Description

Method for determining beam information, terminal and network side equipment

Technical Field

The application belongs to the technical field of wireless communication, and particularly relates to a method for determining beam information, a terminal and network side equipment.

Background

When the bandwidth of one frequency band is large, a beam squint phenomenon may occur due to a difference in signal propagation characteristics at different frequency positions. For example, a large bandwidth frequency band edge frequency point and a large bandwidth frequency band center frequency point have a deviation in a beam direction, and when a network performs beam training according to the center frequency point and selects an optimal beam, the optimal beam is used to transmit a channel in a full bandwidth, and the beam direction at the edge frequency point will have a deviation, so that the quality of a beam link will also deteriorate.

In a Carrier Aggregation (CA) mode, if a User Equipment (UE) uses an independent beam management manner, an optimal beam is independently selected on a Primary Carrier (PCC) and a Secondary Carrier (SCC). In this case, different CCs may have relatively optimal transceiving performance, but the disadvantage is that signaling overhead is large and the architecture design of the UE is more complicated.

However, if the UE structure is simplified to reduce the cost for saving signaling overhead, and only the PCC or SCC is beam-managed, how to determine the beam of another carrier so as to align the beam link between the network and the UE on the carrier has not been an effective solution.

The following describes in detail a method for determining beam information provided by embodiments of the present application with reference to the accompanying drawings.

Fig. 2 is a flowchart illustrating a method for determining beam information in an embodiment of the present application, where the method 200 may be performed by a terminal. In other words, the method may be performed by software or hardware installed on the terminal. As shown in fig. 2, the method may include the following steps.

S210, the terminal measures the signal quality on at least one first RS resource to be measured according to the received configuration information, wherein the first RS resource to be measured corresponds to a first object.

In the related art, when performing beam measurement, a network side device configures configuration information of a beam report for a terminal, where the configuration information is associated with reference Signal resource setting (RS resource setting), where the setting includes at least one reference Signal resource set (RS resource set), and each set includes at least one RS resource, such as a Synchronization Signal/physical broadcast Channel Signal Block (or Synchronization Signal Block) (Synchronization Signal and PBCH Block, SSB) resource (resource) or a Channel State information reference Signal (CSI-RS) resource. The terminal measures the layer 1 Reference Signal Received Power (RSRP) and/or the layer 1 Signal-to-noise and Interference plus noise Ratio (SINR) of each RS Resource, and reports at least one optimal measurement result to the network, wherein the report content comprises SSB Resource Indicator (SSBRI) or CSI-RS Resource Indicator (CRI), and L1-RSRP and/or L1-SINR. In addition, in the configuration information of the beam report, it may be indicated whether the report is a packet-based beam report. If not, the UE will report at least one optimal beam and its quality for the network side to determine the beam to use to send channels or signals to the UE. If the UE is a packet-based beam report (packet-based beam report), the UE reports a pair of beams and their quality, and when the network side uses the pair of beams to send information to the UE, the UE can receive the information at the same time.

In this embodiment, the network side device may include, in the configuration information, at least one first RS resource to be measured corresponding to the first object.

The first RS resource to be measured corresponding to the first object may include one of the following:

(1) A first RS resource to be measured in a first RS resource set (resource set) to be measured corresponding to a first object;

(2) A first RS resource to be measured in a first RS resource setting (resource configuration or resource setting) to be measured corresponding to the first object;

(3) And the first RS resource to be measured in the first RS resource group to be measured corresponding to the first object.

The corresponding relation between the first object and the first to-be-measured RS resource can be determined in the following way:

(1) Adding a number or an ID of a first object to the first RS resource to be measured, the first RS resource to be measured setting, the first RS resource set to be measured (set), or the first RS resource group to be measured, for example, adding a number or an ID of a first object to the reference signal resource setting (setting), or the RS resource set included in the RS resource setting, or the RS resource in the RS resource set, or the description information of the RS resource group includes a number or an ID of a first object, and using the RS resource setting, the RS resource set, the RS resource group, or the RS resource group to correspond to the first object;

(2) Configuring a first RS resource to be measured, a first RS resource setting to be measured, a first RS resource set (set) to be measured or a first RS resource group to be measured in the configuration information of the first object; that is, the first RS resource to be measured corresponding to the first object is configured in the configuration information of the first object, where the configuration information may be one or more RS resources, or may be one RS resource setting, that is, all RS resources in the RS resource setting are indicated to correspond to the first object, or may also be one or more RS resource sets or RS resource groups.

