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描述。
图1示出了本申请实施例提供的一种通信系统100，该通信系统100可包括网络设备101和终端设备102。
其中，网络设备101，可以为终端设备102提供无线接入有关的服务，实现下述功能中的一个或多个功能：无线物理层功能、资源调度和无线资源管理、服务质量(quality of service，Qos)管理、无线接入控制以及移动性管理功能。终端设备102可通过空口，接入网络设备101。在本申请实施例中，网络设备101与终端设备102可通过波束进行通信。
本申请提供一种波束质量测量的方法，具体为：网络设备101可通过第一波束向终端设备102发送第一参考信号，终端设备102可根据在第一波束上所接收的第一参考信号，生成第一波束的波束质量测量报告，且终端设备102反馈所述第一波束的波束质量测量报告至网络设备101。
在本申请的一示例中，终端设备102所反馈的第一波束的波束质量测量报告的格式可如下{第一波束标识，第一参考信号的接收功率}。可见，终端设备102所反馈的第一波束的波束质量测量报告中包括两部分内容，分别为第一波束标识以及第一波束上所接收第一参考信号的功率，空口开销比较大。
比如，以总共包括64个波束为例，每个波束的标识需占用6比特(log 264＝6)。同时在64个波束中，参考信号的接收功率最大的波束需占用7比特，其余63个波束的参考信号接收功率采用差分方式，均需占用4比特。也就是说，按照上述所规定的反馈波束质量测量报告的格式，在64个波束的情况下，其中一个波束的质量测量报告需占用13比特，其余63个波束的质量测量报告分别需占用10比特，如果终端设备反馈64个波束的质量测量报告，那么共总需占用13+10*63＝643比特，空口开销较大。
基于上述，本申请提供一种通信方法，该通信方法可减少终端设备所反馈波束质量测 量报告的开销，主要原理为：终端设备在通过第一波束接收到第一参考信号时，根据第一参考信号以及第一门限，确定第一波束的可用性，然后直接反馈第一波束的可用性至网络设备。相对于反馈第一波束标识以及第一参考信号的接收功率至网络设备，可减少空口开销。

如图2所示，本申请提供一种通信方法的流程，该通信方法主要用于下行参考信号的下行波束管理，在图2所示流程中，所述第一参考信号可具体为下行参考信号，所述第一波束可具体为下行波束，步骤S201和步骤S205的执行主体可为图1所示通信系统100中的网络设备101，也可以为支持网络设备实现步骤S201和步骤S205的装置，比如芯片或芯片系统，在本申请实施例中，以步骤S201和步骤S205的执行主体为网络设备为例进行说明。步骤S202至步骤S204的执行主体可以为图1所示通信系统100中的终端设备102，也可以为支持终端设备实现步骤S202至步骤S204的装置，比如芯片或芯片系统。在本申请实施例中，以步骤S202至步骤S204的执行主体为终端设备为例进行说明。
步骤S201：网络设备通过第一波束，发送第一参考信号。
在本申请实施例中，所述第一参考信号可为以下信号中的任意一个或多个：信道状态信息参考信号(chanel status information reference signal，CSI-RS)、同步信号、广播信道、广播信号解调信号、小区专用参考信号(cell specific reference signal，CS-RS)、UE专用参考信号(user equipment specific reference signal，US-RS)、跟踪参考信号(tracking freference signal,TRS)，下行控制信道解调参考信号、下行数据信道解调参考信号以及下行相位噪声跟踪信号。

在本申请实施例中，所述第一门限可为终端设备与网络设备预先约定的，设置在终端设备内的。或者，所述第一门限可为终端设备确定的，然后通知网络设备的。或者，所述第一门限为网络设备确定后，通知终端设备的。在本申请实施例中，终端设备可将所述第一门限携带在终端设备的能力上报信息中，或者，将所述第一门限携带在上行控制信息(uplink control information，UCI)中，或者，将所述第一门限携带在媒体接入控制控制元素((medium access control control element，MAC CE)中，然后通过上行控制信道传输，或通过上行数据信道传输。
在本申请实施例中，根据第一门限以及第一参考信号，确定第一波束性可用性的方式，可包括但不限示以下示例方式：
