具体实施方式
下面将结合附图，对本申请中的技术方案进行描述。
本申请实施例的技术方案可以应用于各种通信系统，例如：全球移动通信(global system for mobile communications，GSM)系统、码分多址(code division multiple access，CDMA)系统、宽带码分多址(wideband code division multiple access，WCDMA)系统、通用分组无线业务(general packet radio service，GPRS)、长期演进(long term evolution，LTE)系统、LTE频分双工(frequency division duplex，FDD)系统、LTE时分双工(time division duplex，TDD)、通用移动通信系统(universal mobile telecommunication system，UMTS)、全球互联微波接入(worldwide interoperability for microwave access，WiMAX)通信系统、未来的第五代(5th generation，5G)系统或新无线(new radio，NR)等。
通常来说，传统的通信系统支持的连接数有限，也易于实现，然而，随着通信技术的发展，移动通信系统将不仅支持传统的通信，还将支持例如，设备到设备(Device to Device，D2D)通信，机器到机器(Machine to Machine，M2M)通信，机器类型通信(Machine Type Communication，MTC)，以及车辆间(Vehicle to Vehicle，V2V)通信。
本申请实施例结合网络设备和终端设备描述了各个实施例，其中：
终端设备也可以称为用户设备(User Equipment，UE)、接入终端、用户单元、用户站、移动站、移动台、远方站、远程终端、移动设备、用户终端、终端、无线通信设备、用户代理或用户装置。终端设备可以是WLAN中的站点(STAION，ST)，可以是蜂窝电话、无绳电话、会话启动协议(Session Initiation Protocol，SIP)电话、无线本地环路(Wireless Local Loop，WLL)站、个人数字处理(Personal Digital Assistant，PDA)设备、具有无线通信功能的手持设备、计算设备或连接到无线调制解调器的其它处理设备、车载设备、可穿戴设备以及下一代通信系统，例如，5G网络中的终端设备或者未来演进的公共陆地移动网络(Public Land Mobile Network，PLMN)网络中的终端设备等。
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。
此外，网络设备可以是网络设备等用于与移动设备通信的设备，网络设备可以是WLAN中的接入点(Access Point，AP)，GSM或CDMA中的基站(Base Transceiver Station， BTS)，也可以是WCDMA中的基站(NodeB，NB)，还可以是LTE中的演进型基站(Evolutional Node B，eNB或eNodeB)，或者中继站或接入点，或者车载设备、可穿戴设备以及未来5G网络中的网络设备或者未来演进的PLMN网络中的网络设备等。
另外，在本申请实施例中，网络设备为小区提供服务，终端设备通过该小区使用的传输资源(例如，频域资源，或者说，频谱资源)与网络设备进行通信，该小区可以是网络设备(例如基站)对应的小区，小区可以属于宏基站，也可以属于小小区(Small cell)对应的基站，这里的小小区可以包括：城市小区(Metro cell)、微小区(Micro cell)、微微小区(Pico cell)、毫微微小区(Femto cell)等，这些小小区具有覆盖范围小、发射功率低的特点，适用于提供高速率的数据传输服务。
此外，LTE系统或5G系统中的载波上可以同时有多个小区同频工作，在某些特殊场景下，也可以认为上述载波与小区的概念等同。例如在载波聚合(Carrier Aggregation，CA)场景下，当为UE配置辅载波时，会同时携带辅载波的载波索引和工作在该辅载波的辅小区的小区标识(Cell Indentify，Cell ID)，在这种情况下，可以认为载波与小区的概念等同，比如UE接入一个载波和接入一个小区是等同的。
本申请实施例提供的方法和装置，可以应用于终端设备或网络设备，该终端设备或网络设备包括硬件层、运行在硬件层之上的操作系统层，以及运行在操作系统层上的应用层。该硬件层包括中央处理器(Central Processing Unit，CPU)、内存管理单元(Memory Management Unit，MMU)和内存(也称为主存)等硬件。该操作系统可以是任意一种或多种通过进程(Process)实现业务处理的计算机操作系统，例如，Linux操作系统、Unix操作系统、Android操作系统、iOS操作系统或windows操作系统等。该应用层包含浏览器、通讯录、文字处理软件、即时通信软件等应用。并且，本申请实施例并未对本申请实施例提供的方法的执行主体的具体结构特别限定，只要能够通过运行记录有本申请实施例的提供的方法的代码的程序，以根据本申请实施例提供的方法进行通信即可，例如，本申请实施例提供的方法的执行主体可以是终端设备或网络设备，或者，是终端设备或网络设备中能够调用程序并执行程序的功能模块。
