Description

一种通信方法及装置
相关申请的交叉引用
本申请要求在2020年05月09日提交中国专利局、申请号为202010386538.6、申请名称为“一种通信方法及装置”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
本申请实施例涉及通信技术领域，尤其涉及一种通信方法及装置。
背景技术
当网络设备需要向处于空闲态或非激活态的终端设备发送下行数据时，网络设备会向终端设备发送寻呼(paging)消息以寻呼终端设备。处于空闲态或非激活态的终端设备收到Paging消息后，可能会发起无线资源控制(radio resource control，RRC)连接建立流程以便接收呼叫。
在新空口(new radio，NR)技术中，寻呼消息承载在初始下行带宽部分(initial downlink bandwidth part，initial downlink BWP)对应资源上。
而目前除了一些具有正常功能的第一终端设备之外，还存在一些能力受限的终端设备，例如NR轻量(light)终端设备，或者能力降低(redced capability，REDCAP)类终端设备。对于NR light终端设备来说，带宽可能受限，终端设备的工作带宽可能小于initial downlink BWP。从而网络设备在initial downlink BWP的资源上发送寻呼消息，对于一些NR light终端设备来说可能会无法监听到寻呼消息，进而影响后续的下行数据传输。
发明内容
本申请实施例提供一种通信方法及装置，能够有效避免能力受限终端设备监听不到寻呼消息影响下行数据传输的问题。
第一方面，本申请实施例提供一种通信方法，该通信方法可由第一通信装置执行，第一通信装置可以是通信设备或能够支持通信设备实现该方法所需的功能的通信装置，例如电路或者电子装置。示例性地，所述第一通信装置为终端设备，或者为设置在终端设备中的用于实现终端设备的功能的电路或者电子装置，或者为用于实现终端设备的功能的其他部件。在下文的介绍过程中，以第一通信装置是第一终端设备为例。通信方法包括：第一终端设备接收第一配置信息，第一配置信息包括第一信息，第一信息用于配置寻呼消息(或者***消息)的传输方式，寻呼消息(或者***消息)的传输方式为跳频方式或者非跳频方式；第一终端设备根据第一配置信息所配置的寻呼消息(或者***消息)的传输方式接收寻呼消息(或者***消息)。
本申请实施例中，第一终端设备在接收寻呼消息之前，能够确定采用跳频方式或者非跳频方式接收寻呼消息。由于跳频存在增益，比如可以有2-3dB的增益。如果对于能力受限的终端设备，比如NR light终端设备，网络设备可以采用跳频方式发送寻呼消息(或者 ***消息)，从而终端设备采用跳频的方式接收寻呼消息(或者***消息)，而跳频的增益可以满足带宽受限的终端设备覆盖恢复的需求。对于正常的终端设备来说，终端设备根据第一配置信息确定可以采用非跳频方式接收寻呼消息。
在一种可能的设计中，所述第一信息为指示位，当所述指示位为第一值时，所述第一信息指示寻呼消息的传输方式为跳频方式，或者，当所述指示位为第二值时，所述第一信息指示寻呼消息的传输方式为非跳频方式。比如，指示位为1时，指示寻呼消息的传输方式为跳频方式，从而第一终端设备采用跳频方式接收寻呼消息，指示位为0时，指示寻呼消息的传输方法为非跳频方式，从而第一终端设备采用非跳频方式接收寻呼消息。再比如，当指示位为0时，指示寻呼消息的传输方式为跳频方式，从而第一终端设备采用跳频方式接收寻呼消息，当指示位为1时，指示寻呼消息的传输方法为非跳频方式，从而第一终端设备采用非跳频方式接收寻呼消息。由于指示位占用的资源较少，因此可以减少传输资源的占用。

在一种可能的设计中，第一信息包括用于传输寻呼消息的频域资源的信息。比如，第一信息中包括用于传输寻呼消息的至少两个频域资源的信息，则第一终端设备根据第一配置信息采用跳频方式在该至少两个频域资源上监听寻呼消息。再比如，第一信息中包括用于传输寻呼消息的一个频域资源的信息，则第一终端设备根据第一配置信息采用非跳频方式在该频域资源监听寻呼消息。频域资源的信息至少包括频域资源的位置信息。频域资源的位置信息可以包括频域资源的频点、载波、频带或者带宽中的一项或多项。频域资源可以是BWP，或者是窄带。比如频域资源为BWP，BWP的信息中除所述BWP的位置信息外还可以包括子载波间隔(subcarrier spacing，SCS)标识、控制资源集(coreset)标识或者搜索空间(searchspace)标识中的一项或者多项。

通过上述设计，第一终端设备可以根据需求与网络设备或者核心网设备协商是否采用跳频方式。将自身的采用跳频方式的期望发送给网络设备或者核心网设备。从而网络设备或者核心网设备接收到指示信息后，可以向第一终端设备指示是否采用跳频方式接收寻呼消息，比如向第一终端设备发送第一配置信息。

具体实施方式
以下，对本申请实施例中的部分用语进行解释说明，以便于本领域技术人员理解。
1)本申请实施例中的术语“***”和“网络”可被互换使用。“至少一个”是指一个或者多个，“多个”是指两个或两个以上。“和/或”，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 的情况，其中A,B可以是单数或者复数。字符“/”一般表示前后关联对象是一种“或”的关系。“以下至少一项(个)”或其类似表达，是指的这些项中的任意组合，包括单项(个)或复数项(个)的任意组合。例如，a,b,或c中的至少一项(个)，可以表示：a,b,c,a-b,a-c,b-c,或a-b-c，其中a,b,c可以是单个，也可以是多个。
