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，显然，所描述的实施例仅仅是本申请一部分实施例，并不是全部的实施例。基于本申请中的实施例，本领域普通技术人员在没有做出创造性劳动前提下所获得的所有其他实施例，都属于本申请保护的范围。
在长期演进(LTE，Long Term Evolution)等通信***中，当为下行控制信道PDCCH配置的下行波束都失败时，就认为无线链路失败，开启无线链路重建的过程。这种方式除了增加时延外，还有可能会造成资源的浪费，因为换个发送波束和/或接收波束就有可能使得下行控制信号的接收质量可以满足要求。为了避免这种资源浪费和时延，在新空口(NR，New Radio)标准中，一种快速、可靠的波束失败检测和恢复过程被标准化，使得网络侧能够快速从波束失败中恢复传输过程。在NR标准的版本15(Rel-15)阶段规定了主小 区(Pcell)的波束失败恢复过程，在NR标准的版本16(Rel-16)阶段规定了辅小区(SCell)的波束失败恢复过程。
一个UE在进行了初始接入后可以被配置一个或多个SCell。一个SCell可以被配置为只有下行链路(DL，downlink)，或者包含下行链路DL和上行链路(UL，Uplink)。
每个SCell都可以被配置波束失败恢复(beam failure recovery,BFR)过程。波束失败恢复的过程如下：
UE进行波束失败监测，如果UE检测到SCell DL的波束失败，则向基站发送波束失败恢复请求(BFRQ，beam failure recovery request)。UE发送的波束失败恢复请求至少包括波束失败事件的上报和发生波束失败的成员载波(Component Carrier，CC)的标识(或标号index/indices)的上报。如果UE检测到符合一定质量条件的新的波束，还可以向基站上报新波束的标识(或标号index/indices)。
基站接收到UE的波束失败事件的上报后，基站会为发生报数失败的SCell重新配置下行波束。
为了进行BFR，UE测量下行控制信道PDCCH的下行波束质量(或者认为测量控制资源集合(Control Resource SET，CORESET)的信道质量)。UE通过检测用来进行SCell波束失败检测(Beam failure detection，BFD)的下行参考信号的质量，来进行SCell的波束失败检测。其中，用来进行SCell BFD的下行参考信号可以通过无线资源控制(Radio Resource Control，RRC)显式配置或者通过传输配置指示(TCI，Transmission Configuration Indicator)状态隐式配置。每个SCell最多可以配置8个下行波束，例如最多8个TCI状态(state)或者最多8个用于BFD的下行参考信号。下行控制信道的波束是激活TCI状态的一个子集。
NR***关于UE对SCell的波束失败恢复请求(BFRQ，beam failure recovery request)的过程包括如下两个步骤：
步骤1：UE上报波束失败事件；
步骤2：UE上报发生波束失败的CC的索引(index/indices)以及新波束信息(如果存在新波束则上报)。
其中，步骤1的信息可以通过专门配置给BFR的SR-like(Schedule Request-like)的物理上行控制信道(PUCCH，Physical Uplink Control Channel)资源发送，所述SR-like的PUCCH是指发送方式类似于发送调度请求(SR，Schedule Request)的PUCCH；步骤2的信息通过物理上行共享信道(PUSCH，PhysicalUplinkSharedChannel)中的媒体接入控制单元(MAC-CE，Media Access Control Control Element)发送。需要说明的是：通过专门配置给BFR的SR-like的PUCCH来上报波束失败事件，未必是上报波束失败事件的唯一方式。
用来携带发生波束失败的CC的index/indices和/或BFR新波束信息的MAC-CE，有可能携带在发送波束失败事件的PUCCH所对应的PUSCH上(基于该PUCCH的调度请求所调度的PUSCH)，也可能复用在一个以及已经存在的PUSCH资源上，例如复用在一个配置准许的PUSCH(configured grant PUSCH)上。
如果步骤2的MAC-CE指示了新波束且被UE检测到，UE在接收到对于步骤2的MAC-CE的响应的K个符号后(K是正整数)，UE使用步骤2的MAC-CE指示的新的波束在发生波束失败的SCell上进行PDCCH的下行接收。这适用于发生了波束失败的SCell的所有的CORESET。
然而，在UE检测到波束失败且接收到BFR响应后，关于UE使用什么样的接收波束接收PDCCH以外的其他信道信号，以及UE使用什么样的发送波束发送上行信号，目前尚无解决方案。
因此，本申请实施例提供了信号传输方法及装置，给出了相关的解决方案，可以使得UE使用更好的上行发送波束发送PUCCH，且UE和网络侧关于上行信号的发送波束有着相同的共识，从而使得基站可以使用最优的接收波束进行上行信号的接收，保证了***性能。
其中，方法和装置是基于同一申请构思的，由于方法和装置解决问题的原理相似，因此装置和方法的实施可以相互参见，重复之处不再赘述。
本申请实施例提供的技术方案可以适用于多种***，尤其是5G***。例如适用的***可以是全球移动通讯(global system of mobile communication，GSM)***、码分多址(code division multiple access，CDMA)***、宽带码分多址(Wideband Code Division Multiple Access，WCDMA)通用分组无线业务(general packet radio service，GPRS)***、长期演进(long term evolution，LTE)***、LTE频分双工(frequency division duplex，FDD)***、LTE时分双工(time division duplex，TDD)、通用移动***(universal mobile telecommunication system，UMTS)、全球互联微波接入(worldwide interoperability for microwave access，WiMAX)***、5G***以及5G NR***等。这多种***中均包括终端设备和网络设备。
