具体实施方式
下面将结合附图，对本申请实施例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：全球移动通讯(global system of mobile communication，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、第五代(5th generation，5G)系统、新无线(new radio，NR)、固移融合网络系统或未来的第六代(6th generation，6G)等。
本申请实施例中的终端设备可以是任意的终端，可以指用户设备、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。终端设备还可以是机器类通信的用户设备、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)、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、5G网络中的终端设备或者未来演进的公用陆地移动通信网络(public land mobile network，PLMN)中的终端设备等。终端设备还可以是支持反射通信的终端设备，比如标签。终端设备可以支持唤醒接收机，也可以不支持唤醒接收机，本申请实施例对此并不限定。
本申请实施例中的网络设备可以是用于与终端设备通信的设备，是网络侧的一种用来发送或接收信号的实体。该网络设备可以是全球移动通讯(global system of mobile communication，GSM)系统或码分多址(code division multiple access，CDMA)中的基站(base transceiver station，BTS)，也可以是宽带码分多址(wideband code division multiple access，WCDMA)系统中的基站(NodeB，NB)，还可以是LTE系统中的演进型基站(evolutional NodeB，eNB或eNodeB)，还可以是下一代基站(the next generation NodeB，gNB或gNodeB)，还可以是云无线接入网络(cloud radio access network，CRAN)场景下的无线控制器，或者该网络设备可以为中继站、接入点、车载设备、可穿戴设备以及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。本申请实施例中，基站可以是宏基站，也可以微基站，小基站，或者杆站。基站可以是支持接收通过发射通信传输的数据的基站，也可以是支持发送唤醒信号的基站，本申请实施例并不限定。
图1是本申请的应用场景示意图，本申请实施例主要应用于LTE系统或高级的长期演进(LTE Advanced，LTE-A)系统或NR系统。本申请也可以应用于其它的通信系统，只要该通信系统中存在实体可以发送信息，该通信系统也存在其它实体可以接收信息即可。
如图1所示，基站1，基站2，终端1～终端6组成一个通信系统，在该通信系统中，基站1发送信息给终端1～终端4中的一个或多个终端设备。基站1通过基站2发送信息给终端5和终端6中的一个或多个终端设备。此外，终端设备3和终端设备4也组成一个通信系统，在该通信系统中，终端设备3可以发送信息给终端设备4。基站2，终端5和终端6也组成一个通信系统，该通信系统中，基站2可以发送信息给终端5和终端6中的一个或多个终端设备。
本申请实施例可以应用在物联网(internet of things，IoT)系统中，进一步地，可以应用在无源物联通信系统，在该通信系统中，终端设备不依赖电池供电。
从实现角度，无源物联通信系统中的终端设备可分为三种类型：被动(passive)标签、半被动(semi-passive)标签以及主动(active)标签。
三种类型终端设备的差别在于：
被动标签自身不产生载波信号，上行通过反射并调制外部载波的方式传输数据，反射信号功率取决于下行接收信号功率(可低至-30dBm)，且反射信号不经过功率放大。被动标签功耗通常约1uW。
半被动标签同样自身不产生载波信号，上行通过反射并调制外部载波的方式传输数据，但反射信 号经过功率放大(例如，放大增益10dB～15dB)，反射信号功率取决于下行接收信号功率(可低至-50dBm)和功率放大增益。被动标签功耗通常约100uW。
主动标签自身可产生载波信号，上行可基于自身载波信号调制并传输数据，且上行信号发射功率不取决于下行接收信号功率，经过功率放大可达到较大功率(例如，-20dBm～-10dBm)。主动标签功耗通常达200～500uW。
