技术领域
本申请涉及通信技术领域，尤其涉及一种同步信号块的传输方法和通信装置。
背景技术
为了应对未来爆炸性的移动数据流量增长、海量移动通信的设备连接、和/或不断涌现的各类新业务和应用场景，第五代(5th generation，5G)移动通信系统应运而生。例如5G移动通信系统中定义了三大类应用场景：增强型移动宽带(enhanced mobile broadband，eMBB)场景、高可靠低时延通信(ultrareliable and low latencycommunications，URLLC)场景以及海量机器类通信(massive machine type communications，mMTC)场景。
示例性的，eMBB场景包括：超高清视频、增强现实(augmented reality，AR)、和/或虚拟现实(virtual reality，VR)等。这些业务的主要特点是传输数据量大、且传输速率高。URLLC场景包括：工业制造或生产流程中的无线控制、无人驾驶汽车或无人驾驶飞机的运动控制、无人驾驶汽车或无人驾驶飞机的远程修理、和/或远程手术等触觉交互类应用。这些业务的主要特点是要求传输的超高可靠性和低延时。此外，这些业务的特点还可以包括传输数据量较少、和/或具有突发性。mMTC场景包括：智能电网配电自动化、可穿戴设备的通信、和/或智慧城市等。这些业务的主要特点是联网设备数量多、和/或传输数据量较小。此外，mMTC场景中的终端设备可能需要满足低成本、和/或相对较长的待机时间的需求。
发明内容
本申请实施例提供了一种同步信号块的传输方法和通信装置，用于提高SSB的利用率。
为解决上述技术问题，本申请实施例提供以下技术方案：
第一方面，本申请实施例提供一种同步信号块的传输方法，包括：从网络设备接收第一同步信号块SSB，其中，所述第一SSB是第一终端设备的第一类型SSB；若所述第一SSB是第二终端设备的第二类型SSB，根据所述第一SSB确定第一控制资源集和/或第一公共搜索空间。
例如,第一终端设备是传统(Legacy)终端设备,第一类型SSB是Non-CD-SSB,第二终端设备是REDCAP终端设备,第二类型SSB是CD-SSB。在上述方案中，第一SSB对于第二终端设备和第一终端设备而言可以是不同类型的SSB，例如第一SSB是第一终端设备的第一类型SSB，且第一SSB是第二终端设备的第二类型SSB。因此第二终端设备和第一终端设备对第一SSB的类型识别结果是不同的，第二终端设备和第一终端设备对第一SSB的使用方式可以不同。例如第二终端设备可以根据第一SSB确定第一控制资源集和/或第一公共搜索空间，因此第二终端设备可以使用该第一SSB确定出的第一控制资源集和/或第一公共搜 索空间，从而提高了SSB的利用率。另外，若网络设备发送的第一SSB可以被第二终端设备用于确定第一控制资源集和/或第一公共搜索空间，则网络设备无需再发送其他的SSB用于指示第二终端设备确定第一控制资源集和/或第一公共搜索空间，因此网络设备也可以降低发送更多SSB的开销。
在一种可能的实现方式中，所述方法还包括：若所述第一SSB是所述第二终端设备的第一类型SSB，从所述网络设备接收第二SSB，根据所述第二SSB确定第二控制资源集和/或第二公共搜索空间。在上述方案中，第二终端设备可以从网络设备接收第二SSB，根据第二SSB确定第二控制资源集和/或第二公共搜索空间，第二终端设备获取到第二控制资源集和第二公共搜索空间之后，第二终端设备可以使用第二控制资源集和第二公共搜索空间确定PDCCH的候选资源，在PDCCH的候选资源中检测DCI、根据DCI获取到系统信息，使用该系统信息接入到网络中。
在一种可能的实现方式中，所述第一SSB包括第一指示信息，其中，所述第一指示信息为第一值时，所述第一指示信息用于指示所述第一SSB是所述第二终端设备的第二类型SSB。
在一种可能的实现方式中，所述第一SSB包括第一指示信息，其中，所述第一指示信息为第二值时，所述第一指示信息用于指示所述第一SSB是所述第二终端设备的第一类型SSB。
在上述方案中，第一指示信息在SSB中的实现方式有多种，例如第一指示信息可以是SSB中的新增字段，或者第一指示信息可以是SSB中的保留字段，或者第一指示信息可以是SSB中的原有字段。第二终端设备通过解读SSB携带的信息，可以获取到第一指示信息，实现网络设备向第二终端设备指示SSB的SSB类型的目的。
在一种可能的实现方式中，所述第一指示信息通过所述第一SSB中的公共子载波间隔字段、解调参考信号类型A位置字段、频率内重选字段、空闲字段和频率范围FR1对应的保留字段中的至少一个字段承载。在上述方案中，网络设备可以使用SSB中的一个或多个字段承载第一指示信息。例如，网络设备可以使用SSB中的公共子载波间隔字段、解调参考信号类型A位置字段、频率内重选字段、空闲字段和频率范围FR1对应的保留字段中的至少一个(或一个或多个)字段承载第一指示信息。例如网络设备可使用SSB中的上述一个字段承载第一指示信息，或者使用SSB中的上述多个字段承载第一指示信息。SSB中承载第一指示信息所使用的具体字段名称以及具体的字段个数不做限定。第二终端设备通过解析SSB中的公共子载波间隔字段、解调参考信号类型A位置字段、频率内重选字段、空闲字段和频率范围FR1对应的保留字段中的至少一个字段，可以得到第一指示信息。通过这种方法，可以在不增加信令开销的条件下承载第一指示信息。
在一种可能的实现方式中，所述第一SSB还包括第二指示信息，其中，所述第二指示信息用于指示第二SSB的偏移信息。在上述方案中，第二终端设备通过从第一SSB中获取到第二SSB的偏移信息，从而第二终端设备可以根据该偏移信息接收网络设备发送的第二SSB。第二终端设备通过第二SSB可以确定公共PDCCH的候选资源，在PDCCH的候选资源中检测DCI、根据DCI获取到系统信息，使用该系统信息接入到网络中。通过该方法，可以使得第二终端设备快速搜索到第二SSB，从而节省第二终端设备的功耗。
在一种可能的实现方式中，所述第二SSB的偏移信息包括：所述第二SSB的全局同步信道号GSCN相对于所述第一SSB的GSCN的第一偏移量信息；所述第二指示信息包括第一比特位和第二比特位，其中，所述第二比特位用于指示所述第二SSB的GSCN相对于所述第一SSB的GSCN的第一偏移量信息；所述第二SSB的GSCN与所述第一SSB的GSCN满足如下关系：

在上述方案中，第二终端设备可以从第一SSB包括的第二指示信息中获取到第一比特位和第二比特位，第一比特位和第二比特位在第二指示信息中的比特位置不做限定。其中，第一比特位指示了a的取值，n可以为调节系数。例如n的取值可以是预设的，例如，n为协议预定义的系数。第二比特位指示了第二SSB的GSCN相对于第一SSB的GSCN的第一偏移量信息，类似上述等式，第二终端设备可以获取到第二SSB的GSCN。
