Step 11, the terminal equipment acquires configuration information, wherein the configuration information is used for sending an instruction by the terminal equipment and comprises the number of sending points and the number of control resource groups corresponding to each sending point; the configuration information makes the resources of the control resource group of each transmission point orthogonal.
In step 11, for example, the base station apparatus transmits configuration information including a transmission point identifier and a control resource group to the terminal apparatus. And configuring a control resource group for each transmitting point, wherein the control resource groups of different transmitting points are mutually orthogonal. The configuration information includes a plurality of sending point identifiers. Preferably, each sending point identifier corresponds to 1-3 control resource groups.
For example, a transmission point identifier (TRP ID) is added to the higher layer configuration signaling (RRC) to indicate for which transmission point the set of control resources is to transmit downlink control signaling. And configuring the maximum 3 control resource groups for each sending point by the terminal through the high-level configuration information, so that the terminal can be configured with the control resource groups with 3 times of the sending points at most. When the base station configures the control resource group resources, the control resource group resources of different sending points are ensured to be orthogonal, so that when the control channels of different sending points are repeatedly sent, the terminal can accurately solve the control resource group resources, and the reliability of control information is ensured.
The number of downlink transmission points is configurable, and the physical maximum number depends on the number of transmission antennas and the number of panels of the base station equipment. When using the transmission point identification, it is also limited to the number of identified bits, e.g., a maximum of 128 are supported.
Step 12, the terminal device determines that N transmission points are transmitting and M control resource groups (for example, M is 3) of each transmission point according to the configuration information;
step 13, the terminal device detects Downlink Control Information (DCI) in the corresponding search space according to the configured control resource group;
here, the downlink control information is searched, detected, and then received. The search space of the terminal device corresponds to a control resource group of a transmitting point.
And step 14, the terminal equipment activates the beam directions of different control resource groups according to the configuration information by combining with the MAC CE of the PDCCH, and repeatedly receives the downlink control information in different beam directions at different transmitting points.
In step 14, for example, the MAC CE that the base station device sends downlink control signaling to the terminal device activates the transmission beam direction of each control resource group.
Further, the method also comprises the following steps: and the terminal equipment receives downlink control information in the direction of the activated transmission beam of at least one control resource group for scheduling service data.

Step 21, the terminal device obtains configuration information, the configuration information indicates the terminal device to activate a TCI state related to a transmitting point, and the TCI state is used for indicating a transmitting beam direction of a downlink data channel of the transmitting point;
in step 21, for example, the base station device sends configuration information to the terminal device, indicating that the terminal activates a TCI state associated with a sending point, for indicating a sending beam direction;
step 22, the terminal equipment determines the beam direction of the transmitting point according to the configuration information;
specifically, the activated TCI state of the scheduled data corresponding to each transmitting point is determined according to the configuration information, so that the beam direction available for each transmitting point to transmit the data is determined. That is, the beam directions of these transmission points are activated.
