Description

一种速率匹配的方法及装置 技术领域
本申请涉及通信技术领域，尤其涉及一种速率匹配的方法及装置。
背景技术
第五代移动通信系统(5th generation，5G)可以采用高频通信，即采用高频段信号传输数据。高频通信的一个主要问题是信号能量随传输距离急剧下降，导致信号传输距离短。为了克服这个问题，高频通信采用模拟波束技术，通过将信号能量集中在一个较小的角度范围内，形成一个类似于光束一样的信号(称为模拟波束，简称波束)，从而提高传输距离。参考图1，网络设备(如基站)和终端设备之间采用波束进行传输。
在进行上下行数据传输时，网络设备和终端设备需要采用特定的波束来进行。具体采用哪个波束来进行传输是通过波束测量过程来确定的。例如：网络设备可以为终端设备配置一个或多个资源集合，每个资源集合包含一个或多个资源，对于每个资源，网络设备通过一个波束发送该资源对应的参考信号，用于终端设备测量对应的波束质量。终端设备测量参考信号后可以上报各个资源对应的参考信号接收功率(reference signal receiving power，RSRP)，网络设备从而获知相应波束的质量。
为了实现跨小区的波束管理，终端设备需要对邻区的参考信号进行测量；当终端设备对同频邻区进行测量时，本小区(即服务小区)的传输需要暂停。标准协议中，对该暂停行为称为速率匹配(rate match)。具体表现为，当终端设备收到网络设备分配的一段连续的传输资源时，例如：从一个时隙中的第X个正交频分复用(orthogonal frequency division multiplexing，OFDM)符号开始，持续Y个符号结束，如果该段连续的传输资源中存在参考信号资源，如：同步信号块(synchronization signal block，SSB)，则在存在SSB的OFDM符号上不映射数据。SSB也称为同步信号和物理广播信道(physical broadcast channel，PBCH)块(synchronization signal and PBCH block)。
对于层1/层2(L1/L2)移动性的同频测量，如果终端设备存在多个候选小区，根据邻区SSB配置，为了进行邻区测量而对多个邻区的SSB进行速率匹配，则会影响终端设备的调度资源，导致终端设备吞吐下降。例如：参考图2，如果多个邻区的SSB资源位置错开，则终端设备经常为了测量邻区SSB而进行速率匹配，导致本小区的传输频繁中断，从而影响传输效率。
另外，由于信道环境或终端设备姿态等因素，针对预先配置的多个邻区的SSB进行测量，有时终端设备不一定都能测量到，或仅部分邻区的部分波束能测量到。如果终端设备仅仅根据邻区的SSB配置进行速率匹配，可能会导致终端设备为了邻区SSB测量进行了大量不必要的速率匹配，从而频繁中断本小区的传输，影响传输效率。
因此，减小终端设备在邻区测量时进行频繁的速率匹配导致终端设备的传输效率下降，进一步的，尽量避免漏测邻区参考信号资源，从而提高速率匹配的可靠性，是一个亟待解决的问题。

具体实施方式
下面结合说明书附图对本申请实施例做详细描述。
本申请实施例提供的通信方法可以应用于第五代(5th generation，5G)通信系统，例如5G新空口(new radio，NR)，或应用于未来的各种通信系统，例如，第六代(6th generation，6G)通信系统。
本申请实施例提供的方法和装置是基于同一或相似技术构思的，由于方法及装置解决问题的原理相似，因此装置与方法的实施可以相互参见，重复之处不再赘述。
以下，首先对本申请实施例中的部分用语进行解释说明，以便于本领域技术人员理解。
本申请实施例中涉及的波束，是一种通信资源。波束可以是宽波束，或者窄波束，或者其他类型波束，形成波束的技术可以是波束成形技术或者其他技术手段。波束成形技术可以具体为数字波束成形技术、模拟波束成形技术和混合数字/模拟波束成形技术。不同的波束可以认为是不同的资源。
波束可以称为空域滤波器(spatial domain filter)，空间滤波器(spatial filter)，空域参数(spatial domain parameter)，空间参数(spatial parameter)，空域设置(spatial domain setting)，空间设置(spatial setting)，准共址(quasi-colocation，QCL)信息，QCL假设，或QCL指示等。波束可以通过传输配置指示状态(transmission configuration indicator state，TCI-state)参数来指示，或者通过空间关系(spatial relation)参数来指示。因此，本申请中，波束可以替换为空域滤波器，空间滤波器，空域参数，空间参数，空域设置，空间设置，QCL信息，QCL假设，QCL指示，TCI-state(包括上行TCI-state，下行TCI-state)，或空间关系等。上述术语之间也相互等效。波束也可以替换为其他表示波束的术语，本申请在此不作限定。
用于发送信号的波束可以称为发送波束(transmission beam，Tx beam)，空域发送滤波器(spatial domain transmission filter)，空间发送滤波器(spatial transmission filter)，空域发送参数(spatial domain transmission parameter)，空间发送参数(spatial transmission parameter)，空域发送设置(spatial domain transmission setting)，或者空间发送设置(spatial transmission setting)。下行发送波束可以通过TCI-state来指示。
用于接收信号的波束可以称为接收波束(reception beam，Rx beam)，空域接收滤波器(spatial domain reception filter)，空间接收滤波器(spatial reception filter)，空域接收参数(spatial domain reception parameter)或者空间接收参数(spatial reception parameter)，空域接收设置(spatial domain reception setting)，或者空间接收设置(spatial reception setting)。上行发送波束可以通过空间关系、上行TCI-state、探测参考信号(sounding reference signal，SRS)资源(表示使用该SRS的发送波束)中任一种来指示。因此，上行波束还可以替换为SRS资源。
发送波束可以是指信号经天线发射出去后在空间不同方向上形成的信号强度的分布，接收波束可以是指从天线上接收到的无线信号在空间不同方向上的信号强度分布。
形成波束的技术可以是波束赋形技术或者其他技术。波束赋形技术具体可以为数字波束赋形技术、模拟波束赋形技术、混合数字波束赋形技术或者混合模拟波束赋形技术等。
