210, receiving configuration information sent by a network device, where the configuration information is used to configure at least two control resource sets that are partially or completely overlapped on a time-frequency resource and a configuration parameter corresponding to each control resource set in the at least two control resource sets, and configuration parameters corresponding to any two control resource sets in the at least two control resource sets are different.

Optionally, the at least two control resource sets include a user-specific control resource set for transmitting a user-specific PDCCH and a common control resource set for transmitting a common PDCCH or a user-specific PDCCH.

It is to be appreciated that a common PDCCH for multiple terminal devices can be transmitted on a common set of control resources.

For example, the size of the parameter REG bundles for any two of the at least two control resource sets are different.

For example, the network device configures the REG bundle size of one control resource set to be 2, the REG bundle size of another control resource set to be 3, and the REG bundle size of another control resource set to be 6.

It should be understood that two control resource sets that are all coincident on a time-frequency resource are still different control resource sets, and on one hand, the types of the control resource sets may be different, for example, one is a user-specific control resource set and the other is a common control resource set; second, the configuration parameters of the control resource sets may be different, for example, the REG bundle size in the configuration parameters of one control resource set is 2, and the REG bundle size in the configuration parameters of another control resource set is 6.

220, monitoring the PDCCH on the overlapped time-frequency resource according to the configuration parameter corresponding to the first control resource set of the at least two control resource sets.

Optionally, the first set of control resources is the common set of control resources.

In a first mode, receiving indication information sent by the network device, where the indication information is used to indicate that the PDCCH is monitored on the overlapped time-frequency resource according to a configuration parameter corresponding to the common control resource set.

And a second mode is that the PDCCH is monitored on the overlapped time-frequency resource according to the configuration parameter corresponding to the common control resource set in a pre-configuration mode.

For example, the PDCCH may be monitored on the overlapped time-frequency resource by pre-configuring, through a protocol, configuration parameters corresponding to the common control resource set.

As shown in fig. 3, the network device configures 3 common control resource sets for the terminal device, which are denoted as CORESET a, CORESET b, and CORESET c, where CORESET a is located in time slot 0, CORESET b is located in time slot 4, and CORESET c is located in time slot 8.

The network device configures different configuration parameters for each of the 11 sets of control resources (8 user-specific sets of control resources and 3 common sets of control resources).

As shown in fig. 3, in time slot 0, CORESET 0 and CORESET a are all overlapped on a time-frequency resource, and at this time, the terminal device monitors the user-specific PDCCH on CORESET 0 by using configuration parameters corresponding to CORESET a. In the time slot 4, the CORESET 4 and the CORESET b are completely overlapped on the time-frequency resource, and at this time, the terminal device monitors the user-specific PDCCH on the CORESET 4 by using the configuration parameters corresponding to the CORESET b.

As shown in fig. 3, the terminal device monitors the user specific PDCCH on CORESET 1, CORESET 2, CORESET 3, CORESET 5, CORESET 6, and CORESET 7 by using the configuration parameters corresponding to each control resource set, respectively. And the terminal equipment monitors the public PDCCH by adopting the configuration parameters corresponding to the CORESET c on the CORESET c.

It should be understood that, in the above fig. 3, the specific number of control resource sets configured by the network device is only an example, and the application is not limited thereto.

Optionally, as shown in fig. 4, of the 11 control resource sets (8 user-specific control resource sets and 3 common control resource sets) configured by the network device, CORESET 0 partially coincides with CORESET a on time-frequency resources, and CORESET 4 partially coincides with CORESET b on time-frequency resources. The specific configuration and monitoring scheme is consistent with the description of fig. 3, and will not be described herein again.
