具体实施方式
下面将结合本申请实施例中的附图,对本申请实施例中的技术方案进行清楚、完整地描述。
本申请实施例描述的网络架构以及业务场景是为了更加清楚的说明本申请实施例的技术方案,并不构成对本申请实施例提供的技术方案的限定,本领域普通技术人员可知,随着网络架构的演变和新业务场景的出现,本申请实施例提供的技术方案对于类似的技术问题,同样适用。
本申请可以应用于现有的蜂窝通信***,如全球移动通讯(英文:Global System for Mobile Communication,简称:GSM),宽带码分多址(英文:Wideband Code Division Multiple Access,简称:WCDMA),长期演进(英文:Long Term Evolution,简称:LTE)等***中,适用于第五代移动通信***(英文:5rd-Generation,简称:5G)***,如采用新无线(英文:New Radio,简称:NR)的接入网,云无线接入网(英文:Cloud Radio Access Network,简称:CRAN)等通信***,也可以扩展到类似的无线通信***中,如无线保真(英文:WIreless-Fidelity,简称:wifi)、全球微波互联接入(英文:Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access,简称:WiMAX),以及第三代合作伙伴计划(英文:3rd Generation Partnership Project,简称:3GPP)其它相关的蜂窝***, 同时也适用于其他采用正交频分复用(英文:Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing,简称:OFDM)接入技术的无线通信***,以及还适用于未来的无线通信***。
在本申请中,波束的标识可以采用以下几种方式来表述:
1、逻辑编号。一个逻辑编号可能对应着动态变化的发送和接收波束对。它可以是一种缩减的CSI-RS资源编号/天线端口编号的映射。也就是说,基站可能总共使用了很多个CSI-RS资源/天线端口,但是对于某一个UE来说,它测量和使用的CSI-RS资源/天线端口只是一个子集,所以可以采用比直接指示CSI-RS资源/天线端口较为缩减的方式来指示对于该UE之前使用过的CSI-RS,进而指示UE的接收波束。
2、BPL编号。指一个用来表示发送和接收波束对的指示。
3、CSI-RS资源编号/天线端口编号。指通过指示之前使用/测量过的CSI-RS资源编号/天线端口编号来告知UE应该使用什么接收波束进行接收。
4、SS block time index。SS指同步信号(synchronization signal)。即UE接收到SS block的时间编号。可以用来告知UE使用什么接收波束进行接收。
本申请描述的网络架构以及业务场景是为了更加清楚的说明本申请的技术方案,并不构成对于本申请提供的技术方案的限定,本领域普通技术人员可知,随着网络架构的演变和新业务场景的出现,本申请提供的技术方案对于类似的技术问题,同样适用。

本申请中,名词“网络”和“***”经常交替使用,但本领域的技术人员可以理解其含义。
为便于理解下面对本申请中涉及到的一些名词做些说明。
1)、终端(Terminal),又称之为用户设备(英文:User Equipment,简称:UE),或称为终端设备(Terminal Equipment),或称为是一种向用户提供语音和/或数据连通性的设备,例如,具有无线连接功能或无线通信功能的手持式设备、车载设备、可穿戴设备、计算设备、控制设备或连接到无线调制解调器的其它处理设备,以及各种形式的移动台(英文:Mobile station,简称:MS)等。常见的终端包括:手机(phone)、平板电脑(pad)、笔记本电脑(notebook)、掌上电脑、移动互联网设备(英文:mobile internet device,简称:MID)、可穿戴设备如智能手表、智能手环、计步器等。为方便描述,本申请中,上面提到的设备统称为终端。

本申请中术语“和/或”,仅仅是一种描述关联对象的关联关系,表示可以存在三种关系,例如,A和/或B,可以表示:单独存在A,同时存在A和B,单独存在B这三种情况。另外,本文中字符“/”,一般表示前后关联对象是一种“或”的关系。
下面对本申请实施例中所涉及到的一些通用概念或者定义做出解释,需要说明的是,本文中的一些英文简称为以LTE***为例对本申请实施例进行的描述,其可能随着网络的演进发生变化,具体演进可以参考相应标准中的描述。
在本申请中,MR是指measurement report,即测量报告,HO是指handover,即切换。UL beam是指上行波束,DL beam是指下行波束,RRM是指无线资源测量(radio resource measurement)。
本申请中,波束(beam)可以理解为空间资源,可以指具有能量传输指向性的发送或接收预编码向量。并且,该发送或接收预编码向量能够通过索引信息进行标识。其中,所述能量传输指向性可以指通过该预编码向量对所需发送的信号进行预编码处理,经过该预编码处理的信号具有一定的空间指向性,接收经过该预编码向量进行预编码处理后的信号具有较好的接收功率,如满足接收解调信噪比等;所述能量传输指向性也可以指通过该预编码向量接收来自不同空间位置发送的相同信号具有不同的接收功率。可选地,同一通信设备(比如终端或基站)可以有不同的预编码向量,不同的通信设备也可以有不同的预编码向量,即对应不同的波束。波束可以有多种称谓,例如波束可以称为空间资源,空间权值,空间方向,空间方位等,随着技术的发展,波束可能在不同时期,不同场景中有不同称为,本申请对此不作限制。
