- the small cell here can include: Metro cell, Micro cell, Pico Cells, Femto cells, etc. These small cells have the characteristics of small coverage and low transmit power, and are suitable for providing high-rate data transmission services.
- the system bandwidth and terminal bandwidth may reach a bandwidth of hundreds of MHz or even several GHz to support high-speed mobile data transmission, but in actual data transmission, such a large bandwidth is not always required.
- the terminal in working scenarios that only need to support low data rate transmission (such as WeChat chat), the terminal only needs to use a small working bandwidth, for example, a bandwidth of 10 MHz is sufficient.
- 5G introduces the concept of BWP.
- the BWP may be a part of the system bandwidth, for example, the system bandwidth is 100 MHz, and the terminal may use a bandwidth less than 100 MHz, for example, the bandwidth of 20 or 50 MHz for data transmission within the system bandwidth.
- NR supports the configuration of up to 4 BWPs to the terminal at the same time, and different BWPs can have different bandwidth sizes, different frequency positions, and different subcarrier intervals.
- the network can enable the terminal to switch between multiple BWPs according to the service requirements of the terminal. For example, a larger bandwidth BWP is used for higher service rate transmission, and a smaller bandwidth BWP is used for lower service data rate transmission.
- the NR system supports the following two BWP switching methods:
- the first method is to switch the BWP of the terminal through the Downlink Control Information (DCI) method.
- the network carries the BWP indicator field (Bandwidth part indicator) in the DCI for data scheduling of the terminal, and the BWP of the terminal needs to be switched At this time, the network indicates a BWP different from the BWP where the terminal is currently located in the BWP indication field in the DCI sent to the terminal, and the terminal performs BWP handover after receiving the BWP.
- DCI Downlink Control Information
- the second method is to control the BWP switching based on the timer (timer). Every time the terminal receives a Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH) scheduling in the current BWP, the timer is reset, and the timing continues thereafter. When the timer times out, the terminal switches to the default (default) BWP.
- timer Every time the terminal receives a Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH) scheduling in the current BWP, the timer is reset, and the timing continues thereafter.
- PDCCH Physical Downlink Control Channel
- Multi-color deployment is a typical method of communication satellite deployment. Multi-color deployment can effectively avoid interference between two adjacent beams.
- satellite communication based on the NR system if multi-color deployment is adopted, may bring some new problems.
- the residence time of the terminal device in a beam may be only a few seconds to tens of seconds. Therefore, the terminal device faces fast beam switching; on the other hand, multi-color In the case of deployment, adjacent beams use different frequencies, so beam switching will also cause frequency switching.
- the switching of the operating frequency may mean that the BWP of the terminal needs to be switched.
- the terminal may switch from the BWP corresponding to the working frequency of the original beam to another BWP corresponding to the working frequency of the new beam.
- the terminal will be subsequently used at operating frequencies F1 and F4, respectively.
- F1 assumes Corresponding to BWP2, and the terminal subsequently needs to switch from BWP1 of F4 to BWP2 of F1, and switch from BWP2 of F1 to BWP1 of F4. It can be seen that the switching of the satellite beam causes frequent passive switching of the BWP of the terminal.
- the timer-based approach cannot be applied to scenarios where the switching of satellite beams causes frequent passive switching of BWP.
- the beam switching time cannot be guaranteed to be consistent with the timer timeout time; second, the BWP that the beam switching expects to switch to is not necessarily the default BWP.
- the BWP switching method based on DCI cannot be applied to scenarios where the switching of satellite beams causes frequent passive switching of BWP.
- the switching of the beam causes the terminals serving in the beam to perform BWP switching. No matter whether the terminal has data transmission during the beam switching, the DCI of the BWP switching needs to be sent. This will cause the DCI overhead problem. When there are many users, it may be possible Circumstances leading to insufficient DCI;
- the terminal needs to report the measurement result, and the network judges whether the beam changes and whether to perform the BWP handover according to the change of the terminal measurement result.
- the DCI of BWP handover is sent to the terminal.
- the terminal cannot report the measurement result in time and correctly due to the rapid weakening of the original beam signal, the network cannot correctly judge whether to perform BWP handover, and then Lead to the delay of BWP handover, affecting the normal communication of the terminal.
