An indication information receiving method, a sending method, a device, an apparatus and a storage medium provided by the embodiments of the present application are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

Referring to fig. 2, fig. 2 is a flowchart of an uplink transmission method according to an embodiment of the present application, and as shown in fig. 2, the method includes the following steps:

step 201, the terminal receives indication information, where the indication information is used to enable or disable a target configuration, and the target configuration indicates at least one of maintaining phase continuity and power constancy among multiple uplink transmissions.

The indication information may be indication information sent by the terminal receiving network side device, and specifically may be indication information dynamically sent by the terminal receiving network side device. The disabling of the target configuration may also be referred to as turning off the target configuration, or disabling the target configuration. In addition, in the embodiment of the present application, the above target configuration may also be referred to as a target function, that is, the function is enabled or disabled by the above indication information.

The phase continuation may be that the phases of multiple uplink transmissions are completely continuous, or the change of the phases of multiple uplink transmissions is within a preset range. The power constancy may be the same for multiple uplink transmissions, or the power variation of multiple uplink transmissions is within a preset range.

The plurality of uplink transmissions may be a plurality of Physical Uplink Shared Channels (PUSCHs), but are not limited to this, and may be, for example, a plurality of Physical Uplink Control Channels (PUCCHs). In addition, the multiple uplink transmissions may be repeated transmissions of the same transport block, or may be different transport blocks, or may be transmissions (TB processing over multiple-slots) of the same transport block in multiple slots (slots). And the multiple uplink transmissions may be transmitted in the same slot or in different slots.

Further, discontinuous transmission may be performed between the multiple uplink transmissions, so that the terminal does not need to meet an off-power requirement (off-power requirement) when the multiple uplink transmissions are separated by one or more symbols or time slots, so as to achieve at least one of constant power and continuous phase between the discontinuous transmissions. The above-mentioned off-power requirement means that the radiation power cannot exceed the index requirement of the preset threshold under the condition that the terminal turns off the transmitter. The terminal may not turn off the transmitter when not transmitting signals when it is not required to meet the requirement to maintain at least one of constant power and continuous phase between the discontinuous transmissions.

In addition, in case that the indication information is used to enable (enable) a target configuration, the terminal enables the target configuration, i.e., maintains at least one of phase continuity and power constancy when transmitting the plurality of uplink transmissions. In the case where the above-mentioned indication information does not enable (disable) the above-mentioned target configuration, the terminal does not enable (may also be referred to as turning off, disabling) the above-mentioned target configuration, i.e., the terminal does not need to maintain at least one of phase continuity and power constancy, such as entering an off-power requirement state, so that power consumption of the terminal can be saved.

In the embodiment of the application, the terminal can be flexibly indicated to enable or disable the target configuration through the indication information, so that the flexibility of the terminal in working can be improved.

In addition, since at least one of phase continuity and power constancy is maintained for a plurality of uplink transmissions, the network side device can perform joint channel estimation for the plurality of uplink transmissions to improve the receiving performance. For example: the terminal may maintain at least one of phase continuity and power constancy in the process of transmitting multiple PUSCHs, and when receiving the multiple PUSCHs, the network side device may obtain channel information for other PUSCH transmissions based on a Demodulation Reference Signal (DMRS) of one of the PUSCHs to implement joint channel estimation on the multiple PUSCHs, for example, the network side device may perform joint channel estimation using the DMRS in the multiple PUSCHs to improve reception performance, and the joint channel estimation technique may also be referred to as a DMRS bundling (DMRS bundling) technique.

As an optional implementation, the target configuration indicates at least one of:

maintaining phase continuity between the plurality of uplink transmissions for at least one time window or duration;

maintaining a constant power between the plurality of uplink transmissions for at least one time window or duration;

maintaining phase continuity between a plurality of uplink transmissions of at least one uplink physical channel;

maintaining a constant power between a plurality of uplink transmissions of at least one uplink physical channel;

maintaining phase continuity between a plurality of upstream transmissions of at least one upstream signal;

the power is maintained constant between a plurality of uplink transmissions of at least one uplink signal.

