  • This application relates to the field of communication technology, and in particular to signal transmission methods and devices.
  • the current working state of the terminal (User Equipment, UE) is divided into three types: idle state (RRC_IDLE), inactive state (RRC_Inactive) and connected state (RRC_Connected).

  • PDCCH physical downlink control channels

  • the UE In the RRC_Connected state, the UE needs to continuously monitor the downlink control channel PDCCH (such as C-RNTI scrambling) to learn the transmission information of the downlink PDSCH.
  • PDCCH such as C-RNTI scrambling
  • the packet-based data flow is usually bursty. There is data transmission for a period of time, but there is no data transmission for a long period of time. Continuous monitoring of the PDCCH will inevitably lead to rapid power consumption of the UE. Therefore, when there is no data transmission, the power consumption can be reduced by stopping receiving the PDCCH (the blind PDCCH detection will be stopped at this time). Therefore, the design of the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3rd Generation Partnership Project, 3GPP) is designed to save power through the Discontinuous Reception (DRX) mechanism, as shown in Figure 1.

  • NR Rel-16 introduces a group common PDCCH as an energy-saving signal before the DRX activation period (DRX ON).
  • the PDCCH is transmitted in the DRX OFF and uses the energy-saving wireless network temporary identification (Power saving RNTI, PS-RNTI) With scrambling, only when the energy-saving signal carries the UE wake-up indication, the UE will wake up the receiver in the subsequent DRX cycle, otherwise the Rel-16 UE will continue to sleep.

信号传输方法及装置
相关申请的交叉引用
本申请要求在2020年02月07日提交中国专利局、申请号为202010082642.6、申请名称为“信号传输方法及装置”的中国专利申请的优先权，其全部内容通过引用结合在本申请中。
技术领域
本申请涉及通信技术领域，尤其涉及信号传输方法及装置。
背景技术