波束一般和资源对应，例如进行波束测量时，网络设备通过不同的资源来测量不同的波束，终端设备反馈测得的资源质量，网络设备就知道对应的波束的质量。当数据传输时，波束信息也是通过其对应的资源来进行指示的。例如，网络设备通过下行控制信息(downlink control information，DCI)中的传输配置指示(transmission configuration indicator，TCI)字段指示终端设备的物理下行共享信道(physical downlink shared channel，PDSCH)波束的信息。
可选的，将具有相同或者类似的通信特征的多个波束视为是一个波束。一个波束内可以包括一个或者多个天线端口，用于传输数据信道、控制信道和探测信号等。形成一个波束的一个或者多个天线端口也可以看作是一个天线端口集。
在本申请实施例中，若未做出特别说明，波束是指网络设备的发送波束。在波束测量中，网络设备的每一个波束对应一个资源，因此可以使用资源的索引来唯一标识该资源对应的波束。
在波束测量中，网络设备可向终端设备提前发送测量配置信息，该测量配置信息中可以包括测量资源配置信息和测量上报配置信息。网络设备基于该测量配置信息向终端设备发送测量参考信号。
其中，测量资源配置信息中包括测量资源的相关配置。比如，测量资源可以被配置为三级资源结构：资源设置(Resource setting)、资源集(Resource set)和资源(Resource)。网络设备可以为终端设备配置一个或多个Resource setting，每个Resource setting中可以包括一个或多个Resource set，每个Resource set中可以包括一个或多个Resource。可选地，每个Resource中还可以包括一个或多个端口(port)。
测量上报配置信息中包括需要终端设备测量上报的相关信息。可选地，该测量上报配置信息中包括以下中的一项或多项：上报量(report quantity)、上报量采用的计算方法指示信息、该测量上报配置信息所关联的测量资源(比如，该测量上报配置所关联的一个或多个Resource setting和/或resource set和/或resource)。其中，所述上报量可以包括以下信息中的一项或多项：信道测量参考信号资源标识、干扰资源标识、参考信号接收功率(reference signal receiving power，RSRP)、参考信号接收质量(reference signal receiving quality，RSRQ)、信号与干扰噪声比(signal to interference plus noise ratio，SINR)、接收信号强度指示(received signal strength indicator，RSSI)、信道状态信息(channel status information，CSI)、信道质量指示(channel quality indicator，CQI)、预编码矩阵指示(precoding matrix indicator，PMI)、预编码类型指示(precoding type indicator，PTI)、分集指示(rank indication，RI)等。应理解，上述只是示例性地给出测量上报配置信息中可能包括的信息，测量上报配置信息中还可以包括其他信息，本申请实施例对此不作限定。
终端设备在收到网络设备的测量配置信息后，可以基于测量配置信息进行测量。比如，若测量配置信息中的测量上报配置信息中包括参考信号接收质量RSRQ、信号与干扰噪声比SINR，则终端设备需要对测量资源配置信息指示的资源进行测量，并向网络设备上报测量的RSRQ、SINR。
在NR(new radio)中，下行信道所使用的波束或发送参考信号的波束采用的波束指示是通过关联传输配置指示(transmission configuration indicator，TCI)状态表中的参考资源索引实现的。
具体而言，基站通过无线资源控制(radio resource control，RRC)信令配置了一个TCI状态表，每个TCI状态表包含若干个TCI状态。每个TCI状态包括TCI状态标识(TCI-RS-SetID)、一种或两种准同位(quasi-co-location，QCL)类型指示(QCL-type A/B/C/D)以及各个类型指示对应的参考信号标识(reference signal identifier，RS-ID)。QCL类型包含了以下几种：
QCL-Type A:{多普勒频移,多普勒扩展,平均时延,时延扩展}
QCL-Type B:{多普勒频移,多普勒扩展}
QCL-Type C:{平均时延,多普勒频移}
QCL-Type D:{空间接收参数}
其中，QCL-type D表示空间准同位。当需要指示接收波束时，网络设备通过高层信令或控制信息指示其中的一个包含空间准同位信息的TCI状态，终端设备根据该TCI状态读取QCL-type D对应的参考RS-ID，然后终端设备可以根据当前维护的与RS-ID相对应的空间接收配置(接收波束)进行接收。
空域准同位(spatial QCL)：spatial QCL可以认为是QCL的一种类型。对于spatial有两个角度可以理解：从发送端或者从接收端。从发送端来看，如果说两个天线端口是空域准同位的，那么是指这两个天线端口的对应的波束方向在空间上是一致的。从接收端来看， 如果说两个天线端口是空域准同位的，那么是指接收端能够在相同的波束方向上接收到这两个天线端口发送的信号。
信道测量参考信号资源：待测量波束上发送的参考信号采用的资源。信道测量参考信号资源用于测量波束质量，即用于测量发送参考信号的波束的质量。本申请实施例中的测量结果(RSRQ/SINR/RSRP)等都是针对信道测量参考信号资源的测量结果。
本申请实施例中涉及的多个，是指两个或两个以上。“和/或”，描述关联对象的关联关系，表示可以存在三种关系，例如，A和/或B，可以表示：单独存在A，同时存在A和B，单独存在B这三种情况。字符“/”一般表示前后关联对象是一种“或”的关系。另外，需要理解的是，在本申请的描述中，“第一”、“第二”等词汇，仅用于区分描述的目的，而不能理解为指示或暗示相对重要性，也不能理解为指示或暗示顺序。
本申请实施例的描述中所提到的术语“包括”和“具有”以及它们的任何变形，意图在于覆盖不排他的包含。例如包含了一系列步骤或单元的过程、方法、系统、产品或设备没有限定于已列出的步骤或单元，而是可选地还包括其他没有列出的步骤或单元，或可选地还包括对于这些过程、方法、产品或设备固有的其它步骤或单元。需要说明的是，本申请实施例中，“示例性的”或者“例如”等词用于表示作例子、例证或说明。本申请实施例中被描述为“示例性的”或者“例如”的任何实施例或设计方案不应被解释为比其它实施例或设计方案更优选或更具优势。确切而言，使用“示例性的”或者“例如”等词旨在以具体方式呈现相关概念。
本申请实施例中涉及的网络设备，可以为无线网络中的设备。例如，网络设备可以是部署在无线接入网中为终端设备提供无线通信功能的设备。例如，网络设备可以为将终端设备接入到无线网络的无线接入网(radio access network，RAN)节点，又可以称为接入网设备。
