In addition, in order to better illustrate the present disclosure, numerous specific details are given in the following specific embodiments. Those skilled in the art should understand that the present disclosure can also be implemented without certain specific details. In some instances, the methods, means, elements, and circuits well known to those skilled in the art have not been described in detail, so as to highlight the gist of the present disclosure.

In the communications field, determining the spatial information (spatial information or spatial relation) of the data channel is of great significance. For a terminal device in an idle state or a connected state, such as a UE, the physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH, Physical Uplink Shared Channel) related to the terminal device can be scheduled through downlink control information (DCI, Downlink Control Information), According to the DCI, it is determined that the spatial information of the PUSCH will also change flexibly.

In the field of communications, spatial information (spatial information or spatial relation) is defined by QCL-TypeD (Quasico-location TypeD, QCL- for short) in the state of reference signals or TCI (Transmission Configuration Indicator). TypeD) corresponding to the reference signal for characterization. In other words, by referring to the reference signal representing the spatial information or the reference signal corresponding to the QCL-TypeD in the TCI state, specific spatial information can be obtained. Exemplarily, if a certain reference signal is the spatial information of the data channel, it refers to the spatial information of the data channel, which can be obtained by referring to a certain reference signal. Or, exemplarily, if a certain reference signal is the spatial information of a data channel, it means that the spatial information represented by a certain reference signal is the spatial information of the data channel.

In related technologies, when the format of DCI is DCI 0_0, the spatial information of PUSCH can be flexible according to the QCL-TypeD reference signal or spatial information included in the transmission configuration indicator (TCI, Transmission Configuration Indicator) state related to PUSCH Determined; in the case that the format of the DCI is DCI 0_1, the spatial information of the PUSCH can be flexibly determined according to the value of the channel sounding reference signal resource indicator (SRI, SRS Resource Indicator) field or the TCI field included in the DCI.

In related technologies, the QCL-TypeD reference signal included in the TCI state related to PUSCH is currently a downlink reference signal. However, with the development of communication technology, the QCL-TypeD reference signal included in the TCI state may be a downlink reference signal. , It can also be an uplink reference signal or channel. When this QCL-TypeD reference signal is an uplink reference signal or channel, it cannot be used as the path loss reference signal of the PUSCH. If it is still used as spatial information, it will cause The path loss reference signal is inconsistent with the reference signal representing the spatial information, which affects the system performance. Therefore, it cannot be used as the spatial information of the PUSCH, that is, the spatial information of the PUSCH cannot be determined by the current method.

In order to solve the above problem, this embodiment discloses an application example of a method for determining spatial information.

Fig. 1 shows a flowchart of a method for determining spatial information according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. The method can be applied to user equipment (UE, User Equipment), where the UE can be a mobile phone, a tablet computer, a notebook computer, a handheld computer, Mobile Internet devices (MID, mobile Internet devices), wearable devices, virtual reality (VR, virtual reality) devices, augmented reality (AR, augmented reality) devices, wireless terminals in industrial control, wireless terminals in unmanned driving, remote surgery The wireless terminal in the smart grid, the wireless terminal in the smart grid, the transportation safety (the wireless terminal in the smart city, the wireless terminal in the smart city, the wireless terminal in the smart home, the wireless terminal in the Internet of Vehicles, etc., are not done in this embodiment Specific limitations. As shown in the figure, in a possible implementation manner, the method may include:

Step S11: Obtain downlink control information DCI for scheduling the data channel.

Step S12: According to the DCI, the spatial information of the data channel is determined according to the reference signal type related to the data channel or the TCI state parameter of the data channel.

It can be understood that, in specific implementation, the method can be implemented in the form of a software program that runs on a processor integrated inside a chip or a chip module.