示例一：终端设备确定与第一参考信号相关联的质量参数，如果所述质量参数大于或等于所述第一门限，确定所述第一波束可用；或者，如果所述质量参数小于所述第一门限，确定所述第一波束不可用。
示例二：终端设备确定与第一参考信号相关联的质量参数，如果所述质量参数大于第一门限，确定所述第一波束可用；或者，如果所述质量参数小于或等于第一门限，确定所述第一波束不可用。

需要说明的是，在本申请实施例中，对于参考信号接收功率、参考信号接收质量、参考信号接收强度指示、信号干扰噪声比、信道质量指示、秩指示以及预编码矩阵指示等参数，值越大，代表波束的可用性越好，信道质量越好。对于块误码率，值越大，代表波束的可用性越差，信道质量越差。
可选的，终端设备比较测量得到第一参考信号相关联的质量参数与第一门限时，可以根据第一参考信号发送功率对测量得到的质量参数或者第一门限进行缩放。例如，第一门限是根据发送功率为X dBm的基准设定的，第一参考信号的发送功率为X+y dBm,在比较第一参考信号相关联的质量参数或者第一门限的大小时，可以将测量得到的质量参数降低一个与y相关的值再和第一门限比较，也可以将测量得到的质量参数和提高一个与y相关的值之后的第一门限比较。

步骤S204：终端设备发送第一反馈信息，所述第一反馈信息中可包括第一指示信息，所述第一指示信息用于指示所述第一波束的可用性。
在本申请实施例中，终端设备可采用与第一波束相匹配的第二波束，发送所述第一反馈信息，所述第一波束与所述第二波束的匹配关系为预先配置给所述终端设备的，所述第二波束与所述第一波束相同或不同。当然，在本申请实施例中，并不限定第一波束与第二波束的对应关系，比如，第二波束也可与第一波束无关。或者，所述终端设备可在UE能力上报的信息中携带所述第一反馈信息，或者，将所述第一反馈携带在上行控制信息(uplink control information，UCI)中，或者，将所述第一反馈信息携带在媒体接入控制控制元素(medium access control control element，MAC CE)中，然后通过上行控制信道传输，或通过上行数据信道传输。在本申请实施例中，并不限于发送第一反馈信息的方式。
在本申请实施例中，如果所述第一指示信息为第一值，可指示所述第一波束可用，如果所述第一指示信息为第二值时，可指示所述第一波束不可用，第一值与第二值不同。所述第一值与第二值可用1个二进制比特表示，也可用多个二进制比特表示，比如，可用二进制比特0表示第一波束不可用，可用二进制比特1表示第一波束可用，或者，可用二进制比特1表示第一波束不可用，可用二进制比特0表示第一波束可用。
在本申请的一示例中，所述第一反馈信息的信令格式可为媒体接入控制协议数据单元(medium access controlprotocol data unit，MAC PDU)，所述MAC PDU中可包括控制元素(control element，CE)，所述CE中可携带有所述第一指示信息。
比如，在本申请的一示例中，MAC PDU中可包括一个或多个媒体接入控制子协议数据单元(MAC subPDU)，每个MAC sub PDU中包括报文头(subheader)和MAC CE，其中，MAC CE可为定长的(fixed-sized)，也可为变长的(variable-sized)。比如，如图3所示，在MAC CE的一示例中，MAC CE中可包括n个MAC sub PDU，分别为MAC sub PDU1、MAC sub PDU2，依次类推，直至MAC sub PDUn。其中，MAC sub PDU1中可包括报文头以及MAC CE1，且MAC CE1可为定长的，所述MAC sub PDU2中可包括报文头以及MAC CE2，所述MAC CE2可为变长的，所述MAC sub PDUn中可包括报文头以及MAC CEn，所述MAC CEn为变长的。
在本申请的另一示例中，所述第一反馈信息的信令格式可为上行控制信息(uplink control information，UCI)，所述UCI中可承载有第一指示信息。比如，在本申请实施例中，总共反馈64个波束的可用性，且每个波束的可用性用1比特二进制表示，那么，可设置一64比特的定长UCI，在64比特的定长UCI中，每个比特代表一波束的可用性。
步骤S205：网络设备接收第一反馈信息。
由上可见，在本申请实施例中，终端设备所反馈的第一波束的波束质量测量报告中仅 包括第一指示，所述第一指示用于指示所述第一波束的可用性。相对于上述方案中，第一波束的波束质量测量报告中包括第一波束的标识以及第一参考信号的接收功率，可减小空口开销，提高空口利用率。