以及，除非有相反的说明，本申请实施例提及“第一”、“第二”等序数词是用于对多个对象进行区分，不用于限定多个对象的大小、内容、顺序、时序、优先级或者重要程度等。例如，第一频域资源和第二频域资源，只是为了区分不同的资源，而并不是表示这两个资源的大小、优先级或者重要程度等的不同。
2)网络设备，还可以称为接入网(access network，AN)设备，例如基站(例如，接入点)，可以是指接入网中在空口通过一个或多个小区与无线终端设备通信的设备，或者例如，一种车到一切(vehicle-to-everything，V2X)技术中的网络设备为路侧单元(road side unit，RSU)。基站可用于将收到的空中帧与IP分组进行相互转换，作为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IP网络。RSU可以是支持V2X应用的固定基础设施实体，可以与支持V2X应用的其他实体交换消息。网络设备还可协调对空口的属性管理。例如，网络设备可以包括LTE***或高级长期演进(long term evolution-advanced，LTE-A)中的演进型基站(NodeB或eNB或e-NodeB，evolutional Node B)，或者也可以包括第五代移动通信技术(the 5th generation，5G)NR***(也简称为NR***)中的下一代节点B(next generation node B，gNB)或者也可以包括云接入网(cloud radio access network，Cloud RAN)***中的集中式单元(centralized unit，CU)和分布式单元(distributed unit，DU)，本申请实施例并不限定。
本申请实施例中，用于实现网络设备的功能的装置可以是网络设备，也可以是能够支持网络设备实现该功能的装置，例如芯片或者芯片***，该装置可以被安装在网络设备中。在本申请实施例提供的技术方案中，以用于实现网络设备的功能的装置是网络设备为例，描述本申请实施例提供的技术方案。如果没有特殊说明，在本申请实施例中的网络设备是指接入网设备。
3)终端设备，包括向用户提供语音和/或数据连通性的设备，具体的，包括向用户提供语音的设备，或包括向用户提供数据连通性的设备，或包括向用户提供语音和数据连通性的设备。例如可以包括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处理设备。该终端设备可以经无线接入网(radio access network，RAN)与核心网进行通信，与RAN交换语音或数据，或与RAN交互语音和数据。该终端设备可以包括用户设备(user equipment，UE)、无线终端设备、移动终端设备、设备到设备通信(device-to-device，D2D)终端设备、车到一切(vehicle to everything，V2X)终端设备、机器到机器/机器类通信

作为示例而非限定，在本申请实施例中，该终端设备还可以是可穿戴设备。可穿戴设备也可以称为穿戴式智能设备或智能穿戴式设备等，是应用穿戴式技术对日常穿戴进行智能化设计、开发出可以穿戴的设备的总称，如眼镜、手套、手表、服饰及鞋等。可穿戴设备即直接穿在身上，或是整合到用户的衣服或配件的一种便携式设备。可穿戴设备不仅仅是一种硬件设备，更是通过软件支持以及数据交互、云端交互来实现强大的功能。广义穿戴式智能设备包括功能全、尺寸大、可不依赖智能手机实现完整或者部分的功能，例如：智能手表或智能眼镜等，以及只专注于某一类应用功能，需要和其它设备如智能手机配合使用，如各类进行体征监测的智能手环、智能头盔、智能首饰等。
而如上介绍的各种终端设备，如果位于车辆上(例如放置在车辆内或安装在车辆内)，都可以认为是车载终端设备，车载终端设备例如也称为车载单元(on-board unit，OBU)。
本申请实施例中，终端设备还可以包括中继(relay)。或者理解为，能够与基站进行数据通信的都可以看作终端设备。
本申请实施例中，用于实现终端设备的功能的装置可以是终端设备，也可以是能够支持终端设备实现该功能的装置，例如芯片或芯片***，该装置可以被安装在终端设备中。本申请实施例中，芯片***可以由芯片构成，也可以包括芯片和其他分立器件。本申请实施例提供的技术方案中，以用于实现终端的功能的装置是终端设备为例，描述本申请实施例提供的技术方案。
4)本发明实施例还涉及核心网(core network，CN)设备。CN设备在不同的通信***中对应不同的设备，例如，在3G***中对应服务通用分组无线业务(general packet radio service，GPRS)支持节点(serving GPRS support node，SGSN)或网关GPRS支持节点(gateway GPRS support node，GGSN)，在4G***中对应移动管理实体(mobility management entity，MME)或服务网关(serving gateway，S-GW)，在5G***中对应5G***的核心网相关设备(例如NG-Core，AMF(Access and Mobility Management Function，接入移动管理实体),UPF(User Plane Function，用户面功能实体))。
5)带宽部分(bandwidth part，BWP)。