针对通信设备的配置或者能力,一个通信设备在同一时刻可以使用多个不同的预编码向量中的一个或者多个,即同时可以形成一个波束或者多个波束。波束信息可以通过索引信息进行标识,可选地,所述索引信息可以对应配置终端的资源标识(英文:identity,简称:ID),比如,所述索引信息可以对应配置的信道状态信息参考信号(英文:Channel status information Reference Signal,简称:CSI-RS)的ID或者index或资源,也可以是对应配置的上行探测参考信号(英文:Sounding Reference Signal,简称:SRS)的ID或者资源。或者,可选地,所述索引信息也可以是通过波束承载的信号或信道显示或隐式承载的索引信息,比如,所述索引信息包括但是不限于通过波束发送的同步信号或者广播信道指示该波束的索引信息。高频小区,例如可以理解为工作频 段是大于或等于6GHz以上的频段的小区。数据通过高频进行传输的时候,一般传输的路损较大,为了保证业务的有效传输,高频小区会引入波束赋形(beamforming)技术,该技术通过把信号的能量集中于某一个需要的方向或beam,形成对准终端的波束,将发射能量对准终端,从而提高终端的解调信噪比,改善小区边缘用户体验。高频数据传输可采用波束对(beam pair),发送方对准一个方向或beam进行数据发送,接收方也需要对准相应的方向或beam接收数据。终端和基站可能在同一时间单元中,可以通过使用至少一个beam pair中的Tx beam进行数据传输。其中,beam pair,包含一个发送波束(Tx beam)和一个接收波束(Rx beam),例如可以是基站(例如gNB)为Tx beam,终端(例如UE)为Rx beam,或者是,终端(例如UE)为Tx beam,基站(例如gNB)为Rx beam。
由于终端的移动等原因,导致终端需要从服务小区切换至邻基站的小区,此时,在做小区切换的同时,也需要保证基站与小区之间的正常通信,本申请给出一种实现终端与基站进行小区切换时的通信方法,下面将结合附图,对本申请实施例所提供的方案进行更为详细的描述。
参考图2,为本申请提供的通信方法流程图,包括以下步骤:

步骤203、所述终端通过所述目标波束参数关联的接收波束接收针对所述信息的响应。
上述步骤201中,当终端需要从第一基站(可理解为终端的服务基站)的服务小区切换至第二基站(第二基站为第一基站的邻基站)的第一小区时,终端从第一基站接收第一小区的小区标识、第一小区的至少一个波束参数、以及与所述至少一个波束参数关联的资源。可选地,所述波束参数可以是CSI-RS的标识,也可以是SS block的标识,其中,CSI-RS的标识也可以理解为CSI-RS配置的标识或索引,即,在同一套CSI-RS配置的资源上发送的CSI-RS具有相同的CSI-RS的标识,该标识为CSI-RS配置的标识,例如,发送周期为2ms,则每隔2ms发送的CSI-RS具有相同的CSI-RS的标识或索引,该标识或索引即为发送的CSI-RS所属的CSI-RS配置的标识或索引。在本申请中,标识也可以理解为索引,或编号。
其中,资源可以是随机接入资源,也可以是上行资源。
上述步骤202中,终端在目标波束参数对应的资源上发送信息。
其中,所述目标波束参数属于所述第一小区的至少一个波束参数。
可选地,当与所述至少一个波束参数关联的资源为随机接入资源时,终端在目标波束参数对应的资源上发送信息为前导序列,可选地,所述随机接入资源包括时频资源和前导序列的索引号。
可选地,当与所述至少一个波束参数关联的资源为上行资源时,终端在目标波束参数对应的资源上发送信息为上行数据,可选地,所述上行数据包括RRC连接重配置完成消息。
上述步骤203中,终端通过目标波束参数关联的接收波束接收针对所述信息的响 应。
可选地,当资源是随机接入资源,且信息为前导序列时,所述响应包括上行时间提前量,此时,可参考图4(b)的切换流程。
当资源是上行资源,且信息为上行数据时,所述响应为HARQ反馈,此时,可参考图4(c)的切换流程。
本申请,在通过上述步骤201~步骤203的小区切换操作之前,终端还需要对小区进行测量,包括对服务基站(即第一基站)和服务基站的邻基站(例如,第二基站)进行测量,通过终端的测量,可使第一基站选择待切换的小区以及使得待切换的小区所属的基站(本申请为第二基站)选择与终端进行通信的波束参数及与选择的波束参数关联的资源。

下面针对上述测量过程做详细描述。
NR支持两种测量参考信号:NR-SS(即同步信号)和CSI-RS,NR-SS参考信号是小区级的,与UE无关,或者说对所有的UE是相同的,UE测量得出的测量结果相对较粗。CSI-RS是UE级的,针对某个UE来发送的,基站需要通过RRC专用信令给UE配置CSI-RS的资源配置,UE基于配置的CSI-RS资源来进行测量,UE测量CSI-RS得出的测量结果相对更精确,当然,CSI-RS也可以是小区级的,对所有的UE相同。
对于连接态的UE,gNB(本申请以第一基站为例)从邻基站(本申请以第二基站为例)请求获得终端对应于邻基站下的第一小区中的一个或多个SS block(或者称为beam)对应的CSI-RS配置,gNB将获取的各个SS block对应的CSI-RS配置发送给终端,使得终端进行邻区CSI-RS测量。
可选地,第一基站向第二基站发送的请求消息中携带第二基站中的邻区的小区标识,可选地,请求消息中携带邻区下的一个或多个SS block的标识(比如,SS block time index indication),请求获取这些SS block对应的CSI-RS配置,或者这些信息是用于参考的,比如,第一基站也会携带终端的移动方向,速度等信息,第二基站综合考虑这些信息来决定测量的SS block对应的CSI-RS配置。
可选地,请求消息中也可以包括终端支持的测量带宽能力信息,使得第二基站发送的邻区的CSI-RS配置不超出终端的测量带宽能力范围。
可选地,CSI-RS配置对应一个CSI-RS配置标识或SS block的标识。CSI-RS配置可以是基于对应SS block资源位置的偏移,也可以是基于帧号、子帧号、符号等的配置。
终端测量各个CSI-RS配置对应的参考信号后,将得到的多个测量值合并生成一个小区的测量值,上报的测量报告里除了携带CSI-RS的小区测量值外,还携带CSI-RS配置对应的测量信息(比如检测到的CSI-RS配置标识,及该标识对应的CSI-RS资源的测量值,或CSI-RS资源标识的排序)。
考虑到CSI-RS可能是与UE ID相关的,因此第二基站还可能需要给当前UE分配一个UE ID发送给第一基站,从而使得终端能推导出CSI-RS的资源位置。
针对第一基站如何确定哪些SS block需要请求CSI-RS资源配置,下面进行说明。