在一种可能的实现方式中，第一终端设备是传统(Legacy)终端设备,第一类型是Non-CD-SSB,第二终端设备是REDCAP终端设备,第二类型是CD-SSB。第一SSB中包括B1比特，B1比特指示SSB对REDCAP终端设备是否为Non-CD-SSB，例如B1＝1时表示该SSB对REDCAP终端设备为Non-CD-SSB，B1＝0时表示该SSB对REDCAP终端设备是CD-SSB。第一SSB中还包括B2比特，则B2可以表示以下两个含义：若B1＝1，即该SSB对REDCAP终端设备为Non-CD-SSB时，B2指示一个相对于传统终端设备的新SSB频点的偏移(offset)值，用于REDCAP终端设备跳转REDCAP终端设备的CD-SSB上。若B1＝0，即该SSB对REDCAP终端设备为CD-SSB时，B2用于指示CORESET#0和/或CSS，使REDCAP终端设备在所指示的时频范围内搜索下行控制信息，搜索到下行控制信息后，根据下行控制信息的指示获得系统信息。
在一种可能的实现方式中，B2比特用于指示REDCAP终端设备的CD-SSB的频率信息。例如B2比特表示一个GSCN的偏移量，B2可以是第二指示信息中的第一比特位和第二比特位。
在一种可能的实现方式中，利用B2比特实现向REDCAP终端设备指示CORESET#0和/或CSS，可以是如下方法中的任意一种：
方法一：CORESET#0为协议预定义的值，B2比特用于指示CSS。
方法二：CSS为协议预定义的值，B2比特用于指示CORESET#0。
方法三：B2＝B21+B22，B2比特中的B21比特指示CORESET#0，B22比特指示CSS， B21和B22为大于等于零的整数。

在通信系统中，例如NR移动通信系统或者其它系统中，相对传统的终端设备，例如eMBB终端设备，可以引入一种轻型(light)终端设备。该轻型终端设备也可以称为降低能力(reduced capability，REDCAP)终端设备。其中，eMBB终端设备可以是能够传输eMBB业务的终端设备。REDCAP终端设备可以存在于mMTC场景中，但不限于mMTC场景中。mMTC场景中可以包括但不限于仅包括REDCAP终端设备。相对REDCAP终端设备，该传统的终端设备可以是高能力终端设备或能力不受限的终端设备。本申请实施例中，该传统的终端设备可以被替换为未来引进的、相对REDCAP终端设备的高能力终端设备。示例性地，高能力终端设备和REDCAP终端设备的能力对比满足以下第一项至第九项中的一项或多项。
第一项：高能力终端设备支持的最大带宽大于REDCAP终端设备支持的最大带宽。例如，高能力终端设备支持的最大带宽可以是100兆赫兹(MHz)或200MHz，REDCAP终端设备支持的最大带宽可以是20MHz、10MHz或者5MHz。
第二项：高能力终端设备的天线数多于REDCAP终端设备的天线数。其中，该天线数可以是终端设备的实际天线数，或者是能够用于发送和/或接收的最大天线数。例如，高能力终端设备最高支持4天线收2天线发，REDCAP终端设备最高支持2天线收1天线发。或者，即使高能力终端设备的天线数等于REDCAP终端设备的天线数，但是在天线选择性传输上能力不同。例如高能力终端设备与REDCAP终端设备都支持2天线发送，但是高能力终端设备支持天线选择性传输，而REDCAP终端设备不支持天线选择性传输。以单天线端口数据传输为例，高能力终端设备可以实现单天线端口数据传输在2个发送天线上切换，该数据传输可以获得空间分集增益；而REDCAP终端设备的单天线端口数据传输只能在2个发送天线上同时发送，等价于1个发送天线的传输性能。
第三项：高能力终端设备支持的最大发射功率大于REDCAP终端设备支持的最大发射功率。例如，高能力终端设备支持的最大发射功率是23分贝毫瓦(decibel-milliwatt，dBm)或者26dBm，REDCAP终端设备支持的最大发射功率是4dBm至20dBm中的一个值。
第四项：高能力终端设备支持载波聚合(carrier aggregation，CA)，REDCAP终端设备不支持载波聚合。
第五项：高能力终端设备和REDCAP终端设备都支持载波聚合时，高能力终端设备支持的最大载波数大于REDCAP终端设备支持的最大载波数。例如，高能力终端设备最多支 持32个载波或者5个载波的聚合，REDCAP终端设备最多支持2个载波的聚合。
第六项：高能力终端设备和REDCAP终端设备在不同的协议版本中被引入。例如，在NR协议中，高能力终端设备是在协议的版本(release，R)15中引入的终端设备，REDCAP终端设备是在协议R17中引入的终端设备。
第七项：高能力终端设备和REDCAP终端设备的双工能力不同。高能力终端设备的双工能力更强。例如高能力终端设备支持全双工频分双工(frequency division duplex，FDD)，即高能力终端设备在支持FDD时支持同时接收和发送，REDCAP终端设备支持半双工FDD，即REDCAP终端设备在支持FDD时不支持同时接收和发送。
第八项：高能力终端设备的数据处理能力比REDCAP终端设备的数据处理能力更强。高能力终端设备相同时间内可以处理的数据更多，或者高能力终端设备处理相同数据时处理时间更短。例如，记终端设备接收到来自网络设备的下行数据的时间为T1，终端设备处理该下行数据，记终端设备向网络设备发送该下行数据的反馈的时间为T2，高能力终端设备的T2和T1之间的时延(即时间差)小于REDCAP终端设备的T2和T1之间的时延。其中，下行数据的反馈可以是应答(acknowledgement，ACK)反馈或者否定应答(negative acknowledgement，NACK)反馈。
第九项：高能力终端设备的数据传输的峰值速率大于REDCAP终端设备的数据传输的峰值速率。其中，数据传输包括上行数据传输(即终端设备可以向网络设备发送数据)，和/或下行数据传输(即终端设备可以从网络设备接收数据)。
在本申请实施例中，对于终端设备的不同能力，可以包括多种能力类型的终端设备。例如，第一类型终端设备和第二类型终端设备可表示不同类型的两种终端设备。例如，第一类型终端设备可以是用于工业无线传感网络(industry wireless sensor network，IWSN)的终端设备，第二类型终端设备可以是用于视频监控(video surveillance)的终端设备。例如，第一类型终端设备可以是REDCAP终端设备，第二类型终端设备可以是高能力终端设备。例如，第一类型终端设备可以是REDCAP终端设备A，第二类型终端设备可以是REDCAP终端设备B，其中，REDCAP终端设备A和REDCAP终端设备B的以下能力中的一种或多种不同：带宽能力、天线数、发射功率、CA能力、双工能力和数据处理能力。例如，第一类型终端设备可以是用于工业无线传感网络的终端设备，第二类型终端设备可以是用于视频监控的终端设备和/或eMBB终端设备。
