Description

集合确定方法、装置、通信装置及存储介质 技术领域
本公开涉及通信技术领域，具体而言，涉及集合确定方法、集合确定装置、通信装置和计算机可读存储介质。
背景技术
在相关技术中，一个下行控制信息(Downlink Control Information，DCI)只用于调度一个小区的数据，例如调度一个小区的物理上行共享信道(Physical Uplink Shared Channel，PUSCH)、物理下行共享信道(Physical Downlink Shared Channel，PDSCH)。
随着频率资源的碎片化，同时调度多个小区的数据的需求逐步提升，为了降低控制消息开销，可以通过单个DCI调度多个小区的数据。但是在单个DCI针对多个小区进行调度的场景下，也存在一些技术问题。

具体实施方式
下面将结合本公开实施例中的附图，对本公开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公开一部分实施例，而不是全部的实施例。基于本公开中的实施例，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，都属于本公开保护的范围。
在本公开实施例使用的术语是仅仅出于描述特定实施例的目的，而非旨在限制本公开实施例。在本公开实施例和所附权利要求书中所使用的单数形式的“一种”和“该”也旨在包括多数形式，除非上下文清楚地表示其他含义。还应当理解，本文中使用的术语“和/或”是指并包含一个或多个相关联的列出项目的任何或所有可能组合。
应当理解，尽管在本公开实施例可能采用术语第一、第二、第三等来描述各种信息，但这些信息不应限于这些术语。这些术语仅用来将同一类型的信息彼此区分开。例如，在不脱离本公开实施例范围的情况下，第一信息也可以被称为第二信息，类似地，第二信息也可以被称为第一信息。取决于语境，如在此所使用的词语“如果”可以 被解释成为“在……时”或“当……时”或“响应于确定”。
出于简洁和便于理解的目的，本文在表征大小关系时，所使用的术语为“大于”或“小于”、“高于”或“低于”。但对于本领域技术人员来说，可以理解：术语“大于”也涵盖了“大于等于”的含义，“小于”也涵盖了“小于等于”的含义；术语“高于”涵盖了“高于等于”的含义，“低于”也涵盖了“低于等于”的含义。
图1是根据本公开的实施例示出的一种集合确定方法的示意流程图。本实施例所示的集合确定方法可以由终端执行，所述终端包括但不限于手机、平板电脑、可穿戴设备、传感器、物联网设备等通信装置。所述终端可以与网络设备通信，所述网络设备包括但不限于4G、5G、6G等通信***中的网络设备，例如基站、核心网等。
如图1所示，所述集合确定方法可以包括以下步骤：
在步骤S101中，确定第一小区所属的小区集合，其中，用于调度所述小区集合中多个小区(具体是指调度小区的数据，例如PUSCH、PDSCH)的下行控制信息(DCI)的尺寸相同。
在一个实施例中，用于调度多个小区的DCI可以包括用于调度多个小区上行数据的DCI，例如可以称作DCI format 0_3，可以用于调度所述小区集合中多个小区上行数据；还可以包括用于调度多个小区下行数据的DCI，例如可以称作DCI format 1_3，可以用于调度所述小区集合中多个小区下行数据。
在一个实施例中，用于调度多个小区的下行控制信息可以称作MC-DCI，其中，MC可以表示多载波(multi carrier)，也可以表示多小区(multi cell)。由于相对于传统(legacy)DCI，MC-DCI为新引入的DCI，其尺寸(size，也可以译作大小，是指占用的比特数)与传统DCI可以是不同的，这就导致尺寸的种类增多，而过多的DCI尺寸会导致终端盲检DCI的复杂度增加。
根据本公开的实施例，终端可以确定第一小区(并非特指某个小区，可以是任意服务小区)所属的小区集合，对于调度同一小区集合中多个小区的相同格式(format)的MC-DCI，终端可以确定具有相同的尺寸，从而按照相同尺寸进行盲检，从而降低盲检过程中需要考虑的DCI尺寸的数量，有利于降低盲检复杂度。
也即对于属于相同集合的小区，终端在接收到用于调度小区的MC-DCI时，对于同一个format对应的MC-DCI，终端期望按照相同的尺寸进行盲检，或者可以描述为对于属于相同集合的小区，终端在接收到用于调度小区的MC-DCI时，对于同一个 format对应的MC-DCI，终端不期望按照不同尺寸进行盲检。
在一个实施例中，不同小区集合包含的小区不同。也即同一个小区不会属于不同小区集合，不同小区集合包含的小区是不同的。
以两个小区集合为例，小区集合#1包含Cell#1、Cell#2、Cell#3，小区集合#2包含Cell#4、Cell#5、Cell#6、Cell#7。
基于本公开的实施例，对于用于调度Cell#1和Cell#2的MC-DCI format 1_3，以及用于调度Cell#2和Cell#3的MC-DCI format 1_3，由于Cell#1、Cell#2、Cell#3都属于小区集合#1，在接收MC-DCI时，可以按照相同的尺寸进行盲检；
类似地，对于用于调度Cell#4和Cell#5的MC-DCI format 1_3，以及用于调度Cell#5和Cell#6的MC-DCI format 1_3，由于Cell#4、Cell#5、Cell#6都属于小区集合#2，在接收MC-DCI时，可以按照相同的尺寸进行盲检。
