本申请的说明书和权利要求书中的术语“第一”、“第二”等是用于区别类似的对象,而不用于描述特定的顺序或先后次序。应该理解这样使用的数据在适当情况下可以互换,以便本申请的实施例能够以除了在这里图示或描述的那些以外的顺序实施,且“第一”、“第二”所区别的对象通常为一类,并不限定对象的个数,例如第一对象可以是一个,也可以是多个。此外,说明书以及权利要求中“和/或”表示所连接对象的至少其中之一,字符“/”一般表示前后关联对象是一种“或”的关系。
值得指出的是,本申请实施例所描述的技术不限于长期演进型(Long Term Evolution,LTE)/LTE的演进(LTE-Advanced,LTE-A)系统,还可用于其他无线通信系统,诸如码分多址(Code Division Multiple Access,CDMA)、时分多址(Time Division Multiple Access,TDMA)、频分多址(Frequency Division Multiple Access,FDMA)、正交频分多址(Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access,OFDMA)、单载波频分多址(Single-carrier Frequency-Division Multiple Access,SC-FDMA)和其他系统。本申请实施例中的术语“系统”和“网络”常被可互换地使用,所描述的技术既可用于以上提及的系统和无线电技术,也可用于其他系统和无线电技术。然而,以下描述出于示例目的描述了新空口(New Radio,NR)系统,并且在以下大部分描述中使用NR术语,尽管这些技术也可应用于NR系统应用以外的应用,如第6代(6th Generation,6G)通信系统。