5G新的无线(New Radio，NR)***中，目前终端(User Equipment，UE)的工作状态分为三种：空闲态(RRC_IDLE)、非激活态(RRC_Inactive)和连接态(RRC_Connected)。只有处于RRC_Connected的UE才允许检测例如小区无线网络临时标识(Cell-Radio Network Temporary Identifier，C-RNTI)加扰的物理下行控制信道(Physical Downlink Control Channel，PDCCH)。鉴于NR终端在RRC_Connected状态(mode)的功耗对***功耗具有决定影响，故NR版本16(Rel-16)对连接态的UE节能(power saving)进行了标准化。在RRC_Connected状态，UE需要持续的监听下行控制信道PDCCH(如C-RNTI加扰)，以获知下行PDSCH的发送信息。而基于包的数据流通常是突发性的，在一段时间内有数据传输，但在接下来的一段较长时间内没有数据传输，持续的监听PDCCH必然导致UE的快速耗电。故在没有数据传输的时候，可以通过停止接收PDCCH(此时会停止PDCCH盲检)来降低功耗。因此第三代合作伙伴计划(3rd Generation Partnership Project，3GPP)的设计是通过非连续接收(Discontinuous Reception，DRX)机制达到省电目的，如图1所示。在DRX周期内，UE只在接收打开周期(On duration)内监测PDCCH，在非连续接收时间(Opportunity for DRX)即DRX去激活周期(DRX OFF)时间 内，UE不接收PDCCH，以减少功耗，即进入睡眠状态。
NR Rel-16在DRX激活周期(DRX ON)之前引入基于组公共(group common)PDCCH作为节能信号，该PDCCH在DRX OFF内传输，且以节能无线网络临时标识(Power saving RNTI，PS-RNTI)加扰，只有节能信号中携带UE唤醒指示，UE才会在其后的DRX周期内唤醒接收机，否则Rel-16的UE将继续睡眠。
对于RRC_IDLE或RRC_Inactive的UE，基站不知道UE驻留在哪个基站，如果对于跟踪区(Tracking Area，TA)/基于无线接入网(RAN，Radio Access Network)的通知区域(RAN-based Notification Area，RNA)内的终端(UEs)，基站或者核心网会触发寻呼(paging)信号唤醒UEs进入RRC_Connected状态(mode)接收数据，或者去接收SI-RNTI(System information-RNTI)加扰的***信息更新。
目前3GPP还没有针对NR***RRC_IDLE或RRC_Inactive mode的UE如何传输参考信号(reference signal，RS)的解决方案。

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。
对于NR***来说，RRC_IDLE或RRC_Inactive mode节电与接收鲁棒性优化也很重要，例如，对于低复杂度的NR终端、智能穿戴设备或者传感器设备，主要工作在RRC_IDLE或RRC_Inactive mode下，且对节电具有比普通NR终端具有更严格的要求。对于长时间工作在RRC_IDLE或RRC_Inactive mode的UEs，UE会接收paging或者***信息。UE为了实现正常接收，需要进行小区搜索过程，接收同步信号块(Synchronization Signal Block，SSB)，与***信息，驻留在某小区，为了满足接收质量要求，在某些情况下，如激活时间(Active Time)下，基站还为UE配置各种参考信号(Reference Signal，RS)，所述RS可以包括用于信道跟踪的信道状态信息参考信号(CSI-RS)(NR标准中至少包括用于跟踪的CSI-RS信号(CSI-RS for tracking)和/或相位跟踪参考信号(Phase-tracking reference signal，PT-RS))、用于移动性测量的CSI-RS(NR中称为CSI-RS for mobility)、用于信道测量上报的CSI-RS。