网络设备包括但不限于：演进型节点B(evolved Node B，eNB)、无线网络控制器(radio network controller，RNC)、节点B(Node B，NB)、基站控制器(base station controller，BSC)、基站收发台(base transceiver station，BTS)、家庭基站(例如，home evolved NodeB，或home Node B，HNB)、基带单元(baseband unit，BBU)，无线保真(wireless fidelity，WIFI)系统中的接入点(access point，AP)、无线中继节点、无线回传节点、传输点(transmission point，TP)或者发送接收点(transmission and reception point，TRP)等，还可以为5G移动通信系统中的网络设备。例如，NR系统中的下一代基站(next generation NodeB，gNB)，传输接收点(transmission reception point，TRP)，TP；或者，5G移动通信系统中的基站的一个或一组(包括多个天线面板)天线面板；或者，网络设备还可以为构成gNB或传输点的网络节点。例如，BBU，或，分布式单元(distributed unit，DU)等。
在一些部署中，gNB可以包括集中式单元(centralized unit，CU)和DU。gNB还可以包括有源天线单元(active antenna unit，AAU)。CU实现gNB的部分功能，DU实现gNB的部分功能。例如，CU负责处理非实时协议和服务，实现无线资源控制RRC，分组数据汇聚层协议(packet data convergence protocol，PDCP)层的功能。DU负责处理物理层协议和实时服务，实现无线链路控制(radio link control，RLC)层、媒体接入控制(Media Access Control，MAC)层和物理(physical，PHY)层的功能。AAU实现部分物理层处理功能、射频处理及有源天线的相关功能。RRC层的信息最终会变成PHY层的信息，或者，由PHY层的信息转变而来。因此在该架构下，高层信令(如RRC层信令)也可以认为是由DU发 送的，或者，由DU和AAU发送的。可以理解的是，网络设备可以为包括CU节点、DU节点、AAU节点中一个或多个的设备。此外，可以将CU划分为RAN中的网络设备，也可以将CU划分为核心网(core network，CN)中的网络设备，本申请对此不做限定。
终端设备，又称之为用户设备(user equipment，UE)、移动台(mobile station，MS)、移动终端(mobile terminal，MT)等。终端设备是包括无线通信功能(向用户提供语音/数据连通性)的设备。例如，具有无线连接功能的手持式设备、或车载设备等。目前，一些终端设备的举例为：手机(mobile phone)、平板电脑、笔记本电脑、掌上电脑、移动互联网设备(mobile internet device，MID)、可穿戴设备，虚拟现实(virtual reality，VR)设备、增强现实(augmented reality，AR)设备、工业控制(industrial control)中的无线终端、车联网中的无线终端、无人驾驶(self driving)中的无线终端、远程手术(remote medical surgery)中的无线终端、智能电网(smart grid)中的无线终端、运输安全(transportation safety)中的无线终端、智慧城市(smart city)中的无线终端、物联网(Internet of Things，IoT)中的无线终端或智慧家庭(smart home)中的无线终端等。例如，车联网中的无线终端可以为车载设备、整车设备、车载模块、车辆等。工业控制中的无线终端可以为摄像头、机器人等。智慧家庭中的无线终端可以为电视、空调、扫地机、音箱、机顶盒等。
下面对采用波束进行通信的技术进行简单介绍。
在5G通信系统中，网络设备与终端设备之间可以采用波束进行数据传输，网络设备可以由自身决定使用什么波束，而终端设备通过网络设备指示使用什么波束，例如网络设备向终端设备发送一个下行控制信息，该下行控制信息中包含传输配置编号TCI字段，该TCI字段可以用于指示一个TCI-state，该TCI-state用于上行传输或下行传输，并且该TCI-state中包括一个目标参考信号资源。针对采用该TCI-state进行下行传输时，终端设备采用该目标参考信号资源对应的接收波束进行接收，由于该目标参考信号资源对应的接收波束是终端设备已经确定的，因此，网络设备可以为终端设备指示正确的接收波束。针对采用该TCI-state进行上行传输时，终端设备采用该目标参考信号对应的发送波束进行发送，或者采用该目标参考信号对应的发送波束进行发送。
终端设备与网络设备之间传输信号时，网络设备可以为终端设备配置一个或多个资源集合。每个资源集合包含一个或多个资源，对于每个资源，网络设备通过一个波束发送该资源对应的信号，用于测量对应的波束质量，终端设备测量后可以上报该波束质量，如：终端设备可以上报一个或多个资源的RSRP，表示对应的波束质量。
在标准Rel-16及以前的版本中，层1(L1)测量仅支持对服务小区的资源进行测量，例如：终端设备测量当前服务小区的SSB，或者测量当前服务小区配置的CSI-RS资源。因此，网络设备配置的资源集合仅包括服务小区的资源。
在标准Rel-17版本中，为了实现跨小区的波束管理，需要测量邻区的资源，L1测量进一步支持了测量关联了非服务小区物理小区标识(physical cell identifier，PCI)的参考信号。例如，当需要测量相邻小区的SSB时，网络设备将在RRC配置中，为终端设备待测量的SSB配置关联额外的PCI，即表示该SSB不是当前服务小区的SSB。因此，网络设备配置的资源集合中包括服务小区的资源和非服务小区的资源。
而对于邻区CSI-RS的测量，则需要将CSI-RS的QCL关系配置为关联了邻区PCI的SSB。也就是说，即使要对邻区CSI-RS进行测量，获得邻区波束的质量，终端设备也没有获取邻区的CSI-RS配置，而是基于服务小区的CSI-RS资源加上QCL到邻区SSB来完成 测量的。
在跨小区波束管理中，终端设备在接收到来自邻区的PDSCH或PDCCH时，如果同时存在邻区的参考信号资源，如SSB，则进行速率匹配，即在SSB资源上中断PDSCH或PDCCH的传输，优先进行SSB测量。
因此，对于配置了L1-RSRP测量的SSB，在SSB相同的符号上，终端设备不会进行上行发送，或者下行接收，标准中描述如下：
The UE is not expected to transmit PUCCH/PUSCH/SRS or receive PDCCH/PDSCH/CSI-RS for tracking/CSI-RS for CQI on symbols corresponding to the SSB indexes configured for L1-RSRP measurement,where the transmission of PUCCH/PUSCH/SRS and reception of PDCCH/PDSCH/CSI-RS for tracking/CSI-RS for CQI may be on serving cell(s)and cell(s)with PCI different from serving cell(s).