其中，对于不同小区集合而言，调度小区集合中小区的MC-DCI的尺寸可以是相同的，也可以是不同的，本公开对此不作限制。例如对于调度小区集合#1中多个小区的MC-DCI，和调度小区集合#2中多个小区的MC-DCI，尺寸可以相同，也可以不同，具体可以根据实际情况确定。
可见，根据本公开的实施例，对于同一个小区集合中的小区，无论MC-DCI调度集合中的哪些小区，终端可以按照相同的尺寸盲检MC-DCI，而无需在每次接收到的MC-DCI时按照不同的尺寸盲检。
在一个实施例中，用于调度所述小区集合中多个小区的相同格式的下行控制信息的尺寸相同。
以上述小区集合#1为例，对于调度小区集合#1中多个小区的相同格式的DCI，终端可以按照相同的尺寸进行盲检。
例如终端一次接收DCI format 0_3，用于调度小区集合#1中Cell#1和Cell#2的上行数据，再一次接收DCI format 0_3，用于调度小区集合#1中Cell#2和Cell#3的上行数据。由于Cell#1、Cell#2、Cell#3都属于小区集合#1，针对上述两次接收DCI format 0_3，可以按照相同的尺寸进行盲检DCI format 0_3。
据此，对于调度同一小区集合中多个小区的相同格式的MC-DCI，终端可以确定具有相同的尺寸，从而按照相同尺寸进行盲检，从而降低盲检过程中针对同一格式 的DCI需要考虑的DCI尺寸的数量，有利于降低盲检复杂度。
图2是根据本公开的实施例示出的另一种集合确定方法的示意流程图。如图2所示，所述确定第一小区所属的小区集合包括：
在步骤S201中，根据网络设备发送的指示信息确定小区与小区集合之间的对应关系；
在步骤S202中，根据所述对应关系确定所述第一小区所属的小区集合。
在一个实施例中，小区与小区集合之间的对应关系，可以是网络设备指示的，例如网络设备可以通过指示信息将小区与小区集合之间的对应关系指示给终端，进而终端可以根据小区与小区集合之间的对应关系确定第一小区所属的小区集合。
需要说明的是，网络设备所指示的对应关系中的小区，可以是网络设备根据需要选择的，也可以是网络设备根据预定义规则确定的，例如预定义规则规定的小区可以是任意小区，或者网络设备所支持的小区，或者终端所支持的小区，或者当前为终端提供服务的小区(包括主小区、辅小区等)，或者一个物理上行控制信道(Physical Uplink Control Channel，PUCCH)群组(group)或物理上行控制信道小区中的小区。
在一个实施例中，所述小区集合中的小区属于相同的物理上行控制信道群组或物理上行控制信道小区。
在一个实施例中，所述小区集合中小区的数量，小于或等于用于调度多小区的下行控制信息所能调度小区的最大数量；或者，
所述小区集合中小区的数量，大于所述最大数量、或小于所述最大数量、或等于所述最大数量；或者，
所述小区集合中小区的数量，与用于调度多小区的下行控制信息对应的物理上行控制信道群组或物理上行控制信道小区所包含的小区的数量相同。
例如小区集合中小区的数量为n c，MC-DCI所能调度小区的最大数量为n max，可以限定n c小于n max；或者不限定n c的大小，也即n c既可以大于n max，也可以小于n max，也可以等于n max；或者可以限定n c与MC-DCI对应的PUCCH group或者PUCCH cell中包含小区的数据量相同。
在一个实施例中，所述最大数量为用于调度多个小区物理上行共享信道(Physical Uplink Shared Channel，PUSCH)的下行控制信息(例如DCI 0_X，X可以 为0、1、2、3等)所能调度的小区的最大数量；或者，所述最大数量为用于调度多个小区物理下行共享信道(Physical Downlink Shared Channel，PDSCH)的下行控制信息(例如DCI 1_X，X可以为0、1、2、3等)所能调度的小区的最大数量。
在一个实施例中，所述方法还包括：在所述第一小区接收到所述下行控制信息时，确定所述下行控制信息用于调度所述第一小区所属小区集合中的一个或多个小区。也即终端在第一小区接收到MC-DCI时，若确定第一小区属于第一小区集合，那么可以确定MC-DCI仅用于调度第一小区集合中的一个或多个小区，据此，可以减少确定MC-DCI所调度小区时所考虑小区的范围，有利于简化确定MC-DCI所调度小区的过程。
在一个实施例中，所述指示信息包括但不限于无线资源控制(Radio Resource Control，RRC)消息、媒体接入控制层控制单元(Media Access Control Control Element，MAC CE)、DCI等。以下主要在指示信息为RRC消息的情况下，对本公开的技术方案进行示例性说明。
图3是根据本公开的实施例示出的又一种集合确定方法的示意流程图。如图3所示，所述根据网络设备发送的指示信息确定小区与小区集合之间的对应关系包括：
在步骤S301中，在所述第一小区接收网络设备发送的指示信息；
在步骤S302中，根据所述指示信息确定所述第一小区所属小区集合的标识。
在一个实施例中，终端可以根据在第一小区接收到的指示信息，确定第一小区所属集合的标识，也即网络设备在第一小区向终端发送的指示信息，可以指示第一小区所属小区集合的标识。
例如网络设备在第一小区向终端发送的指示信息中包含小区集合的标识1，在第二小区向终端发送的指示信息中包含小区集合的标识2，那么终端可以确定第一小区属于标识为1的小区集合，以及确定第二小区属于标识为2的小区集合。
图4是根据本公开的实施例示出的一种应用场景示意图。