在NR***中，终端设备可能只能工作在一个比较小的工作带宽(如5MHz)，而网络设备的一个小区会支持比较大的带宽(如100MHz)，该大带宽中的小带宽部分则可以认为是BWP。网络设备给终端设备配置一个或多个BWP。并通过激活或去激活BWP的方式更新终端设备可以工作的BWP。
6)同步信号块(synchronous signal block，SSB)。
SSB包括主同步信号(primary synchronous signal，PSS)、辅同步信号(secondary synchronous signal，SSS)和物理广播信道(physical broadcast channel，PBCH)。终端设备选择一个小区需要读取到该小区的特定的SSB，该SSB称为cell-defining SSB(小区定义的SSB)。
7)跳频(frequency hopping)。
跳频是指接收端和发送端双方按照预定规则变换信息传输过程中所使用的频域资源 的一种通信方式，可以获得频率分集增益。在跳频通信中，每个载波的使用频点随着帧的改变而按照某种跳频序列在预先设定的一组频点中进行跳变。跳频通信具有良好的抗干扰能力，即使有部分频点被干扰，仍能在其他未被干扰的频点上进行正常的通信，所以，跳频能够获得一定的覆盖增强增益。
8)寻呼(paging)消息。
寻呼消息的内容主要用于：指示***消息的更新、公共预警和/或终端设备的业务到达。终端设备在空闲(IDLE)或非激活(INACTIVE)态下，通过非连续接收(discontinuous reception，DRX)的方式接收寻呼消息。网络设备针对不同的终端设备发送寻呼消息可以采用不同的时域资源。从而不同终端设备可以在不同的时域资源上监听寻呼消息。时域资源包括寻呼帧(paging frame，PF)或者寻呼时机(paging occasion，PO)。
在NR通信***中，由于引入了波束(beam)的概念，所以，一个PO可能包括多个物理下行控制信道(physical downlink control channel，PDCCH)监控时机(monitoring occasions)，不同的PDCCH monitoring occasion对应于不同的beam，也就是一个承载寻呼消息的PDCCH monitoring occasion在一个beam上发送。终端设备也可以只在自己所在的beam对应的PDCCH monitoring occasion上接收寻呼消息。另外，本申请实施例中提及的时间单元可以为PF、PO或者PDCCH monitoring occasion。
其中，PF和PO的位置信息为可以是终端设备根据终端设备的用户标识计算得到的。本申请实施例中，终端设备的用户标识可以是国际移动签约用户标识(international mobile subscriber identity，IMSI))、***架构演进临时移动台标识(SAE Temporary Mobile Station Identifier，S-TMSI)、小区无线网络临时标识(cell radio network temporary identifier，C-RNTI)等中的一项或多项。NR***中，除了计算PF和PO之外，还需要确定特定beam对应的PDCCH montoring occasion。
网络设备除了将不同的终端设备的寻呼消息分散到不同的时域资源以外，还可以针对不同的终端设备采用不同的频域资源。
一种示例中，将不同的终端设备的寻呼消息分散到不同的窄带上。比如公式(1)所示。
PNB＝floor(UE_ID/(N*Ns))mod Nn    公式(1)
其中，公式(1)中，PNB表示窄带编号；Nn表示小区上可用于发送寻呼消息的窄带的数量；UE_ID表示终端设备的用户标识；N表示min(T，nB)；Ns表示max(1，nB/T)；T表示该终端设备的寻呼周期；nB可以为：4T、2T、T、T/2、T/4、T/8、T/16、T/32、T/64、T/128等，nB可以由网络侧配置或协议约定。
另一种示例中，可以将不同的终端设备的寻呼消息分散到不同的载波上。比如公式(2)所示。
floor(UE_ID/(N*Ns))mod W<W(0)+W(1)+…+W(n)    公式(2)
其中，公式(2)中，n表示满足上述公式(2)的最小的载波编号，0≤n≤Nn-1，W(i)是载波i上的分布权重。Nn表示小区上可用于发送寻呼消息的载波的数量；UE_ID表示终端设备的用户标识；N表示min(T，nB)；Ns表示max(1，nB/T)；T表示终端设备的寻呼周期；nB可以为：4T、2T、T、T/2、T/4、T/8、T/16、T/32、T/64、T/128等，nB可以由网络侧配置或协议约定。
在NR***中，处于空闲(IDLE)态或非激活(INACTIVE)态的终端设备仅在初始 下行带宽部分(initial downlink bandwidth part，initial downlink BWP)上监听寻呼消息。也就是说网络设备在initial downlink BWP上向处于IDLE态或INACTIVE态的终端设备发送寻呼消息。不同的CD-SSD属于不同的频域资源。终端设备可以选择驻留在该CD-SSB对应的小区，并且监听该小区的寻呼消息。