In a possible implementation, the DCI format may be DCI 0_0, and the data channel scheduled by DCI may be PUSCH. By obtaining the DCI used to schedule the data channel, and according to the format of the DCI, the spatial information of the data channel is determined according to the reference signal type related to the data channel or the TCI state parameter of the data channel, according to various aspects of the embodiments of the present disclosure. The method and device for determining spatial information can still ensure that the spatial information can be determined normally when the current spatial information determination method cannot be applied due to the change of the reference signal type related to the data channel.

It can be seen from the above disclosed embodiments that in the current method for determining spatial information, when the DCI format is DCI 0_0, and the reference signal type related to the data channel is a non-downlink reference signal, it is difficult to directly use the reference signal as Spatial information of the data channel. Therefore, the method proposed in the embodiments of the present disclosure can flexibly change the determination method of spatial information according to the change of the reference signal type related to the data channel when the DCI format is DCI 0_0, so as to ensure the process of determining the spatial information as much as possible. Normally achieved.

It should be noted that the DCI 0_0 described in this article is a corresponding parameter used to schedule PUSCH in a possible implementation. When the name of the parameter for scheduling PUSCH changes, it can also be flexibly selected according to the actual situation, and the above disclosure can be modified accordingly. The judgment conditions for determining the spatial information of the data channel in the embodiments are not limited to the following disclosed embodiments.

Specifically, when the DCI format is DCI 0_0, how to determine the spatial information according to the reference signal type related to the data channel can be flexibly determined according to the actual situation. In a possible implementation manner, step S12 Can include:

Step S121: Determine the PUCCH resource configuration status of the relevant BWP of the data channel, where the relevant BWP includes the active BWP of the cell to which the data channel belongs, the carrier to which it belongs, or the carrier group to which it belongs.

Step S122: When the relevant BWP is not configured with PUCCH resources, determine the spatial information of the data channel according to the type of the first reference signal related to the data channel, where the first reference signal includes the TCI state corresponding to the first CORESET. For the QCL-TypeD reference signal, the first CORESET includes, when the relevant BWP is not configured with PUCCH resources, the CORESET with the smallest ID or the smallest ID configured on the carrier or carrier group where the data channel is located or the relevant BWP is configured in the relevant BWP. The CORESET of the smallest ID on the carrier or carrier group where the data channel is located or the relevant BWP and associated with the search space monitored by the latest time slot. or,

Step S123: When the PUCCH resource is configured in the relevant BWP, and the PUCCH resource is not configured with spatial information or QCL-TypeD reference signal, the spatial information of the data channel is determined according to the PUCCH resource. or,

Step S124, in the case where the relevant BWP is configured with PUCCH resources and at least one PUCCH resource is configured with spatial information or QCL-TypeD reference signal, determine the data according to the type of the reference signal corresponding to the spatial information included in the PUCCH resource or the QCL-TypeD reference signal Spatial information of the channel.

Among them, the relevant part of the working bandwidth (BWP, Bandwidth part) of the data channel can be the active BWP of the cell where the data channel is located, or the active BWP of the carrier where the data channel is located, or the active BWP of the carrier group where the data channel is located. The BWP may be configured with physical uplink control channel (PUCCH, Physical Uplink Control Channel) resources, or may not be configured with PUCCH resources. Therefore, as the PUCCH resource configuration on the relevant BWP is different, it can be configured according to steps S122 and S122, respectively. S123 and S124 are used to flexibly determine the spatial information, so that no matter how the resources on the relevant BWP are configured, the normal realization of the spatial information determination process is ensured as much as possible.

Specifically, it can be seen from step S122 that when the relevant BWP is not configured with PUCCH resources, the spatial information can be flexibly determined according to the type of the first reference signal. Among them, because the PUCCH resource is not configured on the relevant BWP, the first reference signal cannot be obtained from the PUCCH resource. Therefore, in a possible implementation manner, when the relevant BWP is not configured with the PUCCH resource, the relevant carrier or In the resource control set (CORESET, Control resource set) configured on the BWP, the CORESET with the smallest ID is selected as the first CORESET, and the QCL-TypeD reference signal included in the TCI state corresponding to this first CORESET is used as the first CORESET. A reference signal.

