The following describes a method for determining a timing relationship applied to a terminal device, with reference to fig. 1 to 3.

Fig. 1 illustrates a method for determining a timing relationship according to an embodiment of the present application, applied to a terminal device. As shown in fig. 1, the method may include the steps of:

step 101, receiving state indication information, where the state indication information is used to determine a state of a target resource, where the state includes: an activated state (activated state) or a new state (Dormant state), the new state being a state between the activated state and a deactivated state (deactivated state), the target resource comprising: at least one of a secondary cell and a bandwidth part BWP.

The status indication information may be carried in a Radio Resource Control (RRC) message, a MAC CE, a bandwidth part switching command BWP switching message, and the like according to an actual situation.

And 102, determining a target time for executing a preset operation related to the target resource based on the receiving time of the state indicating information and a preset time interval.

The preset time interval may be configured or preconfigured by RRC, or may be agreed by a protocol, which is not specifically specified in the embodiment of the present invention, and is described only by way of example below.

The predetermined operation comprises one or more of the following operations: starting or restarting a deactivation timer of the target resource, and reporting channel state information of the target resource, and so on. Wherein the channel state information may include at least one of the following parameters: a Channel Quality Indicator (CQI), a Precoding Matrix Indicator (PMI), a Rank Indicator (RI), a Precoder Type Indicator (PTI), and a Channel State Reference signal (CSI-RS, CRI) resource Indicator, and so on. Hereinafter, abbreviated as "at least one of CQI, PMI, RI, PTI, and CRI".

As an example, in step 102, a time after a preset time interval has elapsed from the time of receiving the status indication information may be determined as the target time.

For example, if the receiving time of the status indication information is time n, time n + k may be determined as the target time, where k is the preset time interval, and the unit of n and k may be a slot (slot) or a symbol (symbol).

Optionally, after the step 102, the method for determining a timing relationship provided in the embodiment of the present application may further include: and executing the predetermined operation related to the target resource.

The method for determining the timing relationship provided by the embodiment of the invention can receive the state indication information for determining the state of the target resource, and determine the target time for executing the predetermined operation related to the target resource based on the receiving time of the state indication information and the preset time interval. Therefore, the timing relationship of the activation or restart of the deactivation timer corresponding to the secondary cell and the timing relationship of the channel state information report of the secondary cell and the BWP can be determined, so that the network device can accurately acquire the channel state information of the secondary cell or the BWP, and the resource scheduling efficiency is improved.

The above-described method for determining the timing relationship is described below with reference to a more specific embodiment.

In an example, the target cell is a secondary cell, the state indication information is carried in an RRC message, and the state indication information is used to indicate the terminal device to configure the state of the secondary cell as the active state, where the method for determining the timing relationship may further include:

starting or restarting a deactivation timer (sCellDeactivationTimer) of the secondary cell at the target time.

For example, assuming that the receiving time of the terminal device receiving the RRC carrying the state indication information is time n, the start or restart operation may be performed on the deactivation timer of the secondary cell at time n + k 1. Where k1 may be equal to 20, and the units of n and k1 may be slots or symbols (symbols).

In this example, an interaction process between the terminal device and the network device is as shown in fig. 2, and after a Measurement report of a cell subcarrier is completed (Measurement report trigger for SCC cell), the terminal device 201 sends a message carrying the Measurement report to the network device 202; then, the network device 202 sends an RRC message to the terminal device, where the RRC message configures the state of the secondary cell to which the terminal device belongs as an active state; finally, the terminal device 201 may also send a configuration completion message to the network device 202 after completing the status configuration of the secondary cell.

It is to be noted that, in this example, it is clear that when the secondary cell is configured by the RRC directly to the active state, the timing relationship of the deactivation timer corresponding to the secondary cell is started or restarted.

In another example, the target resource is a secondary cell, the state indication information is carried in an RRC message, and the state indication information is used to indicate the terminal device to configure the state of the secondary cell as the new state, where the method for determining the timing relationship may further include:

and starting or restarting a deactivation timer of the secondary cell at the target time, and reporting the channel state information of the secondary cell.

For example, assuming that the receiving time of the terminal device receiving the RRC carrying the state indication information is time n, the terminal device may perform a start or restart operation on the deactivation timer of the secondary cell at time n + k1, and perform an operation of reporting the channel state information of the secondary cell. Where k1 may be equal to 20, and the unit of n and k1 may be a slot (slot) or a symbol (symbol), and the channel state information of the secondary cell may include, but is not limited to: at least one of CQI, PMI, RI, PTI, and CRI.