也就是说：UE不希望在L1-RSRP测量配置的SSB索引对应的符号上发送PUCCH/PUSCH/SRS或接收PDCCH/PDSCH/CSI-RS用于跟踪/CSI-RS用于CQI。其中PUCCH/PUSCH/SRS的传输和PDCCH/PDSCH/CSI-RS用于跟踪/CQI的CSI-RS的接收可以在服务小区(s)和PCI不同于服务小区(s)的小区(s)上。
上行发送包括发送PUCCH、PUSCH或SRS等；下行接收包括接收PDCCH、PDSCH或CSI-RS等。
对于层1/层2(L1/L2)移动性的同频测量，如果终端设备存在多个候选小区，根据邻区SSB配置，为了进行邻区测量需要而对多个邻区的SSB进行速率匹配，则会在相应的SSB上中断服务小区的上下行传输，这会影响终端设备的调度资源，导致终端设备吞吐下降。例如：参考图2，如果多个小区的SSB资源位置错开，则导致终端设备需要经常为了测量SSB进行速率匹配，导致频繁中断本小区传输，从而影响传输效率。
另外，由于信道环境或终端设备姿态等因素，参考图3，针对预先配置的多个邻区的SSB，有些时候，终端设备不一定都能测量到，或仅部分邻区的部分波束能测量到。如果终端设备仅仅根据邻区的SSB配置进行速率匹配，可能会导致终端设备进行大量不必要的邻区测量，导致本小区频繁中断传输，影响传输效率。
本申请提供一种速率匹配的方法，减少终端设备由于频繁的邻区测量导致的传输中断，提高传输效率。
本申请应用通信系统主要包括网络设备(如：基站)和终端设备(如UE)，也可以包括一个或多个网络设备，和一个或多个终端设备。图4以一个网络设备和一个终端设备为例，网络设备可以向终端设备发送数据或控制信令。例如：终端设备基于网络设备的配置信息进行参考信号的测量，并上报参考信号的测量结果，即对应的波束的测量结果，用于切换终端设备的服务波束。
本申请公开的方法可以应用于多种场景，例如：
场景一：小区间传输模型(终端设备上报测量结果后切换到其他小区的波束)
针对终端设备测量非服务小区的波束的参考信号，并上报给当前服务小区。切换非服务小区波束后，从另一个小区接收PDCCH/PDSCH但不切换服务小区的场景。可以简单的理解为终端设备从另一个小区的天线接收信号，但服务小区不变。
场景二:小区内的传输模型(终端设备切换到服务小区内的其他波束)
针对终端设备测量当前服务小区的非服务波束的参考信号，并上报给当前服务小区。 基于配置切换服务波束为上报的波束。终端仅对非服务小区的波束进行测量，但终端并不会真正基于所述非服务小区的波束进行数据传输。
场景三：移动性场景
针对终端设备可能在小区间移动，当前服务小区为了降低终端设备移动对通信性能的影响，配置终端设备对邻区参考信号进行测量和上报。该场景下终端设备不一定需要进行波束切换，但需要对一个或多个参考信号进行测量。测量的参考信号可以是当前服务小区的参考信号，也可以是非服务小区的参考信号。
上述应用场景仅为举例，不限于上述场景。
在一些实施例中，参考图5，该速率匹配的方法包括：
101，网络设备为终端设备配置质量门限。
质量门限包括第一门限和/或第二门限，第一门限针对服务小区，第二门限针对邻区，门限可以为波束级门限，也可以为小区级门限；门限可以为网络设备为终端设备配置的，也可以为预先设置的。
例如：第一门限可以针对服务小区的测量资源集进行配置，服务小区的测量资源集可以为一个或多个，不同的测量资源集可以使用不同的门限；每个测量资源集可以配置一个门限，也可以多个测量资源集可以统一配置一个门限，因此一个门限可以对应一个或多个测量资源集。另外，第一门限也可以为小区级门限，所述服务小区使用一个门限。
第一门限也可以为波束级门限，即针对服务小区不同的波束设置不同的门限；一个门限可以对应一个或多个波束，即一个门限可以对应一个或多个参考信号资源。
进一步的，第一门限为多个时，可以对应不同的邻区，即一个门限可以关联一个或多个邻区，例如：第一门限可以关联邻区PCI或additional PCI。
第二门限与第一门限类似，可以针对邻区的测量资源集进行配置，邻区的测量资源集可以为一个或多个，不同的测量资源集可以使用不同的门限；每个测量资源集可以配置一个门限，也可以多个测量资源集可以统一配置一个门限，因此一个门限可以对应一个或多个测量资源集。另外，第一门限也可以为小区级门限，一个或多个邻区使用一个门限。
第二门限也可以为波束级门限，即针对邻区不同的波束设置不同的门限；一个门限可以对应一个或多个波束，即一个门限可以对应一个或多个参考信号资源。
上述门限为参考信号质量门限或波束质量门限，如：SSB或CSI-RS的RSRP阈值；所述网络设备可以通过配置信息下发或指示信息下发。
测量资源集可以为RRC配置的测量资源集，也可以为MAC-CE或DCI激活的测量资源集。
102，终端设备对网络设备下发的参考信号进行测量，并向所述网络设备上报测量结果。