本申请实施例中，终端设备可以通过初始接入过程建立终端设备和网络设备之间的连接，从而终端设备可以和网络设备传输数据。在一种可能的实现中，终端设备(例如传统终端设备)的初始接入过程包括：检测来自网络设备的主同步信号(primary synchronization signal，PSS)和辅同步信号(secondary synchronization signal，SSS)，从而接收来自网络设备的同步信号块(synchronization signal band，SSB)，其中，SSB中包括PSS、SSS和物理广播信道(physical broadcast channel，PBCH)；从PBCH中获取主信息块(master information block，MIB)；如果根据该MIB确定SSB是小区定义同步信号块(cell-defined-SSB，CD-SSB)，则根据该MIB的指示确定公共搜索空间(common search space，CSS)和控制资源集合(controlresource set，CORESET)#0，如果根据该MIB确定SSB是非小区定义同步信号块(non-cell-defined-SSB，Non-CD-SSB)，则根据该Non-CD-SSB的指示搜索CD-SSB，根据 搜索到CD-SSB的MIB的指示确定CSS和CORESET#0；根据CORESET#0和CSS确定用于传输物理下行控制信道(physical downlink control channel，PDCCH)的候选资源，该PDCCH中携带下行控制信息(downlink control information，DCI)；在PDCCH的候选资源中检测DCI；检测到DCI后，根据该DCI指示的调度信息接收物理下行共享信道(physical downlink shared channel，PDSCH)，该PDSCH中携带小区的系统信息，即根据DCI的指示获取小区的系统信息；根据系统信息向网络设备发起随机接入过程，建立终端设备和网络设备之间的连接。
本申请实施例中将上述初始接入过程中的使用MIB确定SSB为CD-SSB、确定CSS和CORESET#0、根据CORESET#0和CSS确定PDCCH的候选资源、在PDCCH的候选资源中检测DCI、根据DCI获取到系统信息的全过程合称为“通过SSB接入网络”、“利用或使用SSB接入网络”、或“根据SSB接入网络”等，后续内容不再对“通过SSB接入网络”、“利用或使用SSB接入网络”、或“根据SSB接入网络”的过程进行赘述。在上述过程中，当一个SSB对于终端设备(例如传统终端设备或REDCAP终端设备)是Non-CD-SSB时，终端设备无法根据该SSB进行随机接入过程，或终端设备无法使用或利用该SSB接入网络，需要根据该SSB再次搜索到CD-SSB后，才能进行随机接入过程。
在SSB部署时，网络设备可以在一个载波(carrier)上配置多个SSB。例如一个100兆赫兹(MHz)带宽的载波上，配置4个SSB，4个SSB中的1个SSB为CD-SSB，位于频段1，4个SSB中的其余3个SSB为Non-CD-SSB，位于频段2至频段4，其中，频段1至频段4可以位于该100MHz载波的不同频率位置，频段1至频段4互不重叠。网络设备可以给进入无线资源控制(radio resource control，RRC)连接态的终端设备配置带宽部分(bandwidthpart,BWP)，若配置给该终端设备的BWP包括频段2至频段4时，则终端设备可以测量频段2至频段4上的Non-CD-SSB，根据测量结果确定功率控制参数、判断是否进行小区切换等。处于非连接态(例如空闲态、或者非激活态)终端设备，在初始接入过程中，检测到Non-CD-SSB时，可以根据该Non-CD-SSB的指示，跳至频段1或其他配置了CD-SSB的频段上搜索CD-SSB。因此，目前的Non-CD-SSB的主要作用是使处于连接态的终端进行参考信号测量，或使非连接态的终端跳转到CD-SSB。
假设网络侧存在业务需求，需要REDCAP终端设备使用传统(Legacy)Non-CD-SSB所在的频段作为工作频段，且该频段不用于传统终端设备或高能力终端设备，例如该频段为工业专有网络。如果该传统Non-CD-SSB对于REDCAP终端设备也是Non-CD-SSB，则该Non-CD-SSB不能用于向REDCAP终端设备指示CORESET#0和/或CSS，即该Non-CD-SSB不能用于REDCAP终端设备获取系统信息，以及初始接入网络。因此网络设备需要广播更多的SSB用于REDCAP终端设备初始接入网络，存在广播SSB的资源的浪费问题。
为了解决上述技术问题，本申请实施例提出一种同步信号块的传输方法，适用于网络设备和多种类型终端设备之间的通信场景，REDCAP终端设备和传统终端设备需要通过不同类型的SSB来接入网络，以及需要根据不同类型的SSB接收各自需要的系统信息。
本申请实施例中对于一种终端设备(例如传统终端设备、eMBB终端设备、或URLLC终端设备等)而言是Non-CD-SSB的SSB，该SSB可以是另一种终端设备(例如REDCAP 终端设备)的CD-SSB，因此该另一种终端设备可以使用该一种终端设备无法用于接入网络的SSB进行随机接入，可以提高SSB的利用率。另外，网络设备广播的SSB可以被该另一种终端设备所使用，因此网络设备也可以减少广播更多的SSB，从而节省网络设备的功耗。
请参阅图1所示，为本申请实施例提供的网络设备和终端设备之间的一种交互流程示意图，在该交互流程中，图1所示的交互流程主要包括如下步骤：
101、网络设备向第二终端设备发送第一SSB，其中，第一SSB是第一终端设备的第一类型SSB。
网络设备可以管理一个或者多个(例如2个、3个或6个等)小区，第二终端设备可以在其中至少一个小区(例如第一小区)中和网络设备进行通信。以该至少一个小区是第一小区为例，网络设备可以在第一小区中广播第一SSB，第二终端设备可以在第一小区中搜索到第一SSB。例如，第二终端设备在协议规定的频点上或者可能存在SSB的频点上，通过检测PSS和SSS获取SSB。
第二终端设备和第一终端设备可以是两种不同类型的终端设备。为了便于描述，本申请实施例以下列情况为例进行描述：第二终端设备是REDCAP终端设备，第一终端设备是高能力终端设备，例如第一终端设备可以是eMBB终端设备。
其中，若第一SSB是第二终端设备的第二类型SSB，第一SSB用于向第二终端设备指示第一控制资源集和/或第一公共搜索空间。