此外，本申请实施例的各个方面或特征可以实现成方法、装置或使用标准编程和/或工程技术的制品。本申请中使用的术语“制品”涵盖可从任何计算机可读器件、载体或介质访问的计算机程序。例如，计算机可读介质可以包括，但不限于：磁存储器件(例如，硬盘、软盘或磁带等)，光盘(例如，压缩盘(Compact Disc，CD)、数字通用盘(Digital Versatile Disc，DVD)等)，智能卡和闪存器件(例如，可擦写可编程只读存储器(Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memory，EPROM)、卡、棒或钥匙驱动器等)。另外，本文描述的各种存储介质可代表用于存储信息的一个或多个设备和/或其它机器可读介质。术语“机器可读介质”可包括但不限于，无线信道和能够存储、包含和/或承载指令和/或数据的各种其它介质。
图1是本申请实施例的无线通信系统的示意图。如图1所示，该通信系统100包括网络设备102，网络设备102可包括1个天线或多个天线例如，天线104、106、108、110、112和114。另外，网络设备102可附加地包括发射机链和接收机链，本领域普通技术人员可以理解，它们均可包括与信号发送和接收相关的多个部件(例如处理器、调制器、复用器、解调器、解复用器或天线等)。
网络设备102可以与多个终端设备(例如终端设备116和终端设备122)通信。然而，可以理解，网络设备102可以与类似于终端设备116或终端设备122的任意数目的终端设备通信。终端设备116和122可以是例如蜂窝电话、智能电话、便携式电脑、手持通信设备、手持计算设备、卫星无线电装置、全球定位系统、PDA和/或用于在无线通信系统100上通信的任意其它适合设备。
如图1所示，终端设备116与天线112和114通信，其中天线112和114通过前向链路(也称为下行链路)118向终端设备116发送信息，并通过反向链路(也称为上行链路)120从终端设备116接收信息。此外，终端设备122与天线104和106通信，其中天线104和106通过前向链路124向终端设备122发送信息，并通过反向链路126从终端设备122接收信息。
例如，在频分双工(Frequency Division Duplex，FDD)系统中，例如，前向链路118可与反向链路120使用不同的频带，前向链路124可与反向链路126使用不同的频带。
再例如，在时分双工(Time Division Duplex，TDD)系统和全双工(Full Duplex)系统中，前向链路118和反向链路120可使用共同频带，前向链路124和反向链路126可使用共同频带。
被设计用于通信的每个天线(或者由多个天线组成的天线组)和/或区域称为网络设备102的扇区。例如，可将天线组设计为与网络设备102覆盖区域的扇区中的终端设备通信。网络设备可以通过单个天线或多天线发射分集向其对应的扇区内所有的终端设备发送信号。在网络设备102通过前向链路118和124分别与终端设备116和122进行通信的过程中，网络设备102的发射天线也可利用波束成形来改善前向链路118和124的信噪比。此外，与网络设备通过单个天线或多天线发射分集向它所有的终端设备发送信号的方式相比，在网络设备102利用波束成形向相关覆盖区域中随机分散的终端设备116和122发送信号时，相邻小区中的移动设备会受到较少的干扰。
在给定时间，网络设备102、终端设备116或终端设备122可以是无线通信发送装置和/或无线通信接收装置。当发送数据时，无线通信发送装置可对数据进行编码以用于传输。具体地，无线通信发送装置可获取(例如生成、从其它通信装置接收、或在存储器中保存等)要通过信道发送至无线通信接收装置的一定数目的数据比特。这种数据比特可包含在数据的传输块(或多个传输块)中，传输块可被分段以产生多个码块。
此外，该通信系统100可以是PLMN网络或者D2D网络或者M2M网络或者其他网络，图1只是举例的简化示意图，网络中还可以包括其他网络设备，图1中未予以画出。
下面，结合图2，以网络设备#A(即，网络设备的一例)与终端设备#A(即，终端设备的一例)之间传输参考信号#A 1(即，第一解调参考信号的一例)的过程为例，对本申请实施例的发送和接收参考信号的方法200进行详细说明，图2是本申请实施例的发送和接收参考信号的方法200的示意性交互图。在适用该方法200的通信系统(例如，上述通信系统100)中，可以存在至少两种类型的参考信号。
作为示例而非限定，在本申请实施例中，参考信号可以用于信道测量，进而用于解调，例如，本申请实施例中的参考信号可以包括解调参考信号(Demodulation Reference Signal，DMRS)。