本申请实施例涉及的终端设备，可以是指向用户提供语音和/或数据连通性的设备，具有无线连接功能的手持式设备、或连接到无线调制解调器的其他处理设备。在不同的***中，终端设备的名称可能也不相同，例如在5G***中，终端设备可以称为用户设备(user equipment，UE)。无线终端设备可以经RAN与一个或多个核心网进行通信，无线终端设备可以是移动终端设备，如移动电话(或称为“蜂窝”电话)和具有移动终端设备的计算机，例如，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，它们与无线接入网交换语言和/或数据。例如，个人通信业务(personal communication service，PCS)电话、无绳电话、会话发起协议(session initiated protocol，SIP)话机、无线本地环路(wireless local loop，WLL)站、个人数字助理(personal digital assistant，PDA)等设备。无线终端设备也可以称为***、订户单元(subscriber unit)、订户站(subscriber station)，移动站(mobile station)、移动台(mobile)、远程站(remote station)、接入点(access point)、远程终端设备(remote terminal)、接入终端设备(access terminal)、用户终端设备(user terminal)、用户代理(user agent)、用户装置(user device)，本申请实施例中并不限定。
本申请实施例涉及的网络设备，可以是基站，该基站可以包括多个小区。 根据具体应用场合不同，基站又可以称为接入点，或者可以是指接入网中在空中接口上通过一个或多个扇区与无线终端设备通信的设备，或者其它名称。网络设备可用于将收到的空中帧与网际协议(internet protocol，IP)分组进行相互转换，作为无线终端设备与接入网的其余部分之间的路由器，其中接入网的其余部分可包括网际协议(IP)通信网络。网络设备还可协调对空中接口的属性管理。例如，本申请实施例涉及的网络设备可以是全球移动通信***(global system for mobile communications，GSM)或码分多址接入(code division multiple access，CDMA)中的网络设备(base transceiver station，BTS)，也可以是带宽码分多址接入(wide-band code division multiple access，WCDMA)中的网络设备(NodeB)，还可以是长期演进(long term evolution，LTE)***中的演进型网络设备(evolutional node B，eNB或e-NodeB)、5G网络架构(next generation system)中的5G基站，也可是家庭演进基站(home evolved node B，HeNB)、中继节点(relay node)、家庭基站(femto)、微微基站(pico)等，本申请实施例中并不限定。
下面结合说明书附图对本申请各个实施例进行详细描述。需要说明的是，本申请实施例的展示顺序仅代表实施例的先后顺序，并不代表实施例所提供的技术方案的优劣。
本申请实施例提供的技术方案，适用的***包括但不限于NR***、LTE***、6G***，以及它们演进版本的***等。
本申请实施例提出了UE在小区发生波束失败后的信号发送方法，可以使得UE使用更好的上行发送波束发送PUCCH，且UE和网络侧关于上行信号的发送波束有着相同的共识，从而使得基站可以使用最优的接收波束进行上行信号的接收，保证了上行传输的性能。
关于小区的波束失败，一种判断方法为：UE测量对应于该小区的下行波束的质量，如果每个下行波束的质量都低于预设条件，则UE认为发生了波束失败事件。所述下行波束可以是基站配置的，或者预定义的。例如，所述下行波束为该小区的所有下行控制信道的波束。再例如，所述下行波束为基站 为终端配置的用来进行波束失败监测的参考信号对应的下行波束。
UE判断一个下行波束的质量是否低于预设条件的一些可能的方式有：UE测量使用该下行波束的参考信号的接收强度，判断其是否大于一定阈值，如果小于一定阈值，则认为该下行波束的质量都低于预设条件，该下行波束发生失败；UE测量使用该下行波束的参考信号的性能，并映射至下行控制信道PDCCH信号的译码错误概率BLER(Block Error Ratio)，如果BLER的值高于设定阈值(例如，BLER＝10％)，则认为该下行波束的质量都低于预设条件，该波束失败等。
UE判断一个小区发生波束失败后，可以上报该小区的波束失败事件。
UE上报小区的波束失败事件的同时或之后，还可以上报UE认为可以进行正常通信的新波束(例如质量高于一定预设条件的波束)。新波束的上报可以以指示参考信号的形式上报。UE上报波束失败事件和新波束的过程可以认为是发送波束失败恢复请求的过程。
一种UE发送小区的波束失败恢复请求的过程为：
UE通过基站配置的用于波束失败恢复的物理随机接入信道PRACH(Physical Random Access Channel)上报波束失败事件和/或新波束。新波束与PRACH可以有预先定义的一一对应关系。基站接收到PRACH后，可以确定UE发生了波束失败事件，和/或确定出新波束。
一种关于小区波束失败恢复请求的发送过程如下：
步骤1：UE通过PUCCH上报波束失败事件；
步骤2：UE通过MAC-CE上报发生波束失败的小区的标识和/或新波束信息(如果存在新波束上报，才上报新波束信息)
其中，步骤1中的PUCCH是用来发送波束失败事件的PUCCH，可以是通过专门配置给BFR的类似于发送SR的PUCCH资源发送，为了便于描述，本申请实施例中将用来发送波束失败事件的PUCCH称为PUCCH-BFR，将PUCCH资源称为PUCCH-BFR资源；步骤2中的信息可以通过PUSCH上报。
可选地，发生波束失败的小区的标识以发生波束失败的成员载波CC的序 号index/indices的方式上报。
本申请的部分实施例包含且不限于上述UE发送小区波束失败恢复请求的方式。
在标准中，关于本发明实施例可能会有如下英文描述：