但是目前除了一些具有正常功能的终端设备之外，还存在一些能力受限的终端设备，例如NR轻量(light)终端设备、能力降低(redced capability，REDCAP)类终端设备、增强机器类型通信(enhance machine type communication，eMTC)终端设备或者窄带物联网(narrow band internet of things，NB-IoT)终端设备等。对于这样的终端设备来说，为了降低设备复杂度，需要降低工作带宽和接收天线数，从而导致带宽受限，例如NR light终端设备的工作带宽可能是5M、10M或者20M。NR light终端设备工作带宽可能小于initial downlink BWP。从而网络设备在initial downlink BWP的资源上发送寻呼消息，正常功能的终端设备能够成功接收，而由于带宽受限或者接收天线减少会对一些NR light终端设备产生覆盖损失，导致一些NR light终端设备可能会无法监听到寻呼消息(或者***消息)或者导致监听时延的加长，进而影响后续的下行数据传输。
从上可以看出，带宽受限的终端设备有覆盖恢复(coverage recovery)的需求。申请人发现跳频是存在增益的，比如可以有2-3dB的增益。如果对于带宽受限的终端设备，比如NR light终端设备，采用跳频方式发送寻呼消息(或者***消息)，跳频的增益可以满足带宽受限的终端设备覆盖恢复的需求。但是当前***中，寻呼消息(或者***消息)的发送不支持频域资源的切换，比如BWP的切换，因此针对带宽受限的终端设备，网络设备如何支持采用跳频方式来发送寻呼消息(或者***消息)是需要解决的问题。
基于此，本申请实施例提供一种通信方法及装置，通过网络侧配置寻呼消息(或者***消息)的发送方式，比如跳频方式或者非跳频方式，从而根据配置的寻呼消息(或者***消息)的发送方式来发送寻呼消息(或者***消息)。寻呼消息(或者***消息)的发送方法也可以称为发送寻呼消息(或者***消息)的方式。比如，针对NR light终端设备采用跳频的方式发送寻呼消息(或者***消息)，可以满足终端设备覆盖恢复的需求。
需要说明的是，***消息与寻呼消息发送，存在很多相似性。比如，寻呼消息与***消息均为公共消息，是针对所有或者一组终端设备发送的。所以，如无特别说明，本申请提供的方案也适用于***消息的发送。后续描述时，以寻呼消息为例进行说明。
本申请实施例提供的技术方案可以应用于***移动通信技术(the 4th generation，4G)***中，例如长期演进(long term evolution，LTE)***，或可以应用于5G***中，例如NR***，或者还可以应用于下一代移动通信***或其他类似的通信***，具体的不做限制。
请参见图1，为本申请实施例的一种应用场景。图1包括网络设备、核心网设备、终端设备1。网络设备和终端设备1能够进行通信，例如，网络设备可以向终端设备1发送寻呼消息。终端设备1可以是带宽受限的终端设备，例如NR light终端设备。终端设备1也可以是带宽不受限的终端设备，或者说是普通的终端设备。核心网设备与网络设备可以是独立的不同的物理设备，也可以是将核心网设备的功能与接入网设备的逻辑功能集成在同一个物理设备上，还可以是一个物理设备上集成了部分核心网设备的功能和部分的接入网设备的功能。图1中以网络设备与核心网设备是两个独立的设备为例。图1只是示意图，该通信***中还可以包括其它网络设备，如还可以包括无线中继设备和无线回传设备，在 图1中未画出。本申请的实施例对该移动通信***中包括的核心网设备、网络设备和终端设备的数量不做限定。
下面结合附图介绍本申请实施例提供的方法。
参见图2所示，为本申请实施例提供第一种通信方法的流程示意图。在下文的介绍过程中，以该方法应用于图1所示的网络架构为例。为了便于描述，以该方法由网络设备和第一终端设备执行为例。在由网络设备执行的步骤中，比如可以由网络设备中的芯片或者芯片***来执行，在由终端设备执行的步骤中，比如可以由终端设备中的芯片或者芯片***来执行。下文中所述的网络设备可以是图1所示的网络架构中的网络设备，下文中的第一终端设备可以是图1所示中的终端设备1，下文中的第二终端设备可以是图1所示的终端设备2。
S201，网络设备获取第一配置信息，所述第一配置信息包括第一信息，所述第一信息用于配置寻呼消息的传输方式，所述寻呼消息的传输方式为跳频方式，或者非跳频方式。
本申请实施例中以网络设备向第一终端设备发送寻呼消息为例，因此第一信息用于配置寻呼消息的传输方式也可以描述为用于配置网络设备发送寻呼消息的方式、或者用于配置第一终端设备接收寻呼消息的方式。另外，发送寻呼消息的方式也可以描述为寻呼消息的发送方式，接收寻呼消息的方式也可以描述为寻呼消息的接收方式。
第一配置信息可以由核心网设备确定并配置给网络设备，则网络设备在获取第一配置信息时，具体可以是网络设备接收核心网设备发送的第一配置信息。示例性地，核心网设备可以在向网络设备发送第一终端设备的寻呼消息时，将第一配置信息携带在寻呼消息中发送给网络设备。或者，第一配置信息也可以是网络***中的其它设备，配置给网络设备的。或者第一配置信息也可以是网络设备自主确定的，或者由管理员配置在网络设备中的，再或者第一配置信息可以是协议规定的。
作为一种可能的实施方式，在核心网设备或者网络***中的其它网络设备通过第一信息向网络设备配置寻呼消息的传输方式时，可以采用显示配置的方法或者隐式配置的方式，即第一信息的配置方式可以采用显式配置的方法，也可以采用隐式配置的方式。
一种示例中，以显式配置第一信息为例，第一信息可以为指示位，比如指示位为第一值时，第一信息指示寻呼消息的传输方式为跳频方式，指示位为第二值时，第一信息指示寻呼消息的传输方式为非跳频方式。比如，第一值为1，第二值为0；或者第一值为0，第二值为1。