In a possible implementation, when the relevant BWP is not configured with PUCCH resources, from the CORESET configured on the relevant BWP or carrier, select the search space associated with the latest slot monitoring CORESET (the CORESET associated with a monitored search space with the lowest CORESET-ID in the latest slot in which one or more CORESETs within the active BWP of the serving cell(s) or the serving cell) are monitored by the UE) as the first CORESET, and the QCL-TypeD reference signal included in the TCI state corresponding to this first CORESET is used as the first reference signal.

Among them, in a possible implementation, the nearest time slot may be the time slot closest to the receiving time slot of the current data channel and the monitored search space is associated with CORESET. For example, the time slot receiving the current data channel PUSCH may be Denoted as N, before time slot N and time slot N, if the search space monitored by time slot N-1 is associated with CORESET, time slot N-1 can be regarded as the nearest time slot, if time slot N-1 does not need to be monitored If the PDCCH is selected, it is judged whether the search space monitored by the N-2 time slot is associated with CORESET, and so on, so that the nearest time slot can be determined.

For example, in an example, three CORESETs can be configured on the relevant BWP, and the IDs of the three CORESETs are 3, 4, and 5 respectively. The CORESET with ID 4 is associated with the search space monitored by the most recent time slot, then According to the above disclosed embodiments, the CORESET with the smallest ID, that is, the CORESET with ID 3 can be used as the first CORESET, or the CORESET with ID 4 can be used as the first CORESET, and when the CORESET with ID 3 is used as the first CORESET , The first reference signal is the QCL-TypeD reference signal included in the TCI state corresponding to CORESET with ID 3, and when CORESET with ID 4 is used as the first CORESET, the first reference signal is the one corresponding to CORESET with ID 4 QCL-TypeD reference signal included in the TCI state.

As the type of the first reference signal is different, the way of determining the spatial information will also change. In a possible implementation manner, step S122 may include:

Step S1221: In the case where the PUCCH resource is not configured in the relevant BWP, determine whether the type of the first reference signal is a downlink reference signal or a channel, and obtain a first determination result.

Step S1222, in a case where the first judgment result is yes, use the first reference signal as the spatial information of the data channel.

Step S1223: In a case where the first judgment result is no, use the second reference signal as the spatial information of the data channel.

It can be seen from the above disclosed embodiments that in a possible implementation manner, when the first reference signal is a downlink reference signal or a channel, the first reference signal can be directly used as the spatial information of the data channel. In the example, the spatial information at this time may be a periodic reference signal.

In the case where the first reference signal is not a downlink reference signal or channel, for example, when the first reference signal is an uplink reference signal, if the spatial information is determined as the first reference signal, the system performance will be affected.

In a possible implementation manner, in a case where the first judgment result is no, that is, in a case where the first reference signal is not a downlink reference signal or a channel, the second reference signal may be further used as the spatial information of the data channel. Among them, the second reference signal is a reference signal related to the data channel, and its specific implementation can be referred to the subsequent disclosed embodiments, which will not be expanded here.

Through the above process, in the case that the first reference signal cannot be directly used as the spatial information, the spatial information can be flexibly obtained from the reference signal related to the data channel, and the normal realization of the spatial information determination process can be ensured.

Similarly, it can be seen from step S123 that when the relevant BWP is configured with PUCCH resources, but there is no PUCCH resource configuration space information or QCL-TypeD reference signal, because the PUCCH resources are not configured with space information or The QCL-TypeD reference signal, therefore, the reference signal corresponding to the spatial information or the QCL-TypeD reference signal cannot be directly obtained from the PUCCH resource as the spatial information. Therefore, the spatial information of the data channel can be flexibly determined according to the PUCCH resource at this time.