本申请实施例中，网络设备可以配置第一SSB，该第一SSB对于不同类型的终端设备而言可以是不同类型的SSB，也可以是相同类型的SSB。例如第一SSB是第一终端设备的第一类型SSB，且第一SSB是第二终端设备的第二类型SSB。其中，第一类型SSB和第二类型SSB可表示的是不同类型的SSB。例如第一类型SSB可以是Non-CD-SSB，即第一类型SSB不指示CORESET#0和/或CSS。因而第一终端设备不能从第一SSB对应的频点接入网络，或者第一终端设备不能利用第一SSB接入网络。第二类型SSB可以是CD-SSB，即第二类型SSB指示CORESET#0和/或CSS。因而第二终端设备可以使用第一SSB接入网络。对于使用SSB接入网络的过程详见前述内容的描述，此处不再赘述。又如，第一类型SSB是终端设备不能够用于确定CORESET#0和/或CSS的SSB，第二类型SSB是终端设备能够用于确定CORESET#0和/或CSS的SSB。本申请实施例中对于第一类型SSB和第二类型SSB的实现方式不做限定，具体可以根据应用场景灵活配置第一类型SSB和第二类型SSB的实现方式。
需要说明的是，在本申请实施例中，同一个SSB对于不同类型的终端设备可以是不同的SSB类型，SSB类型可以包括第一类型SSB和第二类型SSB，不限定的是，本申请实施例还可以包括更多类型的SSB，例如第三类型SSB和第四类型SSB等等。
102、第二终端设备从网络设备接收第一SSB，其中，第一SSB是第一终端设备的第一类型SSB。
在本申请实施例中，第二终端设备可以接收由网络设备广播的第一SSB。第二终端设备可以解析该第一SSB，以获取到第一SSB携带的信息。第二终端设备可以判断该第一SSB的SSB类型。例如第二终端设备判断该第一SSB是否为第一终端设备的第一类型SSB，以 及第二终端设备判断该第一SSB是否为第二终端设备的第二类型SSB。基于前述对第一类型SSB和第二类型SSB的描述说明可知，该第一SSB对于不同类型的终端设备而言可以是不同类型的SSB，例如第一SSB是第一终端设备的第一类型SSB，且第一SSB是第二终端设备的第二类型SSB。
在第二终端设备确定第一SSB是第一终端设备的第一类型SSB、且第一SSB是第二终端设备的第二类型SSB的情况下，第二终端设备执行后续步骤103。
103、若第一SSB是第二终端设备的第二类型SSB，第二终端设备根据第一SSB确定第一控制资源集和/或第一公共搜索空间。
在本申请实施例中，当第一SSB是第一终端设备的第一类型SSB，且第一SSB是第二终端设备的第二类型SSB时，第二终端设备和第一终端设备可以对第一SSB执行不相同的处理方式。例如第一SSB是第一终端设备的Non-CD-SSB，第一终端设备可以使用该第一SSB跳转到新的CD-SSB上，或者利用该SSB进行测量。第一SSB是第一终端设备的Non-CD-SSB、且该第一SSB是第二终端设备的CD-SSB，第二终端设备可以根据第一SSB确定第一控制资源集和/或第一公共搜索空间。例如第一控制资源集可以是前述的CORESET#0，第一公共搜索空间可以是前述的CSS。第二终端设备在确定CORESET#0和CSS之后，可以根据CORESET#0和CSS确定PDCCH的候选资源，在PDCCH的候选资源中检测DCI、根据DCI获取到系统信息，使用该系统信息接入到网络中,因此本申请实施例可以提高SSB的利用率。
不限定的是，在本申请实施例中，第一控制资源集和第一公共搜索空间可用于确定公共PDCCH的候选资源位置。其中，公共PDCCH所调度的PDSCH上可以承载小区公共信息，或者承载一组终端设备的公共信息。本申请实施例提供的技术方案中，第一控制资源集和第一公共搜索空间可以被替换为其他名称的参数，该参数用于确定公共PDCCH的候选资源位置。
本申请实施例中，第一SSB是第二终端设备的第二类型SSB时，第二终端设备可以根据第一SSB确定如下至少一种：第一控制资源集和第一公共搜索空间。例如第一SSB指示第一控制资源集的信息，第二终端设备可以使用第一SSB确定第一控制资源集，第二终端设备可以根据协议的预先规定确定第一公共搜索空间。又如，第一SSB指示第一公共搜索空间的信息，第二终端设备可以使用第一SSB确定第一公共搜索空间，第二终端设备可以根据协议的预先规定确定第一控制资源集。又如，第一SSB指示第一控制资源集的信息和第一公共搜索空间的信息，第二终端设备可以使用第一SSB确定第一控制资源集和第一公共搜索空间。本申请实施例中，第二终端设备获取到第一控制资源集和第一公共搜索空间之后，第二终端设备可以使用第一控制资源集和第一公共搜索空间确定PDCCH的候选资源，在PDCCH的候选资源中检测DCI、根据DCI获取到系统信息，使用该系统信息接入到网络中。本申请实施例中，第一终端设备无法使用第一SSB接入网络，但是第二终端设备可以使用第一SSB接入网络，提高了第二终端设备对网络设备广播的SSB的利用率，降低网络设备广播更多SSB的开销。
举例说明如下，第一类型SSB是Non-CD-SSB，第二类型SSB是CD-SSB。第二终端设备使用第一SSB与网络设备进行同步，并根据第一SSB获取到系统信息块(system  information block，SIB)，第二终端设备可以根据SIB指示的信息向网络设备发起初始接入。对于通过SSB接入网络的详细过程详见前述的内容说明，此处不再赘述。
在本申请的一些实施例中，网络设备除了执行前述的步骤101之外，网络设备执行的同步信号块的传输方法，还可以包括如下步骤：
网络设备向第二终端设备发送第二SSB。
其中，第一SSB为第二终端设备的第一类型SSB，第二SSB用于向第二终端设备指示第二控制资源集和/或第二公共搜索空间。
本申请一些实施例中，网络设备可以广播第一SSB和第二SSB。其中，第一SSB是第二终端设备的第一类型SSB，第二SSB是第二终端设备的第二类型SSB。第一SSB不用于向第二终端设备指示控制资源集和/或公共搜索空间，而第二SSB用于向第二终端设备指示控制资源集和/或公共搜索空间。例如，第二SSB用于向第二终端设备指示第二控制资源集和/或第二公共搜索空间，第二终端设备可以使用该第二SSB确定第二控制资源集和/或第二公共搜索空间。第二终端设备可以使用第二控制资源集和第二公共搜索空间确定PDCCH的候选资源，在PDCCH的候选资源中检测DCI、根据DCI获取到系统信息，使用该系统信息接入到网络中。
需要说明的是，本申请实施例中，第二控制资源集和第二公共搜索空间用于确定公共PDCCH的候选资源位置。其中，公共PDCCH所调度的PDSCH上可以承载小区公共信息，或者承载一组终端设备的公共信息。本申请实施例提供的技术方案中，第二控制资源集和第二公共搜索空间可以被替换为其他名称的参数，该参数用于确定公共PDCCH的候选资源位置。