需要说明的是，在本申请实施例中，具备上述特征终端设备或者终端设备的部分都可以被称为标签(tag)即标签不仅可以表示无源物联通信系统中具备上述特征终端设备或者终端设备的部分，也可以表示在其他通信系统中具备上述特征终端设备或者终端设备的部分，示例性地，其他通信系统可以是蜂窝移动通信系统。
三种标签中，被动标签主要适用于短距通信，例如室内小站头端间距20～30米的较密集部署场景；半被动标签通信距离通常可达NLOS信道下100～200米，适用于中短距通信，例如室内小站以及室外(园区)杆站站间距200～300米的场景；主动标签通信距离通常可达NLOS信道下300～500米，室内小站以及室外杆站和宏站场景均可采用。
无源物联通信系统支持standalone、guard-band以及in-band三种模式，进一步地，低端物联类型的窄带通信系统采用guard-band或in-band模式工作，从而充分利用现有频域资源和设备。
当采用guard-band或in-band模式工作时，无源物联通信系统中的终端设备接收到的下行信号中包含功率较高(例如，总功率比无源物联下行信号高10dB以上)的邻频异系统(例如，LTE或NR)宽带(例如，10MHz、20MHz或100MHz)干扰信号。此时，标签下行接收包络检波后得到的基带信号信干比可能低于0dB，而标签达成峰值速率所需信干噪比通常约10dB，即标签传输可靠性和效率受到邻频异系统干扰的严重影响。
对于主动标签，由于其本身功耗较高，且自身可产生载波信号，故可采用射频滤波以及中频滤波等方法进行窄带滤波，在包络检波之前对邻频宽带干扰进行抑制，从而保障解调性能基本不受影响。然而，射频及中频滤波也意味着标签需在频段内进行扫频，以检测无源物联通信系统所采用的频带。为便于标签扫频检测，基站需发送周期性Beacon，使标签能够更快速可靠地锁定工作频带。此外，无源物联通信系统可以通过多载波并发的方式提升容量。
图2是本申请一实施例方法200的流程示意图，如图2所示，本申请实施例中，第一终端设备可以是无源物联通信系统中的终端设备，第一网络设备可以是无源物联通信系统中的网络设备，第一信号可以是Beacon信号，第一时间单元可以是无线系统中的子帧，第二时间单元可以是无线系统中的帧，第三时间单元可以是无线系统中的超帧。
示例性地，在NR系统中，第三时间单元由1024个第二时间单元构成，第二时间单元由10个第一时间单元确定，第一时间单元的时长等于1ms，第二时间单元的时长等于10ms，第三时间单元的时长等于10240ms。
S210，第一网络设备在p个第一载波上周期性地发送p个第一信号，该第一信号可以用于第一终端设备确定工作的频域资源，还可以用于第一终端设备完成定时和频率同步。该第一信号可以承载有第一标识，该第一标识用于表示第一网络设备服务的小区或对应的第一网络设备。
在一种可能的实现方式中，第一网络设备在p个第一载波上周期性地广播p个第一信号。
具体地，第一信号的时长可以等于N个第一时间单元的时长，N为大于1且小于等于20的整数。
示例性地，在LTE或NR中，第一信号的时长等于LTE或NR的帧长(10ms)或半帧长(5ms)或两倍帧长(20ms)。
需要说明的是，本申请实施例中的每个第一信号的时长相互独立即每个第一信号的时长可以相同也可以不相同。示例性地，若生成了三个第一信号，则第一个第一信号的时长可以是5ms，第二个第一信号的时长可以是10ms，第三个第一信号的时长可以是20ms或三个第一信号的时长都为10ms。
在一种可能的实现方式中，第一信号的时长也可以表示为2的幂次方个第一时间单元的时长。
示例性地，在LTE或NR中，第一信号的时长可以等于21、22、23或24ms。
本申请实施例中，第一信号的周期时长可以等于2的幂次方个第二时间单元的时长，且不超过一个第三时间单元的时长，需要说明的是，本申请实施例中，第一信号的周期指的是发送第一信号的周期。
示例性地，在LTE或NR中，第一信号的周期时长等于2m*10ms，m为正整数，m大于或等于2且m小于或等于10。
此外，第一信号的周期时长还需要大于或者等于物理广播信道PBCH的长度，确保在一个PBCH中的第一信号的个数不超过一个。
示例性地，若PBCH时长150ms，则第一信号的周期时长须配置为大于或者等于150ms的值。
需要说明的是，与第一信号的时长类似，本申请实施例中的每个第一信号的周期时长相互独立即每个第一信号的周期时长可以相同也可以不相同。