如图4所示，以8个小区为例，分别为Cell#1、Cell#2、Cell#3、Cell#4、Cell#5、Cell#6、Cell#7、Cell#8。
终端在Cell#1、Cell#2、Cell#3、Cell#4接收到的指示信息包含小区集合的标识为1，在Cell#5、Cell#6、Cell#7、Cell#8接收到的指示信息包含小区集合的标识为2， 那么终端可以确定Cell#1、Cell#2、Cell#3、Cell#4属于标识为1的小区集合(cell set id＝1)，以及确定Cell#5、Cell#6、Cell#7、Cell#8属于标识为2的小区集合(cell set id＝2)。
图5是根据本公开的实施例示出的又一种集合确定方法的示意流程图。如图5所示，所述根据网络设备发送的指示信息确定小区与小区集合之间的对应关系包括：
在步骤S501中，在所述第一小区接收网络设备发送的指示信息；
在步骤S502中，根据在多个所述第一小区接收到的指示信息确定多个小区组；
在步骤S503中，确定所述第一小区在所述多个小区组中所属的目标小区组，以及所述目标小区组所属的小区组集合；
在步骤S504中，确定所述小区组集合对应的小区集合，作为所述第一小区所属的小区集合。
在一个实施例中，终端可以在多个第一小区接收网络设备发送的指示信息，其中，所述指示信息可以指示接收指示信息时所在的第一小区对应的载波指示域(Carrier Indicator Field，CIF)的值与调度小区标识之间的关联关系，终端可以根据每个第一小区对应的关联关系，确定多个小区组。其中，所述关联关系具体可以是调度小区内载波指示域(cif-InScheduingCell)的值与调度小区标识之间的关联关系。
终端可以基于以下方式确定第一小区是否为在第二小区接收到的MC-DCI所调度的小区：
确定RRC消息中信息元素(Information Element，IE)服务小区配置(ServingCellConfig)，然后确定服务小区配置中的跨载波调度配置(CrossCarrierSchedulingConfig)，再在跨载波调度配置中确定调度小区信息(schedulingCellInfo)，进而在schedulingCellInfo指示值为其他(other)时，进一步确定schedulingCellInfo中调度小区标识(schedulingCellId)和cif-InScheduingCell。
在RRC消息内配置的调度小区标识与第二小区的标识相同，且RRC消息内配置的cif-InScheduingCell的值与在第二小区接收到的MC-DCI中CIF的值相同时，可以确定在第二小区接收到的MC-DCI用于调度第一小区。
所述关联关系可以定义多个载波指示域的值与多个调度小区标识之间的对应关系，并不限于一个载波指示域的值关联一个调度小区标识，因此网络设备根据所述关联关系向终端发送MC-DCI时，有利于提高MC-DCI对第一小区的调度灵活度。例 如，网络设备可以根据需要调度的第一小区对应的关联关系，在发送的MC-DCI中设置CIF值，从而动态调整被调度的多个小区(小区组)。
图6是根据本公开的实施例示出的另一种应用场景示意图。
如图6所示，以Cell#0(小区标识为0)、Cell#1(小区标识为1)和Cell#2(小区标识为2)这3个小区为例，网络设备通过RRC消息携带指示信息。
网络设备在Cell#0向终端发送的RRC消息中携带的关联关系为table1-0，在Cell#1向终端发送的RRC消息中携带的关联关系为table1-1，在Cell#2向终端发送的RRC消息中携带的关联关系为table1-2。
table1-0包含的关联关系为：载波指示域的值为0对应调度小区标识为2；
table1-1包含的关联关系为：载波指示域的值为1对应调度小区标识0，载波指示域的值为2对应调度小区标识为0；那么网络设备在小区标识为0的第二小区中向终端发送的MC-DCI中CIF的值为1时，可以实现对第一小区进(例如Cell#1)行调度，在小区标识为0的第二小区中向终端发送的MC-DCI中CIF的值为2时，也可以实现对第一小区(例如Cell#1)进行调度。其中，CIF的值的范围可以是0至7，当然，也可以根据需要调整。
table1-2包含的关联关系为：载波指示域的值为1对应调度小区标识0，载波指示域的值为3对应调度小区标识0。那么网络设备在小区标识为0的第二小区中向终端发送的MC-DCI中CIF的值为1时，可以实现对第一小区(例如Cell#2)进行调度，在小区标识为2的第二小区中向终端发送的MC-DCI中CIF的值为3时，也可以实现对第一小区(例如Cell#2)进行调度。
其中，由于table1-0是在调度小区Cell#0接收到的关联关系，而在调度小区接收到的MC-DCI是可以用于自调度的，也即在Cell#0接收到的MC-DCI可以用于调度Cell#0本身，所以Cell#0对应的关联关系除了table1-0中包含的对应关系，还可以额外包含：载波指示域的值为0对应调度小区标识为0、载波指示域的值为1对应调度小区标识为0、载波指示域的值为2对应调度小区标识为0、载波指示域的值为3对应调度小区标识为0。
需要说明的是，图6所示的表格(table)中空白的部分，也可以设置载波指示域的值和调度小区标识，只不过本实施例在示例过程中并未用到，因此没有示出。另外，表格中的行数并不限于图中所示4行，可以根据需要减少或增加行数。