本申请实施例中，第一控制资源集和第二控制资源集可以相同，也可以不同，本申请实施例不做限制。第一公共搜索空间和第二公共搜索空间可以相同，也可以不同，本申请实施例不做限制。
在本申请的一些实施例中，第二终端设备除了执行前述的步骤102和步骤103之外，第二终端设备执行的同步信号块的传输方法，还可以包括如下步骤：
若第一SSB为第二终端设备的第一类型SSB，第二终端设备从网络设备接收第二SSB，根据第二SSB确定第二控制资源集和/或第二公共搜索空间。
其中，第二终端设备判断该第一SSB是否为第二终端设备的第一类型SSB。该第一SSB对于不同类型的终端设备而言可以是相同类型的SSB，例如第一SSB是第一终端设备的第一类型SSB，且第一SSB是第二终端设备的第一类型SSB。在第一SSB是第一终端设备的第一类型SSB、且第一SSB是第二终端设备的第一类型SSB的情况下，第二终端设备和第一终端设备可以对第一SSB的处理方式相同。例如，第一SSB是第一终端设备的Non-CD-SSB，且第一SSB是第二终端设备的Non-CD-SSB，则第一终端设备无法使用第一SSB接入网络，第一终端设备可以跳转到第一终端设备的CD-SSB(如第二SSB或者第三SSB)，第二终端设备也无法使用第一SSB接入网络，第二终端设备可以跳转到第二SSB。其中，第二SSB和第三SSB可以表示不同的SSB。此时，第二终端设备可以和第一终端设备跳转到相同的SSB，第二终端设备也可以和第一终端设备跳转到不相同的SSB。第二终端设备可以从网络设备接收第二SSB，根据第二SSB确定第二控制资源集和/或第二公共搜 索空间，第二终端设备获取到第二控制资源集和第二公共搜索空间之后，第二终端设备可以使用第二控制资源集和第二公共搜索空间确定PDCCH的候选资源，在PDCCH的候选资源中检测DCI、根据DCI获取到系统信息，使用该系统信息接入到网络中。
在本申请的一些实施例中，本申请实施例提供的SSB中包括第一指示信息，其中，
第一指示信息为第一值时，第一指示信息用于指示该SSB为第二终端设备的第二类型SSB；
第一指示信息为第二值时，第一指示信息用于指示该SSB为第二终端设备的第一类型SSB。其中，例如，该SSB是第一SSB或第二SSB。图2示出了第一SSB的结构示意图，第二SSB的结构可以与此类似，不再逐一说明。
具体的，第一指示信息在SSB中的实现方式有多种，例如第一指示信息可以是SSB中的新增字段，或者第一指示信息可以是SSB中的保留字段，或者第一指示信息可以是SSB中的原有字段。第二终端设备通过解读SSB携带的信息，可以获取到第一指示信息，实现网络设备向第二终端设备指示SSB的SSB类型的目的。以第一SSB为例，例如第一SSB中的原有字段对于第二终端设备是无效字段时，第一SSB中的原有字段可以用于承载第一指示信息。从而，本申请实施例可以在不改变第一SSB的原有结构的情况下，第二终端设备通过对第一SSB的原有字段的重新解读获取到第一指示信息，实现网络设备向第二终端设备指示第一SSB的SSB类型的目的。
具体的，第一指示信息的取值方式有多种，第一指示信息的取值可以是第一值，或者第二值。又如，第一指示信息的取值还可以是第三值，或者第四值等。第一指示信息的不同取值可以指示携带该第一指示信息的SSB为第二终端设备的不同类型SSB。具体的，以第一SSB为例，第一指示信息为第一值时，第一指示信息用于指示第一SSB为第二终端设备的第二类型SSB，例如第一值可以为0。第一指示信息为第二值时，第一指示信息用于指示第一SSB为第二终端设备的第一类型SSB，例如第二值可以为1。本申请实施例中，网络设备可以通过配置第一指示信息的不同取值指示SSB的不同类型，第二终端设备也可以通过从第一指示信息中解析出的不同取值确定该SSB的不同类型，从而第二终端设备可以根据该SSB对应于该第二终端设备的具体SSB类型执行相应的操作。
可选的，在本申请的一些实施例中，第一指示信息通过携带该第一指示信息的SSB中的公共子载波间隔(subCarrierSpacingCommon)字段、解调参考信号类型A位置(dmrs-TypeA-Position)字段、频率内重选(intraFreqReselection)字段、空闲(spare)字段和频率范围(frequency range，FR)1对应的保留字段中的至少一个字段承载。
示例性地，本申请实施例中，公共子载波间隔字段用于指示CORESET#0的子载波间隔，解调参考信号类型A位置字段用于指示解调参考信号在时隙中的位置，频率内重选字段用于当小区处于禁止状态时指示是否在新的频率上搜索小区，空闲字段无指示作用，FR1对应的保留字段用于指示当频谱为FR1时该字段处于保留状态，无指示作用。
具体的，网络设备可以使用SSB中的一个或多个字段承载第一指示信息。例如，网络设备可以使用SSB中的公共子载波间隔字段、解调参考信号类型A位置字段、频率内重选字段、空闲字段和频率范围FR1对应的保留字段中的至少一个(或一个或多个)字段承载第一指示信息。例如网络设备可使用SSB中的上述一个字段承载第一指示信息，或者使用 SSB中的上述多个字段承载第一指示信息。本申请实施例中，SSB中承载第一指示信息所使用的具体字段名称以及具体的字段个数不做限定。第二终端设备通过解析SSB中的公共子载波间隔字段、解调参考信号类型A位置字段、频率内重选字段、空闲字段和频率范围FR1对应的保留字段中的至少一个字段，可以得到第一指示信息。
本申请实施例中，SSB所在的频段可以属于不同的频率范围，例如SSB所属的频段可以属于FR1或者FR2，例如FR1对应的频率范围为450MHz-6000MHz，FR2对应的频率范围为24250MHz-52600MHz。FR1对应的保留字段是指SSB所在频段属于FR1时在SSB中是无用的字段，因此可以用于携带第一指示信息。若SSB所在频段属于FR2时，上述FR1中无用的字段被用于指示SSB索引。
在本申请的一些实施例中，第一指示信息为第一值时，第一SSB包括第三指示信息，其中，第三指示信息，用于指示第一控制资源集和/或第一公共搜索空间。
第一指示信息为第一值时，第二终端设备可以使用第一SSB确定如下至少一种：第一控制资源集、第一公共搜索空间。例如第一SSB包括第三指示信息，第三指示信息指示第一控制资源集的信息，第二终端设备可以根据第三指示信息的指示确定第一控制资源集，第二终端设备可以根据协议的预先规定确定第一公共搜索空间。又如，第三指示信息指示第一公共搜索空间的信息，第二终端设备可以根据第三指示信息的指示确定第一公共搜索空间，第二终端设备可以根据协议的预先规定确定第一控制资源集。又如，第三指示信息指示第一控制资源集的信息和第一公共搜索空间的信息，第二终端设备可以根据第三指示信息的指示确定第一控制资源集和第一公共搜索空间。本申请实施例中对于第三指示信息在第一SSB中的位置不做限定。本申请实施例中，第二终端设备获取到第一控制资源集和第一公共搜索空间之后，第二终端设备可以使用第一控制资源集和第一公共搜索空间确定PDCCH的搜索空间，在PDCCH的候选资源中检测DCI、根据DCI获取到系统信息，使用该系统信息接入到网络中。