一种可能的方法是,通过两级邻区测量,终端先测量邻区的同步信号,将检测到的满足一定条件的同步信号的测量值及同步信号关联的SS block发送给第一基站,第 一基站得到终端测量到的信号相对较好的SS block信息,第一基站向第二基站请求第二基站的小区下的UE上报的SS block对应的CSI-RS配置,同时,第二基站的小区在这些CSI-RS配置对应的资源上发送CSI-RS,因而,可能并不需要在所有的SS block上为该终端发送CSI-RS,可节省资源。具体地,可参考图3,为本申请提供的测量方法示意图,第一基站向终端发送第二配置,其中包含需要测量的SS-block,终端向第一基站发送第二测量结果,第一基站基于第二测量结果,选择测量结果较好的SS-block及测量结果较好的SS-block对应的小区,例如为第二基站下的小区,第一基站向第二基站发送请求消息,请求获取CSI-RS配置,其中请求获取的CSI-RS配置为第二测量结果中的SS-block中的部分或全部SS-block所对应的CSI-RS配置,第二基站向第一基站发送请求消息的响应,其中包括CSI-RS配置,第一基站将第二基站发送的CSI-RS配置发送至终端,终端对接收到的CSI-RS配置进一步测量,得到第一测量结果,并发送至第一基站,从而第一基站可确定质量较好较好的CSI-RS配置,或由第一基站将第一测量结果发送至第二基站,由第二基站确定质量较好较好的CSI-RS配置。
另一种可能的方法是,第一基站将邻区的所有SS block对应的CSI-RS配置发送至终端,使终端对接收到的CSI-RS进行测量,并上报测量结果。即,终端无需对SS block进行测量,具体参考图4,为本申请提供的测量方法示意图,第二基站与第一基站之间预先交互,从而第一基站获取到第二基站的所有SS block对应的CSI-RS配置,并将获取到的CSI-RS配置发送至终端,终端对接收到CSI-RS配置进行测量,得到第一测量结果后发送至第一基站,从而第一基站可基于第一测量结果选择质量较好的CSI-RS,或将第一测量结果发送至第二基站,由第二基站选择质量较好的CSI-RS
下面,对本申请提供的测量方法做详细说明。
1、终端设备接收第一基站发送的第一测量任务配置信息,所述第一测量任务配置信息用于配置终端设备对同步信号(比如PSS主同步信号和/或SSS辅同步信号)和/或第一CSI-RS进行测量。

第一测量任务配置信息包含测量事件配置,测量事件配置包含指示为NR-SS类型的第一门限,用于触发针对于第二基站的小区的同步信号的测量上报,或者配置事件配置包括指示为CSI-RS类型的第三门限,用于触发针对于第二基站的小区的第一CSI-RS的测量上报,或者一个测量事件配置里两者均包括,当满足两者中的任何一种类型的门限时,触发测量报告。

本申请还提供一种基于组(group)的波束(beam)管理的方法,可参考图10,包括:
在服务小区,网络可能需要基于CSI-RS参考信号进行beam管理,CSI获取等。用于这些作用的CSI-RS资源可能需要比用于RRM测量的CSI-RS资源更密集。
因此,可能的方法是:在UE接入时,或增加服务小区时,为UE配置该服务小区使用的CSI-RS资源。该CSI-RS资源用于beam管理,CSI获取,也用于RRM测量等。
在RRM测量配置里不需要携带服务小区的CSI-RS配置,UE使用小区增加时或初始接入时配置的CSI-RS资源进行RRM测量。
对于beam管理,基站通过RRC消息配置L1/L2测量,UE通过L1或L2信令(周期)上报测量结果,为了减少信令开销,可以通过RRC消息将需要测量的SS block或CSI-RS配置分组,每个组有一个组号,UE基于组号上报测量值用于beam管理,每个组号对应一个测量值,这个测量值可以是这个组号下的多个SS block合并生成的,比如是组号下的SS block测量值的和,也可以是平均值。Beam管理基于组来进行,比如增加一个组,删除一个组,而不再是增加或删除某个SS block。当增加一个组时,UE需要增加这个组里的每个SS block为服务SS block,同理,删除一个组时,删除组里的每个SS block。Beam分组的方法也可以用于RRM测量。
上述基于基于组(group)的波束(beam)管理的方法,可应用于上述测量过程,例如第一基站向终端发送的配置中包含组标识,该组标识用于波束参数的分组,终端基于组标识可以获得该组的质量,和/或功率信息。
本申请还提供一种测量GAP的方法,可参考图11,包括:
由于UE能力的限制,UE可能不能同时接收服务小区的数据和执行邻区的测量。基于UE能力,基站可能需要给UE配置一套测量gap,比如,在LTE***中,可以配置每40ms或80ms出现一个6ms的gap,在测量gap期间,UE去测量邻区,而不在当前的服务小区收发数据。
对于NR,由于高频场景下,参考信号不是全向发送的,而是采用sweeping的方式,因此可能出现,UE在测量gap期间去测量邻区,但是邻区并没有向该UE方向发送参考信号,因此原有的测量gap机制可能不能很好work。
一种方法是:给UE配置的邻区的CSI-RS资源占用的位置(时间)都作为测量gap,服务小区在这些位置不调度UE,UE去进行邻区的测量,可选地,不再单独配置测量gap。该方法简单,但是可能使得测量gap比较分散,效率相对较低。
该方法也适用于测量邻区的NR-SS,即将邻区的NR-SS调度信息发送给UE,这些配置所在的时间上作为测量gap。可选地,由于NR-SS发送的比较频繁,UE不需要每次都测量,因此发送给UE的邻区的NR-SS调度信息可以是邻区真实的调度信息的子集,或者基站指明需要测量的频度,比如,N次中只需要测量一次等。
另一种方法是:在向邻接基站请求CSI-RS配置时,同时携带当前UE的测量gap配置,这个测量gap配置可能是1套或是多套配置,邻接基站基于这些测量gap配置,生成给该UE的CSI-RS资源配置,即这些CSI-RS资源位于当前UE的测量gap期间内。可选地,如果邻接基站无法基于这些测量gap配置生成CSI-RS资源,则拒绝该请求,或者邻接基站生成CSI-RS资源以及该资源需要的gap配置发送给当前服务基站,当前服务基站将CSI-RS资源以及新的gap配置发送给UE,比如在测量对象里携带该测量对象对应的频率需要的测量gap配置,或是对应的频率下的小区需要的测量gap配置。
上述测量gap的方法可应用于上述测量过程,测量的gap用于指示终端测量的时机。

如图12所示,是本申请的一种可能的应用场景示意图,包括至少一个终端设备10,通过无线接口与无线接入网(英文:Radio access network,简称:RAN)进行通信,所述RAN包括至少一个网络设备20,该网络设备示例为基站,为清楚起见,图中只示出一个基站和一个终端设备。终端设备10还可以与另一终端设备10进行通信,如设备对设备(英文:Device to Device,简称:D2D)或机器对机器(英文:Machine to Machine,简称:M2M)场景下的通信。网络设备20可以与终端设备10通信,也可以与另一网络设备20进行通信,如宏基站和接入点之间的通信。所述RAN与核心网络(英文:core network,简称:CN)相连。可选地,所述CN可以耦合到一个或者更多的数据网络(英文:Data Network,简称:DN),例如英特网,公共交换电话网(英文:public switched telephone network,简称:PSTN)等。