- this application proposes a solution for terminal equipment to autonomously switch the downlink BWP and/or the uplink BWP based on the measurement of the downlink reference signal, which meets the demand for fast switching of the BWP caused by the fast switching of the satellite beam in satellite communication, which can be effective
- the DCI overhead on the network side is saved, and since the handover process based on terminal reporting is reduced, more timely BWP handover can be guaranteed.
- FIG. 3 is a schematic flowchart of a BWP handover method 200 according to an embodiment of the present application. As shown in FIG. 3, the method 200 may include the following content:
- S210 The terminal device measures multiple downlink reference signals corresponding to multiple downlink BWPs.
- the terminal device determines whether to switch from the first downlink BWP to the second downlink BWP according to the measurement results of the multiple downlink reference signals corresponding to the multiple downlink BWPs, where the first downlink BWP is an activated BWP , The first downlink BWP and the second downlink BWP belong to the multiple downlink BWPs.
- the multiple downlink BWPs may respectively correspond to a frequency in a multi-color deployment scenario in satellite communication.
- satellite communication in a multi-color deployment scenario uses 4 different frequencies to cover the ground.
- the 4 frequencies are respectively denoted as F1, F2, F3, and F4, and F1 corresponds to BWP1, F2 corresponds to BWP2, and F3 corresponds to BWP3, F4.
- F1, F2, F3, and F4 respectively denoted as F1, F2 corresponds to BWP2
- F3 corresponds to BWP3, F4.
- BWP4 Corresponds to BWP4.
- the multiple downlink BWPs may be configured by network equipment, and the number of the multiple downlink BWPs is less than or equal to 4, and each downlink BWP is located in a carrier bandwidth corresponding to a satellite beam.
- the multiple downlink reference signals corresponding to the multiple downlink BWPs include synchronization signal blocks or channel state information reference signals (Channel State Information Reference Signal, CSI-RS).
- the synchronization signal block may be a synchronization signal block (Synchronization Signal Block, SSB) or a physical layer broadcast channel (Physical Broadcast Channel, PBCH) signal block.
- SSB Synchronization Signal Block
- PBCH Physical Broadcast Channel
- each of the multiple downlink BWPs corresponds to a downlink reference signal. That is, the multiple downlink BWPs have a one-to-one correspondence with the multiple downlink reference signals.
- the correspondence between the multiple downlink BWPs and the multiple downlink reference signals may also be many-to-one, which is not limited in the embodiment of the present application.
- the multiple downlink reference signals corresponding to the multiple downlink BWPs are preset, or the multiple downlink reference signals corresponding to the multiple downlink BWPs are pre-configured by the network device through signaling.
- the network device sends first configuration information to the terminal device through signaling in advance, where the first configuration information is used to configure multiple downlink reference signals corresponding to the multiple downlink BWPs.
- the measurement result includes but is not limited to at least one of the following:
- RSRP Reference Signal Receiving Power
- RSRQ Reference Signal Receiving Quality
- RSRQ Reference Signal Receiving Quality
- CQI Channel Quality Indicator
- step S210 may specifically be:
- the terminal device periodically measures multiple downlink reference signals corresponding to the multiple downlink BWPs.
- the measurement periods of the multiple downlink reference signals corresponding to the multiple downlink BWPs are preset, or the measurement periods of the multiple downlink reference signals corresponding to the multiple downlink BWPs are predetermined by the network device through signaling. Configured.
- the network device sends second configuration information to the terminal device through signaling in advance, and the second configuration information is used to configure the measurement periods of multiple downlink reference signals corresponding to the multiple downlink BWPs.
- the terminal equipment can evaluate the change trend of each downlink BWP signal strength based on the periodic measurement of the downlink reference signals corresponding to the multiple downlink BWPs corresponding to the multiple satellite beams, and then judge the switching trend of the satellite beams. As shown in FIG. 4, as the satellite moves rapidly, the RSRP signal strength corresponding to the downlink BWP of beam 1 is gradually decreasing, and the RSRP signal strength corresponding to the downlink BWP of beam 2 is gradually increasing. Therefore, the terminal device can switch the downlink BWP based on the relative relationship between the measurement results of multiple downlink BWPs.
- the measurement result of the downlink reference signal corresponding to the second downlink BWP is the largest among the measurement results of the multiple downlink reference signals corresponding to the multiple downlink BWPs.
- step S220 may specifically be:
- the terminal device switches from the first downlink BWP to the second downlink BWP.
- the terminal device does not switch from the first downlink BWP to the The second downstream BWP.