在本申请的一些实施例中，第三指示信息通过第一SSB中的公共子载波间隔字段、解调参考信号类型A位置字段、频率内重选字段、空闲字段和频率范围FR1对应的保留字段中的至少一个字段承载。
具体的，网络设备可以使用第一SSB中的一个或多个字段承载第三指示信息，不限的是，网络设备可以使用第一SSB中的公共子载波间隔字段、解调参考信号类型A位置字段、频率内重选字段、空闲字段和频率范围FR1对应的保留字段中的至少一个字段承载第三指示信息。例如网络设备可使用第一SSB中的上述一个字段承载第三指示信息，或者使用第一SSB中的上述多个字段承载第三指示信息。本申请实施例中第一SSB中承载第三指示信息所使用的具体字段名称以及具体字段的个数不做限定。第二终端设备通过解析第一SSB中的公共子载波间隔字段、解调参考信号类型A位置字段、频率内重选字段、空闲字段和频率范围FR1对应的保留字段中的至少一个字段，以得到第三指示信息。
例如，网络设备可使用第一SSB中的上述一个字段承载第一指示信息和第三指示信息，或者使用第一SSB中的上述多个字段承载第一指示信息和第三指示信息，第一指示信息和第三指示信息在第一SSB中的位置不做限定。另外，本申请实施例中第一SSB中承载第一指示信息和第三指示信息所使用的具体字段不做限定。
在本申请的一些实施例中，若网络设备广播第一SSB，第二终端设备可以接收该第一SSB。例如第一SSB中携带第一指示信息，第一指示信息包括第二值时，第一指示信息用于指示第一SSB为第二终端设备的第一类型SSB，例如第一指示信息用于指示第一SSB为第二终端设备的Non-CD-SSB。此时，网络设备还需要广播第二SSB。第二SSB可以是第二终端设备的第二类型SSB。例如，第二SSB中可以包括第一指示信息，第一指示信息的值为第一值，用于指示第二SSB是第二终端设备的第二类型SSB，如CD-SSB。在这种实现场景下，如图2所示，第一SSB中还可以包括第二指示信息，第二指示信息用于指示第二SSB的偏移信息。第二SSB的偏移信息是第二终端设备确定第二SSB时需要使用的偏移信息。例如第二SSB的偏移信息可以是第二SSB相对于第一SSB的偏移信息。本申请的上述实施例中，第二终端设备通过从第一SSB中获取到第二SSB的偏移信息，从而第二终端设备可以根据该偏移信息接收网络设备发送的第二SSB。第二终端设备通过第二SSB可以确定公共PDCCH的候选资源，在PDCCH的候选资源中检测DCI、根据DCI获取到系统信息，使用该系统信息接入到网络中。
在本申请的一些实施例中，SSB的频率位置可以通过全局同步信道号(global synchronization channel number，GSCN)来表示。例如，第二SSB的频率偏移信息包括：第二SSB的GSCN相对于第一SSB的GSCN的第一偏移量信息。
一种可能的实现方式中，第二指示信息包括第一比特位和第二比特位，其中，

本实施例以网络设备为基站、第二终端设备为REDCAP终端设备(后续简称为REDCAP UE)、第一终端设备为传统终端设备(Legacy终端设备)为例，第一类型SSB具体可以是Non-CD-SSB，第二类型SSB具体可以是CD-SSB。传统终端设备无法通过Non-CD-SSB获得SIB1，无法从该小区接入网络。对于REDCAP终端设备，在一些场景中可以通过传统终端设备对应的Non-CD-SSB接入网络，例如该网络为私有网络或工业网络等。本申请实施例支持REDCAP终端设备通过Legacy终端设备的Non-CD-SSB确定CORESET#0和CSS、根据CORESET#0和CSS确定PDCCH的候选资源，在PDCCH的候选资源中检测DCI，根据DCI获取到REDCAP终端设备的系统信息，使用该系统信息接入网络。
如图3所示，本申请实施例提供一种同步信号块的传输场景，一个SSB对传统终端设备为Non-CD-SSB，REDCAP终端设备可以确定该SSB对REDCAP终端设备的SSB类型，并根据REDCAP终端设备的确定结果执行不同的步骤，具体的，当REDCAP终端设备确定一个SSB为传统终端设备的Non-CD-SSB时，REDCAP终端设备执行的流程包括如下步骤：
步骤S1：REDCAP终端设备确定接收到的SSB是否为传统终端设备的Non-CD-SSB。若该SSB是传统终端设备的Non-CD-SSB，REDCAP终端设备执行步骤S2。
可选地，该场景中还可以包括，传统终端设备确定接收到的SSB是否为Non-CD-SSB。若传统终端设备确定接收到的SSB是Non-CD-SSB，则传统终端设备根据PBCH中的指示信息，跳转到CD-SSB。
步骤S2：REDCAP终端设备确定接收到的SSB，对REDCAP终端设备是否为Non-CD-SSB，若REDCAP终端设备确定接收的SSB是Non-CD-SSB，跳转到步骤S3-1或步骤S3-2，若REDCAP终端设备确定接收的SSB是CD-SSB，跳转到步骤S4。
步骤S3-1：REDCAP终端设备跳转到与传统终端设备相同的CD-SSB上，通过该CD-SSB接入网络。对于通过SSB接入网络的具体过程请参阅前述内容介绍。
步骤S3-2：网络设备指示REDCAP终端设备的CD-SSB，REDCAP终端设备跳转到该CD-SSB，通过该CD-SSB接入网络。对于通过SSB接入网络的具体过程请参阅前述内容介绍。
步骤S4：网络设备指示REDCAP终端设备的CORESET#0和/或CSS，REDCAP终端设备根据指示获取SIB1，完成初始接入流程。
接下来对上述步骤中终端设备确定接收到的SSB是否为传统终端设备的Non-CD-SSB的方式进行说明。
在本申请实施例中，PBCH负载包括
Figure PCTCN2021109645-appb-000081
这A个比特用于承载MIB信息，MIB包括的各字段的含义和比特数如表1所示。
表1
Figure PCTCN2021109645-appb-000082
本申请实施例中，终端设备收到MIB后，依据k SSB判断传统终端设备的CSS是否存在，k SSB通过ssb-SubcarrierOffset字段计算，对于SSB所在的频段可以属于FR1，或者属于FR2，对于FR1和FR2，k SSB可以采用如下不同的计算公式：
SSB所在的频段属于FR1时，