该至少两种类型的参考信号包括：用于解调控制信息(或者说，控制信道)的参考 信号(以下，为了便于理解和区分，记作参考信号#1)，并且，作为示例而非限定，该控制信息可以包括下行控制信息(Downlink Control Information，DCI)，该控制信道可以包括物理下行控制信道(Physical Downlink Control Channel，PDCCH)。
并且，该至少两种类型的参考信号包括：用于解调数据(或者说，数据信道)的参考信号(以下，为了便于理解和区分，记作参考信号#2)，并且，作为示例而非限定，该数据可以包括下行数据，该数据信道可以包括物理下行数据信道(Physical Downlink Shared Channel，PDSCH)。
应理解，参考信号作为一种用于信道测量或信道估计的参考信号，仅为示例性说明，不应对本申请实施例构成任何限定，本申请并不排除在现有或未来的协议中采用其他的名称代替参考信号以实现其相同功能的可能。
在本申请实施例中，该至少两种类型的参考信号中的至少一种类型的参考信号对应至少两种配置信息，例如，上述参考信号#1可以具有两种或两种以上配置信息，和/或上述参考信号#2可以具有两种或两种以上配置信息。
在本申请实施例中，“配置信息”是下述各种参数的总称的一例，本申请并未特别限定，例如，“配置信息”也可以称为“模式”。
下面，对本申请实施例中的“配置信息”进行详细说明。
在本申请实施例中，该“配置信息”可以包括以下一种或多种参数。
参数A.密度(具体地说，是承载参考信号的时频资源在一个时频资源组中的密度)
作为示例而非限定，在本申请实施例中，每个时频资源组可以是包括至少两个时频资源。
作为示例而非限定，例如，该时频资源可以是资源单元(Resource Element，RE)，此情况下，该时频资源组可以为资源单元组(Resource Element Group，REG)。
以下，为了便于理解和区分，以REG作为时频资源组，对本申请实施例的发送和接收参考信号的方法进行详细说明。
在本申请实施例中，“密度”也可以称为参考信号密度，可以是指在一个时频资源组(例如，REG)中，用于承载参考信号的时频资源(例如，RE)所占的比例。
设参考信号密度为ρ，则ρ＝B/P。
其中，B表示在一个时频资源组(例如，REG)内，承载参考信号的时频资源(例如，RE)的数量，P表示该时频资源组所包括的全部时频资源的数量。
应理解，以上列举的时频资源的具体单位仅为示例性说明，本申请并未限定于此，本领域技术任意可以根据需要以任意单位对时频资源进行定义，相应地，以上列举的时频资源组中包括的元素也可以是以任意形式定义时频资源。
例如，该时频资源组可以定义为在时域上对应规定数量的符号、在频域上对应规定数量的子载波的时频资源。
此情况下，参考信号密度也可以是指，在一个时频资源组中，承载参考信号的子载波在该时频资源组所包括的全部子载波中的比例。
或者，此情况下，参考信号密度还可以是指，在一个时频资源组中，承载参考信号的符号在该时频资源组所包括的全部符号中的比例。
在本发发明实施例中，两种配置信息的参数相异可以是指：该两种配置信息中的一 方对应的参考信号密度与该两种配置信息中的另一方对应的参考信号密度相异。
图3示出了本申请实施例的可能的参考信号密度的一例的示意图。例如，如图3所示，某一类型的参考信号(例如，上述参考信号#1或参考信号#2)对应的配置信息a和配置信息d中，承载该参考信号的RE的数量为4，该REG中的总的RE数量为12，则该参考信号对应的配置信息a和配置信息d中该参考信号密度为4/12＝1/3。
再例如，如图3所示，该参考信号对应的配置信息b、配置信息c、配置信息e和配置信息f中，承载该参考信号的RE的数量为6，该REG中的总的RE数量为12，则该参考信号对应的配置信息b中参考信号密度为6/12＝1/2。
参数B.位置(具体地说，是承载参考信号的时频资源在一个时频资源组中的位置)
在本申请实施例中，“位置”也可以称为参考信号位置，可以是指在一个时频资源组(例如，REG)中，用于承载参考信号的时频资源(例如，RE)在该时频资源中的位置。其中，时频资源组的定义与针对“密度”的描述相似，这里，为了避免赘述，省略其详细说明。
应理解，以上列举的“位置”的定义仅为示例性说明，本申请并未限定于此，例如，该时频资源组可以定义为在时域上对应规定数量的符号、在频域上对应规定数量的子载波的时频资源。
此情况下，参考信号位置也可以是指，在一个时频资源组中，承载参考信号的子载波在该时频资源组所包括的全部子载波中的频域位置。
或者，此情况下，参考信号密度还可以是指，在一个时频资源组中，承载参考信号的符号在该时频资源组所包括的全部符号中的时域位置。
在本发发明实施例中，两种配置信息的参数相异可以指示：该两种配置信息中的一方对应的参考信号位置与该两种配置信息中的另一方对应的参考信号位置相异。