所述参考信号可以为一个或多个，可以通过一个或多个波束下发，所述一个或多个波束与测量资源集中的一个或多个资源对应，也可以为一一对应，也可以为一对多或多对一。参考信号可以为SSB或CSI-RS等，由于参考信号通过波束下发，因此参考信号的质量即为发送该参考信号的波束的质量，每个波束可以发送一个或多个参考信号。
一个例子中，上述网络设备可以为服务网络设备，即终端设备对服务网络设备通过一个或多个波束下发的参考信号进行测量，并上报测量结果，如果测量结果指示至少一个波束或参考信号的质量大于或等于所述第一门限，此时，服务小区波束质量较好，则终端设 备不需要开启邻区测量，不需要根据邻区的参考信号资源的位置对服务小区的传输资源的进行速率匹配，如图6上图所示，终端设备可以在网络设备调度的传输资源上进行正常的上下行传输，例如：发送PUCCH、PUSCH或SRS等，或接收PDCCH、PDSCH或CSI-RS等。
如果测量结果指示至少一个波束或参考信号的质量小于或等于所述第一门限，此时，服务小区波束质量较差，则终端设备需要开启邻区测量，如图6下图所示，因此，终端设备根据邻区的参考信号资源的位置对服务小区的传输资源的进行速率匹配；如果网络设备分配的传输资源中包括邻区的参考信号资源，如SSB，则在邻区的参考信号资源上中断服务小区的上下行传输。
进一步的，所述测量结果可以为多次，如：连续的N次或一段时间内非连续的N次；如果终端设备连续N次的测量结果均指示至少一个波束或参考信号的质量大于或等于所述第一门限，或者终端设备在预设时间段内N次的测量结果均指示至少一个波束或参考信号的质量大于或等于所述第一门限，则终端设备不需要开启邻区测量，不需要根据邻区的参考信号资源的位置对服务小区的传输资源的进行速率匹配。反之，如果终端设备连续N次的测量结果均指示至少一个波束或参考信号的质量小于或等于所述第一门限，或者终端设备在预设时间段内N次的测量结果均指示至少一个波束或参考信号的质量小于或等于所述第一门限，则终端设备需要开启邻区测量，因此，终端设备根据邻区的参考信号资源的位置对服务小区的传输资源的进行速率匹配。N为大于1的整数，可以预先设置，或由网络设备为终端设备配置。
进一步的，第一门限可以为多个，分别对应不同的邻区，一个门限可以关联一个或多个邻区，例如：第一门限可以关联小区的标识，如PCI或additional PCI，当终端设备上报的波束质量满足相应门限，则针对相应小区的参考信号资源进行速率匹配。
例如：如果测量结果指示至少一个波束或参考信号的质量小于或等于所述第一门限，且第一门限关联第一邻区的PCI，则终端设备根据第一邻区的参考信号资源的位置对服务小区的传输资源的进行速率匹配；所述测量结果可以为上述N次测量的测量结果。
进一步的，若服务小区波束质量变化，例如：若所述测量结果指示至少一个波束或参考信号的质量大于或等于第一门限，则终端设备关闭速率匹配；所述测量结果可以为上述N次测量的测量结果；进一步的，如果第一门限关联第一邻区的PCI，则终端设备关闭第一邻区的速率匹配。
上述邻区的参考信号资源可以为测量资源集中其他小区的一个或多个参考信号资源，其他小区可以为部分邻区，也可以为所有邻区。
测量结果的上报方式周期性或半持续性测量上报，上报方式可以由网络设备为终端设备配置，也可以为预先设置；不同的测量资源集合可以采用不同的上报方式，也可以采用相同的上报方式。
另外，可以进一步规定为周期或半持续性上报结果满足预设条件，例如：周期或半持续性的上报N次后，N为大于1的整数，上述开启或关闭速率匹配规则生效。
相应的，网络设备接收到终端设备的测量结果后，根据测量结果可以确定终端设备是否开启速率匹配，判断方式与终端设备判断方式相同，不再详述。
以下分两种情况举例进行说明：
1)L1测量的情况下：
当终端设备上报的L1-RSRP测量结果为，例如：至少一个波束或所有波束大于第一门限时，此时服务小区波束质量较好，终端设备不需要进行邻区SSB的测量，因此，不用开启速率匹配，即不需要根据测量资源集中其他小区的SSB的位置对服务小区的传输资源进行速率匹配；
当终端设备上报的L1-RSRP测量结果为，例如：至少一个波束或所有波束小于所述第一门限时，此时服务小区波束质量不好，终端设备需要开启速率匹配，即根据测量资源集中其他小区的SSB的位置对服务小区的传输资源进行速率匹配，以便于进行邻区SSB的测量。
2)L3测量的情况下：
当终端设备上报的L3-RSRP测量结果为，例如：任意一个波束的波束级L3测量结果或L3滤波的小区级测量结果大于或等于第一门限时，终端设备不需要进行邻区测量，因此，不用开启速率匹配，即不需要根据测量资源集中其他小区的SSB的位置对服务小区的传输资源进行速率匹配；
当终端设备上报的L3-RSRP测量结果为，例如：任意一个波束的波束级L3测量结果或L3滤波的小区级测量结果小于或等于第一门限时，终端设备需要进行邻区测量，因此，终端设备需要开启速率匹配，即根据测量资源集中其他小区的SSB的位置对服务小区的传输资源进行速率匹配，以便于进行邻区SSB的测量。
另一个例子中，终端设备可以对邻区网络设备下发的参考信号进行测量，并向服务网络设备上报测量结果。
和上述例子类似，所述参考信号可以通过一个或多个波束下发，每个波束对应一个或多个参考信号；