Figure PCTCN2021109645-appb-000083
共5个比特(bits)，取值范围为0至31；
Figure PCTCN2021109645-appb-000084
通过PBCH的负载得到。“|”含义为比特连接，即kssb由5个比特组成，最高位是
Figure PCTCN2021109645-appb-000085
后四位是ssb-SubcarrierOffset。
SSB所在的频段属于FR2时，k SSB＝ssb-SubcarrierOffset，共4个比特，取值范围为0至15。
在本申请实施例中，终端设备根据k SSB判断是否为CD-SSB，以及判断出为Non-CD-SSB后根据MIB中的pdcch-ConfigSIB1字段获得CD-SSB的频点位置的方法，如表2、表3a和表3b所示。其中，表3a用于SSB所在的频段可以属于FR1时计算

表3b用于SSB所在的频段可以属于FR2时

Figure PCTCN2021109645-appb-000090
表3b
Figure PCTCN2021109645-appb-000091
其中，controlResourceSetZero表示CORESET#0，searchSpaceZero表示搜索空间0，本申请实施例中也可以表示公共搜索空间CSS。
需要说明的是，在上述表1中，若终端设备接收到的是Non-CD-SSB，则对于终端设备而言，公共子载波间隔(subCarrierSpacingCommon)字段、解调参考信号类型A位置(dmrs-TypeA-Position)字段、频率内重选(intraFreqReselection)字段、空闲(spare)字段和频率范围(frequency range，FR)1对应的保留字段是不需要解读的，或者解读了也没有相应的后续行动。本申请实施例中，可以使用subCarrierSpacingCommon、 dmrs-TypeA-Position、intraFreqReselection、spare来承载前述实施例中的如下至少一个指示信息：第一指示信息、第二指示信息和第三指示信息。
PBCH的负载包括A个比特，分别为
Figure PCTCN2021109645-appb-000092
这A个比特用于承载MIB，除了上述
Figure PCTCN2021109645-appb-000093
PBCH中还用
Figure PCTCN2021109645-appb-000094
共8个比特用于指示以下信息：
Figure PCTCN2021109645-appb-000095
是系统帧号的低4位，MIB中的系统帧号(systemFrameNumber)字段占用6个比特，这10个比特用于指示系统帧号。
Figure PCTCN2021109645-appb-000096
作为半帧指示
Figure PCTCN2021109645-appb-000097
指示SSB位于一个帧的前半帧还是后半帧。
Figure PCTCN2021109645-appb-000098
三个比特，根据SSB所在频段和子载波间隔的不同，按照如下规则进行使用：
在FR1频段的授权频谱上，当SSB的子载波间隔为15kHz时，SSB中的SSB数量最多为4，当SSB的子载波间隔为30kHz时，SSB中的SSB数量最多为8，
Figure PCTCN2021109645-appb-000099
是k SSB的最高位，
Figure PCTCN2021109645-appb-000100
保留。在FR2频段的授权频谱上，SSB中的SSB数量最多为64，
Figure PCTCN2021109645-appb-000101
是指示SSB索引信息的最高三位。
根据以上内容，
Figure PCTCN2021109645-appb-000102
中，根据SSB所在频段的不同，会有0至2个比特的保留字段。例如，SSB所在的频段为FR1频段时，存在保留字段，包括上述
Figure PCTCN2021109645-appb-000103
本申请实施例中，可以利用公共子载波间隔(subCarrierSpacingCommon)字段、解调参考信号类型A位置(dmrs-TypeA-Position)字段、频率内重选(intraFreqReselection)字段、空闲(spare)字段和频率范围(frequency range，FR)1对应的保留字段中的至少一个承载第一指示信息、第二指示信息、第三指示信息的至少一种。
具体的，SSB中包括PBCH，REDCAP终端设备从PBCH中获取MIB，通过MIB的指示确定该SSB是否为传统终端设备的Non-CD-SSB。可以利用PBCH或者MIB中的空余比特，和/或对PBCH或者MIB中部分字段的重解读来实现该指示。
为确保传统终端设备维持目前协议定义的功能和行为不变，PBCH或MIB部分字段的内容不做改动。如下表4，为MIB对传统终端设备和REDCAP终端设备指示的信息。在传统终端设备的Non-CD-SSB中，可以将MIB中的公共子载波间隔(subCarrierSpacingCommon)字段、解调参考信号类型A位置(dmrs-TypeA-Position)字段、频率内重选(intraFreqReselection)字段、空闲(spare)字段和频率范围(frequency range，FR)1对应的保留字段,用于上述步骤中网络设备发送给REDCAP终端设备的指示信息。
表4
Figure PCTCN2021109645-appb-000104
Figure PCTCN2021109645-appb-000105
需要说明的是，上述表4中的“无用”是指协议里该字段是无用的，“无指示意义”是指某些场景中该字段没有指示意义，例如当MIB指示该SSB为Non-CD-SSB时，MIB中的subCarrierSpacingCommon是没有意义的，因为该字段是用于指示传统终端设备的SIB所在信道的子载波间隔的，而该SSB没有对应的SIB。
对于第一指示信息、第二指示信息、第三指示信息的说明，详见前述实施例，此处不再赘述。
如表4所示，若SSB所在的频段属于FR1，则上述表4中的公共子载波间隔(subCarrierSpacingCommon)字段、解调参考信号类型A位置(dmrs-TypeA-Position)字段、频率内重选(intraFreqReselection)字段、空闲(spare)字段和频率范围(frequency range， FR)1对应的保留字段共占用6个比特，若SSB所在的频段属于FR2，则上述表4中的公共子载波间隔(subCarrierSpacingCommon)字段、解调参考信号类型A位置(dmrs-TypeA-Position)字段、频率内重选(intraFreqReselection)字段、空闲(spare)字段和频率范围(frequency range，FR)1对应的保留字段共占用4个比特。这些比特可以按照以下规则使用：
