为便于理解本申请实施例的技术方案,以下对本申请实施例的相关技术进行说明,以下相关技术作为可选方案与本申请实施例的技术方案可以进行任意结合,其均属于本申请实施例的保护范围。
1、多波束系统。
5G/NR系统的设计目标包括高频段(例如6GHz以上的频段)的大带宽通信。当工作频率变高时,传输过程中的路径损耗会增大,从而影响高频系统的覆盖能力。为了能够有效地保证高频段5G/NR系统的覆盖,一种有效的技术方案便是基于大规模多输入多输出(Massive MIMO)的多波束(Multi-beam)传输技术来提高覆盖能力。
现有的蜂窝网络系统(例如2G/3G/4G网络),一个小区(扇区)使用一个较宽的波束(beam)来覆盖整个小区。因此在每个时刻,小区覆盖范围内终端设备都有机会获得系统分配的传输资源。
5G/NR的Multi-beam通过不同的beam来覆盖整个小区,即每个beam覆盖一个较小的范围,通过时间上的扫描(sweeping)来实现多个beam覆盖整个小区的效果。目前不同的beam通过其承载的不同信号来进行识别。
例如,不同的beam上传输不同的同步信号块(Synchronization Signal/PBCH Block,SSB),终端设备可以通过不同的SSB来分辨出不同的beam。或者,不同的beam上传输不同的信道状态信息参考信号(Channel State Information Reference Signal,CSI-RS),终端设备可以通过CSI-RS/CSI-RS资源来识别出不同的beam。
在Multi-beam传输场景中,物理下行控制信道(Physical Downlink Control Channel,PDCCH)和物理下行共享信道(Physical Downlink Shared Channel,PDSCH)可以通过不同的下行发送波束来传输。
对于非毫米波(例如2G/3G/4G)系统,终端设备一般没有模拟波束,因此采用全向天线(或者接近全向的天线)来接收基站通过不同下行发送波束发送的信号。
对于毫米波系统,终端设备可能会有模拟波束,此时,终端设备需要使用下行接收波束去接收对应的下行发送波束发送的信号。因此,需要相应的波束指示信息(beam indication)来协助终端设备确定网络设备的发送波束相关信息,或者终端设备对应的接收波束相关信息。
在NR系统中,波束指示信息不是直接指示波束本身,而是通过信号之间的准共址(Quasi Co-Location,QCL)信息来进行指示。终端设备可以基于QCL信息(也可以称为QCL假设)确定接收相应的信道/信号。网络设备在传输下行控制信道或数据信道,会通过传输配置指示(Transmission Configuration Indicator state,TCI)状态(TCI state)将对应的QCL信息告知给终端设备。
2、多传输/发送接收点(Transmission/reception point,TRP)或多天线(panel)或多beam传输。
多TRP传输(mTRP传输,或者M-TRP传输),是指在同一个载波上,多个TRP可以同时和终端设备进行通信。多beam传输同样也是在同一个载波上,通过多个beam同时和终端设备进行通信。示例性的,参考图2A所示,在多TRP传输中,多个TRP(图2A中仅示出了TRP1和TRP2)可以使用独立的波束分别与终端设备进行传输。参考图2B所示,在多beam传输中,基站可通过不同的波束与终端设备进行通信。
需要说明的是,由于在NR系统中,多TRP传输、多panel、或者多beam同时和一个终端进行传输,可以采用相同的方案。因此,本申请实施例中不对上述概念加以区分,统称为多TRP/panel/beam。
在NR系统中,多TRP/panel/beam同时给终端设备传输下行数据的方式包括以下两种:
方式一、基于单PDCCH的方式(single-PDCCH based scheme)。具体地,终端设备只检测一个PDCCH,该PDCCH中一个DCI指示多个TRP/panel/beam上同时传输的数据的相关指示信息。
需要说明的是,通信系统中利用多个TCI-state来隐式地指示多个TRP/panel/beam上传输的数据。
方式二、基于多PDCCH的方式(multiple-PDCCH based scheme)。具体地,终端设备接收来自不同的TRP/panel/beam上不同的PDCCH,每个PDCCH上检测得到的DCI指示一个对应的数据传输的相关指示信息。
需要说明的是,每个DCI对应的控制资源集(CORESET)可能会关联到不同的CORESET资源池编号(CORESET pool index),即DCI通过多个不同的CORESET pool index来隐式地支持多个TRP/panel/beam传输。