为了方便理解,以下对本申请实施例涉及的一些内容进行说明:
一、关于波束测量和报告。
模拟波束赋形是全带宽发射的,并且每个高频天线阵列的面板上每个极化方向阵元仅能以时分复用的方式发送模拟波束。模拟波束的赋形权值是通过调整射频前端移相器等设备的参数来实现。
通常是使用轮询的方式进行模拟波束赋形向量的训练,即每个天线面板每个极化方向的阵元以时分复用方式依次在约定时间发送训练信号(即候选的赋形向量),终端经过测量后反馈波束报告,供网络设备在下一次传输业务时采用该训练信号来实现模拟波束发射。波束报告的内容通常包括最优的若干个发射波束标识以及测量出的每个发射波束的接收功率。
在做波束测量时,网络设备会配置参考信号(Reference Signal,RS)资源集合(resource set),其中包括至少一个参考信号资源(resource),例如同步信号块(Synchronization Signal and PBCH block,SSB)resource或信道状态信息参考信号(Channel State Information Reference Signal,CSI-RS)。UE测量每个RS resource的层1参考信号接收功率(L1-Reference Signal Received Power,L1-RSRP)/层1信号与干扰加噪声比(L1-Signal-to-Noise and Interference Ratio,L1-SINR),并将最优的至少一个测量结果上报给网络,上报内容包括SSB资源指示(Resource Indicator,RI)或CSI-RS资源指示(CRI)、及L1-RSRP/L1-SINR。该报告内容反映了至少一个最优的波束及其质量,供网络确定用来与UE传输信道或信号的波束信息。
二、关于波束指示(beam indication)机制。
在经过波束测量和波束报告后,网络可以对下行与上行链路的信道或参考信号做波束指示,用于网络与UE之间建立波束链路,实现信道或参考信号的传输。
对于物理下行控制信道(Physical downlink control channel,PDCCH)的波束指示,网络使用无线资源控制(Radio Resource Control,RRC)信令为每个控制资源集(Control resource set,CORESET)配置K个传输配置指示(Transmission Configuration Indication,TCI)状态state,当K>1时,由媒体接入控制控制单元(Medium Access Control Control Element,MAC CE)指 示或激活1个TCI state,当K=1时,不需要额外的MAC CE命令。UE在监听PDCCH时,对CORESET内全部搜索空间(search space)使用相同准共址(Quasi-colocation,QCL),即使用相同的TCI state来监听PDCCH。该TCI状态中的RS(例如周期CSI-RS resource、半持续CSI-RS resource、SSB等)与UE专用(specific)的PDCCH解调参考信号(Demodulation Reference Signal,DMRS)端口(port)是空间QCL的。UE根据该TCI状态即可获知使用哪个接收波束来接收PDCCH。
对于物理下行共享信道(Physical downlink shared channel,PDSCH)的波束指示,网络通过RRC信令配置M个TCI state,再使用MAC CE命令激活2N个TCI state,然后通过DCI的N-bit TCI域(field)来通知TCI状态,该TCI状态中的RS与要调度的PDSCH的DMRS端口是QCL的。UE根据该TCI状态即可获知使用哪个接收波束来接收PDSCH。
对于CSI-RS的波束指示,当CSI-RS类型为周期CSI-RS时,网络通过RRC信令为CSI-RS resource配置QCL信息。当CSI-RS类型为半持续CSI-RS时,网络通过MAC CE命令来从RRC配置的CSI-RS resource set中激活一个CSI-RS resource时指示其QCL信息。当CSI-RS类型为非周期CSI-RS时,网络通过RRC信令为CSI-RS resource配置QCL,并使用下行控制信息(Downlink Control Information,DCI)来触发CSI-RS。
对于物理上行控制信道(Physical Uplink Control Channel,PUCCH)的波束指示,网络使用RRC信令通过参数PUCCH-SpatialRelationInfo为每个PUCCH resource配置空间关系信息(spatial relation information),当为PUCCH resource配置的spatial relation information包含多个时,使用MAC-CE指示或激活其中一个spatial relation information。当为PUCCH resource配置的spatial relation information只包含1个时,不需要额外的MAC CE命令。
对于物理上行共享信道(Physical Uplink Shared Channel,PUSCH)的波束指示,PUSCH的spatial relation信息是当PDCCH承载的DCI调度PUSCH时,DCI中的探测参考信号资源指示(Sounding Reference Signal,SRI)field的每个SRI码点(codepoint)指示一个SRI,该SRI用于指示PUSCH的spatial relation information。
对于探测参考信号(Sounding Reference Signal Resource Indicator,SRS)的波束指示,当SRS类型为周期SRS时,网络通过RRC信令为SRS resource配置spatial relation information。当SRS类型为半持续SRS时,网络通过MAC CE命令来从RRC配置的一组spatial relation information中激活一个。当SRS类型为非周期SRS时,网络通过RRC信令为SRS resource配置spatial relation information,还可以使用MAC CE命令更新非周期SRS resource的spatial relation information。
三、关于多收发点(Transmission Reception Point,TRP)场景中的波束指示。
多(multi)TRP场景中,根据控制信息的发送方式,可以区分为单(single)DCI和multi-DCI,前者是在一个TRP发送DCI来调度多个TRP上的数据传输,后者是允许在多个TRP发送DCI来分别调度在各自TRP上的数据传输。
在DCI调度PDSCH时,当DCI与PDSCH之间的调度间隔(scheduling offset)小于或等于预设门限时,需要使用默认波束来传输PDSCH。该调度间隔可以称为时间偏移(time offset)。
对于基于多DCI的多TRP或者多天线面板传输(multi-DCI based multi-TRP/panel transmission),如果配置了TRP标识信息(例如为CORESETPoolIndex),当上述调度间隔小于或等于预设门限时,则UE假设PDSCH DMRS ports与配置了相同CORESETPoolIndex值的最低索引的控制资源集(CORESET with lowest index)的PDCCH的QCL信息中的RS是QCL的。
可选地,上述的CORESET with lowest index是在最新时隙(latest slot)中与各自CORESETPoolIndex值对应的需UE监听的CORESET中的CORESET with lowest index。其中,latest slot是指在服务小区激活(serving cell active)带宽部分(Bandwidth Part,BWP)中存在至少一个关联了相应CORESETPoolIndex的CORESET的slot。
如果UE不支持multi-DCI based multi-TRP/panel transmission,则无论CORESETPoolIndex怎样配置,CORESET with lowest index是在latest slot中需UE监听的CORESET中的CORESET with lowest index,而与 CORESETPoolIndex无关。
基于单DCI的多TRP或者多天线面板传输(single-DCI based Multi-TRP/panel transmission)。当上述调度间隔小于或等于预设门限时,且接收到UE specific PDSCH的TCI state的激活命令之后,则UE假设PDSCH DMRS ports使用默认(default)TCI state(s)的QCL参数。即,在用于PDSCH的激活的TCI state中,从包含2个不同TCI state的TCI codepoint中选择lowest codepoint对应的TCI state。
可选地,上述波束信息可以称为spatial relation信息、空域发送滤波器(spatial domain transmission filter)信息、空域滤波器(spatial filter)信息、TCI state信息、QCL信息或QCL参数等。其中,下行波束信息通常可使用TCI state信息或QCL信息表示。上行波束信息通常可使用spatial relation信息表示。
可选地,上述天线面板可以称为天线组、天线端口组、天线集合、天线端口集合、波束集合、波束子集合、天线阵列、天线端口阵列、天线子阵列、天线端口子阵列、逻辑实体、实体或天线实体等。
下面结合附图,通过具体的实施例及其应用场景对本申请实施例提供的波束处理方法进行详细地说明。
请参见图2,图2是本申请实施例提供的一种波束处理方法的流程图,该方法由终端执行,如图2所示,包括以下步骤:

