Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present disclosure, but not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present disclosure, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present disclosure.

FIG. 1 is a schematic flowchart of a configuration information indicating method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. The configuration information indication method shown in this embodiment may be applicable to base stations, and the base stations include but are not limited to base stations in communication systems such as 4G base stations, 5G base stations, and 6G base stations. The base station may communicate with a terminal that is a user equipment, and the terminal includes but is not limited to electronic devices such as mobile phones, tablet computers, wearable devices, sensors, and Internet of Things devices. In one embodiment, the terminal may be a terminal to which the reference signal receiving method described in any subsequent embodiment is applicable.

As shown in FIG. 1, the configuration information indication method may include the following steps:

In step S101, indication information is sent to the terminal, wherein the indication information is used to instruct the terminal to receive a reference signal according to the target configuration information after entering the disconnected state.

In one embodiment, the connected state and the disconnected state may be for an RRC (Radio Resource Control, Radio Resource Control) connection, wherein the disconnected state includes at least one of the following: idle (idle) state, inactive (inactive) )state.

In one embodiment, the target configuration information may be one configuration information, or may be multiple configuration information, which may be specifically selected as required. For example, when the target configuration information is one configuration information, the terminal can receive the reference signal according to the one configuration information after entering the disconnected state. When the target configuration information is multiple configuration information, the base station can also send selection information to the terminal as required , so that the terminal selects one configuration information from multiple configuration information for receiving the reference signal.

In an embodiment, the reference signal includes at least one of the following: Tracking Reference Signal (TRS for short, also referred to as tracking pilot), Channel State Information Reference Signal (Channel State Information Reference Signal, CSI for short) -RS).

In one embodiment, the target configuration information may include an identifier (NZP-CSI-RS-reseource ID) of at least one non-zero power CSI-RS resource set, and the non-zero power CSI-RS resource set includes at least one non-zero power CSI-RS resource set. RS resources, and each non-zero-power CSI-RS resource has a corresponding non-zero-power CSI-RS resource ID, and the terminal can receive a reference signal on the corresponding non-zero-power CSI-RS resource.

It should be noted that the base station sends the indication information to the terminal, which may be to send the indication information to the terminal when the terminal is in a connected state, or to send the indication information to the terminal when the terminal is in a disconnected state.

In one embodiment, when the terminal is in a disconnected state, for example, when the terminal is in an idle state, the base station may send the indication information to the terminal by broadcasting, for example, when the terminal is in an inactive state, the base station may send the indication information first to the core network, and then the core network sends the indication information to the terminal at the non-access layer; when the terminal is in the connected state, the base station can carry the indication information to the terminal through RRC signaling.

Optionally, the target configuration information is first configuration information used by the terminal to receive the reference signal in a connected state.

In one embodiment, when the terminal is in the connected state, the base station may configure the terminal with first configuration information that is used for receiving reference signals in the connected state, and further, through the indication information, may indicate that the target configuration information is that the terminal is in the connected state for receiving reference signals. The first configuration information of the reference signal, that is, instructing the terminal to use the first configuration information for receiving the reference signal in the connected state to receive the reference signal after entering the disconnected state.

Accordingly, after entering the disconnected state, the terminal can continue to use the first configuration information received in the connected state to receive the reference signal, so that the configuration information does not need to be retransmitted for the terminal, which is beneficial to reduce the occupation of communication resources.

FIG. 2 is a schematic flowchart of another configuration information indication method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in Figure 2, the sending of indication information to the terminal includes:

In step S201, the first configuration information is sent to the terminal through first signaling, where the first signaling carries the indication information.

Accordingly, the utilization rate of the first signaling is improved, which is beneficial to reduce the occupation of communication resources.

FIG. 3 is a schematic flowchart of yet another configuration information indication method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in Figure 3, the sending of indication information to the terminal includes:

If the corresponding disconnected state is assumed, the reference signal may not be received according to the target configuration information.

For example, the disconnected state corresponding to the second signaling is the inactive state. After entering the idle state, the terminal may determine that the entered idle state is different from the inactive state corresponding to the second signaling, and then the terminal may not receive the information according to the target configuration information. After entering the inactive state, the terminal can determine that the entered inactive state is different from the inactive state corresponding to the second signaling, and then the reference signal can be received according to the target configuration information. Accordingly, the configuration information can be separately indicated for different disconnected states, so as to flexibly distinguish and indicate the configuration information for different disconnected states.

It should be noted that, in addition to the above manners for respectively indicating configuration information for different disconnected states, other manners may also be used to separately indicate configuration information for different disconnected states.

For example, an identifier can be added to the indication information, and the indication information carrying the identifier instructs the terminal to use the configuration information used for receiving the reference signal in the connected state to receive the reference signal after entering the non-connected state corresponding to the identifier. After entering the disconnected state that does not correspond to the identifier, the configuration information used for receiving the reference signal in the connected state is not used to receive the reference signal.