In this embodiment, the target configuration may include one or more configurations, for example, each configuration corresponds to multiple uplink transmissions within a time window or duration, or each configuration corresponds to multiple uplink transmissions of an uplink physical channel or an uplink signal. In addition, the above-mentioned indication information may enable a partial configuration or not enable a partial configuration.

In this embodiment, at least one of phase continuity and power constancy can be maintained for a plurality of uplink transmission configuration terminals of at least one time window, duration, at least one uplink physical channel, or at least one uplink signal, thereby improving the transmission performance of the terminal.

As an optional implementation manner, the indication information is contained in at least one of the following items:

a Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH), and a Media Access Control Element (MAC-CE).

In this embodiment, the PDCCH or MAC-CE is supported to transmit the indication information, thereby improving the indication flexibility of the indication information.

Optionally, the PDCCH includes at least one of:

group Common (GC) -PDCCH, scheduling PDCCH.

In this embodiment, the indication information may be transmitted on at least one of the GC-PDCCH and the scheduling PDCCH, for example, the indication information may be jointly coded with other indication contents in the GC-PDCCH or the scheduling PDCCH, or an indication field of the indication information may be newly added in the GC-PDCCH or the scheduling PDCCH.

In this embodiment, since the indication information is transmitted through at least one of the GC-PDCCH and the scheduling PDCCH, an additional message can be avoided to reduce the system overhead.

Optionally, the target field in the GC-PDCCH is the indication information, and the target field is a field indicated by the network side or agreed by a protocol.

In this embodiment, it can be achieved that the terminal may determine whether to enable the target configuration according to the target field only when receiving the GC-PDCCH, so as to save power consumption of the terminal. In a case that the target field is indicated by the network, the network may indicate a start bit and a bit number of the target field in the GC-PDCCH, for example, in a case that the GC-PDCCH includes Downlink Control Information (DCI), the network may indicate the start bit and the bit number of the target field in the DCI, so that the terminal may determine positions of the target bits.

Optionally, in a case that the target configuration includes a plurality of configurations, each bit in the target field is used to enable or disable at least one configuration, respectively;

wherein each of the plurality of configurations respectively indicates maintaining at least one of phase continuity and power constancy among a plurality of uplink transmissions.

The plurality of uplink transmissions corresponding to different configurations in the plurality of configurations are different, where the difference may be different in time, different in type, or the like.

In this embodiment, the plurality of configurations can be flexibly configured by the target field, such that a part of the configurations are enabled simultaneously, and a part of the configurations are not enabled.

In addition to the GC-PDCCH, in the embodiment of the present application, in other embodiments, the indication information may indicate that one or more configurations are enabled or disabled at the same time.

Optionally, in the GC-PDCCH or the scheduling PDCCH, the indication information is jointly coded with a target information field.

The target information field is an information field defined by a protocol in the GC-PDCCH or the scheduling PDCCH, so that an additional information field can be avoided in the GC-PDCCH or the scheduling PDCCH, and the complexity of the GC-PDCCH or the scheduling PDCCH can be reduced.

Optionally, the GC-PDCCH is used for sending a Power Control command, and the target information field in the GC-PDCCH includes a Transmit Power Control (TPC) command field.

In this embodiment, joint coding of the TPC command field and the indication information may be implemented to reduce the complexity of the GC-PDCCH.

Optionally, the target information field in the scheduling PDCCH includes at least one of the following:

a Time Domain Resource Allocation (TDRA) field, a TPC command field, an information field indicating precoding, an information field indicating the number of layers, and an information field indicating antenna ports.

In this embodiment, a TDRA) field, a TPC command field, an information field indicating precoding, an information field indicating the number of layers, an information field indicating antenna ports, and the above indication information may be jointly encoded, thereby reducing the complexity of scheduling the PDCCH.