本申请中,名词“网络”和“***”经常交替使用,但本领域的技术人员可以理解其含义。
为便于理解下面对本申请中涉及到的一些名词做些说明。
1)、终端设备(Terminal Equipment),又称之为用户设备(英文:User Equipment, 简称:UE),或称为终端(Terminal),是一种向用户提供语音和/或数据连通性的设备,例如,具有无线连接功能或无线通信功能的手持式设备、车载设备、可穿戴设备、计算设备、控制设备或连接到无线调制解调器的其它处理设备,以及各种形式的移动台(英文:Mobile station,简称:MS)等。常见的终端设备包括:手机(phone)、平板电脑(pad)、笔记本电脑(notebook)、掌上电脑、移动互联网设备(英文:mobile internet device,简称:MID)、可穿戴设备如智能手表、智能手环、计步器等。为方便描述,本申请中,上面提到的设备统称为终端设备。
2)、网络设备,例如可以是基站,基站又称为RAN设备,是一种将终端设备接入到无线网络的设备,包括但不限于:演进型节点B(英文:evolved Node B,简称:eNB)、无线网络控制器(英文:radio network controller,简称:RNC)、节点B(英文:Node B,简称:NB)、基站控制器(英文:Base Station Controller,简称:BSC)、基站收发台(英文:Base Transceiver Station,简称:BTS)、家庭基站(例如,Home evolved NodeB,或Home Node B,简称:HNB)、基带单元(英文:BaseBand Unit,简称:BBU)、基站(英文:g NodeB,简称:gNB)、传输点(英文:Transmitting and receiving point,简称:TRP)、发射点(英文:Transmitting point,简称:TP)、移动交换中心等,此外,还可以包括Wifi接入点(英文:Access Point,简称:AP)等。其中通过无线信道与终端设备进行直接通信的装置通常是基站,所述基站可以包括各种形式的宏基站、微基站、中继站、接入点或射频拉远单元(英文:Remote Radio Unit,简称:RRU)等,当然,与终端设备进行无线通信的也可以是其他具有无线通信功能的网络设备,本申请对此不做唯一限定。在不同***中,具备基站功能的设备的名称可能会有所不同,例如在LTE网络中,称为演进的节点B(evolved NodeB,eNB或eNodeB),在第三代(the 3rd Generation,3G)网络中,称为节点B(Node B)等。
下面对本申请实施例中所涉及到的一些通用概念或者定义做出解释,需要说明的是,本文中的一些英文简称为以LTE***为例对本申请实施例进行的描述,其可能随着网络的演进发生变化,具体演进可以参考相应标准中的描述。
本申请中,波束(beam)可以理解为空间资源,可以指具有能量传输指向性的发送或接收预编码向量。并且,该发送或接收预编码向量能够通过索引信息进行标识。其中,所述能量传输指向性可以指通过该预编码向量对所需发送的信号进行预编码处理,经过该预编码处理的信号具有一定的空间指向性,接收经过该预编码向量进行预编码处理后的信号具有较好的接收功率,如满足接收解调信噪比等;所述能量传输指向性也可以指通过该预编码向量接收来自不同空间位置发送的相同信号具有不同的接收功率。可选地,同一通信设备(比如终端设备或网络设备)可以有不同的预编码向量,不同的通信设备也可以有不同的预编码向量,即对应不同的波束。波束可以有多种称谓,例如波束可以称为空间资源,空间权值,空间方向,空间方位等,随着技术的发展,波束可能在不同时期,不同场景中有不同称为,本申请对此不作限制。
针对通信设备的配置或者能力,一个通信设备在同一时刻可以使用多个不同的预编码向量中的一个或者多个,即同时可以形成一个波束或者多个波束。波束信息可以通过索引信息进行标识,可选地,所述索引信息可以对应配置终端设备的资源标识(英文:identity,简称:ID),比如,所述索引信息可以对应配置的信道状态信息参考信号(英文:Channel status information Reference Signal,简称:CSI-RS)的ID或者index 或资源,也可以是对应配置的上行探测参考信号(英文:Sounding Reference Signal,简称:SRS)的ID或者资源。或者,可选地,所述索引信息也可以是通过波束承载的信号或信道显示或隐式承载的索引信息,比如,所述索引信息包括但是不限于通过波束发送的同步信号或者广播信道指示该波束的索引信息。高频小区,例如可以理解为工作频段是大于或等于6GHz以上的频段的小区。数据通过高频进行传输的时候,一般传输的路损较大,为了保证业务的有效传输,高频小区会引入波束赋形(beamforming)技术,该技术通过把信号的能量集中于某一个需要的方向或beam,形成对准终端设备的波束,将发射能量对准终端设备,从而提高终端设备的解调信噪比,改善小区边缘用户体验。高频数据传输可采用波束对(beam pair),发送方对准一个方向或beam进行数据发送,接收方也需要对准相应的方向或beam接收数据。终端设备和网络设备可能在同一时间单元中,可以通过使用至少一个beam pair中的Tx beam进行数据传输。其中,beam pair,包含一个发送波束(Tx beam)和一个接收波束(Rx beam),例如可以是网络设备(例如gNB)为Tx beam,终端设备(例如UE)为Rx beam,或者是,终端设备(例如UE)为Tx beam,网络设备(例如gNB)为Rx beam。