基于上述关联关系可以确定，载波指示域的值为0(00)时，MC-DCI可以调度Cell#0；载波指示域的值为1(01)时，MC-DCI可以调度Cell#0、Cell#1、Cell#2；载波指示域的值为2(10)时，MC-DCI可以调度Cell#0和Cell#1；载波指示域的值为3(11)时，MC-DCI可以调度Cell#0和Cell#2。据此，终端可以确定的载波指示域的值与所调度小区之间的关系如下表1所示：
CIF 小区组
00 {0}
01 {0,1,2}
10 {0,1}
11 {0,2}
表1
其中，小区组可以是在每个第一小区接收到的指示信息所指示关联关系中，每个载波指示域的值对应的小区分别构成的小区组，如表示1所示，多个小区组为{0}、{0,1,2}、{0,1}、{0,2}。
可以理解的是，本公开所有实施例所示的表格中每一个元素都是独立存在的，这些元素被示例性的列在同一张表格中，但是并不代表表格中的所有元素必须根据表格中所示的同时存在。其中每一个元素的值，是不依赖于表格中任何其他元素值。因此本领域内技术人员可以理解，该表格中的每一个元素的取值都是一个独立的实施例。
由于小区组也有所属的小区组集合，而小区组集合则可以对应小区集合，因此，终端在确定多个小区组之后，可以进一步确定第一小区在多个小区组中所属的目标小区组，进而确定目标小区组所属的小区组集合，以及小区组集合对应的小区集合，那么就可以确定第一小区属于所确定的小区集合。
其中，不同小区组集合中的小区组所包含的小区是不同的，例如小区组集合#1包含小区组#1和小区组#2，小区组集合#2包含小区组#3和小区组#4，那么小区组#1和小区组#2所包含的小区，与小区组#3和小区组#4所包含的小区是不同的。
图7是根据本公开的实施例示出的又一种集合确定方法的示意流程图。如图7所示，所述方法还包括：
在步骤S701中，根据所述多个小区组确定至少一个小区组集合，其中，第一小区组集合中的第一小区组，至少与所述第一小区组集合中的第二小区组包含相同的小区。
在一个实施例中，终端在确定多个小区组之后，可以根据多个小区组确定小区组集合，其中，可以将包含相同小区的小区组，划分在同一个小区组集合中，例如第一小区组第二小区组包含相同的小区，那么可以将第一小区组和第二小区组划分在同一个小区组集合中，例如划分在第一小区组集合。
然后可以在其他小区组中确定与第一小区组集合中任一个小区组包含相同小区的小区组，然后将确定的小区组也划分在第一小区组集合中。以此类推，可以完成第一小区组集合的确定。进而根据确定第一小区组集合的方式，确定其他小区组集合。
需要说明的是，同一个小区组集合中的第一小区组和第二小区组不同，第一小区组和第二小区组并非特指某个小区，而是一个小区组集合中的任意一个小区组。
例如以以下几个小区组为例确定小区组集合：
{0,1,2,3},{3},{5,6,7},{3,4,5,6},{8,9},{8}；
首先可以考虑其中任一个小区组，例如首先考虑小区组{0,1,2,3}，可以确定小区组{3}和小区组{3,4,5,6}与小区组{0,1,2,3}包含相同的小区Cell#3，那么可以将{3}、{3,4,5,6}、{0,1,2,3}这3个小区组划分为同一个小区组集合中，例如称作第一小区组集合。
进而再判断其他小区组中，与第一小区组集合中任一个小区组包含相同小区的小区组，可以确定小区组{5,6,7}与第一小区组中的小区组{3,4,5,6}包含相同的小区Cell#5和Cell#6，那么可以将小区组{5,6,7}也划分到第一小区组集合中。
而小区组{8,9}和{8}与第一小区组集合中的任一个小区组均不包含相同的小区，所以第一小区组集合确定完毕，可以继续确定第二小区组集合。例如按照上述方式可以确定第二小区组集合包含小区组{8,9}和{8}。
针对小区组，在图4所示实施例的情况下，例如在Cell#1、Cell#2、Cell#3、Cell#4接收到的指示信息包含小区集合的标识为1，在Cell#5、Cell#6、Cell#7、Cell#8接收到的指示信息包含小区集合的标识为2，终端确定Cell#1、Cell#2、Cell#3、Cell#4属于标识为1的小区集合(cell set id＝1)，以及确定Cell#5、Cell#6、Cell#7、Cell#8属于标识为2的小区集合(cell set id＝2)。
后续终端在调度小区接收到的MC-DCI用于调度多个小区Cell#1、Cell#2、Cell#3、Cell#4的MC-DCI、也可以用于调度多个小区Cell#2、Cell#3，在调度小区接收到的另一个MC-DCI可以用于调度多个小区Cell#5、Cell#6、Cell#7、Cell#8，也可以用于调度多个小区Cell#6、Cell#7。那么可以确定4个小区组{1,2,3,4}、{2,3}、{5,6,7,8}、{6,7}，以及两个小区组集合{{1,2,3,4}、{2,3}}、{{5,6,7,8}、{6,7}}。其中，不同的小区组集合，可以是不同小区发送的MC-DCI所调度的小区确定。
图8是根据本公开的实施例示出的又一种集合确定方法的示意流程图。如图8所示，所述确定所述小区组集合对应的小区集合包括：
在步骤S801中，确定所述小区组集合中的小区组包含的小区构成的小区集合。
在一个实施例中，确定小区组集合对应小区集合的方式，可以是确定小区组集合中的小区组包含的小区，进而将确定的小区构成的集合作为小区组集合对应的小区集合。
图9是根据本公开的实施例示出的又一种应用场景示意图。
以前述实施例所确定的第一小区组集合和第二小区组集合为例，其中，第一小区组集合为{{0,1,2,3},{3},{3,4,5,6},{5,6,7}}，第二小区组集合为{{8,9},{8}}。