- the multiple downlink BWPs include a downlink BWP1, a downlink BWP2, a downlink BWP3, and a downlink BWP4, the downlink BWP1 is the active BWP, the measurement result of the downlink reference signal corresponding to the downlink BWP1 is A, and the downlink reference signal corresponding to the downlink BWP2
- the measurement result of is B
- the measurement result of the downlink reference signal corresponding to the downlink BWP3 is C
- the measurement result of the downlink reference signal corresponding to the downlink BWP4 is D.
- the terminal device determines to switch from downstream BWP1 to downstream BWP2; if C is greater than A, the terminal device determines to switch from downstream BWP1 to downstream BWP3; if D is greater than A, the terminal device determines to switch from downstream BWP1 to downstream BWP4 . If both B and C are greater than A, and C is greater than B, the terminal device determines to switch from downlink BWP1 to downlink BWP3.
- step S220 may specifically be:
- the terminal device switches from the first downlink BWP To the second downstream BWP.
- the terminal device does not follow the second downlink BWP.
- a downlink BWP is switched to the second downlink BWP.
- the difference between the measurement result of the downlink reference signal corresponding to the second downlink BWP and the measurement result of the downlink reference signal corresponding to the first downlink BWP can be understood as the downlink corresponding to the second downlink BWP
- the first threshold is preset, or the first threshold is pre-configured by the network device through signaling.
- the network device sends third configuration information to the terminal device through signaling in advance, and the third configuration information is used to configure the first threshold.
- the multiple downlink BWPs include a downlink BWP1, a downlink BWP2, a downlink BWP3, and a downlink BWP4, the downlink BWP1 is the active BWP, the measurement result of the downlink reference signal corresponding to the downlink BWP1 is A, and the downlink reference signal corresponding to the downlink BWP2
- the measurement result of is B
- the measurement result of the downlink reference signal corresponding to the downlink BWP3 is C
- the measurement result of the downlink reference signal corresponding to the downlink BWP4 is D.
- the terminal device determines to switch from downlink BWP1 to downlink BWP2; if CA>the first threshold, the terminal device determines to switch from downlink BWP1 to downlink BWP3; if DA>the first threshold, the terminal device determines from The downstream BWP1 is switched to the downstream BWP4. If B-A>first threshold, C-A>first threshold, and C>B, the terminal device determines to switch from downlink BWP1 to downlink BWP3.
- the change of the satellite beam will not only cause the change of the downlink frequency and the change of the downlink BWP, but also cause the change of the uplink frequency and the switching of the uplink BWP. Therefore, in order to ensure that both the uplink BWP and the downlink BWP are correctly switched, the uplink BWP of the satellite beam can be associated with the downlink BWP. For example, in the Frequency Division Duplexing band, the uplink BWP and the downlink BWP can be associated. When the downlink BWP of the satellite is switched, the corresponding uplink BWP is also switched.
- the terminal device may also determine whether to perform uplink BWP switching.
- the terminal device may determine to switch from the uplink BWP corresponding to the first downlink BWP to the second downlink BWP according to the third correspondence relationship.
- the third correspondence relationship may be as shown in Table 1 below.
- the third correspondence is preset, or the third correspondence is pre-configured by the network device through signaling.
- the network device sends fourth configuration information to the terminal device through signaling in advance, and the fourth configuration information is used to configure the third correspondence.