对于处于RRC_IDLE或RRC_Inactive mode的UE，基站不清楚UE驻留在哪个小 区，无法为UE配置上述RS；对于处于连接态(RRC-connected)的UE在配置了非连续接收(Discontinuous Reception，DRX)时，NR标准规定UE只有在Active Time即激活周期(DRX ON cycle)内才能够对CSI-RS for mobility进行测量；用于CSI测量上报的CSI-RS，NR标准规定最新的CSI-RS测量机会必须在Active Time内，且在DRX OFF内不允许上报CSI测量结果；CSI for tracking即追踪参考信号(Tracking Refernece Signal，TRS)在DRX OFF内是否被接收取决于UE实现，基站可以为UE配置周期的TRS，在DRX OFF周期内，基站可能还会发送该TRS，UE是否接收该TRS用于精同步取决于UE自己的实现算法。对于RRC_IDLE或RRC_Inactive mode的UE基站无法通过信令通知UE，用于信道跟踪与移动性测量及其CSI报告(report)的RS，UE无法利用上述RS提高***性能降低功耗。

其中，所述预定的多个小区(或基站)，可以根据实际需要而定，本申请实施例不进行限制。
可选地，基站通过无线资源控制(Radio Resource Control，RRC)信令或者媒体接入控制单元(MAC CE)或者物理层显式信令，通知终端是否为处于RRC_IDLE或RRC_Inactive mode的终端配置RS传输资源。
如果RRC信令或者媒体接入控制单元(MAC CE)或者物理层显式信令没有为处于RRC_IDLE或RRC_Inactive mode的终端配置RS传输资源，则采用默认处理方式，例如，不允许UE在配置资源上接收RS或允许UE在配置资源上接收RS。
终端根据基站配置的RS传输资源，按需在RRC_IDLE或RRC_Inactive mode下进行RS接收。
可选地，基站与终端通过预设规则定义RS的实际发送机会，UE只在满足预设规则的RS的发送机会上接收RS信号，基站只在满足预设规则的RS发送机会上发送RS信号。
所述的预设规则，可以根据实际需要而定，本申请实施例不进行限制。
距离RRC_IDLE或RRC_Inactive mode内发送的信号/信道预设距离内没有SSB，则基站在RS的预设资源上发送该RS信号。例如，SSB内包含PSS/SSS可以用于同步，假设RS传输资源在idle内要发送的信号之前的固定正交频分复用(Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing，OFDM)符号上，若SSB恰好距离该传输信号paging为2个OFDM符号，再增加一额外的RS没有太大意义，也可能与SSB发生碰撞，所以可以在资源上不发送RS；当然，为标准化简单，也可就在距离paging时域固定距离的位置发送RS，不用考虑是否存在SSB。
可选地，基站为处于连接态的UE配置在idle态可以接收RS的传输资源， 为UE在连接态可以接收的RS资源。
可选地，网络侧，例如基站，为UE配置RRC信令，该RRC信令在终端处于idle和/或inactive mode下生效，该RRC信令功能用于配置UE在RRC_IDLE或RRC_Inactive mode下的RS传输相关的配置信息，该配置信息例如可以包含资源配置信息和/或是否为UE在RRC_IDLE或RRC_Inactive mode下配置了RS传输资源。
可选地，基站为连接态UE配置的在idle态可以接收RS的传输资源，例如包括如下步骤之一或组合：
步骤一、UE在连接态下向基站发送RS传输资源请求信息，该RS传输资源为RRC_IDLE或RRC_Inactive态下的UE需要接收RS的传输资源；
步骤二、基站配置UE是否在RRC_IDLE或RRC_Inactive态下接收RS；如果基站配置了UE需要或者可以在RRC_IDLE或RRC_Inactive态下接收RS或者基站为UE配置了RS传输资源，UE在当前驻留小区接收基站在配置的RS传输资源发送的RS；如果基站没有为UE配置RRC_IDLE或RRC_Inactive态下RS的传输资源，则UE不接收该基站发送的RS。
步骤三、如果UE在RRC_IDLE或RRC_Inactive态下移出当前小区，驻留在新的小区，UE重新进入连接态，发送RS传输资源请求信息。然后，执行与上述步骤二相同的步骤即可。