Specifically, how to determine the spatial information of the data channel according to the PUCCH resource can also be flexibly determined according to the type of the related spatial information in the PUCCH resource. In a possible implementation manner, step S123 may include:

Step S1231: When the relevant BWP is configured with PUCCH resources, and the PUCCH resources are not configured with spatial information or QCL-TypeD reference signals, it is judged whether the carrier or carrier group where the data channel is located or the relevant BWP is configured with CORESET, and the second judgment result is obtained.

Step S1232, in the case that the second judgment result is yes, determine the spatial information of the data channel according to the type of the third reference signal or the second reference signal related to the data channel, where the third reference signal includes the second CORESET The corresponding TCI state includes the QCL-TypeD reference signal. The second CORESET includes the CORESET with the smallest ID configured on the carrier or carrier group where the data channel is located, or on the data channel when the relevant BWP is configured with PUCCH resources. The CORESET with the smallest ID on the carrier or carrier group or related BWP that is associated with the search space monitored by the latest time slot. The second reference signal includes the QCL-TypeD reference signal included in the active TCI state with the smallest ID related to the data channel.

Step S1233: In a case where the second judgment result is no, determine the spatial information of the data channel according to the type of the second reference signal related to the data channel.

It can be seen from the above disclosed embodiments that when the relevant BWP is configured with PUCCH resources and each PUCCH resource is not configured with spatial information or QCL-TypeD reference signals, it can be first determined whether the data channel is located on the carrier or carrier group or on the relevant BWP. CORESET is configured, and then according to the different configuration of CORESET on the carrier or carrier group or related BWP where the data channel is located, the corresponding method can be flexibly selected to determine the spatial information of the data channel.

Among them, the "second" and "first" in the second CORESET and the first CORESET are only used to distinguish the CORESET with the smallest ID of the carrier or carrier group where the data channel is located under different PUCCH resource configurations. Or the CORESET with the smallest ID associated with the search space monitored by the latest time slot, instead of limiting the implementation of the two CORESETs, that is, the specific configuration of the first CORESET and the second CORESET can be the same or different. There is no limitation in the disclosed embodiments.

In the case where CORESET is configured on the carrier or carrier group or related BWP where the data channel is located, the spatial information of the data channel can be determined according to the third reference signal or the second reference signal, where the determination process of the third reference signal can be : From the CORESET configured on the carrier or carrier group or related BWP where the data channel is located, the selected CORESET with the smallest ID or the CORESET with the smallest ID associated with the search space of the latest time slot monitoring will correspond to this second CORESET The QCL-TypeD reference signal included in the TCI state is used as the third reference signal. The determination process of the second reference signal can be: from the active TCI states related to the data channel, select the active TCI state with the smallest ID, and then use the QCL-TypeD reference signal included in the selected active TCI state, Come as the second reference signal.

Specifically, how to determine the spatial information of the data channel when CORESET is configured on the carrier or carrier group where the data channel is located or the relevant BWP according to the state of the third reference signal or the second reference signal, the process can be based on the actual situation Flexible determination. In a possible implementation manner, step S1232 may include:

Step S12321: In a case where the second judgment result is yes, judge whether the type of the third reference signal is a downlink reference signal or a channel, and obtain a third judgment result.

Step S12322, in a case where the third judgment result is yes, use the third reference signal as the spatial information of the data channel.

Step S12323, in a case where the third judgment result is no, use the second reference signal as the spatial information of the data channel.

It can be seen from the above disclosed embodiments that if the second judgment result is yes, the spatial information of the data channel can be determined first according to the type of the third reference signal, that is, if the third reference signal is a downlink reference signal or channel, The third reference signal can be directly used as the spatial information of the data channel, and if the third reference signal is a non-downlink reference signal or a channel, such as an uplink reference signal, in a possible implementation manner, the first The second reference signal is used as the spatial information of the data channel.