那么根据本实施例，可以确定第一小区组集合中的小区组包含的小区为Cell#0、Cell#1、Cell#2、Cell#3、Cell#4、Cell#5、Cell#6、Cell#7，那么可以确定这些小区构成的小区集合为{0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7}，也即第一小区组集合对应的小区集合为{0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7}，类似地，可以确定第二小区组集合对应的小区集合为{8,9}。
以上实施例主要考虑的是用于调度小区集合中多个小区的DCI的尺寸相同，实际上本公开的实施例也可以适用于调度小区组，也即用于调度小区组集合中多个小区组的DCI的尺寸相同。
本公开还提出了一种集合确定方法，由终端执行，所述方法包括：确定第一小区所属的第一小区组；确定所述第一小区组所属的第一小区组集合，其中，用于调度所述第一小区组集合中多个小区组的下行控制信息的尺寸相同。
根据本公开的实施例，终端可以确定第一小区组(并非特指某个小区组，可以是任意服务小区构成的小区组)所属的第一小区组集合，对于调度同一小区组集合中多个小区组的MC-DCI，终端可以确定具有相同的尺寸，从而按照相同尺寸进行盲检，从而降低盲检过程中需要考虑的DCI尺寸的数量，有利于降低盲检复杂度。
在一个实施例中，不同小区组集合包含的小区组不同。也即同一个小区组不会属于不同小区组集合，不同小区组集合包含的小区组是不同的。
在一个实施例中，用于调度所述第一小区组集合中多个小区组的相同格式的下行控制信息的尺寸相同。也即对于调度同一小区组集合中多个小区组的相同格式的MC-DCI，终端可以确定具有相同的尺寸，从而按照相同尺寸进行盲检，从而降低盲检过程中针对同一格式的DCI需要考虑的DCI尺寸的数量，有利于降低盲检复杂度。
在一个实施例中，所述方法还包括：
在第一小区接收网络设备发送的指示信息；
根据所述指示信息确定多个小区组以及所述第一小区所属的第一小区集合；
根据所述多个小区组中包含所述第一小区集合中小区的小区组，确定所述第一小区组集合。
在一个实施例中，终端可以在多个第一小区接收网络设备发送的指示信息，其中，所述指示信息可以指示接收指示信息是所在的第一小区对应的载波指示域的值与调度小区标识之间的关联关系，终端可以根据每个第一小区对应的关联关系，确定多个小区组。其中，所述关联关系具体可以是cif-InScheduingCell的值与调度小区标识之间的关联关系。
关于根据指示信息确定多个小区组的方式，与前文所述实施例类似，此处不再赘述；而关于根据指示信息确定第一小区所属的第一小区集合，则可以根据所述指示信息确定所述第一小区所属小区集合的标识，进而确定第一小区属于标识对应的小区集合，具体示例方式在前文实施例中也有所描述，此处也不赘述了。此处主要描述如何确定第一小区组集合。
例如基于前文所示实施例，小区组包括：
{0,1,2,3},{3},{5,6,7},{3,4,5,6},{8,9},{8}；
例如指示信息包含小区集合的标识为1，那么可以确定第一小区属于标识为1的小区集合，例如标识为1的第一小区集合为{0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7}。
进而可以确定多个小区组中包含第一小区集合{0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7}中小区的小区组，多个小区组中的4个小区组{0,1,2,3}、{3}、{5,6,7}、{3,4,5,6}包含第一小区集合中的小区，进而可以将这些包含第一小区集合{0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7}中小区的小区组划分为 一个小区组集合，也即{{0,1,2,3},{3},{3,4,5,6},{5,6,7}}。
例如指示信息包含小区集合的标识为2，那么可以确定第一小区属于标识为2的小区集合，例如标识为2的第一小区集合为{8,9}。
进而可以确定多个小区组中包含第一小区集合{8,9}中小区的小区组，多个小区组中的2个小区组{8,9}、{8}包含第一小区集合{8,9}中的小区，进而可以将这些包含第一小区集合{8,9}中小区的小区组划分为一个小区组集合，也即{{8,9},{8}}。
图10是根据本公开的实施例示出的一种集合确定方法的示意流程图。本实施例所示的集合确定方法可以由网络设备执行，所述网络设备可以与终端通信，所述网络设备包括但不限于4G基站、5G基站、6G基站等通信***中的基站，所述终端包括但不限于手机、平板电脑、可穿戴设备、传感器、物联网设备等通信装置。
如图10所示，所述集合确定方法可以包括以下步骤：
在步骤S1001中，确定第一小区所属的小区集合，其中，用于调度所述小区集合中多个小区的下行控制信息的尺寸相同。
在一个实施例中，用于调度多个小区的DCI可以包括用于调度多个小区上行数据的DCI，例如可以称作DCI format 0_3，可以用于调度所述小区集合中多个小区上行数据；还可以包括用于调度多个小区下行数据的DCI，例如可以称作DCI format 1_3，可以用于调度所述小区集合中多个小区下行数据。
在一个实施例中，用于调度多个小区的下行控制信息可以称作MC-DCI，其中，MC可以表示多载波(multi carrier)，也可以表示多小区(multi cell)。由于相对于传统(legacy)DCI，MC-DCI为新引入的DCI，其尺寸(size，也可以译作大小，是指占用的比特数)与传统DCI可以是不同的，这就导致尺寸的种类增多，而过多的DCI尺寸会导致终端盲检DCI的复杂度增加。
