在一些实施例中，上述无线通信***还可以包含网络管理设备13。
若干个基站12分别与网络管理设备13相连。其中，网络管理设备13可以是无线通信***中的核心网设备，比如，该网络管理设备13可以是演进的数据分组核心网(Evolved Packet Core，EPC)中的移动性管理实体(Mobility Management Entity，MME)。或者，该网络管理设备也可以是其 它的核心网设备，比如服务网关(Serving GateWay，SGW)、公用数据网网关(Public Data Network GateWay，PGW)、策略与计费规则功能单元(Policy and Charging Rules Function，PCRF)或者归属签约用户服务器(Home Subscriber Server，HSS)等。对于网络管理设备13的实现形态，本公开实施例不做限定。
本公开实施例涉及的执行主体包括但不限于：支持蜂窝移动通信的手机终端等UE，以及基站等。
本公开实施例的一个应用场景为，在5G NR***中，为了增强覆盖，降低基站功耗，可以采用多波束的通信机制。在较低频段可以使用全向波束或者最多4个方向性波束，在稍高频段，可以使用最多8波束甚至64波束进行通信。
在高频通信***中，例如在NR 52.6GHz以上的高频通信中，为了增强覆盖、抑制信道时延(Channel Delay)等原因，通常需要使用较为精细的波束。当终端处于运动状态时，基站/终端则需要较为频繁的更换发送波束。如果在高频通信***中，UE使用较为精细的发送波束。UE在运动的情况下发送上行数据，为了能对准接收端，则需要经常切换发送波束。在非授权频段的通信中，终端在发送数据的过程中如果切换了波束则需要用新的发送波束重新做信道检测。频繁的切换波束就导致信道检测的开销过大。
如图2所示，本示例性实施例提供一种通信方法，通信方法可以应用于蜂窝移动通信***的数据发送端中，包括：
步骤201：通过检测波束进行空闲信道检测CCA，其中，一个所述检测波束关联至少一个用于发送数据的发送波束。
这里，数据发送端可以采用无线通信技术与数据接收端进行数据通信。例如，数据发送端可以是采用蜂窝移动通信技术等无线通信技术进行通信的终端等UE，也可以是采用蜂窝移动通信技术等无线通信技术进行通信的 基站。
针对于数据发送端是UE，数据接收端可以是基站也可以是另一个UE。UE和基站可以在非授权频谱上进行空口通信。UE和UE可以在非授权频谱上采用直连链路，如sidelink等进行通信。
针对于数据发送端是基站，数据接收端可以是UE。UE和基站可以在非授权频谱上进行空口通信。
数据发送端可以通过波束赋形的方法得到用于发送数据的发送波束。不同的发送波束可以具有不同的指向性或覆盖范围等。数据发送端还可以通过波束赋形的方法得到用于进行CCA的检测波束，不同的检测波束可以具有不同的指向性或覆盖范围等。
检测波束的CCA结果可以用于表征检测波束关联的发送波束的占用情况。示例性的，检测波束的CCA结果指示信道未被占用，则可以表征检测波束关联的发送波束的信道未被占用。检测波束的CCA结果指示信道被占用，则可以表征检测波束关联的发送波束中，至少有一个发送波束的信道被占用。
在一个实施例中，与所述检测波束关联的所述至少一个发送波束，位于所述检测波束的覆盖范围内。
检测波束可以是空域上覆盖范围更宽的波束，发送波束是可以是空域上覆盖范围较窄的波束。如图3所示，一个检测波束的覆盖范围内可以包含一个或多个用于发送数据的发送波束。数据发送端可以根据与数据接收端的相对位置在多个发送波束之间切换并进行数据传输。