另一种示例中，以隐式配置第一信息为例。第一信息可以包括用于传输寻呼消息的频域资源的信息。比如第一信息包括用于传输寻呼消息的至少两个频域资源的信息，即为网络设备配置了至少两个频域资源，隐含指示网络设备发送寻呼消息的方式为跳频方式。再比如，第一信息包括用于传输寻呼消息的一个频域资源的信息，隐含指示网络设备发送寻呼消息的方式为非跳频方式。频域资源的信息至少包括频域资源的位置信息。频域资源的位置信息可以包括频域资源的频点、载波、频带或者带宽中的一项或多项。
这里所述的频域资源可以是BWP，还可以是窄带。比如频域资源为BWP。可选地，BWP的信息中除所述BWP的位置信息外还可以包括子载波间隔(subcarrier spacing，SCS)标识、控制资源集(coreset)标识或者搜索空间(searchspace)标识中的一项或者多项。
示例性的，至少两个BWP可以包括初始下行BWP、所述第一终端设备所使用的小区定义同步信号块的频域位置不同的其它CD-SSB对应的控制资源集(cntrol resource set， COREST)#0所在的BWP，或者所述第一终端设备所使用的小区定义同步信号块所在的BWP。所述CORESET，定义用于传输控制信息的资源。在NR***中，终端设备驻留在一个CD-SSB定义的小区中，就在COREST#0定义的资源上监听控制信道从而接收寻呼消息或者***消息等。所以，配置的至少两个BWP可以是包含CORESET#0的BWP，配置的频域位置可以是CORESET#0所在的频域位置。
S202，网络设备根据所述第一配置信息所配置的发送寻呼消息的方式向第一终端设备发送寻呼消息。
比如，第一配置信息所配置的发送寻呼消息的方式为跳频方式，网络设备可以采用跳频方式发送寻呼消息。再比如，第一配置信息所配置的发送寻呼消息的方式为非跳频方式，网络设备可以采用非跳频方式发送寻呼消息。
作为一种可能的实施方式，在核心网设备或者网络***中的其它网络设备采用显示配置的方法向网络设备配置第一信息的情况下，如果配置寻呼消息的传输方式为跳频方式，第一信息还可以包括用于传输寻呼消息的至少两个频域资源的位置信息。在执行S202时，网络设备根据第一信息在所述至少两个频域资源上采用跳频方式发送寻呼消息。以第一频域资源和第二频域资源为例，网络设备在第一时间单元上采用第一频域资源发送寻呼消息，在第二时间单元上采用第二频域资源发送寻呼消息。需要说明的是，核心网设备或者网络***中的其它网络设备还可以将寻呼消息的传输方式以及用于传输寻呼消息的至少两个频域资源的位置信息，分开配置给网络设备，比如通过不同的消息将寻呼消息的传输方式以及用于传输寻呼消息的至少两个频域资源的位置信息配置给网络设备。
上述核心网设备或者网络设备确定第一配置信息的规则，比如是，针对小区中心的终端设备采用非跳频的方式发送，针对小区边缘用户的终端设备采用跳频的方式发送。或者，针对特定终端设备类型采用跳频的方式发送，或者针对特殊业务类型的终端设备采用跳频方式发送等。
作为一种可能的实施方式，第一配置信息包括的第一信息指示采用跳频方式的情况下，第一配置信息中除了包括第一信息外，还可以包括第二信息。第一信息和第二信息可以用于联合指示针对特定类型的终端设备采用跳频方式来发送寻呼消息。比如第二信息包括支持采用跳频方式发送寻呼消息的终端设备的类型信息、或包括终端设备支持的业务的类型信息、或者包括终端设备的类型信息和终端设备支持的业务的类型信息。其中，终端设备的类型信息可以用于确定该终端设备是否是带宽受限的终端设备(即特定类型的终端设备)，也就是说，网络设备根据终端设备的类型信息判断针对哪些终端设备可以采用跳频方式发送寻呼消息。例如，如果第一配置信息包括第一信息和第二信息，指示网络设备针对第二信息指示的终端设备采用跳频方式。而如果第一配置信息不包括第二信息，则指示网络设备可以针对任意类型的终端设备均采用跳频方式发送寻呼消息。其中，终端设备的类型例如包括NR light终端设备类型、eMTC终端设备类型或NB-IoT终端设备类型等，另外在这几种类型中还可以细分，例如NR light终端设备类型中还可以包括模式(type)1终端设备或type2终端设备等。终端设备支持的业务类型例如包括工业传感器网络(industrial wireless sensor networks，IWSN)业务类型、可穿戴类型或监控业务类型等。
在本申请实施例中，是针对第一终端设备来说的，因此第二信息如果包括终端设备的类型信息，则所包括的可以是第一终端设备的类型信息；同理，第二信息如果包括终端设备支持的业务的类型信息，则包括的可以是第一终端设备支持的业务的类型信息。
在本申请实施例中，为了使得第一终端设备能够确定是否采用跳频方式来接收寻呼消息，由网络设备或者核心网设备指示终端设备是否采用跳频方式接收寻呼消息。
一种可能的实现方式中，核心网设备向网络设备发送第一配置信息后，即网络设备从核心网设备接收第一配置信息后，网络设备可以将第一配置信息发送给第一终端设备。
另一种可能的实现方式中，由网络设备确定第一配置信息，并发送给第一终端设备。比如第一配置信息是网络设备自主确定的，或者由管理员配置在网络设备中的，再或者第一配置信息是协议规定的。
网络设备在向第一终端设备发送第一配置信息时，可以通过如下任一种方式来发送：
一种方式中，网络设备可以通过***消息来广播该第一配置信息。网络设备向第一终端设备发送的第一配置信息中包括第一信息。第一信息用于配置寻呼消息的传输方式，可以是隐式配置或者显示配置，具体参见如上描述。
在第一信息采用隐式配置的方式的情况，网络设备向第一终端设备配置的第一配置信息中包括用于接收寻呼消息的至少两个频域资源的位置信息。即为第一终端设备配置了至少两个频域资源，隐含指示第一终端设备接收寻呼消息的方式为跳频方式。再比如，网络设备向第一终端设备配置用于第一终端设备接收寻呼消息的一个频域资源，隐含指示第一终端设备接收寻呼消息的方式为非跳频方式。