可选地，基站通过高层信令或者物理层信令配置UE在RRC_IDLE或RRC_Inactive态下的生效周期、或者非周期的RS传输资源。目前标准所配置的RRC信令虽然是基站通知UE的但都是RRC-connected下生效的，一旦UE进入RRC-idle/inactive mode原来在RRC-connected下配置的信令其内容不能应用于RRC-idle/inactive mode，因为基站不知道UE没有业务处于idle态时在哪里，既然不知道UE的归属，原小区配置的RRC信令配置的资源不能用于空闲模式功能(idle mode)；如果希望RRC配置的RS资源可以用与idle mode就需要配置专用信令可以用于idle mode或者既可以用于idle也可以用于RRC-connected mode。所谓生效周期，就是前面所述RRC-connected下配 置在idle态可以生效的意思。一般来说只是传输机会是周期的，而实际传输是非周期的，例如针对UE的paging有时只在少数寻呼时刻(paging occasion)上存在，仅在实际发送paging的paging occasion前发送RS。
可选地，基站根据预设规则确定RS的发送机会(时频资源)，在满足预设规则的RS发送位置(时频位置)发送RS信号，UE只在存在RS的满足预设规则的传输资源上接收RS信号。
所述预设规则为基站与终端预先约定的方法或RRC信令配置的方式，具体规则可以根据实际需要而定，本申请实施例不进行限制。
所述预设规则例如包括：
当基站在周期发送机会上有信号发送时，发送与该信号对应的参考信号。
UE侧可以先接收对应RS信号，然后尝试接收是否存在RRC-idle/inactive态内发送的信号/信道；
或者，如果RS信号被检测到，触发后续执行RRC-idle/inactive态内的信号/信道检测，否则UE放弃后续的与所述传输资源相关联的RRC-idle/inactive态内的信号/信道检测。
对处于RRC_IDLE或RRC_Inactive mode的终端的RS传输资源，例如可以为非周期的信号/信道配置的RS资源，该RS传输资源可以按照预定方式与RRC_IDLE或RRC_Inactive mode的终端传输的信号/信道的资源相关联。
基站可以与终端在RRC_IDLE或RRC_Inactive态内需要接收的一个或者多个信号/信道之前的一个预定的时间窗口内接收RS信号，在窗口之外的RS发送机会或者资源上，UE不希望接收RS；
在RS传输资源之后，与接收信号/信道之间若存在SSB，则UE可以不希望在RS发送机会上接收RS，事实上在UE不希望接收RS信号的资源上，基站可以不用发送RS信号，从而降低开销。
信道跟踪(tracking)功能的RS信号如果被检测到，才会触发后续执行RRC_IDLE或RRC_Inactive态内的信号/信道检测，否则UE放弃后续的该RS传输资源相关联的RRC_IDLE或RRC_Inactive态内的信号/信道检测机会。
可选地，基站通过预先约定方式或者半静态信令(例如专用的RRC信令)或动态信令(如MAC CE)，为终端配置在RRC idle或inactive mode下的参考信号的传输资源。
该传输资源，例如可以位于包含控制资源集合(Control Resource Set，CORESET)#0，和/或，初始带宽部分(initial BWP，initial Bandwidth Part)的频域资源上；或者，该传输资源位于与CORESET#0和/或initial BWP频率偏差小于预设值的频域资源上。例如：
所述RS的传输资源与CORESET#0和/或initial BWP存在至少一个RE的重合；
该RS的传输资源位于基站在UE处于连接态时为UE配置的专用BWP；
RS传输资源与UE处于idle和/或active mode下的SSB相关联；
RS的传输资源在频率上，在SSB与initial BWP构成的最大频率范围内。
下面介绍几个具体实施例。
实施例1：网络通过静态信令，例如基站与终端标准约定的方法和/或者半静态信令如高层RRC信令和/或动态信令如MAC CE为终端配置单个小区/基站或者多小区/基站内的在RRC_IDLE或RRC_Inactive状态下参考信号的传输资源，该传输资源配置信息较佳的至少可包括用于RS发送的频域资源，还可以包含该RS传输资源与RRC_IDLE或RRC_Inactive mode内发送信号或者信道之间的时间度量值，比如RS传输资源与RRC_IDLE或RRC_Inactive mode内发送信号/信道间的时间偏置值。例如基站或者网络为UE配置高层信令，该高层信令在RRC-idle或者inactive或者RRC-connected的DRX OFF周期内有效，或者该信令的适用范围为RRC-idle或者inactive或者RRC-connected的DRX OFF周期。该资源上发送的RS信号可以用于信道跟踪、链路维持、或者CSI测量、beam管理等功能，甚至用于RRM测量。现有技术不支持UE在RRC_IDLE或RRC_Inactive状态或者RRC-connected状态下的DRX OFF duration即非激活期内的发送与接收。