As an optional implementation manner, in a case that the indication information is used to enable the target configuration, the terminal enables the target configuration within T time units after receiving the indication information, where T is an integer greater than or equal to 1.

Wherein, the T is defined by a protocol or configured by a network side, and the time unit may be a time unit such as a time slot, a sub-time slot, a symbol, a subframe, and the like.

In this embodiment, when the indication information is used to enable the target configuration, the target configuration may be enabled within T time units from the reception of the indication information, that is, the target configuration is valid within T time units.

In addition, in a case where the target configuration includes a plurality of configurations and the indication information indicates that partial configurations are enabled, the terminal enables only the partial configurations for the T time units.

Optionally, the terminal disables the target configuration when the T time units end.

In this embodiment, it can be realized that the terminal uses the target configuration when the T time units end, that is, turns off (may also be called as disabling) the target configuration.

As an optional implementation manner, in a case that the indication information is used to enable the target configuration, the terminal transmits, for the multiple uplink transmissions, a target transmission manner, where the target transmission manner enables at least one of phase continuity and power constancy to be maintained among the multiple uplink transmissions, where the target transmission manner satisfies at least one of the following conditions:

the modulation modes are the same, the frequency positions and bandwidths are the same, the transmission powers are the same, the beams are the same, the Transmitted Precoding Matrix Indicators (TPMI) are the same, and the waveforms are the same.

Wherein, the same modulation mode means that the modulation modes of the plurality of uplink transmissions are the same; the same frequency position means that the frequency positions of the plurality of uplink transmissions are the same; the same bandwidth means that the bandwidths of the plurality of uplink transmissions are the same; the transmission power being the same means that the transmission power of the plurality of uplink transmissions is the same; the same beam means that the beams for the plurality of uplink transmissions are the same, for example: the transmission spatial filters (spatial Tx filters) of a plurality of uplink transmissions are the same; the above TPMI is the same, which means that the TPMI of a plurality of uplink transmissions is the same; the same waveforms refer to the same waveforms of the multiple uplink transmissions, for example: the discrete fourier transform spread orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (DFT-s-OFDM) or cyclic prefix orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (CP-OFDM) waveforms of the multiple uplink transmissions are identical.

In this embodiment, at least one of phase continuity and power constancy can be maintained among the plurality of uplink transmissions by the target transmission method, so that the reception performance of the uplink transmissions can be improved.

In the embodiment of the application, a terminal receives indication information, wherein the indication information is used for enabling or not enabling target configuration, and the target configuration indicates at least one of maintaining phase continuity and power constant among a plurality of uplink transmissions. Thus, the target configuration can be flexibly enabled or not enabled through the indication information, and the flexibility of the terminal operation is improved.

Referring to fig. 3, fig. 3 is a flowchart of an indication information sending method according to an embodiment of the present application, and as shown in fig. 3, the method includes the following steps:

step 301, the network side device sends indication information, where the indication information is used to enable or disable target configuration of the terminal, and the target configuration indicates that at least one of phase continuity and power constancy is maintained among multiple uplink transmissions.

Optionally, the target configuration indicates at least one of:

Optionally, the indication information includes at least one of:

a physical downlink control channel PDCCH and a media access control unit MAC-CE.

Optionally, the PDCCH includes at least one of:

group common GC-PDCCH, scheduling PDCCH.

The target information field in the scheduling PDCCH includes at least one of:

time domain resource allocation TDRA domain, TPC command domain, information domain indicating precoding, information domain indicating layer number and information domain indicating antenna port.

Optionally, when the indication information is used to enable the target configuration, the network side device performs joint channel estimation on the multiple uplink transmissions in T time units after the terminal receives the indication information.

It should be noted that, this embodiment is used as an implementation of the network side device corresponding to the embodiment shown in fig. 2, and for the specific implementation of this embodiment, reference may be made to the relevant description of the embodiment shown in fig. 2, so as to avoid repeated description, and this embodiment is not described again. In this embodiment, the flexibility of the terminal operation can be improved.

