
具体地，例如在图2中，3组CSI-RS的发送周期也互不相同，例如第1组CSI-RS的发送周期为20ms，第2组CSI-RS的发送周期为15ms，第3组CSI-RS的发送周期为25ms。
再例如，在图3中，3组CSI-RS的偏置也互不相同，例如第1组CSI-RS的偏置为1ms，第2组CSI-RS的偏置为3ms，第3组CSI-RS的偏置为10ms。
应理解，上述例子仅为示例而非限定，实际应用中，M组CSI-RS中每组CSI-RS的发送周期与偏置可以为其他时长。
上文结合图1至图3从发送端设备(第一设备)的角度描述了根据本发明实施例提供的传输信道状态信息参考信号的方法，下面从接收端设备(第二设备)的角度描述根据本发明实施例提供的传输信道状态信息参考信号的方法。
图4示出了根据本发明实施例提供的传输信道状态信息参考信号的方法200的示意性流程图。
S210，第二设备确定用于接收第一设备发送的目标CSI-RS的接收位置，该目标CSI-RS为预配置的M组CSI-RS中的一个CSI-RS，该M组CSI-RS中每组CSI-RS在时域上周期发送，且不同组CSI-RS的发送周期和/或偏置互不相同，M为大于1的整数；
S220，该第二设备基于该第一设备获取的非授权载波，在该接收位置接收该目标CSI-RS。
应理解，在本发明实施例中，M组CSI-RS中的每组CSI-RS包括一组在时域上周期发送的CSI-RS，具体地如图2中所示的每一组CSI-RS包括在时域上周期发送的CSI-RS序列。M组CSI-RS中的不同组CSI-RS的发送周期和/或偏置互不相同，换句话说，不同组CSI-RS中的各个CSI-RS的起始发送时刻不完全相同，如图2中所示的第1组CSI-RS中的每个CSI-RS的起始发送时刻与第2组CSI-RS中的每个CSI-RS的起始发送时刻完全不同。
还应理解，该目标CSI-RS为M组CSI-RS中的其中一组周期发送的CSI-RS中的一个CSI-RS，且该目标CS-RS的起始发送时刻在第一设备在非授权载波上允许开始发送数据的时刻(记为第一时刻)之后，或者该目标CS-RS的起始发送时刻与该第一时刻为同一时刻，具体地，例如第一设备获取非授权载波，且在该非授权载波上允许开始发送数据的时刻为图2中所示 的时刻tA，可以将图2中所示的第2组CSI-RS中的第3个CSI-RS作为该目标CSI-RS，也可以将第3组CSI-RS中的第3个CSI-RS作为该目标CSI-RS，或者也可以将第1组CSI-RS的第4个CSI-RS作为该目标CSI-RS，本发明实施例对此不作限定。
具体地，假设在S120中将第2组CSI-RS中的第3个CSI-RS作为该目标CSI-RS，则第一设备基于获取的非授权载波，在该目标CSI-RS的起始发送时刻(例如图2中所示的时刻t1)向第二设备发送该目标CSI-RS。
由上可知，在本发明实施例中，预配置了M组CSI-RS，该M组CSI-RS中的每组CSI-RS在时域上周期发送，且不同组CSI-RS的发送周期和/或偏置互不相同，发送端设备获取非授权载波后，从该M组CSI-RS中确定目标CSI-RS，在该目标CSI-RS的起始发送时刻向接收端设备发送该目标CSI-RS。换句话说，在本发明实施例中，可以从多个CSI-RS发送位置中选择一个目标位置向接收端设备发送CSI-RS，相比于现有技术中的周期性传输CSI-RS，能够较为灵活地实现向接收端设备发送CSI-RS。
还应理解，在第一设备向第二设备发送该目标CSI-RS之后，继续基于该目标CSI-RS的发送周期，在相应的位置(时刻)向第二设备发送CSI-RS，其中该目标CSI-RS的发送周期指的是该目标CSI-RS所属的一组CSI-RS的发送周期，具体地，还以将图2中所示的第2组CSI-RS中的第3个CSI-RS作为该目标CSI-RS为例，第一设备在该目标CSI-RS的起始发送时刻t1向第二设备发送该目标CSI-RS之后，继续基于该第2组CSI-RS的后续CSI-RS的起始发送时刻，向第二设备发送CSI-RS。换句话说，在本发明实施例中，从目标CSI-RS的起始发送时刻向接收端设备发送该目标CSI-RS开始，一直到释放信道，第一设备依然是采用周期性传输方式向第二设备传输CSI-RS的，相比于现有技术中的非周期性传输CSI-RS，无需较大的信令开销。