根据本公开的实施例，网络设备可以确定第一小区(并非特指某个小区，可以是任意服务小区)所属的小区集合，对于调度同一小区集合中多个小区的格式(format)的MC-DCI，网络设备可以设置相同的尺寸，从而使得终端对于调度同一小区集合中多个小区的MC-DCI按照相同尺寸进行盲检，以降低盲检过程中需要考虑的DCI尺寸的数量，有利于降低盲检复杂度。
也即对于属于相同集合的小区，网络设备在发送MC-DCI调度其中多个小区时，对于每次发送的同一个format对应的MC-DCI，可以设置相同的尺寸。从而对于 属于相同集合的小区，终端在接收到用于调度小区的MC-DCI时，对于同一个format对应的MC-DCI，终端期望按照相同的尺寸进行盲检，或者可以描述为对于属于相同集合的小区，终端在接收到用于调度小区的MC-DCI时，对于同一个format对应的MC-DCI，终端不期望按照不同尺寸进行盲检。
在一个实施例中，不同小区集合包含的小区不同。也即同一个小区不会属于不同小区集合，不同小区集合包含的小区是不同的。
以两个小区集合为例，小区集合#1包含Cell#1、Cell#2、Cell#3，小区集合#2包含Cell#4、Cell#5、Cell#6、Cell#7。
基于本公开的实施例，对于用于调度Cell#1和Cell#2的MC-DCI format 1_3，以及用于调度Cell#2和Cell#3的MC-DCI format 1_3，由于Cell#1、Cell#2、Cell#3都属于小区集合#1，在发送MC-DCI时，可以设置相同的尺寸；
类似地，对于用于调度Cell#4和Cell#5的MC-DCI format 1_3，以及用于调度Cell#5和Cell#6的MC-DCI format 1_3，由于Cell#4、Cell#5、Cell#6都属于小区集合#2，在发送MC-DCI时，可以设置相同的尺寸。
其中，对于不同小区集合而言，调度小区集合中小区的MC-DCI的尺寸可以是相同的，也可以是不同的，本公开对此不作限制。例如对于调度小区集合#1中多个小区的MC-DCI，和调度小区集合#2中多个小区的MC-DCI，尺寸可以相同，也可以不同，具体可以根据实际情况确定。
可见，根据本公开的实施例，对于同一个小区集合中的小区，无论MC-DCI调度集合中的哪些小区，网络设备都可以将MC-DCI的尺寸设置为相同，从而终端可以按照相同的尺寸盲检MC-DCI，而无需在每次接收到的MC-DCI时按照不同的尺寸盲检。
在一个实施例中，用于调度所述小区集合中多个小区的相同格式的下行控制信息的尺寸相同。
以上述小区集合#1为例，对于调度小区集合#1中多个小区的相同格式的DCI，终端可以按照相同的尺寸进行盲检。
例如网络一次发送DCI format 0_3，用于调度小区集合#1中Cell#1和Cell#2的上行数据，再一次发送DCI format 0_3，用于调度小区集合#1中Cell#2和Cell#3的上行数据。由于Cell#1、Cell#2、Cell#3都属于小区集合#1，针对上述两次发送的DCI  format 0_3，可以设置相同的尺寸，从而终端可以按照相同的尺寸盲检DCI format 0_3。
据此，对于调度同一小区集合中多个小区的相同格式的MC-DCI，网络设备可以设置相同的尺寸，从而终端可以按照相同尺寸进行盲检，进而降低盲检过程中针对同一格式的DCI需要考虑的DCI尺寸的数量，有利于降低盲检复杂度。
图11是根据本公开的实施例示出的另一种集合确定方法的示意流程图。如图11所示，所述方法还包括：
在步骤S1101中，向终端发送指示信息，其中，所述指示信息用于指示小区与小区集合之间的对应关系。
在一个实施例中，小区与小区集合之间的对应关系，可以是网络设备指示的，例如网络设备可以通过指示信息将小区与小区集合之间的对应关系指示给终端，进而终端可以根据小区与小区集合之间的对应关系确定第一小区所属的小区集合。
需要说明的是，网络设备所指示的对应关系中的小区，可以是网络设备根据需要选择的，也可以是网络设备根据预定义规则确定的，例如预定义规则规定的小区可以是任意小区，或者网络设备所支持的小区，或者终端所支持的小区，或者当前为终端提供服务的小区(包括主小区、辅小区等)，或者一个物理上行控制信道群组(PUCCH group)或物理上行控制信道小区(PUCCH Cell)中的小区。
在一个实施例中，所述小区集合中的小区属于相同的物理上行控制信道群组或物理上行控制信道小区。
在一个实施例中，所述小区集合中小区的数量，小于或等于用于调度多小区的下行控制信息所能调度小区的最大数量；或者，
所述小区集合中小区的数量，大于所述最大数量、或小于所述最大数量、或等于所述最大数量；或者，
所述小区集合中小区的数量，与用于调度多小区的下行控制信息对应的物理上行控制信道群组或物理上行控制信道小区所包含的小区的数量相同。
例如小区集合中小区的数量为n c，MC-DCI所能调度小区的最大数量为n max，可以限定n c小于n max；或者不限定n c的大小，也即n c既可以大于n max，也可以小于n max，也可以等于n max；或者可以限定n c与MC-DCI对应的PUCCH group或者PUCCH cell中包含小区的数据量相同。