应理解,该方式一中,终端设备只需要检测一个PDCCH,因此控制信道检测复杂度可能会低于方式二。然而,方式一需要不同的panel/TRP/beam之间能够快速交互信息。而方式二中,终端设备需要在同一个载波上同时去检测多个PDCCH,复杂度可能会有所增加,但是灵活性和鲁棒性可能会改善。
可选地,上述方式二可以应用的场景可以包括以下至少一项:
场景1,多个TRP属于同一个小区,TRP之间的连接(backhaul)是理想的(即可以快速进行信息交互,动态信息交互)。
场景2,多个TRP属于同一个小区,TRP之间的连接(backhaul)是非理想的(即TRP之间无法快速交互信息,只能进行相对较慢的数据交互)。
场景3,多个TRP属于不同的小区,TRP之间的连接(backhaul)是理想的。
场景4,多个TRP属于不同的小区,TRP之间的连接(backhaul)是非理想的。
应理解,将场景1至场景4中的TRP对应的换成beam,则可以对应的得到四个Multi-beam的应用场景。
而对于上述方式一,只适用于理想backhaul的场景(例如上述场景1和场景3)。
在标准讨论的版本16(即R16)中,只研究和支持了下行数据传输的多TRP传输。在R17中,研究和支持了PDCCH,PUSCH,PUCCH的多TRP传输,以增加相应信道传输的可靠性。
在R15及R16中,PDCCH的时频资源通过一个搜索空间及该搜索空间所关联的CORESET定 义,其中该PDCCH传输时的TCI状态由CORESET的TCI状态来决定。高层信令为每个CORESET定义了一个或多个TCI状态,当高层信令为每个CORESET定义了多个TCI状态时,在任一时刻,MAC层信令会激活其中的一个TCI状态用于该CORESET所关联的所有搜索空间下的PDCCH的传输。也就是说,在现有规范中,每个搜索空间所定义的PDCCH由该搜索空间所关联的CORESET的唯一一个TCI状态来传输。由于PDCCH仅通过一个TCI状态进行传输时其链路可能发生堵塞,进而导致PDCCH无法被正确检测,为了提高PDCCH传输的可靠性,R17中研究了通过不同TRP进行PDCCH的传输。
为了支持PDCCH多TRP传输,当PDCCH通过两个TCI状态进行传输时,如何通过这两个TCI状态来传输PDCCH。3GPP采用的方案是把两个搜索空间关联起来,两个搜索空间分别与CORESET中的其中一个TCI状态关联,每个搜索空间包含一组候选PDCCH(PDCCH candidate)。关联的两个搜索空间上的候选PDCCH(或者说DCI)传输同一个调度信息,例如调度同一个上行传输,或者调度同一个下行传输。
需要说明的是,针对多TRP系统,以上描述的传输方案都是针对在同一个载波的情况,例如针对multiple-PDCCH based scheme,终端设备是在同一个载波上检测多个DCI(现有协议支持2个),其中每个DCI可以调度对应的PDSCH,多个PDSCH也是在同一个载波上。再例如,PDCCH多TRP传输中,关联的两个搜索空间上的候选PDCCH都是在同一个载波上进行传输和接收的。
3、TCI状态。
终端设备在进行信号接收时,为了提高接收性能,可以利用数据传输所对应的传输环境的特性来改进接收算法。例如可以利用信道的统计特性来优化信道估计器的设计和参数。在NR系统中,数据传输所对应的这些特性通过QCL信息(QCL-Info)来表示。
应理解,一个TCI状态可以包括:TCI状态标识(ID),QCL信息1,QCL信息2。其中,QCL信息2为可选项。另外,一个QCL信息可以包括:QCL类型配置和QCL参考信号配置,QCL类型配置可以是QCL类型A(typeA),QCL typeB,QCL typeC或QCL typeD中的一个,参考信号配置可以是小区ID,带宽部分(Bandwidth Part,BWP)ID以及参考信号的标识(例如CSI-RS资源ID或SSB索引);
其中,不同QCL类型的定义如下:QCL TypeA用于配置以下内容{多普勒频移(Doppler shift),多普勒扩展(Doppler spread),平均时延(average delay),时延扩展(delay spread)},QCL typeB用于配置{Doppler shift,Doppler spread},QCL typeC用于配置{Doppler shift,average delay},QCL typeD用于配置{空间Rx参数(Spatial Rx parameter)}。
可选地,网络设备可以为下行信号(或称为下行信道)指示相应的TCI状态。
如果网络设备通过TCI状态为目标下行信号(或目标下行信道)的QCL参考信号配置为SSB 1或CSI-RS 1资源,且QCL类型配置为typeA,typeB或typeC,则终端设备可以假设上述目标下行信号与SSB 1或参考CSI-RS 1的资源的大尺度参数是相同的或类似的,该大尺度参数通过QCL类型配置来确定。