作为示例而非限定,在本申请实施例中,该终端设备还可以是可穿戴设备。可穿戴设备也可以称为穿戴式智能设备,是应用穿戴式技术对日常穿戴进行智能化设计、开发出可以穿戴的设备的总称,如眼镜、手套、手表、服饰及鞋等。可穿戴设备即直接穿在身上,或是整合到用户的衣服或配件的一种便携式设备。可穿戴设备不仅仅是一种硬件设备,更是通过软件支持以及数据交互、云端交互来实现强大的功能。广义穿戴式智能设备包括功能全、尺寸大、可不依赖智能手机实现完整或者部分的功能,例如:智能手表或智能眼镜等,以及只专注于某一类应用功能,需要和其它设备如智能手机配合使用,如各类进行体征监测的智能手环、智能首饰等。

NR系统中,系统带宽与终端带宽可能都会达到数百MHz甚至数GHz的带宽以支持高速移动数据传输,但在实际数据传输时,并非时时刻刻都需要如此大的带宽。例如,在仅需支持低数据速率传输的工作场景时(如微信聊天),终端仅需要采用较小的工作带宽,例如10MHz的带宽就已经足够。为了灵活支持上述不同场景的不同带宽需求,5G引入了BWP的概念。BWP可以是系统带宽的一部分,例如系统带宽为100MHz,终端可以采用小于100MHz的带宽,例如20、50MHz的带宽部分在系统带宽内部进行数据传输。NR支持向终端同时配置最多4个BWP,不同的BWP可以具有不同的带宽大小、不同的频率位置以及不同的子载波间隔。网络可以根据终端的业务需求使得终端在多个BWP之间进行切换,例如较高业务速率传输时,使用较大带宽的BWP,较小的业务数据速率传输时使用较小带宽的BWP。
目前NR系统支持如下两个BWP切换方式:
方式一,通过下行控制信息(Downlink Control Information,DCI)方式对终端的BWP进行切换,网络在对终端进行数据调度的DCI中携带BWP指示域(Bandwidth part indicator),在需要对终端的BWP进行切换时,网络在向终端发送的DCI中的BWP指示域中指示与终端当前所在的BWP不同的BWP的,终端收到该BWP后执行BWP的切换。
方式二,基于定时器(timer)的方式来控制BWP的切换,终端在当前BWP每接收到一次物理下行控制信道(Physical Downlink Control Channel,PDCCH)调度,则所述timer重置,此后持续计时,当所述timer超时时,终端切换至缺省(default)BWP。
在NR系统中,考虑采用卫星通信为用户提供通信服务,多色部署为通信卫星部署的典型方式,多色部署可以有效避免相邻两个波束之间的干扰问题。然而,基于NR系统的卫星通信,如果采用多色部署,可能会带来一些新的问题。对于近地轨道卫星,由于卫星的移动速度很快,终端设备在一个波束的停留时间可能仅仅有几秒钟至数十秒钟,因此,终端设备面临快速的波束切换;另一方面,多色部署情况下,相邻的波束采用了不同的频率,因此波束切换也会导致频率的切换。对于处于连接态的NR终端,工作频率的切换可能意味着需要对终端的BWP进行切换。对应上述卫星通信的场景,卫星通信的波束切换时,终端的可能从对应原波束的工作频率的BWP切换至对应新波束的工作频率的另一BWP。例如,如图2所示,假设终端当前位于波束4中(采用频率F4,假设对应BWP1),卫星波束按照箭头与线段所示方向移动,那么终端后续分别被采用工作频率F1和F4,F1假设对应BWP2,以及终端后续分别需要从F4的BWP1切换至F1的BWP2,在从F1的BWP2切换至F4的BWP1…。由此可见,卫星波束的切换导致了终端的BWP的频繁被动切换。
基于timer的方式无法应用于卫星波束的切换导致BWP的频繁被动切换的场景,
其一,波束切换的时间与timer超时的时间无法确保一致;其二,波束切换期望切换至的BWP不一定是default BWP。
基于DCI的BWP切换方式也无法应用于卫星波束的切换导致BWP的频繁被动切换的场景,
其一,波束的切换导致波束中服务的终端都需要进行BWP切换,不管在波束切换时终端有没有数据传输都需要发送BWP切换的DCI,这会导致DCI开销问题,在用户较多时,还可能导致DCI不足的情况;
其二,BWP切换前,终端需要上报测量结果,网络根据终端测量结果的变化,判断波束是否发生变化,是否进行BWP切换。当判断需要BWP切换时,向终端发送BWP切换的DCI,这一过程中,如果由于原波束信号的快速变弱导致终端不能及时正确的上报测量结果,则网络不能正确判断是否进行BWP切换,进而导致BWP切换的延误,影响终端的正常通信。