在NR中,为了提高传输的鲁棒性,UE可以和至少一个TRP之间维持一个小区的多个下行和/或上行服务波束对的连接。服务波束对为连接态或激活态的UE提供无线资源的波束对。连接态的UE为保持UE与接入网设备之间的RRC连接和接入网设备与核心网设备的连接的UE。激活态的UE为保持接入网设备与核心网设备的连接,无UE与接入网设备之间的RRC连接的UE。空闲态UE为无接入网设备与核心网设备的连接和无UE与接入网设备之间的RRC连接的UE。其中,至少一个TRP可以位于不同的地理位置,以扩大小区的覆盖。因此,在一些场景中,不同TRP和UE之间的下行服务波束对连接的信道条件可能是各自独立的,那么,当UE移动到一个新的位置时,有可能一些服务波束对的信道质量,如路损,由于一些临时的阻挡,比如树的阻挡,而下降,从而发生波束失败(beam failure),而同时,一些其他的服务波束的信道质量还是好的。其中,服务波束或服务波束对为可以为连接态的UE或激活态的UE提供无线资源的波束或波束对,服务波束包括服务上行波束和/或下行服务波束。
针对下行波束,终端设备与网络设备维护一个相同的下行服务波束集,该下行服务波束集用于指示终端设备与网络设备之间可用的下行服务波束,其中,下行服务波束指的是下行方向,网络设备可用于向终端设备提供服务的波束,例如,网络设备可在下行服务波束中向终端设备发送下行控制信令等。
由于终端设备的移动等原因,导致下行服务波束集中的一些波束发生失败,从而使得终端设备能够对发生波束失败的波束进行及时测量,并上报至网络设备,由网络设备基于终端设备上报的测量结果,重新为终端设备配置波束,从而保证网络设备与终端设备之间通信质量。
下面将结合附图,对本申请实施例所提供的方案进行更为详细的描述。

可选地,在步骤204之后,还包括步骤205、终端设备接收网络设备发送的针对所述第一波束的标识的响应消息。
可选地,终端设备在收到响应消息时,可以对所述终端设备的下行服务波束集中的波束进行修改或调整操作,或者也可以不作修改或调整,以便于终端设备可以正确或有效地接收网络设备在至少一个下行波束发送的数据,其中,该至少一个下行波束是网络设备通过响应消息指示的。可选地,该数据包括下行控制面数据和/或用户面数据。
所述修改或调整操作,包括:(1)所述响应消息指示的服务所述终端设备的波束的标识与所述终端设备的下行服务波束集中的部分波束的标识不同,则终端设备根据响应消息对下行服务波束集中的部分波束进行部分调整(增加或删除),比如,修改下行服务波束集中部分波束的角度或相位;(2)所述响应消息指示的服务所述终端设备的波束的标识与所述终端设备的下行服务波束集中的所有波束的标识均不同,则终端设备根据响应消息对下行服务波束集中的全部波束进行部分或全部调整(增加或删除),比如,修改接收波束的相位或角度;(3)所述响应消息指示的服务所述终端设备的波束的标识与所述终端设备的下行服务波束集中的所有波束的标识均相同,则终端设备根据响应消息对下行服务波束集中的全部波束不做调整。应理解,这里只是以这三种情况为例进行说明,实际中可以有其他合理的调整或修改操作,并不对本申请实施例构成限定。
可选地,网络设备发送的所述响应消息可以包括至少一个下行波束的标识,以便于向终端设备通知用于为终端设备服务的下行波束。这里,所述至少一个下行波束可 以理解为终端设备用于更新终端设备的下行服务波束集的波束。
可选地,所述响应消息可以是上行授权(UL grant)或下行分配(DL assignment)。
可选地,网络设备发送的所述响应消息也可以通过物理层信令或MAC CE进行发送。
可选地,上述步骤202的执行需要满足一定条件,即终端设备在满足一定条件时,才触发向网络设备发送第一波束的标识,比如,可以是当终端设备对波束测量后,确定波束失败时,则触发终端设备通过物理层控制信令或MAC层控制信令向所述网络设备发送第一波束的标识,可选地,若终端设备的服务波束的参考信号接收强度或参考信号接收质量在预设时长内均低于第一阈值,则确定波束失败,可选地,该服务波束的参考信号可以是控制信道和/或数据信道的参考信号,可选地,如果终端设备配置了M个服务波束,其中有N个DL beam的参考信号接收信号强度或质量在预设时长内均低于预设门限,那么终端设备确定发生波束失败,M大于等于N,M,N为整数且均可由网络配置的。参考信号可以是以下至少一种:同步信号(PSS/SSS),CSI-RS,小区参考信号(英文:Cell Reference Signal,简称:CRS),波束参考信号(英文:Beam Reference Signal,简称:BRS),解调参考信号(英文:Demodulation Reference Signal,简称:DMRS)。再比如,启动或重启第一定时器,当第一定时器超时,则触发终端设备通过物理层控制信令或MAC层控制信令向所述网络设备发送第一波束的标识,可选地,所述第一定时器在生成MAC层控制信令时,可重启并重新计时。
再比如,启动或重启第二定时器,当第二定时器超时,且未收到针对第二波束的标识的响应时,则触发终端设备通过物理层控制信令或MAC层控制信令向所述网络设备发送第一波束的标识,可选地,所述第二定时器在生成MAC层控制信令时,可重启并重新计时,其中,第二波束为发生波束失败的波束或满足上述第一条件的波束,其中,第一波束与第二波束可以相同,也可以不同,具体来说,终端设备向网络设备发送第二波束的标识,当在第二定时器超时之前,终端设备一直未收到针对第二波束的标识的响应,则终端设备可重新上报第二波束(这里,第二波束与第一波束相同),或者是终端设备重新进行波束测量,并将测量得到的第一波束上报至网络设备。
可选地,在上述步骤201之后,若终端设备确定没有可用的上行资源,则终端设备执行步骤202之前,还包括:终端设备向网络设备发送第一请求,所述第一请求用于请求上行资源,进一步地,终端设备从网络设备接收用于指示上行资源的第二指示信息,可选地,所述上行资源用于传输上述物理层控制信令或MAC层控制信令,所述物理层控制信令或MAC层控制信令包含所述第一波束的标识。在一种可能的设计中,所述第一请求为随机接入的前导序列,且通过物理随机接入信道发送至所述网络设备,并接收网络设备发送的针对所述随机接入的前导序列的响应消息中包括用于指示上行资源的第二指示信息;在另一种可能的设计中,所述第一请求为上行控制信令,且通过物理上行控制信道发送至所述网络设备。
下面结合一个具体的示例对上述方法步骤进行说明。
假设终端设备维护两个服务beam,具体为beam1和beam2,即终端设备的下行波束服务集为{beam1,beam2},同样地,网络设备针对该终端设备的下行波束服务集也为{beam1,beam2}。