如果网络设备通过TCI状态为目标下行信号(或下行信道)的QCL参考信号配置为SSB 2或CSI-RS 2资源,且QCL类型配置为typeD,则终端设备可以采用与接收SSB 2或CSI-RS 2资源相同的空间接收参数(即Spatial Rx parameter),来接收目标下行信号。通常的,目标下行信号(或目标下行信道)与SSB 2或CSI-RS 2资源在网络设备侧由同一个TRP或者同一个panel或者相同的波束来发送。
应理解,如果两个下行信号(下行信道)的传输TRP或传输panel或发送波束不同,通常会配置不同的TCI状态。
对于下行控制信道,可以通过无线资源控制(Radio Resource Control,RRC)信令或者RRC信令加媒体接入控制(Medium Access Control,MAC)信令的方式来指示TCI状态。
对于下行数据信道,TCI状态集合通过RRC信令来指示,并通过MAC层信令来激活其中部分TCI状态,最后通过下行控制信息(DownlinkControlInformation,DCI)中的TCI指示域从激活的TCI状态中指示一个或两个TCI状态,用于所述DCI调度的PDSCH。
4、统一TCI状态。
上述TCI状态仅适用于下行信道和下行信号,且在NR系统中应用起来有诸多的限制。为了给NR系统提供一个更统一的上下行波束管理机制,在上述技术的基础上,第三代合作伙伴计划(3rd Generation Partnership Project,3GPP)组织提出了统一TCI状态(unified TCI state)的概念。具体地,unified TCI state设计了2种unified TCI state的模式。
模式一:包含1类TCI state,这类TCI state可以适用于上行和下行的信道和信号;通常将这类TCI state称作联合TCI state(joint TCI state)
模式二:包含下行TCI state(DL TCI state)和上行TCI state(UL TCI state)两类TCI state。其中,DL TCI state仅适用于下行的信道和信号;UL TCI state仅适用于上行的信道和信号。这类TCI state可以称作separate TCI state(独立TCI state)。网络可以只配置其中一类TCI state,例如只配置下行TCI state,或者只配置上行TCI state;网络也可以同时配置这两类TCI state,例如网络同时配置了下行TCI state和上行TCI state。
应理解,下行信道(部分PDCCH,PDSCH)和信号(非周期CSI-RS)可以使用DL TCI state或joint TCI state指示对应传输。上行信道(例如物理上行控制信道PUCCH,物理上行共享信道PUSCH)和信号(信道探测参考信号SRS)使用UL TCI state或joint TCI state,指示上行传输,例如指示上行传输对应的空间滤波器(spatial domain filter)。
可选地,Unified TCI state可以使用MAC控制单元(MAC Control Element,MAC CE)和/或DCI动态更新和指示。
需要说明的是,unified TCI state适用于载波聚合的场景,单个分量载波(Component Carrier,CC)上的TCI state配置和/或指示可以适用于多个不同的CC。
对于每个CC上的CORESET可以分为以下四种类型:
CORESET A:它仅关联到终端设备专属的搜索空间上,因此可以认为是终端设备专属的下行控制信道资源,且一定要跟随被指示的unified TCI state(s)。
CORESET B:它仅关联到小区公共的搜索空间上,它是否可以跟随网络指示的unified TCI state(s),需要根据网络的RRC配置确定。
CORESET C:它即关联到终端设备专属的搜索空间上,也关联到小区公共的搜索空间上,它是否可以跟随网络指示的unified TCI state(s),需要根据网络的RRC配置确定。
CORESET 0:它关联到小区公共的搜索空间,也可以同时关联到终端设备专属的搜索空间,它是否可以跟随网络指示的unified TCI state(s),需要根据网络的RRC配置确定。