在上述6个比特或4个比特中，使用1个比特记为B1，B1指示SSB对REDCAP终端设备是否为Non-CD-SSB(用于上述步骤S2中的判断)，例如B1＝1时表示该SSB对REDCAP终端设备为Non-CD-SSB，B1＝0时表示该SSB对REDCAP终端设备是CD-SSB。
6个比特中除了B1之外，还剩余5个比特，4个比特中除了B1之外，还剩余3个比特，则5个比特或3个比特记为B2，则B2可以表示以下两个含义：
若B1＝1，即该SSB对REDCAP终端设备为Non-CD-SSB时，B2指示一个相对于传统终端设备的新SSB频点的偏移(offset)值。用于REDCAP终端设备跳转REDCAP终端设备的CD-SSB上。
若B1＝0，即该SSB对REDCAP终端设备为CD-SSB时，B2用于指示CORESET#0和/或CSS，使REDCAP终端设备在所指示的时频范围内搜索系统信息无线网络临时标识(system information-radio network temporary indicator，SI-RNTI)加扰的DCI，搜索到DCI后，根据DCI的指示获得SIB1等。
本申请实施例中，利用B2比特指示REDCAP终端设备的CD-SSB的频率信息。例如B2比特表示一个GSCN的偏移量，B2可以是前述的第一比特位和第二比特位。
本申请实施例中，利用B2比特实现向REDCAP终端设备指示CORESET#0和/或CSS，可以是如下方法中的任意一种：
方法一：CORESET#0为协议预定义的值，B2比特用于指示CSS。
方法二：CSS为协议预定义的值，B2比特用于指示CORESET#0。
方法三：B2＝B21+B22，B2比特中的B21比特指示CORESET#0，B22比特指示CSS，B21和B22为大于等于零的整数。
上述三种方法中，指示CORESET#0和/或CSS可以通过查表的方法实现。方法一和方法二可以作为方法三的特例，为统一描述，以下用X比特表示用于指示CORESET#0的比特数，用Y比特表示用于指示CSS的比特数，则X+Y＝B2，X和Y为大于等于零的整数。
以下介绍查表的方法确定CORESET#0和CSS。例如使用表5确定CORESET#0，使用表6确定CSS。
表5
Figure PCTCN2021109645-appb-000106
Figure PCTCN2021109645-appb-000107
本申请实施例中，可以定义一个如表5所示的表格，用X比特指示出前2 X行中的一行。例如2个比特指示出前4行中的一行，以指示出SSB与CORESET#0的时频复用方式、CORESET#0占用的资源块个数
Figure PCTCN2021109645-appb-000108
(Number of RBs)、CORESET#0占用的符号数
Figure PCTCN2021109645-appb-000109
(Number of Symbols)，以及SSB与CORESET#0之间的频域偏移量(Offset)。例如，SSB与CORESET#0之间的频域偏移量为SSB和CORESET#0二者最低频率点的资源块(resource block，RB)偏移量，由此确定出CORESET#0的频率资源位置。例如，网络设备指示的是表5中的第二行(index＝1)，则SSB和CORESET#0的复用样式为如表5中的第二列所示的样式1，CORESET#0占用的RB资源数为24RB，CORESET#0占用的符号数为2，SSB与CORESET#0的频域偏移量为2RB，则指示的CORESET#0频域位置和长度如图4所示。此外，不同类型的终端设备，可以使用表5所示表格中的不同的2 X行指示CORESET#0参数，例如第二终端设备获得的CORESET#0参数是用前2 X行中的一行指示的，第一终端设备获得的CORESET#0参数是用后2 X行中的另一行指示的。
此外，终端设备还可以利用如下表6所示的表格确定CSS。
表6
Figure PCTCN2021109645-appb-000110
Figure PCTCN2021109645-appb-000111
同样地，本申请实施例中，可以在协议定义一个如表6所示的表格，用Y比特指示出前2 Y行中的一行。例如3个比特指示出前8行中的一行。该行的信息可以指示出每个时隙中的搜索空间数量(number of search space sets per slot)、以及指示出参数O和M，使终端设备可以根据
Figure PCTCN2021109645-appb-000112
计算出n 0，进而可以得到CSS在SSB所在帧中的起始时隙，为第n 0+1个时隙；协议规定CSS占据连续两个时隙，即占据第n 0+1个时隙和第n 0+2个时隙。其中，i表示SSB的Index，μ是指示子载波间隔的参数，当μ＝0时，子载波间隔为15kHz，当μ＝1时，子载波间隔为30kHz，以此类推。此外，不同类型的终端设备，可以使用表6所示表格中的不同的2 Y行指示CSS参数，例如第二终端设备获得的CSS参数是用前2 Y行中的一行指示的，第一终端设备获得的CSS参数是用后2 Y行中的另一行指示的。
如上述表6所示，还指示出搜索空间在时隙中的第一个符号位置(first symbol index)，由此确定CSS，如图5所示。例如，网络设备指示的是表6中第三行(index＝2)，则对于 SSBindex＝1(i＝1)，SCS＝15kHz(μ＝0)，计算出n 0＝(2*2 0+1*1)＝3，即CSS从SSB所在帧的第4开始，占据连续两个时隙，在这两个帧的每帧中，以第1个符号为CORESET#0的起始符号，在CORESET#0确定的频率范围和符号范围内，搜索PDCCH，即搜索SI-RNTI加扰的DCI。
不限定的是，本申请实施例中，还可以同时使用表5和表6，以确定网络设备向REDCAP终端设备指示的CORESET#0和/或CSS。
目前的终端设备无法使用Non-CD-SSB获得SIB1。本申请实施例中REDCAP终端设备通过传统终端设备的Non-CD-SSB接入网络，以及REDCAP终端设备跳转到与传统终端设备不同的CD-SSB。通过确定出Non-CD-SSB的PBCH或MIB中对传统终端设备没有指示意义的信息比特，利用这些比特指示REDCAP终端设备是否要跳转，以及指示跳转的新SSB的GSCN或不跳转时的CORESET#0和CSS，达到不影响传统终端设备的行为，且支持REDCAP终端设备通过Non-CD-SSB接入网络的技术效果。