发送波束可以是用于承载上行信道的波束，也可以是用于承载下行信道的波束。例如，当UE作为数据发送端时，发送波束可以是用于承载物理上行共享信道(PUSCH，Physical Uplink Shared Channel)，和/或物理上行控制信道(PUCCH，Physical Uplink Control Channel)等资源的波束。当基 站作为数据发送端时，发送波束可以是用于承载物理下行共享信道(PDSCH，Physical Downlink Shared Channel)，和/或物理下行控制信道(PDCCH，Physical Downlink Control Channel)等资源的波束。
数据发送端可以通过检测波束进行CCA。数据发送端可以对检测波束覆盖范围内的的无线信号进行监听，判断检测波束的信道是否空闲。
由于检测波束的覆盖范围内可以包含一个或多个发送波束。当检测波束的信道空闲时，可以确定各发送波束的信道同样空闲。检测波束的覆盖范围内包含的一个或多个发送波束，可以至少包括在一定时间段内，数据发送端和数据接收端相对运动时，数据发送端所需要切换的波束。通过对检测波束进行CCA，数据发送端可以确定多个发送波束的信道占用情况，减小数据发送端和数据接收端在相对运动过程中对新切换发送波束进行CCA的几率，进而降低CCA的开销。
示例性的，当数据发送端为UE时，检测波束覆盖范围内可以包含有一个或多个用于上行数据的发送波束。UE可以对检测波束进行CCA，进而确定用于上行数据的各发送波束的信道占用情况。当数据发送端为基站时，检测波束覆盖范围内可以包含有一个或多个用于下行数据的发送波束。基站可以对检测波束进行CCA，进而确定用于下行数据的各发送波束的信道占用情况。
如此，可以只通过对关联于多个发送波束的检测波束进行CCA，就可以确定一个或多个发送波束的信道占用状况。一方面，提高了CCA的效率。另一方面，相对于逐个发送波束进行CCA，降低了CCA的开销。
在一个实施例中，如图4所示，所述方法还包括：
步骤202：响应于所述CCA的结果为所述检测波束未被占用，通过所述检测波束关联的至少一个所述发送波束发送数据。
当检测波束的CCA结果为信道未被占用时，则可以确定检测波束的覆 盖范围内的发送波束的信道未被占用。数据发送端可以利用检测波束的覆盖范围内的发送波束发送数据。数据发送端可以利用检测波束的覆盖范围内的一个或多个发送波束发送数据。
当检测波束的CCA结果为信道被占用时，仍然存在一个或多个发送波束信道未被占用的情况。数据发送端可以减小检测波束的覆盖范围，并对减小覆盖范围后的检测波束进行CCA。例如，当检测波束的CCA结果为信道被占用时，数据发送端可以将检测波束的覆盖范围调整到和调度的发送波束一致，即对调度的发送波束单独进行CCA，确定信道占用情况。
示例性的，当数据发送端为UE时，UE可以对检测波束进行CCA，如果检测波束的CCA结果为信道未被占用，则UE可以通过，通过检测波束的覆盖范围内的发送波束向基站上行数据。当数据发送端为基站时，基站可以对检测波束进行CCA，如果检测波束的CCA结果为信道未被占用，则基站可以通过检测波束的覆盖范围内的发送波束向UE下行数据。
在一个实施例中，所述通过所述检测波束关联的至少一个所述发送波束发送数据，包括：
在所述检测波束的最大信道占用时长MCOT内，通过所述检测波束关联的至少一个所述发送波束分别发送数据。
为了提高不同设备占用资源的公平性，可以预先设定检测波束的MCOT。数据发送端确定检测波束的信道未被占用时，可以在MCOT内发送数据。如果数据发送端在MCOT之外仍然需要占用信道，则需要再次对检测波束进行CCA，确定检测波束信道空闲后再占用发送波束的信道。
针对UE上行数据到基站的情况，可以由基站设定检测波束的MCOT，并由基站将MCOT发送给UE。
数据发送端可以同时占用多个发送波束的信道发送数据。数据发送端也可以采用在一个时间点只占用一个发送波束信道，连续通过多个发送波 束发送数据。