步骤202,接收指示信息,所述指示信息用于指示所述对象组的波束信息,所述波束信息属于所述对象组的所述候选波束信息集。
本申请实施例中,候选波束信息集包括多个候选的公共波束(common beam)的波束信息集合。网络设备可以为每一对象组配置候选波束集,其中,每一对象组可以使用独立的候选波束集,也可以是多个对象组共享一个候选波束集,在此不做进一步的限定。
需要说明的是,当上行和下行采用同一个波束信息,此时可以理解为所 有的对象都划分为同一对象组。当然也可以理解为,未对所有的对象进行分组,且所有的对象采用同一个公共波束的波束信息。指示对象组的波束信息可以理解为指示一个或者多个对象组的波束信息,指示对象组的波束信息可以理解为指示对象组的common beam的波束信息,也可以理解为指示目标对象组的common beam,该对象组可以利用该common beam进行上行或者下行传输。
当进行了对象分组时,每一对象组可以仅包括信道,也可以仅包括参考信号,还可以同时包括信道和参考信号,该信道可以理解为控制信道,例如可以PDCCH或PUCCH。其中,对象组中的某一对象可以用于上行链路或用于下行链路,当对象用于上行链路时,可以理解为用于上行链路的对象,也可以称之为用于上行传输的对象;当对象用于下行链路时,可以理解为用于下行链路的对象,也可以称之为用于下行传输的对象。在一个对象组中,可以仅包括上行链路的对象,也可以仅包括下行链路的对象,还可以同时包括上行链路的对象和下行链路的对象,在此不做进一步的限定。
上述指示信息指示的波束信息,可以理解为公共波束的波束信息。例如,在指示某一对象组的波束信息后,该对象组内的所有对象均可使用该波束信息。
本申请实施例通过第一配置信息配置候选波束信息集,所述候选波束信息集包括N个对象组的候选波束信息集,至少一个所述对象组包括至少两个对象,每一所述对象为信道或参考信号;通过指示信息,所述指示信息用于指示所述对象组的波束信息,所述波束信息属于所述对象组的所述候选波束信息集。这样,可以将多个信道和参考信号划分为一个或多个对象组,以对象组的波束信息进行配置或指示,从而降低了波束指示的信令开销。

条件5,所述N个对象组中每一所述对象组仅包括上行链路的对象;
条件6,所述N个对象组中每一所述对象组仅包括下行链路的对象。
针对上述条件1,可以理解为:只有一个对象组,或者没有对象组。其中,用于上行链路的对象和用于下行链路的对象共用相同的波束信息,且波束信息为一个。
针对上述条件2,可以理解为:将多个对象划分了多个对象组,其中部分或者全部对象组内包括用于上行链路的对象和用于下行链路的对象,该对象组内用于上行链路的对象和用于下行链路的对象共用同一波束信息。当全部对象组内包括用于上行链路的对象和用于下行链路的对象时,可以理解上行链路的对象和下行链路使用相同的波束信息,且波束信息多于1个,其中,每一对象组对应一个波束信息。
针对上述条件3,可以理解为:按照链路方向将多个对象划分为两个对象组,将所有用于上行链路的对象划分到一个对象组中,将所有用于下行链路的对象划分到一个对象组中。此时,可以理解为上行链路的对象和下行链路 的对象分别使用各自的波束信息,且上行链路的对象使用同一波束信息,下行链路的对象使用同一波束信息。