基于上述问题,本申请提出一种终端设备基于下行参考信号的测量,自主切换下行BWP和/或上行BWP的方案,满足卫星通信中由于卫星波束的快速切换导致的BWP快速切换的需求,可以有效节省网络侧的DCI开销,且由于减少了基于终端上报进行的切换流程,可以保证更加及时的BWP切换。
以下详细阐述本申请针对上述技术问题而设计的BWP切换方案。
图3是根据本申请实施例的BWP切换方法200的示意性流程图,如图3所示,该方法200可以 包括如下内容:
S210,终端设备测量多个下行BWP所对应的多个下行参考信号;
S220,该终端设备根据该多个下行BWP所对应的多个下行参考信号的测量结果,确定是否从第一下行BWP切换至第二下行BWP,其中,该第一下行BWP为激活的BWP,该第一下行BWP和该第二下行BWP属于该多个下行BWP。
可选地,该多个下行BWP可以分别对应卫星通信中多色部署场景下的一个频率。例如,多色部署场景下的卫星通信采用4个不同的频率进行对地面进行覆盖,4个频率分别记为F1、F2、F3和F4,以及F1对应BWP1,F2对应BWP2,F3对应BWP3,F4对应BWP4。
需要说明的是,该多个下行BWP可以是网络设备配置的,且该多个下行BWP的数量小于或者等于4,每一个下行BWP分别位于一个卫星波束所对应的载波带宽中。
可选地,在本申请实施例中,该多个下行BWP所对应的多个下行参考信号包括同步信号块或者信道状态信息参考信号(Channel State Information Reference Signal,CSI-RS)。该同步信号块可以是同步信号块(Synchronization Signal Block,SSB)或者物理层广播信道(Physical Broadcast Channel,PBCH)信号块。
需要说明的是,该多个下行BWP中每个下行BWP对应一个下行参考信号。即该多个下行BWP与该多个下行参考信号一一对应。当然,该多个下行BWP与该多个下行参考信号的对应关系也可以是多对一的,本申请实施例对此不作限定。
可选地,该多个下行BWP所对应的多个下行参考信号为预设的,或者,该多个下行BWP所对应的多个下行参考信号为网络设备预先通过信令配置的。
例如,网络设备预先通过信令向终端设备发送第一配置信息,该第一配置信息用于配置该多个下行BWP所对应的多个下行参考信号。
可选地,在本申请实施例中,该测量结果包括但不限于以下中的至少一种:
BWP所对应的参考信号接收功率(Reference Signal Receiving Power,RSRP),BWP所对应的参考信号接收质量(Reference Signal Receiving Quality,RSRQ),BWP所对应的参考信号载波干扰噪声比(Reference Signal Carrier to Interference plus Noise Ratio,RS-SINR),BWP所对应的信道质量指示(Channel Quantity Indicator,CQI)。
可选地,上述步骤S210具体可以是:
该终端设备周期性测量该多个下行BWP所对应的多个下行参考信号。
可选地,该多个下行BWP所对应的多个下行参考信号的测量周期为预设的,或者,该多个下行BWP所对应的多个下行参考信号的测量周期为网络设备通过信令预先配置的。
例如,网络设备预先通过信令向终端设备发送第二配置信息,该第二配置信息用于配置该多个下行BWP所对应的多个下行参考信号的测量周期。
需要说明的是,终端设备可以基于对多个卫星波束对应的多个下行BWP所分别对应的下行参考信号的周期性测量,评估各个下行BWP信号强度的变化趋势,进而判断卫星波束的切换趋势,如图4所示,随着卫星的快速移动,波束1的下行BWP所对应的RSRP信号强度在逐渐下降,而波束2的下行BWP所对应的RSRP信号强度在逐渐上升。因此,终端设备可基于多个下行BWP的测量结果之间的相对关系进行下行BWP的切换。
可选地,该第二下行BWP所对应的下行参考信号的测量结果在该多个下行BWP中对应的多个下行参考信号的测量结果中最大。
可选地,上述步骤S220具体可以是:
若该第二下行BWP所对应的下行参考信号的测量结果大于该第一下行BWP所对应的下行参考信号的测量结果,该终端设备从该第一下行BWP切换至该第二下行BWP。