在一个实施例中，响应于通过所述检测波束关联的多个所述发送波束分别发送数据，时域相邻的两个用于发送数据的所述发送波束的时域位置连续，或者，时域相邻的两个用于发送数据的所述发送波束的时域位置的间隔小于预定时域间隔。
针对数据发送端采用在一个时间点只占用一个发送波束的信道，连续通过多个发送波束发送数据的情况，数据发送端占用多个发送波束信道的间隔需要满足一定条件，使得外部通信设备不能在据发送端占用多个发送波束的间隔内占用发送波束的信道资源。
数据发送端占用的时域相邻的两个发送波束信道的时域位置可以保持连续，即占用的两个发送波束的信道资源，如PUSCH和/或PUCCH等需要保持连续。
数据发送端占用的时域相邻的两个发送波束信道的时域位置的间隔小于预定时域间隔，即占用的两个发送波束的信道资源，如PUSCH和/或PUCCH等的间隔可以小于预定时域间隔。预定时域间隔可以基于外部通信设备判断发送波束信道未被占用所需的时间确定，例如，预定时域间隔可以是16uS。
在一个实施例中，所述方法还包括：
根据波束对应关系信息，确定所述检测波束所关联的所述发送波束，其中，所述波束对应关系信息，用于指示所述检测波束与所述检测波束所关联的至少一个所述发送波束。
波束对应关系信息可以由基站等预先设定。
波束对应关系信息可以指示一个检测波束与其覆盖范围内所包含的至少一个发送波束。
波束对应关系信息也可以指示多个检测波束与多个检测波束各自覆盖 范围内分别包含的至少一个发送波束。
基站和UE可以基于波束对应关系信息确定检测波束对应的发送波束或发送波束对应的检测波束。
在一个实施例中，所述波束对应关系信息，用于指示所述检测波束，与所述检测波束所关联的至少一个所述发送波束的参考信号的标识。
在5G标准协议中，波束实际上是以参考信号来表征的。所谓不同的波束，在协议上的体现可以是不同的参考信号。不同参考信号的标识不同。
这里，波束对应关系信息可以指示一个检测波束与其覆盖范围内所包含的至少一个发送波束的参考信号的标识。
波束对应关系信息也可以指示多个检测波束与多个检测波束各自覆盖范围内分别包含的至少一个发送波束的参考信号的标识。
在一个实施例中，所述参考信号的标识包括以下至少一个：同步信号块SSB的索引、信道状态信息参考信号CSI-RS的标识ID。
这里，参考信号可以包括：SSB和CSI-RS等。波束对应关系信息可以可以指示检测波束与其覆盖范围内所包含的发送波束的SSB的索引和/或CSI-RS的ID。如此，可以明确指示出检测波束与其覆盖范围内所包含的发送波束。
在一个实施例中，所述方法还包括：
响应于所述数据发送端为用户设备UE，接收基站发送的所述波束对应关系信息。
基站可以向UE发送波束对应关系信息，波束对应关系信息可以包括：一个或多个检测波束，以及各检测波束覆盖范围内分别包含的一个或者多个发送波束。
在一个实施例中，所述接收基站发送的所述波束对应关系信息，包括：
接收携带有所述波束对应关系信息的无线资源控制RRC信令。
基站可以通过RRC信令向UE发送波束对应关系信息。波束对应关系信息可以采用现有的RRC信令进行传输，例如，利用现有RRC信令的预留比特位携带波束对应关系信息。也可以新增RRC信令专门用于携带波束对应关系信息。
示例性的，基站可以在向UE调度用于上行数据的信道资源之前发送波束对应关系信息。基站可以通过RRC信令发送波束对应关系信息。
在调度UE上行数据时，基站可以在调度DCI中指示PUSCH/PUCCH的发送波束、LBT方式。
UE接收到调度DCI，确定该PUSCH/PUCCH的发送波束。并根据波束对应关系信息确定发送波束对应的检测波束，并对该检测波束CCA。在CCA确定信道未被占用时，上行数据。
基站下行数据时，可以首先确定下行数据的的发送波束，并根据波束对应关系信息确定发送波束对应的检测波束，并对该检测波束CCA。在CCA确定信道未被占用时，下行数据。