图3示出了本申请实施例的可能的参考信号位置的一例的示意图。例如，如图3所示，在本申请实施例中，对于具有不同密度的任意两个配置信息之间，参考信号的位置可以不同，例如，配置信息a和配置信息b中的任一配置信息(密度为1/3)对应的参考信号位置，可以与配置信息d、配置信息c、配置信息e和配置信息f中的任一配置信息(密度为1/2)对应的参考信号位置相异。
并且，在本申请实施例中，对于具有相同密度的两个配置信息之间，参考信号的位置可以可以不同，例如，配置信息a和配置信息b(密度为1/3)对应的参考信号位置可以不同。再例如，配置信息d、配置信息c、配置信息e和配置信息f中的任意两个配置信息(密度为1/2)对应的参考信号位置可以不同。
另外，需要说明的是，对于具有不同密度的任意两个配置信息之间，密度较小的配置信息对应的参考信号位置中的部分位置(或者说，该部分位置对应的时频资源)可以属于密度较大的配置信息对应的参考信号位置(或者说，该参考信号位置对应的时频资源)。
例如，配置信息a对应的参考信号位置中的部分参考信号位置可以属于配置信息d或配置信息c对应的参考信号位置。
再例如，配置信息d对应的参考信号位置中的部分参考信号位置可以属于配置信息e或配置信息f对应的参考信号位置。
作为示例而非限定，在本申请实施例中，密度较小的配置信息对应的参考信号位置 还可以是密度较大的配置信息对应的参考信号位置的子集。
参数C.序列(具体地说，是参考信号使用的序列)

在本申请实施例中，同一网络设备可通过CDM、频分复用(frequency division multiplexing，FDM)、时分复用(time division multiplexing，TDM)等方式来区分不同的天线端口(antenna port)。若采用FDM或者TDM，则不同天线端口的参考信号所占用的频域资源或者时域资源可以是不同的。若采用CDM，则不同天线端口的参考信号所占用的时频资源可以是相同的，而通过复用码来区分不同的天线端口。
另外，在本申请实施例中，CDM可以包括频域CDM和时域CDM。
并且，在本申请实施例中，可以支持将不同的参考信号配置于同一个符号内，即，多个(两个或两个以上)参考信号可以基于频域CDM方式发送。
需要说明的是，天线端口，也可以称为参考信号端口，或者，更具体地说，可以理解为未经过波束赋形(beamforming)预编码的参考信号端口。参考信号是由参考信号端口定义的，每个参考信号对应一个天线端口。
在本发发明实施例中，两种配置信息的参数相异可以指示：该两种配置信息中的一方对应的天线端口与该两种配置信息中的另一方对应的天线端口相异。
应理解，以上列举的“配置信息”包括的参数仅为示例性说明，本申请并未特别限定，其他能够区分不同配置信息的参数均落入本申请实施例的保护范围内。
在本申请实施例中，同一类型的参考信号(例如，上述参考信号#1或参考信号#2)可以对应多种(两种或两种以上)配置信息，或者说，同一参考信号(例如，属于参考信号#1或属于参考信号#2)可以对应多种配置信息，其中，同一参考信号对应的多个配置信息之间的上述参数A、参数B、参数C和参数D中的至少一种参数相异。

例如，如果参考信号#A 1属于用于解调数据的参考信号(即，上述参考信号#2)，则网络设备#A可以根据该参考信号#2对应的多个配置信息，确定为该参考信号#A 1对应的多个配置信息。

作为示例而非限定，在本申请实施例中，信息格式可以是指控制信息(例如，下行控制信息的)的信息格式。
在本申请实施例中，控制信息的功能可以包括但不限定于以下方面：上行传输或者下行传输的调度，请求非周期信道质量指示(Channel Quality Indicator，CQI)上报，通知上行功率控制命令等。其中不同的信息格式可以与有不同的功能。

超高可靠低时延通信(Ultra Reliability Low Latency Communication，URLLC)类型；
演进的移动宽带(Evolved Mobile Broadband，eMBB)类型。
具体地说，国际电信联盟无线通信委员会(ITU-R，International Telecommunications Union-Radio Communications Sector)定义了未来5G的3大类应用场景，分别是eMBB业务、海量连接的物联网(mMTC，Massive Machine Type Communication)业务和超高可靠性与超低时延(URLLC，Ultra Reliable & Low Latency Communication)业务，并从吞吐率、时延、连接密度和频谱效率提升等8个维度定义了对5G网络的能力要求。其中，eMBB业务主要要求大速率，广覆盖、传输时延以及移动性。URLLC业务的主要需求为极高可靠性、极低移动性和传输时延，一般要求无线空口在1毫秒(ms)内达到99.999％的传输可靠性。即，由于不同业务(或者说业务类型)对于传输可靠性的要求不同，因此，可以使不同的业务(或者说业务类型)使用不同配置信息的参考信号。
