The MRS mainly performs radio resource management (RRM) measurement, channel state information obtaining, and power control, and may also be used for fine synchronization, wireless link monitoring, and beam tracking. The RRM measurement result of the MRSs of a plurality of ports may calculate the RRM parameter of a cell. If the STB carries a beam, the MRS may also be used for obtaining coarse beam or fine beam information according to different types of the carried beams. In the implementation, the MRS is often expressed using a common definition “port”, which is called the MRS port, but the port category in a common sense cannot fully cover the characteristics of the MRS. The port of the MRS may be an antenna port or a beam port, or a combined port of an antenna port and a beam port, and a plurality of beam ports may exist on one antenna port. The MRS is very flexible and the form thereof may be predefined or dynamically specified. The MRS may be a narrowband signal or a wideband signal, or may use a sparse pattern distribution, as shown in
The first type STB is in a full-signal mode, that is, the STB includes all three types of signals, and has complete functions.