(3) The configuration information of the CSI report includes the first RS resource to be measured, the setting of the first RS resource to be measured, the set (set) of the first RS resource to be measured, or the association or mapping relationship between the first RS resource group to be measured and the number or ID of the first object.

(4) The network side device indicates, through signaling, an association or mapping relationship between the first RS resource to be measured, the first RS resource to be measured setting, the first RS resource set to be measured (set), or the number or ID of the first RS resource set to be measured and the first object, for example, the network side device indicates the association or mapping relationship through a Medium Access Control (MAC) Control Element (CE) or DCI.

Wherein the first objects may respectively include, but are not limited to, one of:

(1) A cell (cell);

(2) Bandwidth Part (BWP);

(3) Sub-band (sub-band);

(4) Frequency band (band);

(5) Transmitting a Reception Point (TRP);

(6) A terminal panel (UE panel);

(7) And (4) carrying waves.

That is, a first object may be a cell, BWP, subband, band, TRP, carrier, or UE panel, or any combination thereof.

S212, the terminal determines first beam information of the first object to be reported according to the measurement result.

The terminal may select, according to the signal quality measured on each first RS resource to be measured, an RS resource with a better signal quality and/or a signal quality corresponding to the RS resource to be measured as the first beam information of the first object. The first beam information may include index information of at least one RS resource to be measured, for example, SSBRI or CRI, and/or quality information of at least one RS resource to be measured, for example, L1-RSRP and/or L1-SINR.

S214, the terminal determines second beam information of a second object according to the first beam information.

Wherein the second objects may include, but are not limited to, one of the following:

(1) A cell (cell);

(2) Bandwidth Part (BWP);

(3) Sub-band (sub-band);

(4) Frequency band (band);

(5) Transmitting a Reception Point (TRP);

(6) A terminal panel (UE panel);

(7) And (4) carrying waves.

That is, a second object may be a cell, BWP, subband, band, TRP, carrier, or UE panel, or any combination thereof.

For example, the first object may be a first cell and the second object may be a second cell, or the first object may be a first carrier, the second object may be a second carrier, and so on.

In the embodiment of the present application, the first beam information of the first object and the second beam information of the second object may be the same or different. If the first beam information and the second beam information are the same RS resource index information, such as the same SSRBI or CRI, in this case, the UE sides Rxbeam corresponding to the RS resource index information may be the same or different on different objects. For example, in a single RF chain (single RF chain) UE, since only one Rxbeam can be formed, the rxbeams are the same, and in a multiple RF chain (multiple RF chain) UE, since an independent Rxbeam can be formed on each RF chain, the rxbeams formed by the UE for different objects can be made different by various beam adjustment methods. If the first beam information and the second beam information are different RS resource index information, such as different SSBRIs or CRIs, in this case, the UE sides Rxbeam corresponding to these different RS resource index information are usually different, for example, in a multiplex RFchain UE, an independent Rxbeam can be formed on each RFchain.

According to the technical scheme provided by the embodiment of the application, the terminal measures the signal quality of at least one first to-be-measured RS resource corresponding to the first object according to the received configuration information, determines the first beam information of the first object to be reported according to the measurement result, and determines the second beam information of the second object according to the first beam information of the first object, so that the beam information of another object can be determined when only one object is subjected to beam management, and a beam link between a network and UE on another object can be aligned.

In a possible implementation manner, in S214, the terminal may obtain difference information between the beam of the first object and the beam of the second object according to pre-calibration information, and then adjust the first beam information according to the difference information to obtain the second beam information. For example, the terminal tests the actual deviation (angle, width, etc.) of the same beam on different objects (e.g., different bands, different panels) by calibrating the device before use, and further knows how much beam deviation needs to be adjusted to obtain the optimal beam on the second object when the optimal beam on the first object is applied to the second object. Then, according to the calibration information obtained in advance, after the beam measurement is performed on the first object, the beam information of the first object is adjusted, and then the beam information corresponding to the second object is obtained, so that the problem of performance reduction caused by that the beam direction of the second object is deviated to a certain degree relative to the first object to generate the so-called 'beam squint' can be avoided. For example, if a terminal uses a Common Beam Management (CBM) mode, since FR2 uses hybrid Beam forming, if beams of a PCC and an SCC use the same phase shifter configuration, a Beam direction of the SCC may be deviated from that of the PCC to generate a so-called "Beam squint," but in this embodiment of the present application, based on difference information between the Beam of the SCC and the Beam of the PCC, beam information reported on one carrier (e.g., the PCC) is adjusted to obtain Beam information corresponding to the other carrier, so that accurate Beam information corresponding to different objects may be obtained, performance of each Beam link is optimized, and throughput is improved.