如图5所示，本示例性实施例提供一种通信方法，通信方法可以应用于蜂窝移动通信***的基站中，包括：
步骤501：向用户设备UE发送波束对应关系信息，所述波束对应关系信息，用于指示检测波束和与所述检测波束关联的至少一个发送波束，其中，所述检测波束，用于供UE进行空闲信道检测CCA；
响应于所述检测波束的CCA结果为所述检测波束未被占用，所述发送波束用于发送数据。
这里，UE可以是采用蜂窝移动通信技术等无线通信技术进行通信的终端等UE，基站可以是采用蜂窝移动通信***中的接入网接口。UE和基站可以在非授权频谱上进行空口通信。
UE可以通过波束赋形的方法得到用于发送数据的发送波束。不同的发 送波束可以具有不同的指向性或覆盖范围等。UE还可以通过波束赋形的方法得到用于进行CCA的检测波束，不同的检测波束可以具有不同的指向性或覆盖范围等。
检测波束的CCA结果可以用于表征检测波束关联的发送波束的占用情况。示例性的，检测波束的CCA结果指示信道未被占用，则可以表征检测波束关联的发送波束的信道未被占用。检测波束的CCA结果指示信道被占用，则可以表征检测波束关联的发送波束中，至少有一个发送波束的信道被占用。
在一个实施例中，与所述检测波束关联的所述至少一个发送波束，位于所述检测波束的覆盖范围内。
检测波束可以是空域上覆盖范围更宽的波束，发送波束是可以是空域上覆盖范围较窄的波束。如图3所示，一个检测波束的覆盖范围内可以包含一个或多个用于发送数据的发送波束。数据发送端可以根据与数据接收端的相对位置在多个发送波束之间切换并进行数据传输。
发送波束可以是用于承载上行信道的波束，也可以是用于承载下行信道的波束。例如，当UE作为数据发送端时，发送波束可以是用于承载物理上行共享信道(PUSCH，Physical Uplink Shared Channel)，和/或物理上行控制信道(PUCCH，Physical Uplink Control Channel)等资源的波束。当基站作为数据发送端时，发送波束可以是用于承载物理下行共享信道(PDSCH，Physical Downlink Shared Channel)，和/或物理下行控制信道(PDCCH，Physical Downlink Control Channel)等资源的波束。
UE可以通过检测波束进行CCA。UE可以对检测波束覆盖范围内的的无线信号进行监听，判断检测波束的信道是否空闲。
由于检测波束的覆盖范围内可以包含一个或多个发送波束。当检测波束的信道空闲时，可以确定各发送波束的信道同样空闲。检测波束的覆盖 范围内包含的一个或多个发送波束，可以至少包括在一定时间段内，UE相对基站运动时，UE需要切换的波束。通过对检测波束进行CCA，UE可以确定多个发送波束的信道占用情况，减小数据UE在运动过程中对新切换发送波束进行CCA的几率，进而降低CCA的开销。
示例性的，检测波束覆盖范围内可以包含有一个或多个用于上行数据的发送波束。UE可以对检测波束进行CCA，进而确定用于上行数据的各发送波束的信道占用情况。
基站可以向UE发送波束对应关系信息，波束对应关系信息可以包括：一个或多个检测波束，以及各检测波束覆盖范围内分别包含的一个或者多个发送波束。
如此，可以只通过对关联于个发送波束的检测波束进行CCA，就可以确定一个或多个发送波束的信道占用状况。一方面，提高了CCA的效率。另一方面，相对于逐个发送波束进行CCA，降低了CCA的开销。
在一个实施例中，所述向UE发送波束对应关系信息，包括：
向所述UE发送携带有所述波束对应关系信息的无线资源控制RRC信令。
基站可以通过RRC信令向UE发送波束对应关系信息。波束对应关系信息可以采用现有的RRC信令进行传输，例如，利用现有RRC信令的预留比特位携带波束对应关系信息。也可以新增RRC信令专门用于携带波束对应关系信息。
