Description

Beam switching method and device and communication equipment
Technical Field
The present invention relates to the field of wireless communications technologies, and in particular, to a method and an apparatus for switching beams, and a communication device.
Background
In the existing communication protocol, the beam failure recovery process includes: 1) The terminal detects the failure of the wave beam; 2) The terminal identifies alternative beams; 3) The terminal sends a Beam Failure Recovery Request (BFRQ) to the base station; 4) The terminal listens to the base station's response to the BFRQ.
The method for the terminal to detect the beam failure is as follows: terminal detection reference signal set
Figure BDA0003853042480000011
Quality of the medium reference signal, wherein
Figure BDA0003853042480000013
Configured by the base station or determined according to a Transmission Configuration Indication State (TCI State) of a control resource set (CORESETs). When in use
Figure BDA0003853042480000016
All reference signal quality in (1) is below Q out,LR Then, a beam failure (beam failure instance) is counted, and when the number of beam failure instances exceeds a defined number within a certain time, it is determined that a beam failure has occurred. The terminal identifies the alternative beam to pick out the reference signal set
Figure BDA0003853042480000012
Middle RSRP is greater than or equal to Q in,LR The reference signal of (1).
The existing communication protocol introduces a multi-TRP technology, that is, a terminal can establish a communication link with multiple Transmission Receiving Points (TRPs) for data Transmission, and the multiple TRPs can improve the reliability or Transmission rate of Transmission by sending the same or different data. As shown in fig. 1, assuming that TRP1 and TRP2 belong to the same cell, according to the existing beam failure detection mechanism, the base station configures a reference signal set for detecting link quality of TRP1 and TRP2
Figure BDA0003853042480000014
When the temperature is higher than the set temperature
Figure BDA0003853042480000015
All reference signals in the signal are of lower quality than Q out,LR Then the beam failure instance is accounted for once.
However, in a multi-TRP scenario, a situation may occur in which a link between a terminal and only a certain TRP is blocked, for example, in fig. 1, TRP1 cannot communicate with the terminal, and TRP2 still communicates with the terminal, and this situation may be referred to as partial beam failure. In order to guarantee the reliability of communication or transmission rate, the terminal should switch to other available beams of TRP1 or communicate with the terminal; if the link quality between the TRP3 and the terminal is better, the terminal can also carry out multi-TRP transmission with the TRP2 and the TRP 3. However, in the existing mechanism, the terminal can only detect whether beam failure occurs, but cannot detect the occurrence of partial beam failure, which affects the reliability or transmission rate of communication.