终端设备监听beam1和beam2的PDCCH,以便获取可能的下行控制信令,比如 下行分配(downlink assignment)或上行授权UL grant。由于终端设备移动到一个新的位置,终端设备经过测量,确定beam1和beam2的信号质量或强度变得较弱(比如,beam1和beam2的信号质量或强度小于门限值),因而确定发生波束失败,并且终端设备确定beam3的信号质量或强度较好,因而beam3可以考虑添加为新的服务beam。
针对高频小区的测量,由于终端设备确定发生波束失败,此时,分为两种情形:
1)如果终端设备接收到网络设备发送的UL grant,根据该UL grant,终端设备生成物理层控制信令或MAC层控制信令,其中包含第一波束的标识,所述第一波束的标识为beam1的标识、beam2的标识,或者为beam1的标识、beam2的标识、beam3的标识,或者为beam3的标识,并向网络设备发送物理层控制信令或MAC层控制信令。物理层控制信令或MAC层控制信令可用于通知网络设备beam1和beam2的信号强度或质量较差,beam3的信号质量好。根据物理层控制信令或MAC层控制信令,网络设备决定不再通过beam1和beam2向终端设备发送下行控制信令,并把beam3添加为服务终端设备的beam3,后续将会通过beam3向终端设备发送下行控制信令。终端设备接收到网络设备发送的针对上述物理层控制信令或MAC层控制信令的响应之后,不再beam1和beam2上监听PDCCH,在beam3上监听PDCCH。并且,终端设备和网络设备均将各自的下行服务波束集调整为{beam3}。
2)如果终端设备没有接收到网络设备发送的UL grant,则触发终端设备通过物理上行控制信道(英文:Physical Uplink Shared CHannel,简称:PUCCH)或物理随机接入信道(英文:Physical Random Access Channel,简称:PRACH),向网络设备发送第一请求,该所述第一请求用于请求上行资源,在请求到上行资源后,可进一步地,根据上述1),向网络设备继续发送包含第一波束的标识的物理层控制信令或MAC层控制信令。
针对上述步骤202,在一种可能的实现方式中,当终端设备向网络设备发送MAC层控制信令时,还可以通过以下方式实现:
可选地,终端设备中的数据(包括控制面数据和用户面数据)具有发送优先级,终端设备根据上行资源和预设的发送发送优先级,进行资源分配,并按照发送优先级高低顺序,优先分配资源给发送优先级高的数据。可选地,所述预设发送发送优先级可以是协议预先规定的,或由网络设备预先配置的,在一种可能的实现方式中,终端设备的MAC层按照发送优先级高低顺序,优先分配资源给发送优先级高的数据,可选地,MAC层控制信令的发送发送优先级大于缓冲区状态报告(英文:buffer status report,简称:BSR)的发送发送优先级,可选地,MAC层控制信令的发送优先级小于终端设备的标识的控制信令的发送优先级。
例如,所述预设发送优先级从高到低,依次为:
1.C-RNTI的控制信令或UL-CCCH的数据
2.第一波束的标识的控制信令
3.BSR的控制信令
4.除UL-CCCH的数据之外的逻辑信道数据
其中,上行公共控制信道(英文:Uplink Common Control Physical Channel),简称:UL-CCCH)的数据为SRB的数据,还可以理解为RRC层的数据,比如连接建立请求消息或重建立请求消息。小区无线网络临时标识(英文:Cell Radio Network  Temporary Identifier,简称:C-RNTI)为终端设备的标识,用于网络设备识别终端设备的身份,主要用于随机接入过程中。BSR:缓冲区状态报告,网络设备的调度参考信息,用于报告终端设备目前上行缓存中有多少数据等待传输。而网络设备根据终端设备上报的BSR分配上行传输资源,从而避免无线资源浪费。除UL-CCCH的数据之外的逻辑信道数据指的是用户面的普通数据。
上报的粒度可以以逻辑信道组或逻辑信道为粒度。终端设备把分配资源的数据进行复用和组装,生成一个MAC包,比如传输块或MAC协议数据单元(英文:Protocol Data Unit,简称:PDU)。终端设备根据所述上行资源,向网络设备发送MAC包。
可以理解的,终端设备可以执行上述实施例中的预设优先级的部分或全部优先级操作,这些操作仅是示例,本发明实施例还可以执行其它操作或者各种操作的变形,有可能并非要执行上述实施例中的全部优先级的操作。比如优先级只有1>2>3,不考虑4,等等。
下面结合具体例子进行说明。
假设上行传输资源包括的传输块大小为50bytes,也就是说,该无线传输资源最多能够传输50bytes的数据。假设C-RNTI需要15bytes的资源,第一波束的标识需要30bytes,BSR需要10bytes。由于基站分配的上行传输资源包括的传输块大小不能够同时上报C-RNTI、第一波束的标识、BSR。那么终端设备根据优先级:C-RNTI>第一波束的标识>BSR,优先分配资源给优先级高的数据。也就是说,分配15bytes的资源给C-RNTI,再从剩余的35bytes资源中分配30bytes资源给第一波束的标识,剩余5bytes的资源,不足以上报BSR,此时就不会上报BSR,但是可以上报一些padding数据,继而组成一个MAC PDU,如图14所示。
针对终端设备向网络设备发送第一请求,在一种可能的实现方式中,可通过下述方式实现:
1)、第一请求为随机接入前导序列。
当第一请求为随机接入前导序列时,具体实现过程中,包括以下步骤:
步骤1、终端设备接收网络设备发送的随机接入配置信息。
所述配置信息包括N个RACH配置信息(包括RACH时频资源、可选地,还包括Preamble组)、该N个RACH配置信息关联用于发送SS-Block或第一CSI-RS的下行波束的标识信息。该DL beam的标识信息可以是PBCH信道中的time index。
步骤2、终端设备进行基于SS-block或第一CSI-RS的波束测量,确定可用的或最好的下行波束。
终端设备根据所述可用的或最好的下行波束的标识,确定所述可用的或最好的下行波束的标识的关联的RACH配置,并使用所述RACH配置向网络设备发送Preamble。
步骤3、终端设备在所述下行波束上接收网络设备发送的随机接入响应消息,该随机接入响应消息包括上行授权,上行时间提前量等。
具体地,当终端设备发送了随机接入前导序列,终端设备在随机接入响应窗口内使用RA-RNTI监听PDCCH,以便接收网络设备发送的针对该随机接入前导序列的随机接入响应消息。该随机接入响应窗口的时长可以预先规定的或网络预先配置。