基站可以在向UE调度用于上行数据的信道资源之前发送波束对应关系信息。基站可以通过RRC信令发送波束对应关系信息。
在调度UE上行数据时，基站可以在调度DCI中指示PUSCH/PUCCH的发送波束、LBT方式。
UE接收到调度DCI，确定该PUSCH/PUCCH的发送波束。并根据波束 对应关系信息确定发送波束对应的检测波束，并对该检测波束CCA。在CCA确定信道未被占用时，上行数据。
基站下行数据时，可以首先确定下行数据的的发送波束，并根据波束对应关系信息确定发送波束对应的检测波束，并对该检测波束CCA。在CCA确定信道未被占用时，下行数据。
在一个实施例中，所述波束对应关系信息，用于指示所述检测波束，和与所述检测波束关联的至少一个发送波束的参考信号的标识。
在5G标准协议中，波束实际上是以参考信号来表征的。所谓不同的波束，在协议上的体现可以是不同的参考信号。不同参考信号的标识不同。
这里，波束对应关系信息可以指示一个检测波束与其覆盖范围内所包含的至少一个发送波束的参考信号的标识。
波束对应关系信息也可以指示多个检测波束与多个检测波束各自覆盖范围内分别包含的至少一个发送波束的参考信号的标识。
在一个实施例中，所述参考信号的标识包括以下至少一个：同步信号块SSB的索引、信道状态信息参考信号CSI-RS的标识ID。
这里，参考信号可以包括：SSB和CSI-RS等。波束对应关系信息可以可以指示检测波束与其覆盖范围内所包含的发送波束的SSB的索引和/或CSI-RS的ID。如此，可以明确指示出检测波束与其覆盖范围内所包含的发送波束。
以下结合上述任意实施例提供一个具体示例：
在5G标准协议中，波束可以以参考信号来表征的。不同的波束，在协议上的体现为不同的参考信号。例如不同的索引index的同步信号块(SSB，Synchronization Signal Block),不同ID的信道状态信息参考信号(CSI-RS，Channel Status Information-Reference Signal)均可以表示不同的波束。
基站可以通过高层信令,例如RRC层信令，为UE配置一个或者多个波 束集合(或者，参考信号ID集合)，各个波束集合中包括：
1，一个检测波束
2，该个检测波束对应的一个或者多个发送波束
检测波束是一个空域上范围更宽的波束，发送波束是一个空域上范围较窄的波束。检测波束能将本集合中一个或者多个发送波束包含在内。检测波束本身也是默认的发射波束。
数据发送端可以使用检测波束来进行CCA，信道道检测成功之后，在随后的MCOT内，如果使用本集合内的多个发送波束分别发送数据时，就不需要因为切换了发送波束重新进行CCA，可以直接开始数据发送。因而能够降低LBT开销。
在UE侧，现有R16阶段的协议中，基站给UE的调度PUSCH的DCI中会包含PUSCH的发送波束，以及LBT方式，但并没有指明用于CCA检测的波束。
采用本发明实施例的方法，具体步骤可以包括：
1，首先需要高层配置。基站通过RRC层信令配置检测波束及其对应的多个发送波束。
2，在实际的PUSCH调度中：
基站侧：仍然按照R16的做法，基站只在调度DCI中指示PUSCH的发送波束、LBT方式，不需要指示检测波束。
UE侧：UE收到调度DCI，使用该PUSCH的发送波束对应的检测波束进行LBT。检测波束是根据高层配置确定的。获得上行信道后，在MCOT内仍然有后续待发送的PUSCH/PUCCH，如果其发送波束也对应于相同的检测波束，则可以直接发送，无需重新进行CCA。要求PUSCH/PUCCH时域连续，或者各上行信道之间的间隔小于一定门限值(例如16us)。否则，将会因为各信道之间的时间间隔过大而不得不重新进行信道检测。
协议中可以明确，允许这种检测波束和发送波束不相同的LBT方式。