即，在本申请实施例中，不同的业务类型可以对应不同的信息格式，例如，信息格式A用于调度eMBB业务的传输，信息格式B用于调度eMBB业务的传输
以下表1示出了上述映射关系#1的一例。

作为示例而非限定，在本申请实施例中，信道格式可以是指用于承载控制信息的资源使用形式(例如，聚合等级)。
可选地，在本申请实施例中，可以根据控制信息所占用的控制信道单元(Control Channel Element，CCE)和REG的数量，而确定多种信道格式，以下表2示出了不同的信道格式之间的区别。
表2

信道格式3 配置信息#4(例如，密度为1/2)
应理解，以上表2列举的具体对应关系仅为示例性说明，本申请实施例并未限定于此，本领域技术人员可以根据实际需要，对映射关系#3进行任意设置或变更，只要能够确保基于某个信道格式能够唯一地确定一个配置信息即可。
从而，网络设备#A可以确定参考信号#A 1所解调的控制信息(以下，为了便于理解和区分，记作下行控制信息#A)对应的(具体的说，所承载于的信道的)信道格式(或者说，聚合等级)。
进而，网络设备#A可以基于下行控制信息#A对应的信道格式，将参考信号#A 1对应的多个配置信息中与下行控制信息#A对应的信道格式相对应的配置信息作为配置信息#A。
另外，作为示例而非限定，在本申请实施例中，多个信道格式可以与多种业务类型具有一一映射关系。
并且，作为示例而非限定，在本申请实施例中，该多种业务类型可以包括但不限于上述URLLC类型和eMBB类型。
并且，当参考信号的密度较高时，解调成功的可能性增大，因此传输的可靠性较大，因此，例如，对于参考信号#1，该参考信号#1用于解调URLLC业务的控制信息，则在传输该参考信号#1时，可以使用具有较大的密度(例如，1/2)的配置信息。此情况下，可以规定在传输URLLC业务时，可以使用信道格式2或信道格式3的控制信道传输控制信息，进而，可以基于上述表3，确定使用信道格式2或信道格式3对应的配置信息，传输参考信号。
再例如，对于参考信号#1，该参考信号#1用于解调eMBB业务的控制信息，则在传输该参考信号#1时，可以使用具有较小的密度(例如，1/3)的配置信息。此情况下，可以规定在传输eMBB业务时，可以使用信道格式0或信道格式1的控制信道传输控制信息，进而，可以基于上述表3，确定使用信道格式0或信道格式1对应的配置信息，传输参考信号。
方法3
在本申请实施例中，网络设备#A可以保存映射关系#2(即，第二映射关系的一例)，该映射关系#2可以用于指示多种(两种或两种以上)业务类型与多种(两种或两种以上)配置信息之间的一一映射关系。
作为示例而非限定，在本申请实施例中，该多种业务类型可以包括但不限于：
URLLC类型；
eMBB类型。
由于不同业务(或者说业务类型)对于传输可靠性的要求不同，因此，可以使不同的业务(或者说业务类型)使用不同配置信息的参考信号。
并且，当参考信号的密度较高时，解调成功的可能性增大，因此传输的可靠性较大，因此，例如，对于参考信号#1，该参考信号#1用于解调URLLC业务的控制信息，则在传输该参考信号#1时，可以使用具有较大密度(例如，1/2)的配置信息。
再例如，对于参考信号#1，该参考信号#1用于解调eMBB业务的控制信息，则在传输该参考信号#1时，可以使用具有较小密度(例如，1/3)的配置信息。
例如，对于参考信号#2，该参考信号#2用于解调URLLC业务的数据，则在传输该参考信号#2时，可以使用具有较大密度(例如，1/2)的配置信息。
再例如，对于参考信号#2，该参考信号#2用于解调eMBB业务的数据，则在传输该参考信号#2时，可以使用具有较小密度(例如，1/3)的配置信息。

应理解，以上表4列举的具体对应关系仅为示例性说明，本申请实施例并未限定于此，本领域技术人员可以根据实际需要，对映射关系#2进行任意设置或变更，只要能够确保基于某个业务类型能够确定传输该业务时使用的参考信号的配置信息即可。
从而，网络设备#A可以确定参考信号#A 1所解调的控制信息或数据所属于的业务的业务类型(以下，为了便于理解，记作：业务类型#A)。
进而，网络设备#A可以基于业务类型#A，将参考信号#A 1对应的多个配置信息中与业务类型#A相对应的配置信息作为配置信息#A。
并且，在S210，网络设备#A可以将该配置信息#A的指示信息(即，第一指示信息的一例)发送给终端设备#A。
从而，终端设备#A可以基于该指示信息，获知网络设备#A发送参考信号#A 1时(具体的说，是通过下述时频资源组#1发送参考信号#A 1时)使用的配置信息(即，配置信息#A)。
在S220，网络设备#A可以基于该配置信息#A，使用一个或多个时频资源组(以下，为了便于理解和区分，记作：时频资源组#1)，向终端设备#A发送参考信号#A 1，并且，网络设备可以向终端设备#A发送需要通过该参考信号#A 1解调的下行信息。
例如，当该配置信息#A的参数包括参考信号密度时，在上述一个或多个时频资源组#1中的每个时频资源组#1中，参考信号的密度为该配置信息#A对应的参考信号密度。