RA-RNTI的计算可以通过以下公式进行:
RA-RNTI可以通过参数:t_id、f_id、slot_id共同得出的。
RA-RNTI可以通过参数:t_id、f_id、symbol_id共同得出的。
RA-RNTI可以通过参数:t_id、f_id、slot_id、symbol_id共同得出的。
如下:
RA-RNTI=1+a*t_id+b*symbol_id+c*f_id+d*slot_id
a,b,c,d为自然数或非负整数。本发明方案包括以上公式的任意组合。
比如一种可能的组合形式:
RA-RNTI=1+t_id+max_t*time_unit_id+(max_t+max_t*max_time_unit)*f_id
其中,t_id是PRACH资源所在的第一个子帧的子帧编号,为整数;max_t是一个无线帧的子帧数;time_unit_id是PRACH资源所在的第一个子帧的第一个time_unit的time_unit编号,其中该time_unit可以为slot或symbol(参考子载波间隔的slot或symbol),以及未来可能的时间粒度,为整数;max_time_unit为max_time_unit在一个子帧内time_unit数且为整数;f_id是PRACH资源所在频域资源的索引。
比如另外一种可能的组合形式:
RA-RNTI=1+t_id+max_t*f_id+(max_t+max_t*max_f)*time_unit_id
其中,t_id是PRACH资源所在的第一个子帧的子帧编号,为整数;max_t是一个无线帧的子帧数;time_unit_id是PRACH资源所在的第一个子帧的第一个time_unit的time_unit编号,其中该time_unit可以为slot或symbol,以及未来可能的时间粒度,为整数;max_time_unit为max_time_unit在一个子帧内time_unit数且为整数;f_id是PRACH资源所在频域资源的索引。
可选地,RAR还可以包括至少一个第二CSI-RS配置信息,用于终端设备进行CSI-RS的波束测量。其中,任意一个第二CSI-RS配置信息还可以包括该第二CSI-RS配置的标识信息,比如CSI-RS index。RAR还可以包括N值,该N值用于终端设备从N个beam的参考信号接收功率和/或参考信号接收质量中合成小区的参考信号接收功率和/或参考信号接收质量。该N值还可以在从***消息中获得。
步骤4、终端设备根据随机接入响应包括的上行授权,向网络设备发送第一波束的标识。
可选地,所述第一波束的标识可通过MAC控制信令进行发送的,还可以理解为发送波束报告或发送波束恢复报告。
可选地,作为步骤4的一种可替代的方案,所述终端设备向网络设备发送第三波束的标识。
所述第三波束为满足第二条件的第二CSI-RS的配置标识对应的波束中的部分或全部波束。其中,第二CSI-RS的配置标识可以为CSI-RS index,所述第二条件为基于第二CSI-RS测量的信号的质量或强度较好的N个第二CSI-RS的配置标识,或,基于第二CSI-RS测量的信号质量或强度大于阈值的N个第二CSI-RS的配置标识。
可选地所述终端设备还向网络设备发送基于第二CSI-RS的波束的参考信号接收功率(Reference Signal Receiving Power,简称:RSRP)和/或参考信号接收质量(英文:Reference Signal Receiving Quality,简称:RSRQ)。可选地所述终端设备还向网络设备发送基于第二CSI-RS的小区参考信号接收功率(Reference Signal Receiving Power,简称:RSRP)和/或参考信号接收质量(英文:Reference Signal Receiving Quality,简称:RSRQ)。
步骤5、终端设备接收网络设备发送的竞争解决消息。所述竞争解决消息可以C-RNTI加扰的下行控制信令,比如UL grant或DL assignment。可选地,该竞争解决消息还可以携带针对第一波束的标识或第二CSI-RS配置的标识的响应消息。
可选地,终端设备在所述第一波束或第二CSI-RS配置关联的接收波束中接收网络设备发送的竞争解决消息。
2)、第一请求为物理层控制信令。
步骤1、终端设备通过物理上行控制信道向网络设备发送第一请求。
步骤2、终端设备接收网络设备发送上行授权。
步骤3、终端设备根据随机接入响应包括的上行授权,向网络设备发送第一波束的标识。
步骤4、终端设备接收网络设备发送的针对第一波束的标识的响应消息。
以上,即为终端设备向网络设备发送第一请求的两种可能的实现方式,当然,实际应用中不限于上述两种实现方式。
可选地,该物理上行信道可以位于主小区或辅小区中。
可选地,在一种可能的实现方式中,在上述步骤201之后,若终端设备确定没有可用的上行资源,则终端设备不执行步骤202~步骤204,而是执行以下步骤:
步骤1、终端设备通过物理上行控制信道向网络设备发送第二请求,所述第二请求消息中携带第一波束的标识。
可选地,第二请求为上行控制信令。
步骤2、终端设备接收网络设备发送的针对第一波束的标识的响应消息。
在该实现方式下,终端设备通过第二请求将第一波束的标识发送至网络设备,因而无需进一步请求上行资源,可节约开销和提高处理速度。
可选地,该物理上行信道可以位于主小区或辅小区中。
在以上任一实现方案中,可选地,网络设备还可以在向终端设备发送针对第一波数的响应消息时,可在响应消息中携带CSI-RS的配置信息,用于终端设置针对CSI-RS进行波束测量。终端设备在接收到所述配置信息,进行波束测量,生成测量结果,并向网络设备发送所述基于CSI-RS的波束测量结果。
可选地,针对上述任一实现方式,若终端设备无法收到服务于终端设备的波束的标识,则向网络设备发送连接重建立请求,其中,终端设备在以下情形下,可认为无法收到服务于终端设备的波束的标识,例如,当终端设备向网络设备发送第一波束的标识时,终端设备未收到针对所述第一波束的标识的响应消息,并且终端设备确定当前波束均不可用,则终端设备确定无线链路失败,从而向网络设备发送连接重建立请求,可选地,所述连接重建立请求可以是无线资源控制(英文:Radio Resource Control,简称:RRC)连接重建立请求;再比如,当终端设备向网络设备发送第一请求,所述第一请求用于请求上行资源,所述终端设备在设定时长内未接收到针对所述第一请求的响应消息,并且终端设备发送所述第一请求的次数超过预设次数,则终端设备确定无线链路失败,从而向网络设备发送连接重建立请求,可选地,所述连接重建立请求可以是RRC连接重建立请求。