网络设备广播的第一配置信息可以是仅针对终端设备组的，或者针对特定类型的终端设备，或者所有的终端设备。比如网络设备广播的第一配置信息是针对终端设备组的，第一配置信息中还可以包括终端设备组标识，终端设备组中包括第一终端设备。在第一信息中包括至少两个频域资源的位置信息的情况下，第一配置信息中还可以包括终端设备组标识，则属于该终端设备组的终端设备可以采用跳频方式接收寻呼消息。再比如，网络设备广播的第一配置信息是针对特定类型的终端设备，第一配置信息中还可以包括终端设备的类型信息和/或终端设备支持的业务的类型。针对终端设备的类型以及业务的类型的说明如前所述，此处不再赘述。在第一信息中包括至少两个频域资源的位置信息的情况下，则满足该类型信息(包括业务的类型和终端设备的类型)的终端设备可以采用跳频方式接收寻呼消息。再比如，网络设备广播的第一配置信息是针对所有的终端设备的，第一配置信息可以包括上述至少两个频域资源的位置信息，不再包括终端设备组标识、终端设备的类型信息和/或终端设备支持的业务的类型。在第一信息中包括至少两个频域资源的位置信息的情况下，则所有的终端设备均可以采用跳频方式接收寻呼消息。
应理解的是，在本申请实施例中，是针对第一终端设备配置第一配置信息来说的，因此第一配置信息如果包括终端设备组标识，则终端设备组中包括第一终端设备。如果第一配置信息包括终端设备支持的业务的类型信息，则包括的可以是第一终端设备支持的业务的类型信息。如果第一配置信息包括终端设备的类型信息，则包括的可以是第一终端设备的类型信息。
在该情况下，第一终端设备接收到第一配置信息后，根据第一配置信息在至少两个频域资源上通过跳频的方式监听寻呼消息。当然，第一终端设备也可以在所述至少两个频域资源中的全部资源或者部分资源监听寻呼消息。
以至少两个频域资源包括第一频域资源和第二频域资源为例，网络设备在第一时间单元上通过第一频域资源发送寻呼消息。网络设备在第二时间单元上通过第二频域资源发送所述寻呼消息。从而第一终端设备在第一时间单元，通过第一频域资源监听寻呼消息，在 第二时间单元通过第二频域资源监听寻呼消息。另外一种可能的方式，第一终端设备不采用跳频方式监听，在第一时间单元通过第一频域资源和第二频域资源监听寻呼消息，在第二时间单元通过第一频域资源和第二频域资源监听寻呼消息。当然，如果在第一频域资源上监听到寻呼消息，第一终端设备可以反馈网络设备，比如触发RRC流程。网络设备确定第一终端设备的反馈后，不再通过在第二时间单元上通过第二频域资源再次发送所述寻呼消息。
需要说明的是，寻呼消息的跳频发送，可以是不同PO之间的寻呼消息的发送，第一时间单元和第二时间单元可以是不同的PO。也可以是同一个PO里面不同PDCCH监听时机(monitoring occasion)之间的发送，则第一时间单元和第二时间单元可以是一个PO里面不同PDCCH监听时机。
比如，NR场景下，引入了beam的概念，一个PO包括多个PDCCH monitoring occasion，一个PDCCH monitoring occasion对应一个beam的寻呼消息发送，不同的PDCCH monitoring occasion对应于不同的beam，也就是一个承载寻呼消息的PDCCH monitoring occasion在一个beam上发送。如果针对一个beam，一个PO中只有一个PDCCH monitoring occasion用于该beam的寻呼消息发送，那么，寻呼消息的跳频发送，可以是在不同PO之间跳频发送寻呼消息。如果针对一个beam，一个PO中包含多个PDCCH monitoring occasion用于该beam的寻呼消息发送。比如NR-U场景下，为了避免由于资源竞争失败或者资源感知失败，造成针对某个beam的PDCCH monitoring occasion无法发送针对该beam的寻呼消息的问题，一个PO里面针对同一个beam，可以包含多个PDCCH monitoring occasion用于发送该beam的寻呼消息。那么，此时，寻呼消息的跳频发送，可以是在同一个PO里面不同PDCCH monitoring occasion之间跳频寻呼消息。当然，即使在一个PO里面针对同一个beam，包含多个PDCCH monitoring occasion用于该beam的寻呼消息的发送，寻呼消息的跳频发送也可以是不同PO之间的寻呼消息的发送。
需要说明的是，关于***消息的跳频发送，与寻呼消息发送存在很多相似之处。上述机制也适合***消息的发送。网络设备可以在不同***消息窗(system information，SI-window)之间跳频发送寻呼消息，即第一时间单元和第二时间单元可以是不同的***消息窗。也可以在同一个信息窗中不同PDCCH监听时机(monitoring occasion)之间跳频发送寻呼消息，则第一时间单元和第二时间单元可以是一个***消息窗中不同PDCCH监听时机。***消息窗也可以称为***消息接收窗或者***消息发送窗，比如针对网络设备，可以称为***消息发送窗，针对终端设备，可以称为***消息接收窗。
比如，NR***中，一个***消息窗中包括多个PDCCH monitoring occasion，一个PDCCH monitoring occasion对应一个beam的寻呼消息发送，不同的PDCCH monitoring occasion对应于不同的beam，也就是一个承载寻呼消息的PDCCH monitoring occasion在一个beam上发送。