在一个实施例中，所述最大数量为用于调度多个小区物理上行共享信道PUSCH的下行控制信息(例如DCI 0_X，X可以为0、1、2、3等)所能调度的小区的最大数量；或者，所述最大数量为用于调度多个小区物理下行共享信道PDSCH的下行控制信息(例如DCI 1_X，X可以为0、1、2、3等)所能调度的小区的最大数量。
在一个实施例中，所述方法还包括：在所述第一小区向所述终端发送下行控制信息，其中，所述下行控制信息用于调度所述第一小区所属小区集合中的一个或多个小区。
也即网络设备在第一小区向终端发送MC-DCI时，若确定第一小区属于第一小区集合，那么通过发送的MC-DCI仅用于调度第一小区集合中的一个或多个小区，据此，可以减少确定MC-DCI所调度小区时所考虑小区的范围，有利于简化确定MC-DCI所调度小区的过程。
在一个实施例中，所述指示信息包括但不限于无线资源控制RRC消息、媒体接入控制层控制单元MAC CE、DCI等。以下主要在指示信息为RRC消息的情况下，对本公开的技术方案进行示例性说明。
图12是根据本公开的实施例示出的又一种集合确定方法的示意流程图。如图12所示，所述向终端发送指示信息包括：
在步骤S1201中，在所述第一小区向所述终端发送指示信息，其中，所述指示信息用于指示所述第一小区所属小区集合的标识。
在一个实施例中，网络设备可以通过在第一小区向终端发送指示信息，以指示第一小区所属小区集合的标识。
例如网络设备在第一小区向终端发送的指示信息中包含小区集合的标识1，在第二小区向终端发送的指示信息中包含小区集合的标识2，可以指示第一小区属于标识为1的小区集合，以及指示第二小区属于标识为2的小区集合。
图13是根据本公开的实施例示出的又一种集合确定方法的示意流程图。如图13所示，所述向终端发送指示信息包括：
在步骤S1301中，在多个所述第一小区向所述终端发送指示信息，其中，在多个所述第一小区发送的指示信息用于指示多个小区组；
所述确定第一小区所属的小区集合包括：
在步骤S1302中，确定所述第一小区在所述多个小区组中所属的目标小区组，以及所述目标小区组所属的小区组集合；
在步骤S1303中，确定所述小区组集合对应的小区集合，作为所述第一小区所属的小区集合。
在一个实施例中，网络设备可以在多个第一小区向终端发送指示信息，其中，所述指示信息可以指示发送指示信息所在的第一小区对应的载波指示域CIF的值与调度小区标识之间的关联关系，网络设备可以根据每个第一小区对应的关联关系，确定多个小区组。其中，所述关联关系具体可以是调度小区内载波指示域(cif-InScheduingCell)的值与调度小区标识之间的关联关系。
其中，关联关系的作用在前文终端侧对应实施例中已有描述，此处不再赘述。而网络设备确定多个小区组的方式，与终端确定多个小区的方式是相对的，网络设备在发送指示信息之前就可以确定多个小区组，并通过指示信息指示给终端，而终端在接收到指示信息之后才能确定多个小区，此处也不赘述了。
图14是根据本公开的实施例示出的又一种集合确定方法的示意流程图。如图14所示，所述方法还包括：
在步骤S1401中，根据所述多个小区组确定至少一个小区组集合，其中，第一小区组集合中的第一小区组，至少与所述第一小区组集合中的第二小区组包含相同的小区。
在一个实施例中，网络设备通过指示信息指示多个小区组的情况下，可以根据多个小区组确定小区组集合，其中，可以将包含相同小区的小区组，划分在同一个小区组集合中，例如第一小区组第二小区组包含相同的小区，那么可以将第一小区组和第二小区组划分在同一个小区组集合中，例如划分在第一小区组集合。
然后可以在其他小区组中确定与第一小区组集合中任一个小区组包含相同小区的小区组，然后将确定的小区组也划分在第一小区组集合中。以此类推，可以完成第一小区组集合的确定。进而根据确定第一小区组集合的方式，确定其他小区组集合。
需要说明的是，同一个小区组集合中的第一小区组和第二小区组不同，第一小区组和第二小区组并非特指某个小区，而是一个小区组集合中的任意一个小区组。
例如以以下几个小区组为例确定小区组集合：
{0,1,2,3},{3},{5,6,7},{3,4,5,6},{8,9},{8}；
首先可以考虑其中任一个小区组，例如首先考虑小区组{0,1,2,3}，可以确定小区组{3}和小区组{3,4,5,6}与小区组{0,1,2,3}包含相同的小区Cell#3，那么可以将{3}、{3,4,5,6}、{0,1,2,3}这3个小区组划分为同一个小区组集合中，例如称作第一小区组集合。
进而再判断其他小区组中，与第一小区组集合中任一个小区组包含相同小区的小区组，可以确定小区组{5,6,7}与第一小区组中的小区组{3,4,5,6}包含相同的小区Cell#5和Cell#6，那么可以将小区组{5,6,7}也划分到第一小区组集合中。
而小区组{8,9}和{8}与第一小区组集合中的任一个小区组均不包含相同的小区，所以第一小区组集合确定完毕，可以继续确定第二小区组集合。例如按照上述方式可以确定第二小区组集合包含小区组{8,9}和{8}。
针对小区组，在图4所示实施例的情况下，例如网络设备确定Cell#1、Cell#2、Cell#3、Cell#4属于标识为1的小区集合(cell set id＝1)，以及确定Cell#5、Cell#6、Cell#7、Cell#8属于标识为2的小区集合(cell set id＝2)，那么在Cell#1、Cell#2、Cell#3、Cell#4发送的指示信息包含小区集合的标识为1，在Cell#5、Cell#6、Cell#7、Cell#8发送的指示信息包含小区集合的标识为2。