下面结合具体的例子进行详细说明。
终端设备的物理层在以下任一场景下,向终端设备的RRC层指示失步指示(out of  sync):
情形1、没有一个服务波束的参考信号接收质量或强度超过门限
情形2、没有一个服务波束的参考信号接收质量或强度超过门限,且,没有其他可用的下行波束
方案一、当终端设备的RRC层接收到物理层的连续N个失步指示,启动第四定时器。在第四定时器运行期间,接收到PHY层的in sync指示,停止第四定时器。N为整数,是由网络设备配置的或协议预先规定的。
当第四定时器启动时,终端设备确定无线链路失败,因而发起RRC重建立。
方案二、当终端设备确定波束失败时,终端设备启动第三定时器,所述第三定时器用于终端设备搜索或鉴别可用的下行波束。若第三定时器超时,仍然没有可用的服务波束,且没有搜索出其他新的可用的波束,则终端设备确定无线链路失败,因而发起RRC重建立过程,若第三定时器超时,但确定有至少一个可用的服务波束,则向网络设备发送第一波束的标识,具体可参考步骤201~步骤204的描述。需要说明的是,“可用”可以理解为,波束的参考信号接收质量或强度大于或等于门限。
可选地,当终端设备向网络设备发送第一波束的标识后,在预设时间内一直未接收到网络设备发送的针对第一波束的标识的的响应消息或针对波束报告的响应消息,则终端设备确定无线链路失败,并发起RRC重建立。具体的,终端设备的物理层或MAC层向终端设备的RRC层发送波束失败指示,终端设备RRC层确定无线链路失败,发起RRC重建立。
可选地,当终端设备向网络设备发送了M次第一请求,且一直未接收到网络设备发送的针对第一请求的响应消息或针对第一波束的标识的响应消息,则终端设备确定无线链路失败,并发起RRC重建立过程,M为整数,是由网络设备配置的或协议预先规定的。具体的,终端设备的物理层或MAC层向终端设备的RRC层发送波束失败指示,终端设备RRC层确定无线链路失败,发起RRC重建立。
可选地,第三定时器和第四定时器的时长可以由协议预先规定的,或,网络设备预先配置的。
本申请中,上述步骤201中,终端设备对网络设备的波束进行测量,可选地,可通过下述方式实现:
可选地,终端设备还接收网络设备发送的第一配置,所述第一配置包括窗口周期和窗口时长;所述终端设备对网络设备的波束进行测量,包括:所述终端设备根据所述窗口周期和窗口时长,对所述网络设备的波束进行测量。通过该测量方法,可避免终端设备不断的进行波束测量,因而可减少终端设备的功耗,也可省电。
具体地,参考图15,为波束测量窗口周期和窗口时长示意图,终端设备根据所述第一配置,周期性在窗口时长中进行波束测量,用于确定是否发生波束失败。例如,如图15所示,可在波束管理时间配置(英文:Beam Management Timing Configuration,简称:BMTC)的ON期间做波束测量,波束测量可以针对SS-block或CSI-RS。
可选地,如果终端设备同时还配置了非连续接收(英文:Discontinuous Reception,简称:DRX),则终端设备还可以在非连续接收的激活期间(比如DRX ON)进行波束测量,从而确定是否发生波束失败。基站在配置BMTC的时候需要考虑DRX ON duration,比如参考图16,可以配置BMTC的ON duration在DRX ON duration之前, 以便终端设备在DRX ON期间可以确定是否有可用的下行波束接收下行控制信令(下行分配或上行授权),如果没有,在终端设备向网络设备发送第一波束的标识,发起波束恢复过程;否则,不发起波束恢复过程。
DRX激活期间的作用是用于控制终端设备监听PDCCH,以便获取下行控制信令。可选地,监听所有激活小区的PDCCH。
针对终端设备配置了DRX的情况,可选地,在终端设备处于调度请求的触发状态的情况下,终端设备在预设时长内确定是否有可用的下行服务波束,如果有,则终端设备向网络设备发送调度请求,并监听PDCCH,以便获取可能的UL grant;如果没有,则终端设备不向网络设备发送调度请求,触发波束恢复过程。其中,调度请求用于终端设备向网络设备请求上行传输资源。通过该方式,当终端设备确定没有可用的波束时,就不发送调度请求,可节省终端设备的电量。
作为另一种实现方式,本申请还提供另一种波束管理方法,具体包括以下步骤:
步骤A、终端设备对网络设备的波束进行测量。
可选地,终端设备可以是周期性测量,或根据网络设备的指示进行测量,可选地,终端设备可测量出发生波束失败的波束,其中,发生波束失败的波束可以是参考信号接受强度RSRP或参考信号接受质量RSRQ低于第一阈值的波束,或者是,参考信号接受强度RSRP或参考信号接受质量RSRQ在预设时间内一直低于第一阈值的波束,也可以将发生波束失败的波束理解为参考信号接受强度较弱或参考信号接受质量较差的波束,可选地,终端设备还可测量出满足第一条件的波束,满足第一条件的波束可以是参考信号接受强度或参考信号接受质量高于第二阈值的波束,也可以将满足第一条件的波束理解为参考信号接受强度较强或参考信号接受质量较好的N个波束,其中N大于等于1。

步骤C、若所述终端设备确定有上行资源,那么根据上行资源,生成波束恢复报告。
其中,波束恢复报告包含第一波束的标识,所述第一波束为发生波束失败的波束或满足第一条件的波束。
所述波束恢复报告用于通知网络设备发生beam failure的至少一个下行服务波束,可选地,还可以包括用于通知网络设备参考信号接受强度或质量较好的下行波束。网络设备可以根据波束恢复报告从下行服务波束集中删除发生beam failure的至少一个下行服务波束;添加参考信号接受强度或质量较好的下行波束到下行服务波束集中。
可选地,波束恢复报告可以通过物理层控制信令或MAC层控制信令进行发送的。
步骤D、根据所述上行资源,终端设备向网络设备发送所述波束恢复报告。
网络设备根据所述波束恢复报告确定哪一个或哪些下行波束可以用于与终端设备进行数据传输,比如是否通过这些下行波束发送下行控制信令。如果网络设备确定至少一个服务服务波束不再用于发送下行控制信令,和/或至少一个下行服务波束可以用于发送下行控制信令,则网络设备生成一个波束恢复报告的响应消息。终端设备根据波束恢复报告的响应消息,调整接收波束的设置,以便有效的获取下行控制信令。
在上述步骤B中,若终端设备确定没有可用的上行资源,则在步骤C之前,还包括:
步骤E、终端设备向网络设备发送波束恢复请求。