In another possible implementation manner, in S214, the second beam information is selected according to the first beam information, where the beam corresponding to the second beam information is wider than the beam corresponding to the first beam information. That is, the terminal selects a wide beam wider than the beam of the first object as the beam corresponding to the second object. Thus, even if a wider beam is used at the second object because of the deviation of the beams of the first object and the second object, the beam width of the first object can be covered, and the second beam information of the second object is ensured to be better.

In the above possible implementation, optionally, the first beam information of the first object and the second beam information of the second object are quasi co-located (QCL).

In another possible implementation manner, in S214, the terminal may determine the offset information of the second object according to a protocol convention or a configuration of a network side device, and then determine the second beam information according to the first beam information and the offset information. For example, the terminal may determine index information of at least one second RS resource corresponding to the second object and/or determine an L1-RSRP value and/or an L1-SINR value of the at least one second RS resource corresponding to the second object, using the first beam information and the offset information. By the implementation mode, the deviation of the beam direction between different objects can be made up through the offset information, so that the beam link alignment between the network and the UE on another object can be ensured under the condition of only carrying out beam management on one object, and the method is particularly suitable for terminals in a CBM mode.

In yet another possible implementation manner, in S214, the terminal may obtain a second RS resource associated with the first RS resource according to an association relationship (or may also be referred to as a corresponding relationship or a mapping relationship) between a first RS resource to be measured of the first object and a second RS resource to be measured of the second object, where the first RS resource is an RS resource corresponding to the first beam information in at least one first RS resource to be measured; and determining the second beam information according to the second RS resource. For example, before the terminal is used, the terminal may test the signal quality on the RS resources to be measured corresponding to different objects (e.g., different bands and different panels), and for one RS resource in the first RS resource to be measured, may obtain the second RS resource to be measured and the RS resource whose signal quality is similar to that of the second RS resource to be measured, and further establish the association relationship between the first RS resource to be measured of the first object and the second RS resource to be measured of the second object. Of course, the association relationship may be notified to the terminal by the network side device based on the terminal report. Therefore, when performing beam management, the second RS resource corresponding to the second object may be acquired according to the first RS resource in the beam report corresponding to the first object, and the second beam information of the second object may be determined, so that even when only one object is subjected to beam management, beam link alignment between the network and the UE on another object may be ensured.

In the foregoing possible implementation manner, the association relationship between the first RS resource to be measured and the second RS resource to be measured may be determined according to a preset position or a preset sequence of each first RS resource to be measured of the first object and each second RS resource to be measured of the second object. For example, in the first RS resource setting/set to be measured and the second RS resource setting/set to be measured of the second object, each first RS resource to be measured corresponds to one second RS resource to be measured according to a preset position or order. For example, the at least one first RS resource to be measured is a first RS resource set to be measured, which includes three CSI-RS resources: { CSI-RS resource1, CSI-RS resource2, CSI-RS resource3}, where at least one second RS resource to be measured corresponding to the second object is a second RS resource to be measured set, and includes three CSI-RS resources: { CSI-RS resource4, CSI-RS resource5, CSI-RS resource6}, then the CSI-RS resource1 arranged at the first position of the first RS resource set to be measured and the second RS resource set to be measured respectively corresponds to the CSI-RS resource4, the CSI-RS resource2 arranged at the second position of the first RS resource set to be measured and the second RS resource set to be measured respectively corresponds to the CSI-RS resource5, and the CSI-RS resource3 arranged at the third position of the first RS resource set to be measured and the second RS resource set to be measured respectively corresponds to the CSI-RS resource 6.

Or, the association relationship between the first RS resource to be measured and the second RS resource to be measured may also be determined according to a preset relationship between the index of each first RS resource to be measured of the first object and the index of each second RS resource to be measured of the second object. For example, assume that the index of each RS resource in at least one first RS resource to be measured is: 1. 2 and 3, the index of each RS resource in at least one second RS resource to be measured of the second object is: 5. 6, and 7, the preset relationship may be as shown in table 1.

Table 1.