再例如，当该配置信息#A的参数包括参考信号位置时，参考信号#A 1在上述一个或多个时频资源组#1中位置为该配置信息#A对应的参考信号位置。

需要说明的是，在本申请实施例中，上述需要通过该参考信号#A解调的下行信息可以包括，下行数据#A 1(即，第一下行数据的一例)或下行控制信息#A(即，第一下行控制信息的一例)。
并且，当该下行信息包括下行控制信息#A时，在本申请实施例中，该参考信号#A还可以用于解调下行数据#A 2(即，第二下行数据的一例)
下面，对上述过程进行详细说明。
在本申请实施例中，数据或信息可以通过资源集合进行发送，其中，一个资源集合可以包括一个或多个时频资源组。
作为示例而非限定，在本申请实施例中，用于传输控制信息的资源集合也可以称为控制资源集合(Control Resource Set，CORESET)。
并且，一个CORESET可以包括多个REG(即，时频资源组的一例)。
以下，为了便于理解和区分，将用于承载下行控制信息#A和参考信号#A的COREST记作资源集合#1(即，第一资源集合的一例)。
作为示例而非限定，例如，如图4所示，该资源集合#1在时域上可以占用一个符号，在频域上可以占用6个子载波。再例如，如图5所示，该资源集合#1在时域上可以占用一个符号，在频域上可以占用16个子载波。
应理解，以上列举的资源集合#1的结构(例如，占用的子载波或符号的数量)仅为示例性说明，本申请并未特别限定，本领域技术人员可以根据需要，对资源集合#1占用的符号或子载波的数量进行任意设置或变更。
可选地，在本申请实施例中，网络设备#A还可以通过资源集合#2向终端设备#A发送下行数据#A 2。
此情况下，在本申请实施例中，可以提供两种方式传输下行数据#A 2。
方式1，下行数据#A 2基于参考信号#A解调。
在本申请实施例中，基于同一参考信号解调的控制信息(例如，下行控制信息#A)和数据(例如，下行数据#A 2)所分别占用的两个资源集合(例如，资源集合#2与资源集合#1)之间需要满足规定的(时域或频域)位置关系。
可选地，在本申请实施例中，资源集合#2与资源集合#1在频域上的间隔需要小于或等于预设的阈值#1(即，第二阈值的一例)，作为示例而非限定，该阈值#1可以是通信系统或协议规定的值，例如，该阈值#1可以是1个RB或RB组对应的频域资源的大小(例如，6个子载波)。
作为示例而非限定，例如，如图4所示，资源集合#2_1(即，资源集合#2的一例)占用的子载波与资源集合#1_1(即，资源集合#1的一例)占用的子载波可以相同(即，频域上的间隔为0的一例)。
再例如，如图4所示，资源集合#2_2(即，资源集合#2的另一例)占用的子载波与资源集合#1_1占用的子载波可以相邻(即，频域上的间隔为0的另一例)。
再例如，如图4所示，资源集合#2_3(即，资源集合#2的再一例)占用的子载波与资源集合#1_1占用的子载波可以相邻(即，频域上的间隔为0的一例)。
再例如，如图5所示，资源集合#2_4(即，资源集合#2的再一例)占用的子载波与资源集合#1_2(即，资源集合#1的另一例)占用的子载波可以相同(即，频域上的间隔为0的一例)。
应理解，以上图4或图5所列举的资源集合#2与资源集合#1之间的位置关系仅为示例性说明，本申请并未限定于此，例如，该资源集合#2占用的子载波与资源集合#1占用的子载波之间也可以间隔有一个或多个(小于或等于阈值#1)子载波。
可选地，在本申请实施例中，资源集合#2与资源集合#1在时域上的间隔需要小于或等于预设的阈值#2(即，第一阈值的一例)，作为示例而非限定，该阈值#2可以是通信系统配置或预设置的值。配置是指需要网络设备给终端终端发送配置信息的，例如，该阈值#2可以是1个RB或RB组对应的时域资源的大小(例如，1或2个符号)。
作为示例而非限定，例如，如图4所示，资源集合#2_1或资源集合#2_3占用的符号与资源集合#1_1占用的符号可以相邻(即，频域上的间隔为0的一例)。
例如，如图4所示，资源集合#2_2占用的符号与资源集合#1_1占用的符号可以相同(即，频域上的间隔为0的另一例)。
再例如，如图5所示，资源集合#2_4占用的子载波与资源集合#1_2占用的符号可以相邻(即，频域上的间隔为0的另一例)。
应理解，以上列举的位置关系，仅为示例性说明，本申请并未限定于此。例如，当一个资源集合为RB或RB组时。可能存在尽管资源集合#2与资源集合#1之间满足上述位置关系，但是资源集合#1中用于承载控制信息#A和参考信号#A的时频资源组#1(例如，一个或多个REG)与资源集合#2中的部分时频资源组(以下，为了便于理解和说明，记作时频资源组#2)之间的(在频域上或时域上)的间隔较大，此情况下，如果基于参考信号#A对承载于时频资源组#2中的数据进行解调，则解调的成功率较低，可能导致传输的可靠性下降。
对此，在本申请实施例中，资源集合#1中用于承载控制信息#A和参考信号#A的时频资源组#1与资源集合#2中用于承载下行数据#A 2的时频资源组(即，第三时频资源组的一例，以下，为了便于理解和说明，记作：时频资源组#3)需要满足规定的(时域或频域)位置关系。