后续网络设备可以在调度小区向终端发送MC-DCI用于调度多个小区Cell#1、Cell#2、Cell#3、Cell#4的MC-DCI、也可以用于调度多个小区Cell#2、Cell#3，在调度小区发送的另一个MC-DCI可以用于调度多个小区Cell#5、Cell#6、Cell#7、Cell#8，也可以用于调度多个小区Cell#6、Cell#7。那么可以确定4个小区组{1,2,3,4}、{2,3}、{5,6,7,8}、{6,7}，以及两个小区组集合{{1,2,3,4}、{2,3}}、{{5,6,7,8}、{6,7}}。其中，不同的小区组集合，可以是不同小区发送的MC-DCI所调度的小区确定。
图15是根据本公开的实施例示出的又一种集合确定方法的示意流程图。如图15所示，所述确定所述小区组集合对应的小区集合包括：
在步骤S1501中，确定所述小区组集合中的小区组包含的小区构成的小区集合。
在一个实施例中，确定小区组集合对应小区集合的方式，可以是确定小区组集合中的小区组包含的小区，进而将确定的小区构成的集合作为小区组集合对应的小区集合。
以前述实施例所确定的第一小区组集合和第二小区组集合为例，其中，第一小区组集合为{{0,1,2,3},{3},{3,4,5,6},{5,6,7}}，第二小区组集合为{{8,9},{8}}。
那么根据本实施例，可以确定第一小区组集合中的小区组包含的小区为Cell#0、Cell#1、Cell#2、Cell#3、Cell#4、Cell#5、Cell#6、Cell#7，那么可以确定这些小区构成的小区集合为{0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7}，也即第一小区组集合对应的小区集合为{0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7}，类似地，可以确定第二小区组集合对应的小区集合为{8,9}。
本公开还提出了一种集合确定方法，由网络设备执行，所述方法包括：确定第一小区所属的第一小区组；确定所述第一小区组所属的第一小区组集合，其中，用于调度所述第一小区组集合中多个小区组的下行控制信息的尺寸相同。
根据本公开的实施例，网络设备可以确定第一小区组(并非特指某个小区组，可以是任意服务小区构成的小区组)所属的第一小区组集合，对于调度同一小区组集合中多个小区组的MC-DCI，网络可以设置相同的尺寸，终端可以按照相同尺寸进行盲检，从而降低盲检过程中需要考虑的DCI尺寸的数量，有利于降低盲检复杂度。
在一个实施例中，不同小区组集合包含的小区组不同。也即同一个小区组不会属于不同小区组集合，不同小区组集合包含的小区组是不同的。
在一个实施例中，用于调度所述第一小区组集合中多个小区组的相同格式的下行控制信息的尺寸相同。也即对于调度同一小区组集合中多个小区组的相同格式的MC-DCI，终端可以确定具有相同的尺寸，从而按照相同尺寸进行盲检，从而降低盲检过程中针对同一格式的DCI需要考虑的DCI尺寸的数量，有利于降低盲检复杂度。
在一个实施例中，所述方法还包括：
在第一小区接收向终端发送指示信息，其中，所述指示信息用于指示多个小区组以及所述第一小区所属的第一小区集合；
根据所述多个小区组中包含所述第一小区集合中小区的小区组，确定所述第一小区组集合。
在一个实施例中，网络设备可以在多个第一小区向终端发送指示信息，其中，所述指示信息可以指示接收指示信息是第一小区对应的载波指示域的值与调度小区标识之间的关联关系，终端可以根据每个第一小区对应的关联关系，确定多个小区组。其中，所述关联关系具体可以是cif-InScheduingCell的值与调度小区标识之间的关联关系。
关于根据指示信息确定多个小区组的方式，与前文所述实施例类似，此处不再赘述；而关于根据指示信息确定第一小区所属的第一小区集合，则可以根据所述指示信息确定所述第一小区所属小区集合的标识，进而确定第一小区属于标识对应的小区集合，具体示例方式在前文实施例中也有所描述，此处也不赘述了。此处主要描述如何确定第一小区组集合。
例如基于前文所示实施例，小区组包括：
{0,1,2,3},{3},{5,6,7},{3,4,5,6},{8,9},{8}；
例如指示信息包含小区集合的标识为1，那么可以确定第一小区属于标识为1的小区集合，例如标识为1的第一小区集合为{0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7}。
进而可以确定多个小区组中包含第一小区集合{0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7}中小区的小区组，多个小区组中的4个小区组{0,1,2,3}、{3}、{5,6,7}、{3,4,5,6}包含第一小区集合中的小区，进而可以将这些包含第一小区集合{0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7}中小区的小区组划分为一个小区组集合，也即{{0,1,2,3},{3},{3,4,5,6},{5,6,7}}。
例如指示信息包含小区集合的标识为2，那么可以确定第一小区属于标识为2的小区集合，例如标识为2的第一小区集合为{8,9}。
进而可以确定多个小区组中包含第一小区集合{8,9}中小区的小区组，多个小区组中的2个小区组{8,9}、{8}包含第一小区集合{8,9}中的小区，进而可以将这些包含第一小区集合{8,9}中小区的小区组划分为一个小区组集合，也即{{8,9},{8}}。
与前述的集合确定方法的实施例相对应，本公开还提供了集合确定装置的实施例。