Index of first to-be-measured RS resource	Index of second RS resource to be measured
		1	4
2	5
		3	6

For example, the UE measures the CSI-RS resource in one CSI-RS resource set on the band1, selects 2 CSI-RS resources with better quality according to the measurement result, and reports CRI1 and CRI2 (CSI-RS resource indicator) and the respective L1-RSRP of the two CRIs in the beam report. Wherein, the beams corresponding to CRI1 and CRI2 are UE Rx beam1 and Rx beam2.

In one possible implementation, the UE may adjust the beam information on band2 according to the calibration, such as determining Rx beams 3 and 4 corresponding to Rx beams 1 and2.

Or, the indexes of the CSI-RS resources indicated by CRI1 and CRI2 are increased by a preset offset (offset), for example, the indexes of the CSI-RS resources 1 and CSI-RS resources 2 are respectively increased by 2, so as to obtain CSI-RS resources 3 and 4 corresponding to band2.

Further, the UE may also determine the beam information of CSI-RS resources 3 and 4 according to the beam information of CSI-RS resource1 and CSI-RS resource 2. Alternatively, the UE may also supplement the L1-RSRP of the two beam information with an additional (additional) L1-RSRP on band2 according to the L1-RSRP of the CSI-RS resource1 and the CSI-RS resource 2.

Alternatively, the UE determines beam information on band2 from CRI1 and CRI 2. If another CSI-RS resource set is configured on band2, and CSI-RS resources in the two CSI-RS resource sets are in one-to-one association, namely CSI-RS resources 1 and CSI-RS resources 2 indicated by CRI1 and CRI2 correspond to CSI-RS resources 3 and 4 of band2.

Further, the UE may also determine the beam information of the CSI-RS resources 3 and 4 according to the beam information of the CSI-RS resource1 and the CSI-RS resource 2.

Further, the UE can supplement the L1-RSRP of the two beam information of the CSI-RS resources 3 and 4 on the band2 with additional L1-RSRP according to the L1-RSRP of the CSI-RS resources 1 and2.

In one possible implementation manner, after the terminal determines second beam information of a second object according to the first beam information, the method further includes: the terminal reports a target beam report, wherein the target beam report includes the first beam information, or the target beam report includes the first beam information and the second beam information, and the target beam report indicates that the first beam information corresponds to the first object and the second beam information corresponds to the second object.

Optionally, the target beam report indicates that the first beam information corresponds to the first object and the second beam information corresponds to the second object, including one of:

(1) The target beam report includes a first beam report, where the first beam report carries the first beam information and the second beam information, and identification information of the first object corresponding to the first beam information, and identification information of the second object corresponding to the second beam information.

For example, the numbers or identities of the first object and the second object are carried in the first beam report.

In this possible implementation, each beam information (e.g., SSBRI or CRI) in the first beam report may correspond to the same or different RS resource identifiers. For example, the following information may be carried in the first beam report: { CRI1, CRI2, CRI3, CRI4}, { L1-RSRP1, L1-RSRP2, L1-RSRP3, L1-RSRP4}, { band1, band1, band1, band2}, indicating that the reported L1-RSRPs of CRI1, CRI2 and CRI3 on band1 are L1-RSRP1, L1-RSRP2 and L1-RSRP3 respectively, and the L1-RSRP of CRI4 on band2 is L1-RSRP4.

(2) And the first beam information and the second beam information are carried in the first beam report according to a preset arrangement order or position of the first object and the second object.

In this possible implementation manner, the first beam report does not include the identifiers of the first object and the second object, and the objects corresponding to the respective beam information are determined according to the arrangement order or the positions of the first beam information and the second beam information in the first beam report.

For example, the following information may be included in the first beam report: { CRI1, CRI2} { CRI3, CRI4} { L1-RSRP1, L1-RSRP2} { L1-RSRP3, L1-RSRP4}, wherein CRI1, CRI2 and L1-RSRP1, L1-RSRP2 correspond to band1, CRI3, CRI4 and L1-RSRP3, and L1-RSRP4 corresponds to band2.

(3) The target beam report includes a second beam report and a third beam report, wherein the second beam report carries the first beam information and the third beam report carries the second beam information. I.e. the first beam information and the second beam information are reported separately by different beam reports.

In the above possible implementation manner, the terminal may use a Common Beam Management (CBM) mode, and the terminal may use the first Beam and the second Beam simultaneously. In one possible implementation manner, the first beam is a beam corresponding to any one of the first beam information, and the second beam is a beam corresponding to any one of the second beam information. I.e., any one of the first beam information may be associated with any one of the second beam information.