更具体的，如基站可以通过RRC信令或者标准预先约定的方式，或者MAC CE为处于RRC-connected mode即连接 态的UE配置一个小区或者多个小区的参考信号传输资源，由于处于RRC_IDLE或RRC_Inactive状态的UE随着位置的移动，会切换到其他小区，而基站侧不清楚UE当前的位置，因此在连接态为UE配置的参考信号的传输资源，较佳的包含至少一个小区或者小区组内的传输资源，例如可以考虑将预定的多个小区/基站，如idle态对应的TA(Tacking Area)或者Inactive态对应的RNA(RAN-based Notification Area)内的多个小区/基站分成多个组，每个小区/基站组配置相同的参考信号传输资源，特殊情况，上述预定义的多个小区/基站只分一个组，即预订范围内的多个小区/基站都配置相同的参考信号传输资源。考虑到RRC_IDLE或RRC_Inactive mode时，基站不清楚UE位置，较佳的预订区域的多个基站同时在为RRC_IDLE或RRC_Inactive mode发送的参考信号配置的资源上发送参考信号。该参考信号至少用于信道跟踪、链路维持、或者CSI测量、beam管理，RRM测量等功能的一种。考虑到，UE可能会移出预定的多小区，为了降低开销，较佳的网络不在预定的多小区外的其他小区上在所配置的所述RS资源上发送上述参考信号。
基站在RRC_IDLE或RRC_Inactive mode内配置RS传输资源，例如基站可以在RRC_IDLE或RRC_Inactive mode下传输RRC信令配置RS传输资源配置信息，例如基站通过CORESET#0或search space#0承载的PDCCH调度RS传输资源配置信息，PDCCH可以采用SI-RNTI(System Information RNTI)加扰，或者采用新的RNTI加扰，如新配置一个RS-RNTI(Reference signal RNTI)加扰。当调度RS资源配置信息的PDCCH采用SI-RNTI加扰时，实际上该RRM信令是通过***信息如SIB1的资源传输的，虽然该RS配置资源信息不是***信息但是可以借助***信息资源传输该RS资源配置信息。当调度RS资源配置信息的PDCCH采用新的RNTI加扰时，DCI格式可以重用DCI format0_0/1_0。
上述用于RRC idle或inactive mode的方法，同样适用于RRC-connected mode的DRX OFF duration。
实施例2：基站或者网络通过显式信令或者隐式信令在连接态配置终端是 否需要在RRC_IDLE或RRC_Inactive mode下接收根据RRC信令配置的RS或者是否为UE配置了RRC_IDLE或RRC_Inactive mode下的RS传输资源。例如基站通过RRC信令或者MAC CE或者物理层显式信令通知终端是否在为RRC_IDLE或RRC_Inactive mode配置的RS传输资源，如果该信令没有配置，则采用默认状态，较佳的默认状态为不允许UE在配置资源上接收对应RS/允许UE在配置资源上接收对应RS。
更具体的基站可以预先为终端配置RS资源，该资源用于RRC_IDLE或RRC_Inactive mode下RS发送。基站如果配置了允许UE在对应资源上接收RS，例如通过1比特指示，或配置一个高层信令，也不排除其他方式。当UE可能处于小区中心或者信道条件较好，或者刚刚接收完SSB并不需要接收额外的RS，但随着UE的移动，UE进入小区边沿，由终端根据自己的实际需求在RRC_IDLE或RRC_Inactive mode下进行RS接收，以满足实际需求如信道tracking或者RRM测量，CSI测量等。另外一种方式基站与终端通过预设规则，预先约定RS的实际发送机会，比如在距离RRC_IDLE或RRC_Inactive mode内发送的信号/信道预设距离内没有SSB，则在基站在RS的预设资源上发送该RS信号，RS信号的发送频域资源及其时域相对于RRC_IDLE或RRC_Inactive mode内发送的信号/信道的发送偏置offset较佳的由高层信令通知或者预先约定，offset较佳的大于等于0，不排除小于0，而UE在所述RS对应资源上接收该RS信号。否则，终端在不满足预设规则的RS发送机会上不希望接收对应的RS信号。