本申请实施例中的第一信号的长度及周期时长均远大于LTE/NR/NB-IoT系统中具有类似功能的同步信号，适配无源物联通信系统对第一终端设备低复杂度基带处理的要求，使得无源物联通信系统中的第一终端设备可以通过第一信号确定工作频带并进行定时和频率同步。
本申请实施例中，第一信号的起始位置距离所在的第三时间单元的起始位置k个第二时间单元的时长，k大于或等于0且k小于所述第三时间单元中所述第二时间单元的个数，k为整数。本申请实施例中，第一信号的起始位置指的是第一网络设备发送第一信号的起始位置。
示例性地，第一信号的起始位置距离该第一信号所在第三时间单元的的起始位置10*(a*2m+b)毫秒，a和b均为整数，a大于或等于0且a小于210-m，b大于或等于0且b小于2m。
需要说明的是，本申请实施例中，每个第一信号的起始位置都满足上述限制条件，并且每个第一信号的具体取值可以相同也可以不同，本申请对此不做限定。
进一步地，第一信号的起始位置可在一定范围内浮动，即第一信号可以存在时域偏置。
示例性地，第一信号的时域偏置可以是c*10ms，c的取值可以是-1、-2、-4、-8、0、1、2、4、8。其中，若c的取值为-1，则表示第一信号的起始位置在10*(a*2m+b)毫秒的基础上提前10ms；若c的取值为1，则表示第一信号的起始位置在10*(a*2m+b)毫秒的基础上延迟10ms，其他取值同理，在此不做赘述。
本申请实施例中，第一载波的带宽为n*180kHz，n大于或者等于1且n小于或者等于4，n为整数。应理解，上述p个第一载波中的每个载波都满足上述限制条件，每个第一载波对应的n的取值可以不同，示例性地，存在三个第一载波，第一个第一载波的带宽为180kHz，第二个第一载波的带宽为360kHz，第三个第一载波的带宽为720kHz。
若p大于1时，则上述p个第一信号承载的第一标识可以相同，进一步地，上述p个第一信号可以相同。
在一种可能的实现方式中，第一信号承载有小区ID并且不同载波承载的小区ID可以相同。
进一步地，上述p个第一信号的时域配置不同，具体地，第一信号的时域配置可以包括第一信号的时长、发送第一信号的周期时长和第一信号的时域偏置中的至少一项。
进一步地，上述p个第一信号的时域不重叠，示例性地，可以通过给不同第一载波上的第一信号配置不同的时域偏置使得第一信号的时域不重叠。
本申请提出在无源物联通信系统多载波并发场景下，可以在多个第一载波发送第一信号，在各第一载波进行传输的标签无需切换频率即可完成同步校准。多个第一载波采用相同的第一标识或第一信号，有利于降低第一终端设备同步复杂度；不同第一载波的第一信号的时域配置不同，有利于第一终端设备快速检测以及减少不同第一载波的第一信号干扰；不同第一载波的第一信号时域位置不重叠，有利于采用包络检波的标签更快完成初始信号检测及后续同步，提高工作效率。
无源物联通信系统不同小区可能采用相同或部分相同的频域资源，即多小区基于全部或部分载波同频组网。若第一载波上承载有通过第一小区发送的第一信号和通过第二小区发送的第二信号，其中，所述第二信号用于其他终端设备确定工作的频域资源，第二小区是与第一小区不同的小区，第一小区是第一终端设备的服务小区，则第一信号与第二信号的时域配置不同。
进一步地，第一信号与第二信号均时域不重叠。
在一种可能的实现方式中，上述第二小区是与第一小区相邻的小区。
本申请实施例中，同频载波采用不同时域配置的信号，进一步使同频载波上的信号的时域不重叠，有利于降低其他信号的干扰，提高终端设备检测的可靠性，若同频载波上的信号来自相邻小区，则也有利于终端设备进行邻区检测或测量。
S220，第一终端设备根据第一信号确定工作的频域资源，进一步地，第一终端设备根据第一信号进行定时和频率同步。
具体地，第一终端设备在一个或多个备选的频域资源上进行检测，当检测到第一信号时，可以确定工作的频域资源，其中，频域资源为频带或者载波。
进一步地，若第一终端设备只检测到一个第一载波上的第一信号，则第一终端设备的工作的频域资源为该第一载波；若第一终端设备检测到多个第一载波上的第一信号，则从该多个第一载波中选择一个作为工作的频域资源。
示例性地，第一终端设备选择承载有质量最好或信号最强的第一信号的第一载波作为工作的频域资源。
本申请实施例中，定义了适合无源物联通信系统的第一终端设备扫频检测工作频带及同步的方法，该方法对应的第一信号的时长适配无源物联终端处理能力限制，周期适配资源效率及无源物联业务时延的需求，时域偏置适配同小区不同载波或不同小区同频载波的干扰协调需求。
而且，在guard-band和in-band模式下，第一信号周期可以与LTE或NR的帧结构和超帧结构匹配。