可选地,指示控制资源集的波束信息可以理解为指示控制资源集承载的控制信道的波束信息,或者指示控制资源集承载的控制信道关联的目标对象的波束信息。以下对以上述第一对象组为例对第二类控制资源集的波束信息的指示方式进行详细说明。
可选地,所述指示信息包括第四TCI state,所述第四TCI state用于确定所述第一对象组的波束信息,所述第四TCI state承载于目标控制资源集或MAC CE命令。

所述目标控制资源集承载的控制信道不属于所述N个对象组,且所述目标控制资源集对应的波束信息由MAC CE命令指示。
本申请实施例中,上述第二对象组可以理解为按照上述第二类控制资源集中的任一控制资源集进行分组划分得到的对象组,也可以理解为按照其他方式进行划分得到的对象组。此时,可以通过目标控制资源集中的DCI指示第一对象组的波束信息。该第二对象组可以包括以下至少一项:

应理解,本实施例中,上述目标控制资源集的波束信息可以由上述DCI进行指示,或者通过MAC CE进行指示。
上述目标控制资源集承载的控制信道不属于所述N个对象组,可以理解为目标控制资源集承载的控制信道未进行分组,此时目标控制资源集可以理解为第一类控制资源集,该目标控制资源集的波束信息可以由现有波束指示机制进行指示。
可选的,在一实施例中,所述对象组中的对象包括以下至少一项:

在一实施例中,针对上述对象组中包括的上述CSI-RS,当所述CSI-RS为用于CSI测量或者用于跟踪(如tracking CSI-RS,TRS)时,若网络未配置CSI-RS资源的TCI state或QCL信息,则使用common beam。例如,对于非周期CSI-RS资源或网络使用DCI触发的非周期CSI report时,若网络未配置report setting所关联的所有CSI-RS resource的TCI state信息或未配置非周期CSI-RS资源的TCI state信息时,则这些CSI-RS资源使用common beam。若网络配置了CSI-RS资源的TCI state信息或QCL信息,则根据配置信息确定CSI-RS资源的波束信息。
在另一实施例中,可以设置无论网络是否配置了CSI-RS资源的TCI state信息或QCL信息,只使用对象组当前的common beam,测量这些CSI-RS资源。
应理解,对于上述对象组中的SRS使用对象组当前的common beam的情况可以与CSI-RS相同,具体可以参照CSI-RS的描述,在此不再赘述。

其中,M为正整数,在M大于1的情况下,所述指示信息承载于所述DCI,所述指示信息用于指示所述M个TCI state中的一个TCI state。
本实施例中,可以首先通过第二MAC CE激活一个或者多个TCI state,然后通过DCI指示激活的M个TCI state中的一个TCI state。应理解,当上述M为1时,可以省略DCI指示TCI state,直接使用第二MAC CE指示激活的一个TCI state作为对象组的TCI state。
进一步地,所述方法还包括:
确定第二对象的TCI state为所述M个TCI state中的一个TCI state;
其中,所述第二对象为用于获取信道状态信息CSI的CSI-RS或用于跟踪的CSI-RS。
本申请实施例中,对于用于获取信道状态信息CSI和用于跟踪的CSI-RS,可以配置这些CSI-RS资源的TCI state信息为激活的TCI state,或者将激活的TCI state作为这些CSI-RS资源的TCI state信息。进一步地,UE可以测量M个CSI-RS for CSI和/或M个TRS资源,用于获得M个激活的TCI state所对应的CSI信息和/或时频信息。
应理解,上述第一MAC CE可以是专用于激活/更新TCI state的MAC CE格式(format)。也可以是用于指示其他功能的MAC CE,即传统MAC CE,例如可以为激活PDCCH TCI state的MAC CE、激活PUCCH空间关系的MAC CE等。还可以是重用激活控制资源集的TCI state的MAC CE。进一步的,该MAC CE所激活/更新的TCI state还用于控制资源集所在CC的全部或部分信道。
可选地,在一实施例中,当第一MAC CE为用于指示其他功能的MAC CE时,所述方法还包括:
接收使能信息,所述使能信息用于指示所述第一MAC CE是否用于承载所述指示信息。

可选地,在一实施例中,所述TCI state包括的第一类型QCL信息用于所述对象组的下行信道和下行RS中的至少一项,所述TCI state包括的第二类型QCL信息用于所述对象组的下行信道、上行信道、下行RS和上行RS中的至少一项,其中,所述第一类型QCL信息为时域和频域参数信息中的至少一项;第二类型QCL信息为空域参数信息。