上述RS传输资源也有可能是基站为UE配置的周期性RS资源，例如一种情况，该RS资源是基站为UE在连接态配置且在连接态可以使用，此时基站在连接态采用的RS资源，可以按照基站指示部分或者全部继续应用于RRC_IDLE或RRC_Inactive mode，需要基站在RRC_IDLE或RRC_Inactive mode在指定RS资源上继续发送RS，UE在RRC_IDLE或RRC_Inactive mode在对应RS资源上根据需要继续接收RS信号，而现有技术在RRC-connected配置的RS在RRC_IDLE或RRC_Inactive mode内是无效的，基站不发，UE 也不会接收；另外一种情况，该RS资源可能为一组UE配置，比如可用于连接态，即使当前UE处于RRC_IDLE或RRC_Inactive mode，但是配置了该RS资源的其他UE很有可能还处于RRC-connected mode，所以在当前UE处于RRC_IDLE或RRC_Inactive mode时，基站还可能继续在所配置的RS资源上发送RS信号。较佳的如果基站配置UE可以在RRC_IDLE或RRC_Inactive mode下接收根据RRC信令配置的RS资源，即可继续利用该RS资源，则UE根据需要在RRC_IDLE或RRC_Inactive mode内接收对应RS资源的RS，如在接收数据或者控制信令前继续接收该RS，或者在RRM测量时继续接收该RS，或者如前面所述的其他用途。
基站或者网络较佳的可为UE配置一个专用RRC信令，该RRC信令特征在于：该RRC信令在idle和/或inactive mode下生效，功能为配置UE在RRC_IDLE或RRC_Inactive mode下的RS发送相关的配置信息，该配置信息例如可以包含资源配置信息和/或是否为UE在RRC_IDLE或RRC_Inactive mode下配置了RS资源。该RS的功能与前述相同，在此不再赘述。上述在RRC_IDLE或RRC_Inactive mode下的生效的RRC配置信令可以隐式通知UE在对应资源上接收对应的RS。
实施例3：
基站或者基站组通过RRC信令为UE配置RRC_IDLE或RRC_Inactive态下参考信号的传输资源时，考虑到多个小区/基站同时在RRC_IDLE或RRC_Inactive态发送参考信号在实际中会占用较多资源，一种较佳的实现方式基站通过前述的高层信令为终端配置的在RRC_IDLE或RRC_Inactive态下RS的传输资源配置信息，UE在当前小区根据基站的配置在RRC_IDLE或RRC_Inactive态下接收对应的RS信号，较佳的所述方法可支持仅在一个基站向UE发送RS信号。其过程如下：
步骤一、UE在连接态下向基站发送RS传输资源请求信息，该RS资源为RRC_IDLE或RRC_Inactive态下UE需要接收RS的资源；
步骤二、基站配置UE是否在RRC_IDLE或RRC_Inactive态下接收对应 RS；如果基站配置了UE需要或者可以在RRC_IDLE或RRC_Inactive态下接收对应RS或者基站为UE配置了RS传输资源，UE在当前驻留小区接收基站在对应资源配置的RS；如果基站没有为UE配置对应的RRC_IDLE或RRC_Inactive态下RS的传输资源，UE不接收对应RS。
如果UE在RRC_IDLE或RRC_Inactive态下移出当前小区，驻留在新的小区，UE重新进入连接态，发送RS资源请求信息。然后继续执行上述步骤二。
实施例4：
基站通过高层信令或者物理层信令配置UE在RRC_IDLE或RRC_Inactive态下生效的周期、或者非周期的RS传输资源。例如，基站在连接态时利用RRC信令为UE配置在RRC_IDLE或RRC_Inactive mode下生效的周期RS发送机会；或者基站与终端利用预先约定的方式配置部分RS发送配置信息，利用RRC信令配置另外一部分RS发送配置信息；或者利用RRC信令配置一部分RS发送配置信息，利用MAC CE动态配置另外一部分的RS传输资源配置信息。上述RS传输资源在UE处于RRC_IDLE或RRC_Inactive态时生效。