如果测量结果指示至少一个波束或参考信号的质量大于或等于所述第二门限，此时，邻区的波束质量较好，则终端设备需要开启邻区测量，即根据邻区的参考信号资源的位置对服务小区的传输资源的进行速率匹配，如果网络设备分配的传输资源中包括邻区的参考信号资源，如SSB，则在邻区的参考信号资源上中断服务小区的上下行传输。
如果测量结果指示至少一个波束或参考信号的质量小于或等于所述第二门限，此时，邻区的波束质量较差，则终端设备不需要开启邻区测量，因此，终端设备不需要开启速率匹配；终端设备可以在网络设备调度的传输资源上进行正常的上下行传输，例如：发送PUCCH/PUSCH/SRS，或接收PDCCH/PDSCH/CSI-RS。
进一步的，所述测量结果可以为多次，如：连续的N次或一段时间内非连续的N次；如果终端设备连续N次的测量结果均指示至少一个波束或参考信号的质量大于或等于所述第二门限，或者终端设备在预设时间段内N次的测量结果均指示至少一个波束或参考信号的质量大于或等于所述第二门限，则终端设备需要开启邻区测量，即根据邻区的参考信号资源的位置对服务小区的传输资源的进行速率匹配。反之，如果终端设备连续N次的测量结果均指示至少一个波束或参考信号的质量小于或等于所述第二门限，或者终端设备在预设时间段内N次的测量结果均指示至少二个波束或参考信号的质量小于或等于所述第一门限，则终端设备不需要开启邻区测量，因此，终端设备不需要开启速率匹配。N为大于1的整数，可以预先设置，或由网络设备为终端设备配置。
进一步的，第二门限可以为多个，分别对应不同的邻区，例如：第二门限可以关联小区的标识，如PCI或additional PCI，当终端设备上报的波束质量满足相应门限，则针对相 应小区的参考信号资源进行速率匹配。
例如：如果测量结果指示至少一个波束或参考信号的质量大于或等于所述第二门限，且第二门限关联第二邻区的PCI，则终端设备根据第二邻区的参考信号资源的位置对服务小区的传输资源的进行速率匹配；所述测量结果可以为上述N次测量的测量结果。
进一步的，若服务小区波束质量变化，例如：若所述测量结果指示至少一个波束或参考信号的质量小于或等于第二门限，则终端设备关闭速率匹配；所述测量结果可以为上述N次测量的测量结果；进一步的，如果第二门限关联第二邻区的PCI，则终端设备关闭第二邻区的速率匹配。
其他情况，如果上报方式等，与第一个例子类似，可以参考相关描述，不再详述。
上述各个例子中，网络设备根据终端设备上报的测量结果，便可以确定终端设备是否开启速率匹配，如果确定终端设备开启速率匹配，在分配传输资源或进行传输时需要考虑邻区参考信号资源的位置，在相应的位置上不分配资源或不进行传输。
本申请的中的传输包括发送和接收。上述各个例子中，所述测量资源集可以为RRC配置的测量资源集，也可以为MAC-CE或DCI激活的测量资源集。
其他小区的SSB也可以替换为CSI-RS，例如：关联了其他小区SSB的CSI-RS。
结合上述各个实现方式，网络设备可以配置测量资源集合的上报方式为周期性或半持续性测量上报；或者，网络设备通过DCI激活部分非周期测量配置，所述上报方式可以为非周期性测量上报。
上述方案中，终端设备对网络设备下发的参考信号资源进行测量，并上报测量结果，网络设备和终端设备可以根据测量结果判断是否开启速率匹配，减少了非必要的速率匹配，提高速率匹配的可靠性，提高了传输效率。
由于层1测量支持对配置的参考信号资源进行测量，包括本小区及邻小区的参考信号资源，如果配置了多个邻区的参考信号资源，则层1测量时需要对多个邻区的参考信号资源进行测量，并根据多个邻区的参考信号资源对服务小区的传输资源进行速率匹配；有时候终端设备与一些邻区较远，这些邻区的参考信号无法测量到，如果根据这些邻区的参考信号资源对服务小区的传输资源进行速率匹配，则造成了传输资源的浪费；在另一个实施例中，可以利用层3的测量结果判定是否对层1测量中邻区的参考信号资源进行调整，以减少不必要的速率匹配，提高传输效率；参考图7，该方法包括：
201、网络设备向终端设备发送指示信息，用于指示是否基于L3测量结果，如RRC的测量报告，进行速率匹配，该指示信息可以携带在L3测量配置或L3上报配置中。
该指示信息为可选，可以双方默认基于L3测量结果进行速率匹配。
该指示信息可以为一个开关，比如用1和0表示是否基于L3测量结果对服务小区的传输资源的进行速率匹配。
也可以采用隐式指示，如果L3测量配置中包括该指示信息，则表示基于L3测量结果对服务小区的传输资源的进行速率匹配；如果L3测量配置中没有该指示信息，则表示不基于L3测量结果对服务小区的传输资源的进行速率匹配，默认根据同步信号测量时间配置(SSB measurement timing configuration，SMTC)进行速率匹配以保证邻区参考信号的测量。
另外，该指示信息可以为所有邻区配置，也可以为一个或部分邻区配置，例如：为指定的PCI的邻区配置，此时，仅对配置了该指示信息的邻区进行速率匹配的调整。