因此，根据本发明实施例提供的传输信道状态信息参考信号的方法，能够较为灵活地向接收端设备发送CSI-RS，且无需较大信令开销。
可选地，在本发明实施例中，该目标CSI-RS为该M组CSI-RS中起始发送时刻距离第一时刻最近的一个CSI-RS，该第一时刻为该第一设备在该非授权载波上允许开始发送数据的时刻。
因此，在本发明实施例中，发送端设备占用非授权载波后，从预配置的M组CSI-RS中确定目标CSI-RS，该目标CSI-RS的起始发送时刻与在该非 授权载波上允许开始发送数据的时刻之间的时间间隔最短，发送端设备在该目标CSI-RS的起始发送时刻向接收端设备发送该目标CSI-RS。相比于现有技术，能够有效地缩短在非授权载波上允许开始发送数据的时刻与向接收端设备发送CSI-RS的起始发送时刻之间的间隔，从而能够实现及时向接收端设备发送CSI-RS。例如发送端设备为基站，接收端设备为UE，基站根据本发明实施例提供的方法向UE发送CSI-RS，从而使得UE能够及时获取信道状态信息，从而能够及时上报信道状态给基站，使得基站根据信道状态报告作相应的调度决策。
应理解，第二设备确定了一个CSI-RS的接收位置，然后根据获知的发送周期，就可以在相应的位置上接收CSI-RS了。具体地，第二设备可以通过盲检测或者接收发送端的第一设备发送的指示消息，获知该CSI-RS的接收位置。
可选地，在本发明实施例中，S210该第二设备确定用于接收第一设备发送的目标CSI-RS的接收位置，包括：
该第二设备通过盲检测，或者通过接收该第一设备发送的用于指示该接收位置的指示消息，确定该接收位置。
具体地，该第二设备接收该第一设备发送的用于指示该目标CSI-RS的起始发送时刻、偏置和/或发送周期的指示消息，该第二设备根据该指示消息，确定接收该目标CSI-RS的接收位置。
也可以由RRC来预配置，例如由RRC预配制M组CSI-RS，每组CSI-RS在时域上周期发送，且不同组CSI-RS的发送周期和/或偏置互不相同，RRC将该M组CSI-RS的相关信息(包括但不限定偏置和发送周期)通知给接收端设备(例如UE)，接收端通过盲检测，检测到一个有效的CSI-RS后，之后便可以根据已知的发送周期，在相应的位置进行接收。
可选地，在本发明实施例，该M组CSI-RS中的不同组CSI-RS的发送周期相同、偏置不同。
具体地，如图2所示，预配置3组CSI-RS，每组CSI-RS的发送周期均为20ms，第1组CSI-RS的偏置为0ms，第2组CSI-RS的偏置为5ms，第3组CSI-RS的偏置为10ms。
可选地，在本发明实施例，该M组CSI-RS中的不同组CSI-RS的发送周期不同、偏置相同。
具体地，如图3所示，预配置3组CSI-RS，每组CSI-RS的偏置均为0，第1组CSI-RS的发送周期为11ms，第2组CSI-RS的发送周期为8ms，第3组CSI-RS的发送周期为5ms。
可选地，在本发明实施例中，该M组CSI-RS中的不同组CSI-RS的发送周期不同、偏置不同。
具体地，例如图2中的3组CSI-RS的发送周期互不相同，再例如图3所示的3组CSI-RS的偏置互不相同。
对M组CSI-RS的具体描述详见上文描述，为了简洁，这里不再赘述。
因此，在本发明实施例中，通过预配置多组CSI-RS，且不同组CSI-RS的偏置和/或发送周期互不相同，占用非授权载波后，从多组CSI-RS中选取起始发送时刻距离在该非授权载波上允许开始发送数据的时刻距离最近的目标CSI-RS，然后向接收端设备发送该目标CSI-RS，能够及时向接收端设备发送CSI-RS，换句话说，能够增加CSI-RS的发送机会，从而提高CSI-RS的传输效率。此外，发送端设备可以无需向接收端设备发送用于指示该目标CSI-RS的相关信息的信令，可以由RRC来预配置该M组CSI-RS，接收端通过盲检测，检测到一个有效的CSI-RS后，之后便可以根据已知的发送周期，在相应的位置进行接收，能够节省信令开销。