在NR***支持多beam，SI-window中可以包含不同的PDCCH monitoring occasion，一个PDCCH monitoring occasion对应一个beam的***消息的发送。那么，***消息的跳频发送，可以是针对不同SI window之间的***消息的发送。同样，在NR-U中，为了避免由于资源竞争失败或者资源感知失败，造成针对某个beam的PDCCH monitoring occasion无法发送针对该beam的***消息的问题，一个SI window里面针对同一个beam，包含多个PDCCH monitoring occasion用于该beam的***消息的发送。在该情况下，网络设备可 以在同一个SI window中不同PDCCH monitoring occasion之间跳频发送***消息。当然，即使在一个SI window中针对同一个beam，包含多个PDCCH monitoring occasion用于该beam的***消息的发送，网络设备也可以是在不同SI window之间跳频发送***消息。所述SI window为***消息发送窗，或者接收窗。
作为一种示例，PDCCH monitoring occasion，可以为控制信道的监听时隙、发送时隙，或者其它的用于发送PDCCH的资源。控制信道，比如可以是机器通信物理下行控制信道(MTC physical downlink control channel，MPDCCH)，窄带物理下行控制信道(narrow physical downlink control channel，NPDCCH)，或者增强物理下行控制信道(enhanced physical downlink control channel，ePDCCH)。
另一种方式中，网络设备可以通过向第一终端设备发送专属消息来发送该第一配置信息。专属消息，比如可以是RRC释放(Release)消息。第一配置信息包括第一信息。
在第一信息采用显示配置的情况下，第一信息中包括指示位。比如指示位为第一值时，则指示第一终端设备采用跳频方式接收寻呼消息。指示位为第二值时，则指示第一终端设备采用非跳频方式接收寻呼消息。比如，第一值为1，第二值为0；或者第一值为0，第二值为1。
一种情况下，在指示第一终端设备采用跳频方式接收寻呼消息的情况下，第一信息中还可以包括为第一终端设备配置的用于跳频接收寻呼消息的至少两个频域资源的信息。
在该情况下，第一终端设备接收到第一配置信息后，在第一配置信息所配置的至少两个频域资源上通过跳频的方式监听寻呼消息。当然，第一终端设备也可以在所述至少两个频域资源中的全部资源或者部分资源监听寻呼消息。
另一种情况下，用于带宽受限的终端设备跳频接收寻呼消息至少频域资源也可以由协议规定的。在指示第一终端设备采用跳频方式接收寻呼消息的情况下，则网络设备不需要再为第一终端设备配置的用于跳频接收寻呼消息的至少两个频域资源的位置信息。
在第一信息采用隐式配置的情况下，第一信息中包括至少一个频域资源的信息。比如，第一信息包括用于传输寻呼消息的至少两个频域资源的信息。即为第一终端设备配置了至少两个频域资源，隐含指示第一终端设备接收寻呼消息的方式为跳频方式。再比如，网络设备向第一终端设备配置用于传输寻呼消息的一个频域资源，隐含指示终端设备接收寻呼消息的方式为非跳频方式。
再一种可能的实现方式中，核心网设备向第一终端设备发送用于配置寻呼消息的发送方式的信息。为了与前述第一配置信息进行区分，此处将核心网设备向第一终端设备配置的寻呼消息的发送方式的配置信息称为第二配置信息。应理解的是，核心网设备向第一终端设备发送第二配置信息，可以是核心网设备通过N1接口消息将第二配置信息发送给网络设备，网络设备向第一终端设备透传该N1接口消息。
第二配置信息中包括第四信息，第四信息用于配置寻呼消息的传输方式。第四信息的配置方式与第一信息的配置方式类似，可以采用隐式配置方式，也可以采用显示配置方式。
一种示例中，以显式配置第四信息为例，第四信息可以包括指示位，比如指示位为第一值时，第四信息指示寻呼消息的传输方式为跳频方式，指示位为第二值时，第四信息指示寻呼消息的传输方式为非跳频方式。比如，第一值为1，第二值为0；或者第一值为0，第二值为1。
另一种示例中，以隐式配置第四信息为例。第四信息可以包括用于终端设备接收寻呼 消息的频域资源。比如第四信息包括用于所述第一终端设备采用跳频方式接收寻呼消息的至少两个频域资源的信息。即为第一终端设备配置了至少两个频域资源，隐含指示终端设备接收寻呼消息的方式为跳频方式。再比如，第四信息包括用于第一终端设备接收寻呼消息的一个频域资源，隐含指示第一终端设备接收寻呼消息的方式为非跳频方式。
作为一种可能的实施方式，在核心网设备采用显示配置的方法向第一终端设备配置第四信息的情况下，如果配置寻呼消息的传输方式为跳频方式，第四信息还可以包括用于传输寻呼消息的至少两个频域资源的位置信息。以第一频域资源和第二频域资源为例，网络设备在第一时间单元上采用第一频域资源发送寻呼消息，在第二时间单元上采用第二频域资源发送寻呼消息。需要说明的是，核心网设备还可以将寻呼消息的传输方式以及用于传输寻呼消息的至少两个频域资源的位置信息，分开配置给第一终端设备，比如通过不同的消息将寻呼消息的传输方式以及用于传输寻呼消息的至少两个频域资源的位置信息配置给第一终端设备。
上述核心网设备确定第二配置信息的规则，比如是，针对小区中心的终端设备采用非跳频的方式发送，针对小区边缘用户的终端设备采用跳频的方式发送。或者，针对特定终端设备类型采用跳频的方式发送，或者针对特殊业务类型的终端设备采用跳频方式发送等。