Wherein, for the first beam and the second beam which can be used by the terminal simultaneously, the terminal can receive information by using the first beam and the second beam simultaneously in downlink, and the network side device can transmit information by using the first beam and the second beam simultaneously.

Or, in another possible implementation manner, the associated first beam information and second beam information may be carried in the first beam report according to a first preset rule, or may be carried in the second beam report and the third beam report respectively according to a second preset rule. Thus, optionally, the first beam report carries the first beam information and the second beam information, including: carrying beam information of a first beam and beam information of a second beam in the first beam report according to a first preset rule; or, the second beam report carries the first beam information, and the third beam report carries the second beam information, including: according to a second preset rule, carrying the beam information of the first beam in the second beam report, and carrying the beam information of the second beam in the third beam report. Wherein the first beam and the second beam are two beams that can be used by the terminal at the same time, the beam information of the first beam is one of one or more pieces of the first beam information, and the beam information of the second beam is one of one or more pieces of the second beam information.

Optionally, the first preset rule may include one of: a preset sequence corresponding relation and a preset position corresponding relation; for example, the first bit of beam information ranked in the first beam information is associated with the first bit of beam information ranked in the second beam information, or the first bit of beam information ranked in the first beam information may be associated with the first and second bit of beam information ranked in the second beam information, respectively.

For example, the first target beam indication signaling may carry an identifier of a first object and the first target beam information, and an identifier of a second object and the second target beam information.

In the foregoing possible implementation manner, the first target beam information is one of a first beam pool configured for the first object by the network side device; the second target beam information on the second object is one of the first beam pools, or the second target beam information on the second object is one of second beam pools configured by the network side device for the second object.

And the second object may use a pool configured on the first object; or the second target beam information of the second object is from a pool configured by the network side device corresponding to the second object.

In the above possible implementation manner, the first target beam information may include identification information of the first target beam, for example, an ID or a number, such as a TCI state ID. The second target beam information may include identification information of the second target beam, for example, an ID or a number, etc. E.g., a TCI state ID.

That is, in the above possible implementation manners, the network side device may instruct to update the beam information of the first object and/or the second object, or update the RS resources to be measured of the first object and/or the second object. For example, the configuring, by the network side device, the first RS resource to be measured corresponding to the first object includes: the terminal measures a first RS resource to be measured, selects 2 CSI-RS resources with better quality according to measurement results, reports CRI1 and CRI2 in a beam report, and corresponds to CRI1 and CRI2 UE Rx beam1 and Rx beam2, the network side equipment sends a second target beam indication signaling according to the beam report, the second target beam indication signaling carries first target beam information of a first object, for example, the first target beam information is TCI state1, the source RS of TCI state1 is CSI-RS resource1, namely the terminal updates the first target beam information of the first object to TCI state1, the terminal uses the source (Rx beam 1) of the source RS (CSI-RS 1) to transmit a channel with the network, and only needs to perform measurement on the first target beam information, namely, the terminal can save the measurement channel, and the measurement can only need to perform measurement on the first target RS resource according to the measurement result, and the measurement result is that the next measurement is the next measurement on the first target RS resource, namely, the terminal can save the measurement on the TCI-RS resource, and the measurement result is that the measurement on the next measurement on the CSI-RS resource.

In practical application, the second target beam indication signaling and the first target beam indication signaling may be the same signaling, that is, the beam indication signaling is used for indicating, activating and updating beam information; alternatively, the second target beam indication signaling and the first target beam indication signaling may not be the same signaling, and the embodiment of the present application is not limited in this embodiment.

In a possible implementation manner, the second target beam indication signaling may carry first target beam information of the first object but not carry second target beam information of a second object, and in this case, the terminal may update the beam information of the first object to the first target beam information or update the first to-be-measured RS resource of the first object to an RS resource corresponding to the first target beam information. Or, the terminal may update the beam information of the first object to the first target beam information or update the first RS resource to be measured of the first object to an RS resource corresponding to the first target beam information, determine second target beam information of the second object according to the first target beam information, update the beam information of the second object to the second target beam information or update the second RS resource to be measured of the second object to an RS resource corresponding to the second target beam information. For example, the terminal determines the beam information of the second object corresponding to the beam information of the first object according to the measurement result of the first object in combination with calibration, offset, RS resource association, and the like, so that the terminal can determine the second target beam information corresponding to the first target beam information according to the first target beam information. For example, the terminal may determine, according to the beam information of the first object and the beam information of the second object that can be used simultaneously and reported in the target beam report according to the preset rule, the second target beam information that can be used simultaneously with the first target beam information according to the first target beam information. For another example, the terminal may calibrate the first target beam information to obtain the second target beam information according to the first target beam information and preset calibration information or offset information, or add offset information to the first target beam information to obtain the second target beam information. Or, a preset corresponding relationship exists between the first target beam information and the second target beam information, where the corresponding relationship may be indicated by the network side device, or may also be agreed by a protocol, for example, the agreement is agreed by the protocol or the network side device configures offset information between the first target beam information and the second target beam information, and the terminal may determine the corresponding second target beam information according to the first target beam information.