It can be seen from the above disclosed embodiments that the relevant BWP is configured with PUCCH resources, and each PUCCH resource is not configured with spatial information or QCL-TypeD reference signal, but the carrier or carrier group where the data channel is located or the relevant BWP is configured with CORESET Below, the process of determining the spatial information of the data channel according to the third reference signal type or the second reference signal may be:

When the third reference signal is a downlink reference signal or channel, the third reference signal is used as the spatial information of the data channel. In an example, the spatial information at this time may be a periodic reference signal; or,

When the third reference signal is a non-downlink reference signal or channel, the second reference signal is used as the spatial information of the data channel. In an example, the spatial information at this time may be a periodic reference signal.

When the relevant BWP or carrier is configured with PUCCH resources, and each PUCCH resource is not configured with spatial information or QCL-TypeD reference signal, but the carrier or carrier group where the data channel is located or the relevant BWP is configured with CORESET, according to the third reference signal Or the second reference signal is used to flexibly determine the spatial information of the data channel, which can improve the flexibility of the spatial information determination process, and can further ensure the complete realization of the spatial information determination process.

In an example, the spatial information at this time may be a periodic reference signal.

Similarly, it can be seen from step S124 that when the relevant BWP is configured with PUCCH resources, and there is at least one PUCCH resource configured with spatial information or QCL-TypeD reference signals, it can be directly based on the spatial information included in the PUCCH resource The type of the corresponding reference signal or QCL-TypeD reference signal is used to determine the spatial information of the data channel. In a possible implementation manner, step S124 may include:

Step S1241, in the case where the relevant BWP is configured with PUCCH resources, and at least one PUCCH resource is configured with space information or QCL-TypeD reference signal, select the PUCCH resource with the smallest ID from the PUCCH resources of the configuration space information or QCL-TypeD reference signal , As the PUCCH resource to be judged.

Step S1242: It is judged whether the type of the reference signal or the QCL-TypeD reference signal corresponding to the spatial information included in the PUCCH resource to be judged is a downlink reference signal or a channel, and a fourth judgment result is obtained.

Step S1243, in a case where the fourth judgment result is yes, use the reference signal or QCL-TypeD reference signal corresponding to the spatial information included in the PUCCH resource to be judged as the spatial information of the data channel;

Step S1244, in a case where the fourth judgment result is no, use the third reference signal or the second reference signal as the spatial information of the data channel.

Specifically, in a possible implementation manner, step S1244 may include:

Step S1441: When the relevant BWP is configured with PUCCH resources and at least one PUCCH resource is configured with space information or QCL-TypeD reference signal, it is judged whether CORESET is configured on the carrier or carrier group where the data channel is located or the relevant BWP, and a fifth judgment result is obtained.

Step S12442, in a case where the fifth judgment result is yes, judge whether the type of the third reference signal is a downlink reference signal or a channel, and obtain a sixth judgment result.

Step S124421, in a case where the sixth judgment result is yes, use the third reference signal as the spatial information of the data channel.

Step S124422: In a case where the sixth judgment result is no, use the second reference signal as the spatial information of the data channel.

Step S1243, in a case where the fifth judgment result is no, use the second reference signal as the spatial information of the data channel.

Among them, because at least one PUCCH resource is configured with spatial information or QCL-TypeD reference signal in the PUCCH resources configured by the relevant BWP, there may be multiple PUCCH resources configured with spatial information or QCL-TypeD reference signal. In this case, you can use these Among the multiple PUCCH resources configured with spatial information or QCL-TypeD reference signals, the PUCCH resource with the smallest ID is selected as the PUCCH resource to be judged. In this way, the reference signal or reference signal corresponding to the spatial information included in the PUCCH resource to be judged can be directly selected. When the QCL-TypeD reference signal is a downlink reference signal or channel, the reference signal or QCL-TypeD reference signal corresponding to the spatial information is used as the spatial information of the data channel; otherwise, the second reference signal mentioned in the above disclosed embodiment The third reference signal or the second reference signal is used as the spatial information of the data channel and used as the spatial information.