It is also easy to find that, in this example, it is clear that when the secondary cell is directly configured to the new state by the RRC, the timing relationship of the deactivation timer corresponding to the secondary cell is started or restarted, and the timing relationship of the channel state information of the secondary cell is reported.

In another example, the target resource is a secondary cell, the state indication information is carried in a MAC CE, and the state indication information is used to indicate the terminal device to convert the state of the secondary cell into the new state, where the method for determining the timing relationship may further include:

For example, assuming that the receiving time of the MAC CE carrying the state indication information received by the terminal device is time n, at the time n + k2, a start or restart operation may be performed on the deactivation timer of the secondary cell, and an operation of reporting the channel state information of the secondary cell may be performed. Where k2 may be equal to 8, and the unit of n and k2 may be a slot (slot) or a symbol (symbol), and the channel state information of the secondary cell may include, but is not limited to: at least one of CQI, PMI, RI, PTI, and CRI.

It should be understood that, in this example, it is clear that when the terminal device converts the state of the secondary cell into a new state according to the MAC CE, the timing relationship of the deactivation timer corresponding to the secondary cell is started or restarted, and the timing relationship of the channel state information of the secondary cell is reported.

In another example, the target resource is at least one bandwidth part of the terminal device, the status indication information is carried in an RRC message, and the status indication information is used to indicate that the terminal device configures a status of one or more bandwidth parts of the at least one bandwidth part to an active status or a new status, where the method for determining the timing relationship may further include:

and reporting the channel state information of the one or more bandwidth parts at the target time.

For example, assuming that the receiving time of the RRC carrying the status indication information received by the terminal device is time n, the operation of reporting the channel status information of the one or more bandwidth parts may be performed at time n + k 3. Where k3 may be equal to 8, the units of n and k3 may be slots (slots) or symbols (symbols), and the channel state information of the one or more bandwidth parts may include, but is not limited to: at least one of CQI, PMI, RI, PTI, and CRI.

It is to be understood that, in this example, when it is clear that the state configuration of the one or more bandwidth parts is configured as the active state or the new state by the RRC, the timing relationship of the channel state information of the one or more bandwidth parts is reported.

In another example, the target resource is at least one bandwidth part of the terminal device, the state indication information is carried in a bandwidth part switching instruction BWP switching, and the state indication information is used to indicate the terminal device to switch one or more deactivated bandwidth parts of the at least one bandwidth part to an activated state or a new state, where the method for determining the timing relationship may further include:

and reporting the channel state information of the bandwidth part of the one or more deactivated states at the target moment.

For example, assuming that the receiving time of the BWP switching carrying the status indication information by the terminal device is time n, the operation of reporting the channel status information of the bandwidth part of the one or more deactivated statuses may be performed at time n + k 3. Where n may be the last OFDM symbol of the control resource set (Coreset); k3 may be equal to 8, the unit of k3 may be a slot (slot) or a symbol (symbol); the channel state information of the one or more deactivated bandwidth portions may include, but is not limited to: at least one of CQI, PMI, RI, PTI, and CRI.

It should be understood that, in this further example, the timing relationship of reporting the channel state information of the one or more deactivated bandwidth portions when the terminal device switches the state of the one or more deactivated bandwidth portions to the active state or the new state based on BWP switching is specified.

Optionally, on the basis of the further example, as shown in fig. 3, step 102 in fig. 1 may specifically include:

substep 301, determining whether a time after a preset time interval from the receiving time of the state indication information is between the starting time and the ending time of a physical uplink control channel PUCCH; if so, perform substep 302, otherwise, perform substep 303.

Substep 302, determining the starting time of the PUCCH as the target time, or determining the next PUCCH starting time as the target time.

Substep 303 determines a time after a preset time interval has elapsed from the time of receiving the status indication information as the target time.

In summary, the method for determining a timing relationship provided by the embodiments of the present invention receives status indication information, where the status indication information is used to determine a status of a target resource, where the status includes: an active state or a new state, the new state being a state between the active state and a deactivated state, the target resource comprising: at least one of a secondary cell and a bandwidth part BWP; and determining a target time for executing a predetermined operation related to the target resource based on the receiving time of the state indicating information and a preset time interval. Thereby solving the following problems: the method comprises the steps that a terminal device directly configures secondary cells into an active state and a new state based on RRC, the terminal device converts the state of the secondary cells into the new state based on MAC CE, the terminal device configures one or more BWPs into the active state or the new state based on RRC, and the terminal device starts or restarts a deactivation timer corresponding to the secondary cells and reports the ambiguous and ambiguous timing relation of channel state information of the secondary cells and the BWPs when the terminal device converts one or more BWPs into the active state or the new state based on BWPswitching. So that the network device can accurately acquire channel state information of the secondary cell or BWP.