事实上，基站在为终端配置的用于RRC_IDLE或RRC_Inactive mode的RS资源上，在预定的一个或者多个小区同时发送RS信号，会导致较大的***开销，而且容易构成始终开启(always on)信号。较佳的基站根据预设规则确定RS的发送机会，在满足要求的RS发送位置发送RS信号，UE只在存在RS的对应传输资源上接收RS信号。所述预设规则，例如可以是RS信号的发送机会可以与RRC_IDLE或RRC_Inactive mode内发送的信号/信道相关联，比如较佳的RS的时域发送机会总是位于***信息之前的约定位置或者与***信息的发送位置存在部分重合，由于SSB所携带的MIB(Master information block)以外的其他***信息只有接收到paging中***消息改编后才会被接收，所以***信息不是always on信号，从而与之关联的RS也不是always on信号；又比如对于物理随机接入信道(Physical Random Access  Channel，PRACH)过程中的信息(message)2/message 4并不是always on信号，如果RS发送机会与其关联，同样也可以避免RS信号为always on信号，且能有效提高***性能。所以一种较简单的方法，对RRC_IDLE或RRC_Inactive mode内传输机会为非周期的信号/信道配置对应的RS资源，该RS的发送机会按照预定方式与RRC_IDLE或RRC_Inactive mode内传输的信号/信道的机会相关联。
RRC_IDLE或RRC_Inactive mode内传输的信号其传输机会往往是周期的，如paging信号的接收机会在RRC_IDLE或RRC_Inactive mode是周期的，又如用于唤醒UE接收paging的节能信号，由于paging的检测机会是周期的，所以节能信号的检测机会也是周期的或者用于RMM测量的信号也往往是周期信号。对于此类发送机会为周期的信号/信道，如果为每个发送机会都配置RS信号必然导致always on信号。类似于传输机会是非周期的场景，发送机会为周期的信号/信道(如paging信号或者与paging信号对应的节能信号)对应的RS传输资源也可与RRC_IDLE或RRC_Inactive态内UE周期接收的信号/信道相关联，以paging为例，基站可以利用基站或者终端约定的方法或者RRC信令配置的方法，在paging发送的寻呼帧(paging Frame，PF)或者寻呼机会(paging occasion，PO)相关联的位置上配置发送RS信号的传输资源，更具体的如每个PF或者几个PF存在一个公共的RS信号传输资源。所以一个RS资源可以关联一个或者多个UE在RRC_IDLE或RRC_Inactive态内的信号/信道的发送机会，以做到尽可能的降低RS开销。在RRC_IDLE或RRC_Inactive态，UE对应的周期性信号/信道的接收机会与RS资源的关联性即RS的具体时频位置可根据预定规则确定，例如可以利用前述的基站与终端预先标准约定的方法或RRC信令配置的方式，或者MAC CE信令配置，更具体的如基站可以为终端在RRC_IDLE或RRC_Inactive态内需要接收的一个或者多个信号/信道之前的一个预定的时间窗口内配置RS信号，在窗口之外的RS发送机会或者资源上，UE不希望接收对应RS；又比另外一种方法，如在RS资源发送机会之后与接收信号/信道之间若存在SSB则UE可以不希望在对 应RS发送机会上接收RS，事实上UE不希望接收RS信号的资源上，基站可以不用发送该RS信号，从而降低开销。总之，RRC_IDLE或RRC_Inactive态内发送机会为周期的信号/信道，对应的RS传输资源由高层信令配置，其发送机会与RRC_IDLE或RRC_Inactive态内UE需要周期接收的信号/信道相关联。较佳的基站在周期发送机会上有前述信号/信道发送时，才会发送该RS信号。UE侧可以先接收对应RS信号，然后尝试接收是否存在RRC_IDLE或RRC_Inactive态内发送的信号/信道；进一步，另外一种处理方法：较佳的UE侧，如果与RRC_IDLE或RRC_Inactive mode下具有信道tracking功能的RS信号如果被检测到，才会触发后续执行RRC_IDLE或RRC_Inactive态内的信号/信道如paging检测，或者节能信号检测，否则UE放弃后续的该RS资源相关联的RRC_IDLE或RRC_Inactive态内的信号/信道如paging检测机会。
如上所述，发送机会是周期的信号/信道(如paging信号或者paging信号对应的节能信号)，以paging为例，如果每个RS传输资源对应的paging发送机会上都存在paging发送，则RS资源就是周期的；如果存在某些RS资源的对应的paging发送机会上没有paging发送，基站可以不在这些RS传输资源上发送RS，如此一来，RS的实际传输资源就是非周期的。基站为终端配置周期的RS发送机会，只有满足预设规则，基站才会真正在这些发送机会上按照高层信令配置的RS传输资源发送临时的RS信号，较佳的该RS信号可以是UE专属的(UE specific)或者可以对一组UE适用即UE专属组(group specific)，也可以对小区内的所有UE都适用,即小区专属的(cell specific)。