202、终端设备进行L3测量，并向网络设备上报测量结果。
L3测量可以测量服务小区的参考信号，即服务网络设备发送的参考信号；也可以测量邻区的参考信号，即邻区网络设备发送的参考信号。例如：在实际实现中，当终端设备处于小区边缘地带时，便可以测量到邻区的参考信号。
测量结果上报给服务网络设备，若所述层3测量结果中包括邻区的参考信号的测量结果，根据所述邻区的参考信号资源的位置对服务小区的传输资源的进行速率匹配，即：后续的L1测量需对该邻区参考信号资源进行速率匹配。
例如：L1测量配置包括3个邻区的参考信号资源，而L3测量结果中仅包括2个邻区的测量结果，则根据这2个邻区的参考信号资源的位置对服务小区的传输资源的进行速率匹配，另外1个邻区的参考信号资源不需要进行速率匹配，即后续的L1测量只针对该2个邻区，另外1个邻区不需要进行L1测量，因为此时，另外一个邻区的参考信号无法测量到。
进一步的，可以为邻区的测量结果设置第二门限，如SSB或CSI-RS的RSRP阈值，第二门限可以由网络设备为终端设备配置，也可以预先设置，例如，该第二门限可以携带在201的L3测量配置中，可以为小区级门限，例如：为每个邻区分别配置对应的门限，也可以为所有邻区统一配置一个门限，与上一个实施例类似，不再详述。
若所述层3测量结果中包括邻区的参考信号的测量结果大于或等于所述第二门限，此时邻区信号较好，则终端设备根据所述邻区的参考信号资源的位置对服务小区的传输资源的进行速率匹配；
若所述层3测量结果中包括邻区的参考信号的测量结果小于或等于所述第二门限，此时邻区信号不好，则终端设备不需要开启速率匹配，即不根据所述邻区的参考信号资源的位置对服务小区的传输资源的进行速率匹配。
进一步的，如果所述指示信息仅为部分邻区进行配置，当终端设备上报的L3测量结果包括了配置了该指示信息的邻区时，后续L1测量需对该邻区的参考信号资源进行速率匹配，例如：
若所述层3测量结果中包括邻区的参考信号的测量结果，且该邻区配置或关联了该指示信息，则根据所述邻区的参考信号资源的位置对服务小区的传输资源的进行速率匹配，即：后续的L1测量需对该邻区的参考信号资源进行速率匹配。
若所述层3测量结果中包括邻区的参考信号的测量结果，但该邻区没有配置或关联该指示信息，则不需要开启速率匹配，即不根据所述邻区的参考信号资源的位置对服务小区的传输资源的进行速率匹配；因此，终端设备后续的L1测量不对该邻区的参考信号资源进行速率匹配。
如果上述配置了该指示信息的邻区也设置了相应的第二门限，则若所述层3测量结果中包括邻区的参考信号的测量结果大于或等于所述第二门限，且该邻区配置或关联了该指示信息，则根据所述邻区的参考信号资源的位置对服务小区的传输资源的进行速率匹配；否则，不开启速率匹配。
如果L3测量结果为波束级测量结果，若所述层3测量结果中包括邻区的波束的测量结果，后续L1测量针对该邻区的波束进行速率匹配，即根据所述邻区的波束对应的参考信号资源的位置对服务小区的传输资源的进行速率匹配。例如：根据该波束对应的SSB资源及QCL的CSI-RS资源对服务小区的传输资源的进行速率匹配。
同样，网络设备也可以为波束级测量设置相应的门限，例如：第二门限为波束级门限；若所述层3测量结果中包括邻区的波束的测量结果，且所述波束的质量大于或等于所述第二门限，则根据所述邻区的波束对应的参考信号资源的位置对服务小区的传输资源的进行速率匹配。如果所述波束的质量小于或等于所述第二门限，则不需要开启速率匹配。
网络设备收到终端设备上报的L3测量结果后，便可根据测量结果的内容确认终端设备是否开启速率匹配；判断方法与终端设备的判断方法类似，不再详述。
速率匹配开始时间可以为L3测量报告上报确认后Xms，网络设备收到终端设备的L3测量报告后Xms，或终端设备发送L3测量报告后Xms，终端设备开启速率匹配，并且网络设备确认终端开启速率匹配，X为整数。
或者，终端设备上报L3测量报告后，进行第一次L1测量时(包括多个参考信号的一组测量)，终端设备开启速率匹配，并且网络设备确认终端开启速率匹配。
上述实施例中，通过L3测量，可以确定邻区的信号质量，从而确定是否开启速率匹配，减少了非必要的速率匹配，增强了速率匹配的可靠性，提高了传输效率。
在另一个实施例中，网络设备可以为终端设备配置速率匹配周期和窗长，在相应的窗长内，终端设备开启速率匹配，在相邻的两个窗长之间，终端设备根据测量结果确定是否开始速率匹配。参考图8，该方法包括：
301，网络设备向终端设备发送第一配置信息，所述第一配置信息用于为终端设备配置速率匹配的周期和窗长；
302，根据所述速率匹配的周期，在相应的窗长内，终端设备进行参考信号测量，开启速率匹配，即根据邻区的参考信号资源的位置对服务小区的传输资源的进行速率匹配，并上报测量结果给网络设备。
例如，终端设备在速率匹配窗长内，测量邻区SSB时，根据所述邻区SSB的位置对服务小区的传输资源，如PDCCH、PDSCH等，进行速率匹配，即在所述邻区SSB的位置上不传输本小区的PDCCH、PDSCH等。