当然,若该第二下行BWP所对应的下行参考信号的测量结果小于或者等于该第一下行BWP所对应的下行参考信号的测量结果,该终端设备不从该第一下行BWP切换至该第二下行BWP。
例如,该多个下行BWP包括下行BWP1、下行BWP2、下行BWP3和下行BWP4,下行BWP1为激活BWP,该下行BWP1所对应的下行参考信号的测量结果为A,该下行BWP2所对应的下行参考信号的测量结果为B,该下行BWP3所对应的下行参考信号的测量结果为C,该下行BWP4所对应的下行参考信号的测量结果为D。若B大于A,该终端设备确定从下行BWP1切换至下行BWP2;若C大于A,该终端设备确定从下行BWP1切换至下行BWP3;若D大于A,该终端设备确定从下行BWP1切换至下行BWP4。若B和C都大于A,且C大于B,该终端设备确定从下行BWP1切换至下行BWP3。
可选地,上述步骤S220具体可以是:
若该第二下行BWP所对应的下行参考信号的测量结果与该第一下行BWP所对应的下行参考信号的测量结果的差值大于第一阈值,该终端设备从该第一下行BWP切换至该第二下行BWP。
当然,若该第二下行BWP所对应的下行参考信号的测量结果与该第一下行BWP所对应的下行参考信号的测量结果的差值小于或者等于第一阈值,该终端设备不从该第一下行BWP切换至该第二下行BWP。
应理解,该第二下行BWP所对应的下行参考信号的测量结果与该第一下行BWP所对应的下行参考信号的测量结果的差值,可以理解为,该第二下行BWP所对应的下行参考信号的测量结果减去该第一下行BWP所对应的下行参考信号的测量结果的差值。
可选地,该第一阈值为预设的,或者,该第一阈值为网络设备通过信令预先配置的。
例如,网络设备预先通过信令向终端设备发送第三配置信息,该第三配置信息用于配置该第一阈值。
例如,该多个下行BWP包括下行BWP1、下行BWP2、下行BWP3和下行BWP4,下行BWP1为激活BWP,该下行BWP1所对应的下行参考信号的测量结果为A,该下行BWP2所对应的下行参考信号的测量结果为B,该下行BWP3所对应的下行参考信号的测量结果为C,该下行BWP4所对应的下行参考信号的测量结果为D。若B-A>第一阈值,该终端设备确定从下行BWP1切换至下行BWP2;若C-A>第一阈值,该终端设备确定从下行BWP1切换至下行BWP3;若D-A>第一阈值,该终端设备确定从下行BWP1切换至下行BWP4。若B-A>第一阈值,C-A>第一阈值,且C>B,该终端设备确定从下行BWP1切换至下行BWP3。
在本申请实施例中,卫星波束的变化不但会导致下行频率的变化和下行BWP的变化,也会导致上行频率变化和上行BWP的切换。因此,为了确保上行BWP与下行BWP都正确是进行切换,可以将卫星波束的上行BWP与下行BWP进行关联,例如在频分双工(Frequency Division Duplexing)频段,将上行BWP与下行BWP进行关联。当卫星的下行BWP发生切换时,其对应的上行BWP也发生相对应的切换。
可选地,在本申请实施例中,在该终端设备确定是否进行下行BWP切换之后,该终端设备还可以确定是否进行上行BWP切换。
可选地,若该终端设备确定从该第一下行BWP切换至该第二下行BWP,该终端设备可以根据第三对应关系,确定从该第一下行BWP对应的上行BWP切换至该第二下行BWP对应的上行BWP,其中,该第三对应关系为该多个下行BWP与多个上行BWP的对应关系。
例如,该第三对应关系可以如下表1所示。

可选地,该第三对应关系为预设的,或者,该第三对应关系为网络设备通过信令预先配置的。
例如,网络设备预先通过信令向终端设备发送第四配置信息,该第四配置信息用于配置该第三对应关系。
在本申请实施例中,由于是终端设备自主的进行上行BWP和/或下行BWP的切换,网络设备未知终端设备的BWP切换情况,为保证网络设备与终端设备的正确通信,终端设备需要及时将BWP切换的情况向网络设备上报。
可选地,在本申请实施例中,若终端设备确定从该第一下行BWP切换至该第二下行BWP,以及在该终端设备从该第一下行BWP切换至该第二下行BWP之前,该终端设备向该网络设备发送第一上行信号,以指示该第二下行BWP的信息,和/或,指示该第二下行BWP对应的上行BWP的信息。

可选地,该终端设备接收网络设备发送的所述第一上行信号的配置信息。从而,可以确定该第一上行信号和发送该第一上行信号的资源。
例如,在该第一下行BWP所对应的下行参考信号的测量结果小于第二阈值的情况下,该终端设备接收网络设备发送的该第一上行信号的配置信息。即在条件触发之后,该网络设备才会发送该第一上行信号的配置信息。