当基站为UE在RRC_IDLE或RRC_Inactive态内的信号/信道配置了对应的RS资源时，该RS资源除了可以用于信道跟踪、RMM测量、等功能还可以用于触发接收机进行UE在RRC_IDLE或RRC_Inactive态内的信号/信道(如paging,***信息,或者PRACH过程中的message 2或者message 4等)的检测。
实施例5：基站通过预先约定方式或者半静态信令如RRC信令或动态信令如MAC CE为终端配置在RRC idle或inactive mode下的参考信号的传输资源，较佳的位于包含CORESET#0(Control Resource Set)/initial BWP (Bandwidth Part)的频域资源上，或者与CORESET#0/initial BWP频率偏差小于预设值的频域资源上。
对于RRC_IDLE或RRC_Inactive mode的UE，如果没有高层信令配置initial BWP，则initial BWP范围：起点为CORESET#0的最低index的PRB，终点是CORESET#0的最高index的PRB。如果高层信令配置了initial BWP，则initial BWP必须包含CORESET#0，所以较佳的基站将RS的传输资源配置在CORESET#0/initial BWP上，该方法实现起来最简单。
基站为RRC idle或inactive mode下配置的RS传输资源，除了可以配置在CORESET#0/initial BWP上，较佳的也可以配置在非CORESET#0/initial BWP资源上，例如所述RS资源的最低/最高频点距离CORESET#0/initial BWP中心频点，或最低/最高频点的偏差小于预设值的频域资源上。这是因为，RRC_IDLE或RRC_Inactive态的UE可以利用其他UE如在连接态配置的RS资源如周期性RS资源配置给多个UE的场景，由于UE在连接态可以配置多达4个专用BWP，不同UE间配置的BWP不一定能够对齐，而且UE specific BWP与initial BWP往往不会完全重合，所以RS资源在频域上会偏离UE的initial BWP，但是为了避免UE在RRC idle或inactive mode下工作在大带宽下，较佳的可以将为该UE配置的RS资源限制在前面所述的某预设的频率offset以内，这样有助于UE在RRC idle或inactive mode下只接收窄带信号，利于UE节能。所述频率偏差的预设值较佳的由基站通过信令配置，如RRC信令/MAC CE/PDCCH；也可以通过约定的方法由标准预先定义；当然也不排除标准根据UE能力定义多个offset的候选值，基站利用信令为终端配置具体采用那个值。
在上述RS资源不包含在CORESET#0/initial BWP资源内时，除了上面所述与CORESET#0/initial BWP频域位置相比不超过预设值外，还可以采用其他方法例如，方法一：所述RS的传输资源必须与CORESET#0/initial BWP存在至少一个RE的重合，这样可以保证RS的传输资源距离CORESET#0/initial BWP不会相差较大，从而利用UE功耗降低；方法二，该RS的传输资源位 于基站在连接态时为UE配置的某专用BWP上，例如default BWP，如此以来基站在连接态为UE配置的RS资源，在RRC idle或inactive mode时便可以直接接收。该方法优点在于配置简单、灵活，缺陷在于UE侧接收时，可能存在BWP切换的可能，导致复杂度与功耗增加。方法三，RS传输资源与idle/active mode下SSB相关联，例如频率资源是SSB频率资源的函数：比如与SSB中心频点与RS传输资源的中心频点或者最低或者最高频点相关联；或者RS传输资源的最低频点距离SSB的最高频点为某预设值；或者RS传输资源的最高频点距离SSB最低频点距离为预设值。方法四：RS的传输资源在频率上在SSB与initial BWP构成的最大频率范围内，因为SSB可以在initial BWP之外且距离initial BWP的距离为确定值，所以较佳的RS频域范围不超过SSB与initial BWP的最大，与最小频点构成的范围，这样可以保证UE以较小带宽接收RS。
上述实施例所述方法是针对RRC idle或inactive mode展开的，但是上述方法同样适用于RRC-connected mode下的DRX OFF周期。