可选地，该位置关系可为：时频资源组#1与时频资源组#3在频域上的间隔需要小于或等于预设的阈值#3(即，第四阈值的一例)。作为示例而非限定，该阈值#3可以是通信系统或协议规定的值，例如，该阈值#3可以是1个RB或RB组对应的频域资源的大小(例如，6个子载波)。
或者，该位置关系可为：时频资源组#1与时频资源组#3在时域上的间隔需要小于或等于预设的阈值#4(即，第三阈值的一例)。作为示例而非限定，该阈值#4可以是通信系统或协议规定的值，例如，该阈值#4可以是1个RB或RB组对应的时域资源的大小(例如，1或2个符号)。
作为示例而非限定，例如，设用于解调下行数据的参考信号(以下，为了便于理解和区分，记作：参考信号#X)的序列长度(例如，在一个符号上的序列的长度)为t，其中，该参考信号#X的序列长度t可以根据用于承载该参考信号#X的时频资源(例如，PRB)的数量确定，例如，该长度t可以基于公式(1)确定。
设该用于承载该参考信号#X的(例如，连续的)时频资源为时频资源#0～时频资源#n(例如，该时频资源#0～时频资源#n对应一个符号)，其中，该时频资源#0～时频资源#n中的(例如，连续的)时频资源#m～时频资源#k被配置为用于承载控制信息的CORESET，并且，设该时频资源#m～时频资源#k承载的用于解调控制信息的参考信号(以下，为了便于理解和区分，记作：参考信号#Y)的序列长度为u。
则，网络设备可以在时频资源#0～时频资源#m-1中，承载参考信号#X的序列中的前p个序列(或者说，参考信号#X的长度为t的序列中的第1个序列至第p个序列)，其中，该p个序列的具体值可以与该时频资源#0～时频资源#m-1的大小相对应。
并且，网络设备可以不在时频资源#m～时频资源#k中承载参考信号#X的序列中自该p个序列之后的u个序列(或者说，参考信号#X的长度为t的序列中的第p+1个序列至第p+u个序列)，并且，下行数据可以基于在时频资源#m～时频资源#k中承载的参考信号#Y进行解调。
并且，网络设备可以在时频资源#k～时频资源#n承载参考信号#X的序列中的后t-p-u个序列(或者说，参考信号#X的长度为t的序列中的第p+u+1个序列至第t个序列)。
即，在本申请实施例中，参考信号#X的长度为t的序列中，自第p+1个序列至第p+u个序列被跳过。
需要说明的是，在本申请实施例中，上述参考序列的长度可以指一个符号上的序列的长度，即，基于上述公式(1)产生的序列的长度是一个符号上的序列的长度，上述t的值可以是基于上述公式(1)产生的序列的长度。
或者，上述参考序列的长度可以指多个符号(例如，一个传输时间间隔TTI包括的多个符号)上的序列的长度，即，基于上述公式(1)产生的序列的长度是多个符号上的序列的长度，上述t的值可以是基于上述公式(1)产生的序列的长度中位于包括该CORESET的一个符号上的序列的长度。
如图4所示，在本申请实施例中，当同一个符号(例如，符号#1)上承载有下行数据和下行控制信息双方时，如果用于解调下行数据(例如，下行数据#A 2)的DMRS所需要映射在的时频资源(例如，RE#1)与用于解调下行控制信息(例如，下行控制信息#A)的DMRS所需要映射在的时频资源(例如，RE#1)相同时，则该RE#1上不映射解调下行数据的DMRS。此情况下，可以基于用于解调下行控制信息(例如，下行控制信息#A)的DMRS对该下行数据(例如，下行数据#A 2)进行解调。
并且，如图5所示，当同一个符号(例如，符号#2)上未承载下行控制信息，即，只承载下行数据(例如，下行数据#A 2)时，如果用于解调该下行数据(例如，下行数据#A 2)的DMRS需要映射在的时频资源(例如，RE#2)所对应的频率范围与用于解调下行控制信息(例如，下行控制信息#A)的DMRS所需要映射在的时频资源(例如，RE#3)所对应的频率范围相同，则在RE#2上不映射解调下行数据的DMRS。此情况下，可以基于用于解调下行控制信息(例如，下行控制信息#A)的DMRS对该下行数据(例如，下行数据#A 2)进行解调。
可选地，在本申请实施例中，网络设备#A可以基于预编码矩阵#A(即，第一预编码矩阵的一例)对参考信号#A和下行控制信息#A进行预编码处理。
并且，网络设备#A还可以基于该预编码矩阵#A对用于承载下行数据#A 2的资源集合 (即，资源集合#2)中承载的数据(包括下行数据#A 2)进行预编码处理。
并且，当资源集合#2中承载有参考信号(以下，为了便于理解和说明，记作：参考信号#A 2)时，网络设备#A还可以基于该预编码矩阵#A对参考信号#A 2进行预编码处理。
需要说明的是，该参考信号#A 2和参考信号#A 1的配置信息(具体的说，是配置信息所包括的各参数)可以相同也可以不同，本申请并未特别限定。
可选地，当资源集合#1占用一个或多个RB(或RB组)时，网络设备#A还可以根据预编码矩阵#A对RB组#A 1中承载的数据进行预编码处理，其中，RB组#A 1包括资源集合#1所占用的RB(或RB组)。