还应理解，在本发明的各种实施例中，上述各过程的序号的大小并不意味着执行顺序的先后，各过程的执行顺序应以其功能和内在逻辑确定，而不应对本发明实施例的实施过程构成任何限定。

还应理解，在第一设备向第二设备发送该目标CSI-RS之后，继续基于该目标CSI-RS的发送周期，在相应的位置(时刻)向第二设备发送CSI-RS，其中该目标CSI-RS的发送周期指的是该目标CSI-RS所属的一组CSI-RS的发送周期，具体地，还以将图2中所示的第2组CSI-RS中的第3个CSI-RS作为该目标CSI-RS为例，第一设备在该目标CSI-RS的起始发送时刻t1向第二设备发送该目标CSI-RS之后，继续基于该第2组CSI-RS的后续CSI-RS的起始发送时刻，向第二设备发送CSI-RS。换句话说，在本发明实施例中，从目标CSI-RS的起始发送时刻向接收端设备发送该目标CSI-RS开始，一直到释放信道，第一设备依然是采用周期性传输方式向第二设备传输CSI-RS的，相比于现有技术中的非周期性传输CSI-RS，无需较大的信令开销。
因此，根据本发明实施例提供的传输信道状态信息参考信号的设备，能够较为灵活地向接收端设备发送CSI-RS，且无需较大信令开销。
可选地，在本发明实施例中，该处理器510具体用于，将该M组CSI-RS中起始发送时刻距离第一时刻最近的一个CSI-RS确定为该目标CSI-RS，该第一时刻为该第一设备在该非授权载波上允许开始发送数据的时刻。
在本发明实施例中，占用非授权载波后，从预配置的M组CSI-RS中确定目标CSI-RS，该M组CSI-RS中的每组CSI-RS在时域上周期发送，且不同组CSI-RS的发送周期和/或偏置互不相同，在该M组CSI-RS中，该目标CSI-RS的起始发送时刻与在非授权载波上允许开始发送数据的时刻之间的时间间隔最短，在目标CSI-RS的起始发送时刻向接收端设备发送该目标CSI-RS。相比于现有技术，能够有效地缩短在非授权载波上允许开始发送数据的时刻与开始向接收端设备发送CSI-RS的时刻之间的间隔，从而能够实现及时向接收端设备发送CSI-RS。
应理解，在本发明实施例中，当占用到非授权载波之后，在该非授权载波上还是采用周期性传输方式传输CSI-RS的，因此无需现有的非周期性传输方案中所需的较大信令开销。
可选地，在本发明实施例中，该M组CSI-RS中的不同组CSI-RS的发送周期相同、偏置不同。
可选地，在本发明实施例中，该M组CSI-RS中的不同组CSI-RS的发送周期不同、偏置相同。

该存储器520可以包括只读存储器和随机存取存储器，并向处理器510提供指令和数据。存储器520的一部分还可以包括非易失性随机存取存储器。例如，存储器520还可以存储设备类型的信息。
该总线***530除包括数据总线之外，还可以包括电源总线、控制总线和状态信号总线等。但是为了清楚说明起见，在图中将各种总线都标为总线***530。
在实现过程中，上述方法的各步骤可以通过处理器510中的硬件的集成逻辑电路或者软件形式的指令完成。结合本发明实施例所公开的方法的步骤可以直接体现为硬件处理器执行完成，或者用处理器中的硬件及软件模块组合执行完成。软件模块可以位于随机存储器，闪存、只读存储器，可编程只读存储器或者电可擦写可编程存储器、寄存器等本领域成熟的存储介质中。该存储介质位于存储器520，处理器510读取存储器520中的信息，结合其硬件完成上述方法的步骤。为避免重复，这里不再详细描述。
因此，在本发明实施例中，通过预配置多组CSI-RS，且不同组CSI-RS的偏置和/或发送周期互不相同，占用非授权载波后，从多组CSI-RS中选取起始发送时刻距离在该非授权载波上允许开始发送数据的时刻距离最近的目标CSI-RS，然后向接收端设备发送该目标CSI-RS，能够及时向接收端设备发送CSI-RS，换句话说，能够增加CSI-RS的发送机会，从而提高CSI-RS的传输效率。此外，可以由RRC来预配置该M组CSI-RS，接收端通过盲检测，检测到一个有效的CSI-RS后，之后便可以根据已知的发送周期，在相应的位置进行接收，即在本发明实施例中，发送端设备可以无需向接收端设备发送用于指示该目标CSI-RS的相关信息的信令，能够节省信令开销。