可选的，在本申请实施例中，针对上述图2所示的流程，在步骤S205之后，还可包括：
步骤S206：网络设备发送第二配置信息，所述第二配置信息用于指示可用波束集合或波束管理资源集合。
步骤S207：终端设备接收第二配置信息。
在本申请实施例中，网络设备可利用所接收的第一反馈信息，生成终端设备的可用波束集合或波束管理资源集合，然后通过上述第二配置信息，将终端设备的可用波束集合或波束管理资源集合，配置给终端设备。在本申请实施例中，所述可用波束集合或波束管理资源集合中可包括一个或多个可用波束。比如，在本申请的一示例，终端设备可在每测得一个波束的可用性时，即反馈该波束的可用性至网络设备，网络设备可配置该波束的可用性至终端设备，相应的，可用波束集合中包括一个可用波束。再如，在本申请的一示例中，终端设备可在测得多个波束的可用性后，一起反馈多个波束的可用性至网络设备，网络设备可配置多个波束的可用性至终端设备，相应的，可用波束集合中可包括多个可用波束。
比如，网络设备接收到4个第一反馈信息，所述4个第一反馈信息分别用于指示第一波束可用，第二波束不可用，第三波束可用，第四波束不可用。那么，终端设备的可用波束集合中可包括{第一波束，第三波束}，同理，终端设备的波束管理资源集合中也可包括{第一波束，第三波束}。
在本申请实施例中，当网络设备将上述可用波束集合配置终端设备后，如果终端设备的服务波束出现失败的情况，终端设备可利用上述可用波束集合中的波束进行波束失败的恢复。比如，仍沿用上述举例，终端设备的可用波束集合中包括{第一波束，第三波束}，当终端设备的当前服务波束失败时，终端设备可在上述可用波束集合中选择第一波束或第三波束进行波束失败的恢复，相对于终端设备无任何参考的选择波束进行失败的恢复，可提高失败恢复的成功率。
在本申请实施例中，当网络设备将上述波束管理资源集合配置给终端设备后，终端设备可在波束管理资源集合中选择波束进行监听，测量，相对于终端设备对所有波束(可包括不可用波束)进行监听和测量，可减少终端设备侧的功率消耗，降低终端设备侧实现的复杂度。
在本申请实施例中，网络设备可基于第二配置信息，为终端设备配置可用波束集合或波束管理资源集合，相对于网络设备没有任何参考的为终端设备配置可用波束集合或波束管理资源集合，可提高上行资源利用率，减少终端设备检测信号的负担。

在本申请实施例中，可为每个CSI资源集合均分配一个资源集合ID，每个CSI资源集合中可包括一个或多个资源，每个资源也设有自己的标识，一个资源集合最大的资源数目为一个CSI-RS资源集合中最大的非零功率CSI-RS资源的数目(maxNrofNZP-CSI-RS-ResourcesPerSet)。
波束可用性门限的配置信息：
在本申请实施例中，可为终端设备配置一个或多个门限，所述门限可以为RSRP、RSRQ、RSSI、SINR以及CQI中的一个或多个为度量。上述一个或多个门限中，至少一个门限是与波束失败恢复配置的门限相关的。
反馈波束可用性的配置信息：在本申请实施例中，反馈波束可用性的配置信息中可包括反馈波束可用性的上报的内容以及格式等，以及上波的资源配置等。关于上述第三部分内容，将在步骤S505中详细说明。
步骤S502：终端设备接收第一配置信息。
步骤S503：网络设备根据上述第一配置信息中的参考信号的配置信息，发送参考信号。
步骤S504：终端设备根据上述第一配置信息中的参考信号的配置信息，接收参考信号，并测量参考信号。
在本申请实施例中，通过对参考信号进行测量，可确定波束质量，所述波束质量可通过以下参数中一种或多种进行反馈：BLER、RSRP、RSRQ、RSSI、SINR、CQI以及PMI等。
可选的，网络设备也可确定参考信号的测量方法，比如，网络设备如果要求终端设备上报RSRP，那么终端设备可仅测量终端设备的RSRP即可。
步骤S505：终端设备反馈波束可用性消息。
在本申请实施例中，终端设备可通过1个二进制比特，反馈每个波束的可用性，比如， 当波束的质量满足波束可用性门限时，可标记为1，当波束的质量未满足波束可用性门限时，可标识为0。
比如，当整个CSI资源信合中可包括8个CSI-RS集合，按照CSI-RS标识的从大到小的顺序，分别为1，4，6，9，13，15，24，63。其中，标识为1,9,13,63的资源，UE测量满足门限，UE可以反馈8比特的bitmap{10011001}，UE反馈的信息说明按资源标识从小到大的顺序，第1,4,5,8个资源满足门限。