作为一种可能的实施方式，第二配置信息包括的第四信息指示采用跳频方式的情况下，第二配置信息中除了包括第四信息外，还可以包括第五信息。第四信息和第五信息可以用于联合指示特定类型的终端设备采用跳频方式接收寻呼消息。比如第五信息包括支持采用跳频方式发送寻呼消息的终端设备的类型信息、或包括终端设备支持的业务的类型信息、或者包括终端设备的类型信息和终端设备支持的业务的类型信息。其中，终端设备的类型信息可以用于确定该终端设备是否是带宽受限的终端设备(即特定类型的终端设备)，也就是说，终端设备根据终端设备的类型信息判断是否采用跳频方式接收寻呼消息。例如，如果第二配置信息包括第四信息和第五信息，指示针对第五信息指示的终端设备采用跳频方式接收寻呼消息。而如果第二配置信息不包括第五信息，则可以针对任意类型的终端设备均可以采用跳频方式接收寻呼消息。
作为一种可选地实施方式，第一终端设备可以根据自身需求向网络设备或者核心网设备发送指示信息，指示信息用于指示第一终端设备期望采用跳频方式接收寻呼消息。网络设备或者核心网设备可以根据第一终端设备发送的指示信息，确定针对该第一终端设备是否采用跳频方式发送寻呼消息。如果确定采用跳频方式发送寻呼消息，为第一终端设备分配用于接收寻呼消息的至少两个频域资源。如果网络设备针对该第一终端设备已经发送过第一配置信息，或者核心网设备针对该第一终端设备已经发送过第二配置信息，则在接收到指示信息后，可以不再为第一终端设备分配至少两个频域资源。
一种方式中，第一终端设备可以通过辅助信息向网络设备或者核心网设备发送指示信息。即辅助信息中包括所述指示信息。
另一种方式中，第一终端设备可以通过跟踪区(tracking area，TA)更新消息或者无线接入网络区域(radio access network area，RA)更新消息向网络设备或者核心网设备发送指示信息，即跟踪区更新消息携带指示信息。
作为一种示例，第一终端设备在确定自身的路损达到阈值时，可以向网络设备发送该指示信息。
在一种可能场景中，网络设备发送寻呼消息的方式为跳频方式，网络设备确定向所述 第一终端设备发送所述寻呼消息的次数达到第一阈值时，再采用非跳频方式通过所述至少两个频域资源向所述第一终端设备发送所述寻呼消息；或者，确定向所述第一终端设备发送所述寻呼消息的时间长度达到第二阈值时，采用非跳频方式通过所述至少两个频域资源向所述第一终端设备发送所述寻呼消息。
以至少两个频域资源包括第一频域资源和第二频域资源为例，网络设备在第一时间单元上通过第一频域资源发送寻呼消息。网络设备在第二时间单元上通过第二频域资源发送所述寻呼消息。如果确定向所述第一终端设备发送所述寻呼消息的次数达到第一阈值且未收到所述第一终端设备的反馈时，可以在第三时间单元上通过第一频域资源和第二频域资源向第一终端设备发送寻呼消息。或者，如果确定向所述第一终端设备发送所述寻呼消息的时间长度达到第二阈值(比如X个PO的时间长度)且未接收到所述第一终端设备的反馈时，可以在第三时间单元上通过第一频域资源和第二频域资源向第一终端设备发送寻呼消息。

本申请实施例还提供一种通信装置，该通信装置可以是终端设备也可以是电路。该通信装置可以用于执行上述方法实施例中由第一终端设备所执行的动作。
当该通信装置为终端设备时，图4示出了一种简化的终端设备的结构示意图。便于理解和图示方便，图4中，终端设备以手机作为例子。如图4所示，终端设备包括处理器、存储器、射频电路、天线以及输入输出装置。处理器主要用于对通信协议以及通信数据进行处理，以及对终端设备进行控制，执行软件程序，处理软件程序的数据等。存储器主要用于存储软件程序和数据。射频电路主要用于基带信号与射频信号的转换以及对射频信号的处理。天线主要用于收发电磁波形式的射频信号。输入输出装置，例如触摸屏、显示屏，键盘等主要用于接收用户输入的数据以及对用户输出数据。需要说明的是，有些种类的终端设备可以不具有输入输出装置。
当需要发送数据时，处理器对待发送的数据进行基带处理后，输出基带信号至射频电路，射频电路将基带信号进行射频处理后将射频信号通过天线以电磁波的形式向外发送。当有数据发送到终端设备时，射频电路通过天线接收到射频信号，将射频信号转换为基带信号，并将基带信号输出至处理器，处理器将基带信号转换为数据并对该数据进行处理。为便于说明，图4中仅示出了一个存储器和处理器。在实际的终端设备产品中，可以存在一个或多个处理器和一个或多个存储器。存储器也可以称为存储介质或者存储设备等。存储器可以是独立于处理器设置，也可以是与处理器集成在一起，本申请实施例对此不做限制。
在本申请实施例中，可以将具有收发功能的天线和射频电路视为终端设备的收发单元(收发单元可以是一个功能单元，该功能单元能够实现发送功能和接收功能；或者，收发单元也可以包括两个功能单元，分别为能够实现接收功能的接收单元和能够实现发送功能的发送单元)，将具有处理功能的处理器视为终端设备的处理单元。如图4所示，终端设备包括收发单元410和处理单元420。收发单元也可以称为收发器、收发机、收发装置等。处理单元也可以称为处理器，处理单板，处理模块、处理装置等。可选的，可以将收发单元410中用于实现接收功能的器件视为接收单元，将收发单元410中用于实现发送功能的器件视为发送单元，即收发单元410包括接收单元和发送单元。收发单元有时也可以称为收发机、收发器、或收发电路等。接收单元有时也可以称为接收机、接收器、或接收电路等。发送单元有时也可以称为发射机、发射器或者发射电路等。
应理解，收发单元410用于执行上述方法实施例中终端设备侧的发送操作和接收操作，处理单元420用于执行上述方法实施例中终端设备上除了收发操作之外的其他操作。