可选地,该第二阈值可以是预设的,也可以是网络设备通过信令预先配置的。
可选地,在本申请实施例中,若该终端设备确定从该第一下行BWP切换至该第二下行BWP,以及在该终端设备从该第一下行BWP切换至该第二下行BWP之后,该终端设备向网络设备发送第二上行信号,以指示该第二下行BWP的信息,和/或,指示该第二下行BWP对应的上行BWP的信息。
可选地,该第二上行信号包括该第二下行BWP的索引信息和/或该第二下行BWP对应的上行BWP的索引信息。即该终端设备可以通过该第二下行BWP的索引信息显式指示该终端设备从该第一下行BWP切换至该第二下行BWP。进一步地,由于下行BWP与上行BWP之间存在上述第三对应关系,即该终端设备也可以通过该第二下行BWP的索引信息显式指示该终端设备从该第一下行BWP对应的上行BWP切换至该第二下行BWP对应的上行BWP。
可选地,该终端设备在该第二下行BWP对应的上行BWP上发送该第二上行信号。即该终端设备可以通过在该第二下行BWP对应的上行BWP上发送该第二上行信号,隐式指示该终端设备从该第一下行BWP切换至该第二下行BWP,以及隐式指示该终端设备从该第一下行BWP对应的上行BWP切换至该第二下行BWP对应的上行BWP。
可选地,该终端设备根据第二对应关系,在该第二下行BWP对应的上行BWP上发送该第二上行信号,其中,该第二上行信号对应该第二下行BWP的索引信息,该第二对应关系为多个上行信息与该多个下行BWP的索引之间的对应关系,该多个上行信息包括该第二上行信号。
即该终端设备可以通过该第二上行信号的发送隐式指示该终端设备从该第一下行BWP切换至该第二下行BWP。进一步地,由于下行BWP与上行BWP之间存在上述第三对应关系,即该终端设备也可以通过该第二上行信号的发送隐式指示该终端设备从该第一下行BWP对应的上行BWP切换至该第二下行BWP对应的上行BWP。
例如,该第二对应关系可以如上表4或者表5所示。
表4,上行信号与下行BWP的索引之间的对应关系

可选地,该第二对应关系为预设的,或者,该第二对应关系为网络设备通过信令预先配置的。
例如,网络设备预先通过信令向终端设备发送第六配置信息,该第六配置信息用于配置该第二对应关系。
可选地,该第二上行信号为以下中的一种:
随机接入前导码、专用的SR、专用的SRS、MAC CE信令或者RRC消息。
可选地,该终端设备接收该第二上行信号的配置信息。从而,可以确定该第二上行信号和发送该第二上行信号的资源。
例如,在该第一下行BWP所对应的下行参考信号的测量结果小于第三阈值的情况下,该终端设备接收该第二上行信号的配置信息。即在条件触发之后,该网络设备才会发送该第二上行信号的配置信息。
在本申请实施例中,由于网络设备所配置的第二上行信号不能确保在每一个上行时隙中均出现,因此,终端设备确定可进行BWP切换的时间点与该第二上行信号的发送时间点可能存在一定的间隔。如果终端设备在确定可进行BWP切换的时间即执行BWP切换,则可能导致在BWP切换的时间点与该第二上行信号的发送时间点之间存在一定的时间间隔,该时间间隔内网络设备与终端设备对当前工作的BWP的理解不一致。因此,为了保持网络设备与终端设备对激活BWP的理解一致性,终端设备需要在向网络设备发送该第二上行信号之前间隔一个时段开始执行BWP切换。
可选地,在本申请实施例中,该终端设备从该第一下行BWP切换至该第二下行BWP的开始时间与发送该第二上行信号的开始时间之间间隔第一时长。例如,如图5所示,该终端设备在T1时刻确定从下行BWP 1切换至下行BWP 2,以及在T2时刻开始从下行BWP 1切换至下行BWP 2,在T2时刻之后间隔第一时长向网络设备开始发送该第二上行信号。
需要说明的是,该第一时长可以是保证该终端设备开始下行BWP切换到下行BWP切换结束的最大时间。
可选地,该第一时长为预设的,或者,该第一时长为网络设备通过信令预先配置的。
例如,该网络设备预先通过信令向该终端设备发送第七配置信息,该第七配置信息用于配置该第一时长。
因此,在本申请实施例中,终端设备基于下行参考信号的测量,自主切换下行BWP和/或上行BWP的方案,满足卫星通信中由于卫星波束的快速切换导致的BWP快速切换的需求,可以有效节省网络侧的DCI开销,且由于减少了基于终端上报进行的切换流程,可以保证更加及时的BWP切换。