在本申请实施例中，终端设备反馈波束可用性的信令格式可以为MAC-CE，也可以为DCI。
比如，当UE反馈的信令格式为MAC PDU时，如图3所示，该MAC PDU中可包括报文头以及MCE-CE，所述报文头可以示例性的称为波束可用性上报，当一个资源集合中包括64个CSI-RS，即一次性测试64个波束的可用性时，MAC-CE示例性的可如图6所示，所述MAC-CE中可包括8个Oct，一个Oct为一个字节，包括8比特，图4中的一个小方格代表一比特，代表一个波束的可用性。图6所示的MAC-CE可为一定长的64比特的MAC CE，所述C的值可为1或0，C的下标表示资源集合中从小到大排序的资源标识。
在本申请实施例中，UE反馈波束可用性的信令格式可以为UCI，所述UCI可为定长的或变长的。以64比特的定长UCI为例，第一个比特表示资源集合中的从小到大排序的第一个资源标识，且当标识对应的波束质量满足门限时，取值为1，第二个比特表示资源集合中的从小到大排序的第二个资源标识，且当标识对应的波束质量不满足门限时，取值为0，依次类推，直至第六十四个比特。
在本申请实施例中，可选的，终端设备的波束上报可与下述方式相结合。比如，波束质量的一种上报方式为{波束#1标识、波束#1的RSRP}。本申请实施例中的64比特的bitmap可以反馈其他波束与波束#1的相关性高低，例如“1”表示和波束#1相关性高，“0”表示和波束#1相关性低。又例如，本申请实施例的64比特的bitmap可以反馈其他波束对波束#1的干扰程度，例如，“1”表示对波束#1干扰高，“0”表示对波束#1干扰低。其他例子还包括，该波束和波束#1是否适合构成多波束传输信道，该波束和波束#1是否适合构成高鲁棒性传输组合等。
上述方法还可以自然的扩展到终端设备通过现有上报方式上了多个波束的情况，例如，UE上报了{波束#1+波束#1的L1-RSRP}{波束#2+波束#2和波束#1的差分L1-RSRP}。本实施例的64比特bitmap可以自然的扩展到两个64比特的bitmap，分别对应波束#1和波束#2的情况。这两个bitmap可以分组上报或者分次上报。
可选的，终端设备可以通过M个比特来反馈每个波束的可用性。如果501中配置的波束可用性门限有M个时，每个比特可以对应一个门限，例如当门限有两个时，每个波束可以反馈两个比特，第一个比特表示波束质量是否满足第一门限，第二个比特表示波束质量是否满足第二门限。
可选的，终端设备可以通过M个比特来反馈每个波束的可用性。例如波束质量分为N个区间，UE可以通过M＝{上取整log2(N)}个比特来反馈每个波束质量属于哪个区间。区间的划分可以根据绝对的波束质量，例如RSRP按-100dBm到-50dBm为区间1，-150dBm到-100dBm为区间2。也可以根据相对的波束质量，例如与最强波束相差0dB到10dB为区间1，与最强波束相差10dB到20dB为区间2。
可选的，bitmap的长度可以是资源集合的大小，也可以是资源集合中最大允许的资源 数目，例如64。bitmap的长度可以是资源集合的大小*M，也可以是资源集合中最大允许的资源数*M。bitmap中每个比特对应的资源标识的顺序是可配的，例如从小到大或者从大到小。
在本申请实施全名，并不限于bitmap反馈波束的可用性，还可使用显式的资源标识编号，或者逻辑的资源标识编号等方式，反馈波束的可用性。
步骤S506：网络设备接收波束可用性消息。
在本申请实施例中，网络设备在接收到波束可用性消息后，可更新配置，从而更合理的利用资源。
比如，网络设备可以将终端设备的可用资源(例如，反馈为1的资源)的全部或者部分配置为新的波束管理资源集合。
或者，网络设备可以不将不可用的资源(例如，反馈为0的资源)配置到新的波束管理资源集合。
或者，网络设备可以将可用的资源(例如，反馈为1的资源)的全部或者部分配置为新的可用波束的资源集合。
或者，网络设备可以不将不可用的资源(例如，反馈为0的资源)配置到新的可用波束的资源集合。
或者，网络设备可以将可用的资源(例如，反馈为1的资源)的全部或者部分配置为波束指示(例如TCI)的集合。
或者，网络设备可以不将不可用的资源(例如，反馈为0的资源)配置到波束指示(例如TCI)的集合。
或者，网络可以将终端设备的不可用资源(例如，反馈为0的资源)用来服务其它终端设备，从而不对上述终端设备造成干扰。
在本申请实施例中，可低开销的反馈每个波束的可用性，提供网络设备侧更多的信息，有利于网络设备侧合理的配置波束相关的资源。