The method provided in the embodiments of the present application is illustrated by the following specific embodiments:

example 1:

in this embodiment, the network side device may configure the target configuration for the terminal through a high-level signaling, that is, the terminal is required to maintain at least one of power constancy (power constancy) and phase continuity (phase constancy) among a plurality of uplink transmissions; and the network side device may enable or disable the target configuration through the MAC-CE or the PDCCH.

In this embodiment, the network side may provide a plurality of configurations to the terminal, and the terminal is required to maintain at least one of constant power and continuous phase according to the configurations.

For example: as shown in fig. 4, the network side may configure a plurality of time windows (windows)/durations (duration), and the terminal needs to keep at least one of power constancy and phase continuity for the duration of one window/duration. The starting time or length corresponding to different window/duration configurations may be different, and the physical channel or physical signal required to keep phase continuity and power constant in each configuration may also be different, for example, a partial configuration only requires at least one of power continuity and phase continuity to be kept between PUSCHs; partial configuration requires that both PUSCH and PUCCH/SRS be kept at least one of constant power and continuous phase.

The network may or may not enable at least one of the configurations through the MAC-CE or PDCCH. The index value of the configuration may be included in the MAC-CE or PDCCH, or a bitmap (bitmap) may be included, where each bit of the bitmap corresponds to the enabling or disabling of one or a group of configurations.

If the Network side equipment sends the indication information through the PDCCH, the PDCCH is a GC-PDCCH, under the condition, the Network side configures the terminal in a range corresponding to a Radio Network Temporary Identity (Radio Network Temporary Identity RNTI) of the GC-PDCCH, configures the initial bit and the bit length of the indication information in the PDCCH, and configures at least one or one group of corresponding bits to enable the configuration of the function.

Preferably, the GC-PDCCH is a PDCCH for transmitting a TPC command, and further, power control command information in the GC-PDCCH and indication information indicating whether the target configuration is enabled are jointly encoded, for example, as shown in table 1:

table 1:

if the network side equipment sends the indication information through the PDCCH, the target configuration is enabled or not enabled through the PDCCH under the condition that the PDCCH is scheduled; either each configuration, at least one or a group of configurations corresponding to each bit, is enabled or disabled.

Preferably, joint coding is performed by using power control command information in the scheduling PDCCH and indication information of whether to enable the target configuration, which may specifically be according to the corresponding description of the GC-PDCCH, and is not described herein again.

Alternatively, joint coding is performed using the TDRA in the scheduling PDCCH and whether the above target configuration is enabled, e.g., each code point in the TDRA is used to indicate the following information as shown in table 2 in addition to the time domain scheduling information

Table 2:

in addition, for the scheduling PDCCH, for example, DCI format (DCI format) 0-1, information fields indicating precoding/layer number (layers)/antenna port (antenna port) may be used to indicate enabling or disabling information, bits in the information fields may be used to indicate enabling or disabling of the target configuration, or target configuration may be indicated by a joint coding method, for example: as shown in tables 3 and 4:

table 3:

table 4:

bit field indexing	Number of layers/TPMI	DMRS binding enable/disable
			0	1layer:TPMI＝0	Is not enabled
1	1layer:TPMI＝1	Is not enabled
			…	…

			X	1layer:TPMI＝0	Enable the
Y	1layer:TPMI＝1	Enable to

In addition, in this embodiment of the present application, the network side device may send different indication information for different terminals, for example: for the terminals with poor coverage at the edge of the cell, the target configuration is enabled through the indication information, so that the transmission performance of the terminals can be improved; for a terminal with better coverage, the target configuration is not enabled through the indication information, so that the flexibility of terminal transmission is improved, and the complexity of joint channel estimation performed by a network can be reduced. In addition, when the terminal enables the target configuration, because off-power requirement does not need to be satisfied, when no signal is sent, radiation is increased, and the interference level of the system is increased, so that the interference level of the system is reduced by disabling the target configuration, that is, the network side device can flexibly control the working interference level of the terminal in the cell through the indication information.