In another possible implementation manner, the second target beam indication signaling may also carry second target beam information of the second object but not carry first target beam information of the first object, and in this case, the terminal may update the beam information of the second object to the second target beam information or update the second RS resource to be measured of the second object to an RS resource corresponding to the second target beam information. Or, the terminal may update the beam information of the second object to the second target beam information or update the second RS resource to be measured of the second object to an RS resource corresponding to the second target beam information, determine the first target beam information of the first object according to the second target beam information, update the beam information of the first object to the first target beam information, or update the first RS resource to be measured of the first object to an RS resource corresponding to the first target beam information. For example, the terminal determines the beam information of the second object corresponding to the beam information of the first object according to the measurement result of the first object in combination with calibration, offset, RS resource association, and the like, so that the terminal may determine the first target beam information corresponding to the second object according to the second target beam information in a corresponding manner. For another example, a preset correspondence exists between the first target beam information and the second target beam information, where the correspondence may be indicated by the network side device, or may also be agreed by a protocol, or a pair of beam information that can be used simultaneously and is reported by the target beam report according to a preset rule, for example, the agreement is agreed by the protocol or the network side device configures offset information between the first target beam information and the second target beam information, and the terminal may determine the corresponding first target beam information according to the second target beam information.

In yet another possible implementation manner, the second target beam indication signaling may carry first target beam information of the first object and second target beam information of the second object, and in this case, the terminal may update the beam information of the first object to the first target beam information or update the first to-be-measured RS resource of the first object to an RS resource corresponding to the first target beam information according to an indication of the second target beam indication signaling; and updating the beam information of the second object to the second target beam information or updating the second RS resource to be measured of the second object to the RS resource corresponding to the second target beam information. For example, the second target beam indication signaling may carry a corresponding relationship between the identification information of the first target beam and the identification information of the first object, and a corresponding relationship between the identification information of the second target beam and the identification information of the second object. Or, the second target beam indication signaling may also not carry the identification information of the first object and the identification information of the second object, but carry the first target beam information and the second target beam information according to a preset sequence or a preset position according to a protocol convention or a configuration of a network side device, indicating that the first target beam information corresponds to the first object and the second target beam information corresponds to the second object.

In this possible implementation manner, the network side device may update, through the second target beam indication signaling, the RS resource of QCL type D (QCL-type) in the first TCI state to be the first target RS resource. For example, the network side device updates the QCL-TypeD source RS resource in the first TCI state through a MAC CE command. The first TCI state may be a TCI state indicated by the network side device in the beam indication signaling last time, or a TCI state activated by the network side device last time, or a TCI state updated after the network side device indicates the UE using the beam indication signaling or the activation command.

For example, if the second target beam indication signaling carries the first target beam information of the first object, the RS resource of QCL-type indicating the first TCI state of the first object is updated to the RS resource corresponding to the first target beam information. And if the second target beam indication signaling carries second target beam information of the second object, updating the RS resource of QCL-TypeD indicating the first TCI state of the second object to the RS resource corresponding to the second target beam information.

The target beam information (the first target beam information or the second target beam information) indicated by the second target beam indication signaling is used to simultaneously update the beam information of all CCs and all BWPs in a set of CCs. Alternatively, multiple sets of CCs may be associated, for example, if one object includes multiple sets of CCs, the target beam information (the first target beam information or the second target beam information) indicated by the second target beam indication signaling is used to determine beam information or RS resources of each set of CCs in the object, for example, source (source) RS resources of QCL-type RS resources, that is, QCL-type RS resources between sets are different, and the QCL-type RS resources of CCs in the sets may be the same RS resource or different RS resources.

In case that the number of Downlink (DL) TCI states M >1 and/or the number of Uplink (UL) TCI states N >1 configured by the network side device, the second target beam indication signaling may indicate TCI states of different objects, where each TCI state is used to determine beam information of multiple channels or RSs on at least one CC on each object.