并且，当RB组#A 1中承载有参考信号(以下，为了便于理解和说明，记作：参考信号#A 3)时，网络设备#A还可以基于该预编码矩阵#A对参考信号#A 3进行预编码处理。
可选地，当资源集合#2占用一个或多个RB(或RB组)时，网络设备#A还可以根据预编码矩阵#A对RB组#A 2中承载的数据进行预编码处理，其中，RB组#A 2包括资源集合#2所占用的RB(或RB组)。
并且，当RB组#A 2中承载有参考信号(以下，为了便于理解和说明，记作：参考信号#A 4)时，网络设备#A还可以基于该预编码矩阵#A对参考信号#A 4进行预编码处理。
例如，如图6所示，在符号#A中，资源集合#1(占用1～6号RE)占用RB组#1和RB组#2(具体的说，是RB组#1和RB组#2中的部分RE)，因此，可以网络设备#A可以基于预编码矩阵#A，对RB组#1和RB组#2中承载的参考信号和数据进行预编码处理。
再例如，如图6所示，在符号#A中，资源集合#1未占用RB组#3中的时频资源，并且，RB组#3中未承载需要基于参考信号#A进行解调的数据或控制信息，因此，可以网络设备#A可以不基于预编码矩阵#A，对RB组#3中承载的参考信号和数据进行预编码处理。
再例如，如图6所示，在符号#B中，资源集合#2(占用7～12号RE)占用RB组#4和RB组#5(具体的说，是RB组#4和RB组#5中的部分RE)，或者说，RB组#4和RB组#5中承载有需要基于参考信号#A解调的数据，因此，可以网络设备#A可以基于预编码矩阵#A，对RB组#4和RB组#5中承载的参考信号和数据进行预编码处理。
再例如，如图6所示，在符号#B中，资源集合#6未占用RB组#3中的时频资源，并且，RB组#6中未承载需要基于参考信号#A进行解调的数据或控制信息，因此，可以网络设备#A可以不基于预编码矩阵#A，对RB组#6中承载的参考信号和数据进行预编码处理。
即，在本申请实施例中，如果下行控制信道在同一个或连续N个REG内，则下行控制信道以及其关联的DMRS要使用相同的预编码矩阵，其中，N可以为系统预设的值，例如，N可以为一个RB组包括的REG的数量。
并且，在本申请实施例中，在同一个或者连续M个RB内下行数据信道以及其关联的DMRS要使用相同的预编码矩阵，其中，M可以为系统预设的值，例如，N可以为一个RB组包括的RB的数量。
例如，如图6所示，资源集合#1中一个资源单元组REG内使用同一个预编码矩阵，在符号#B上，下行数据信道映射时，在一个RB组内，下行数据信道和其关联的DMRS使用同一个预编码矩阵。因为符号#B上资源单元5和6和资源集合#1在频域上位于相同 的位置，则PRB组4内所有RE使用和REG内的下行控制信道相同的预编码矩阵。同理，PRB组5内所有RE也使用和REG内的下行控制信道相同的预编码矩阵。
为便于理解本申请实施例，下面，对预编码处理在无线通信中的过程进行简单说明。下行物理信道处理过程的处理对象为码字，码字通常为经过编码(至少包括信道编码)的比特流。码字(code word)经过加扰(scrambling)，生成加扰比特流。加扰比特流经过调制映射(modulation mapping)，得到调制符号流。调制符号流经过层映射(layer mapping)，被映射到多个层(layer)，为便于区分和说明，在本申请实施例以中，可以将经层映射之后的符号流称为层映射空间层(或者称，层映射空间流、层映射符号流)。层映射空间层经过基于预编码矩阵的预编码(precoding)处理，得到多个预编码数据流(或者称，预编码符号流)。预编码符号流经过资源粒子(RE)映射，被映射到多个RE上。这些RE随后经过正交频分复用(orthogonal frequency division multiplexing，OFDM)调制，生成OFDM符号流。OFDM符号流随后通过天线端口(antenna port)发射出去。
根据本申请实施例的发送或接收参考信号的方法，通过基于相同的预编码矩阵对共用同一参考信号进行解调数据和控制信息使用同一预编码矩阵进行预编码处理，能够减小预编码处理的复杂度以及信道设计的复杂度，从而，能够减小网络设备的处理负担，提高通信效率。

此情况下，可以基于基于预设的偏移量，对用于解调下行数据(例如，下行数据#A 2)的DMRS所需要映射在的时频资源，例如，时频资源组#1’中的时频资源进行偏移，并在偏移后的时频资源上发送用于解调下行数据(例如，下行数据#A 2)的DMRS。

其中，网络设备可以通过高层信令(如SIB或者RRC信令)半静态地指示该预设的偏移量。
或者，网络设备可以通过物理层信令(如下行控制信息DCI)动态地指示该预设的偏移量。可选地，在本申请实施例中，当时频资源组#1是资源集合#1中的部分时频资源组时，不失一般性，资源集合#1中除该时频资源组#1以外的一个或多个时频资源组为时频资源组#4(即，第二时频资源组的一例)，则网络设备#A还可以通过时频资源组#4中的向终端设备#A发送下行数据#A 4和参考信号#A 4(即，第二解调参考信号的一例)。其中，下行数据#A 4基于参考信号#A 4解调。