在相邻的两个窗长之间，终端设备不开启速率匹配，即不根据邻区的参考信号资源的位置对服务小区的传输资源的进行速率匹配，这样便减小了传输资源的浪费。
终端设备在相应的窗长内测量参考信号，并上报测量结果给网络设备，参考信号可以包括服务小区的参考信号，也可以包括邻区的参考信号。
302之前，网络设备还可以指示终端设备上报的测量结果需要包括至少一个邻区的测量结果；
例如：网络设备向终端设备下发指示信息，指示终端设备上报的测量结果包括至少一个邻区的测量结果。
所述指示信息可以携带在L1测量的测量资源集合配置或测量上报配置中，例如：网络设备在L1测量的测量资源集合配置或测量上报配置中，为终端设备指定单次上报的最大或最小邻区波束数量。
终端设备收到该指示信息后，进行参考信号的测量，上报的测量结果需要包括至少一个邻区的测量结果，如果没测到任何邻区参考信号的话用特殊值填充，比如，用X表示没有测量到任何邻区的参考信号。
另外，网络设备还可以为终端设备配置第二门限，该第二门限可以针对每个邻区分别进行配置，也可以统一配置一个，即一个阈值或门限可以对应一个或多个邻区，第二门限 相关内容可以参考前面的实施例。
303，终端设备根据测量结果，确定相邻的两个速率匹配窗口之间的这段时间是否需要进行速率匹配，具体包括：
若所述测量结果包括邻区的测量结果，在相邻的两个速率匹配窗口之间，根据所述邻区的参考信号资源的位置对服务小区的传输资源的进行速率匹配。
若所述测量结果不包括邻区的测量结果，在相邻的两个速率匹配窗口之间，不进行速率匹配，即不根据所述邻区的参考信号资源的位置对服务小区的传输资源的进行速率匹配。
进一步的，若所述测量结果包括邻区的测量结果，且所述测量结果大于或等于第二门限，在相邻的两个速率匹配窗口之间，根据所述邻区的参考信号资源的位置对服务小区的传输资源的进行速率匹配。
进一步的，若所述测量结果包括邻区的测量结果，且所述测量结果小于或等于第二门限，在相邻的两个速率匹配窗口之间，不进行速率匹配，即不根据所述邻区的参考信号资源的位置对服务小区的传输资源的进行速率匹配。
上述邻区可以为一个或多个，测量结果可以为至少一个波束或参考信号的质量。
若所述测量结果包括服务小区的测量结果，且所述测量结果小于或等于第一门限，在相邻的两个速率匹配窗口之间，根据邻区的参考信号资源的位置对服务小区的传输资源的进行速率匹配。
所述测量结果可以为服务小区至少一个波束或参考信号的质量。
第一门限及第二门限可以参考上述实施例，其他内容也与上述实施例类似，例如：所述第一门限及第二门限可以关联邻区，测量次数可以为N次等；具体内容参考上面实施例的描述，不再详述。
上述实施例方案中，终端设备按照网络设备的配置进行速率匹配，减少了速率匹配的频率，提高了传输效率。进一步的，在相邻的窗长之间，根据测量结果进行速率匹配，提高了速率匹配的可靠性。
上述各个实施例中，网络设备根据终端设备上报的测量结果，确定终端设备是否开启速率匹配；另外，结合上述各个实施例，在一些实现方式中，网络设备还可以根据终端设备上报的测量结果，确定是否指示终端设备调整速率匹配相关的邻区参考信号资源集合，此方式下终端设备不会自主开启速率匹配，而是收到网络设备下发的指示信息后，根据指示信息确定是否开启速率匹配。
例如：若所述测量结果包括邻区的测量结果或邻区的测量结果大于预设的门限，则网络设备为终端设备重新配置该邻区的测量资源集合，进一步的，可以指示终端设备该测量资源集合需进行速率匹配，即根据所述邻区的参考信号资源集合的位置对服务小区的传输资源的进行速率匹配。测量结果可以为至少一个波束或参考信号的质量。
例如，网络设备通过下发RRC为终端设备重配邻区的测量资源集合，并下发指示信息，指示终端设备对该资源集合进行速率匹配，或指示对该资源集合中的部分或全部资源进行速率匹配；终端设备接收后，根据该指示信息针对相应的资源集合开启速率匹配。
如果对该资源集合进行速率匹配，则为小区级(或PCI级)的速率匹配，如果只对部分资源(一个或多个)进行速率匹配，则为波束级的速率匹配，通常一个资源对应一个波束，也可以对应多个波束。
上述各个实施例中，如果邻区的测量结果包括一个或多个参考信号资源的测量结果， 则网络设备接收后，可以向终端设备下发指示信息，如MAC-CE，指示所述一个或多个参考信号资源的标识，或所述一个或多个参考信号资源所属的邻区标识，终端设备接收后，针对该一个或多个参考信号资源开启速率匹配，也可以开启针对该邻区所有参考信号资源的速率匹配。
在另一个实施例中，网络设备可以向终端设备下发DCI，所述DCI用于触发非周期测量上报，所述DCI包括指示信息，用于指示测量trigger state对应的资源集合是否开启针对邻区参考信号资源的速率匹配。终端设备接收后，根据该指示信息，确定是否根据邻区参考信号资源的位置对trigger state对应的资源集合进行速率匹配。
例如：该指示信息为1比特，取值为1，表示开启速率匹配，即根据邻区参考信号资源的位置对trigger state对应的资源集合进行速率匹配，如果为取值为0，表示不开启速率匹配，反之亦可，也可以用其他值表示。