需要说明的是,本申请实施例提及的TCI state,如果没有明确指明是哪种TCI state,则包含前述提到的任意TCI state。也就是说,TCI state可以是joint TCI state,可以是separate TCI state,可以是DL TCI state,可以是UL TCI state,也可以是他们的组合(即包含多个不同类型的TCI state)。实际应用中,如果使用RRC参数“TCI-State”进行配置,那么一般指的是DL TCI state和/或joint TCI state。如果使用RRC参数“DLorJointTCIState”进行配置,那么一般指的是DL TCI state和/或joint TCI state。如果使用RRC参数“UL-TCIState”或“TCI-UL-State”或“UL-TCI-State”进行配置,那么一般指的是UL TCI state。
5、PDCCH。
网络设备通过配置控制资源集(CORESET)和搜索空间(Search Space),来指示PDCCH的传输。
其中,CORESET在频域上包括多个物理资源块,在时域上包括1~3个时域符号。CORESET占用的时域资源由高层参数半静态配置。
另外,搜索空间是一个或多个聚合等级下候选PDCCH(PDCCH candidate)的集合。网络设备(例如基站)实际发送的PDCCH的聚合等级可变,由于没有相关信令告知终端设备,终端设备需要在不同聚合等级下盲检PDCCH。其中,待盲检的PDCCH称为候选PDCCH。终端设备会在搜索空间内对候选PDCCH进行译码,如果循环冗余校验(Cyclic Redundancy Check,CRC)校验通过,则认为所译码的PDCCH的内容对所述终端设备有效,并利用译码所获得的信息进行后续操作。
需要说明的是,搜索空间还可称为搜索空间集合(Search Space set),搜索空间和搜索空间集合为同一概念。
在NR系统中,每个服务小区的每个下行BWP内,网络设备最多可以为终端设备配置10个搜索空间,该搜索空间中配置了时域配置信息,用以指示终端设备检测PDCCH的时域位置。同时网络设备为每个搜索空间配置了关联的CORESET标识(CORESET ID),终端设备通过CORESET ID可以获得该搜索空间在频域上的物理资源。每个搜索空间集合有一个唯一关联的CORESET ID。不同的搜索空间集合可以关联到相同的CORESET ID。终端设备根据搜索空间集合给出的时域和关联的CORESET ID的频域及搜索空间集合中的其它参数来确定候选PDCCH的时频域位置。
网络设备在配置CORESET时,为每个CORESET配置了一个或一组TCI状态,该TCI状态用来指示终端设备在该CORESET关联的搜索空间的候选PDCCH进行解调检测时所需要的相关参数。 当网络设备为某个CORESET配置了一组TCI状态,网络设备会通过MAC CE信令为该CORESET激活一个TCI状态,用来协助终端设备解调此PDCCH。
此外,网络设备还可以为每个CORESET配置一个用以指示是否为相同TRP的高层指示(即CORESET pool index,RRC参数中对应名字为coresetPoolIndex)。该值的取值范围为0和1。对于配置了相同的CORESET pool index的CORESET,终端设备可以认为这是来自相同TRP的数据。
R17的unified TCI state仅支持单TRP/panel/beam的场景,针对多TRP/panel/beam传输系统中的PDCCH repetition,unified TCI state如何配置和指示,还缺乏完善的方案和具体细节。
为便于理解本申请实施例的技术方案,以下通过具体实施例详述本申请的技术方案。以上相关技术作为可选方案与本申请实施例的技术方案可以进行任意结合,其均属于本申请实施例的保护范围。本申请实施例包括以下内容中的至少部分内容。
图3是本申请实施例提供的数据传输方法的流程示意图一,如图3所示,该方法包括以下内容。
步骤310、终端设备确定针对第一PDCCH的至少一个第一TCI状态,其中,至少一个第一TCI状态用于指示多个候选PDCCH(PDCCH candidate)中至少一个候选PDCCH的QCL信息,多个候选PDCCH用于传输/重复传输第一PDCCH;
步骤320、终端设备基于至少一个第一TCI状态,接收第一PDCCH。
本申请实施例中,至少一个第一TCI状态可以是激活的或使用的统一TCI状态。至少一个第一TCI状态可以是网络设备配置的。
应理解,终端设备在进行第一PDCCH的接收/检测时,可以先根据至少一个第一TCI状态确定用于传输第一PDCCH的多个候选PDCCH中至少一个候选PDCCH的QCL信息,进而,终端设备根据至少一个候选PDCCH的QCL信息接收第一PDCCH。
可选地,网络设备配置的第一TCI状态的数量为1的情况下,终端设备可以根据配置的一个第一TCI状态接收/检测一个候选PDCCH得到第一PDCCH(即不进行重复传输),或者,终端设备根据配置的一个第一TCI状态,确定多个候选PDCCH中的每个候选PDCCH的QCL信息,并接收/检测多个候选PDCCH得到第一PDCCH(仍然进行重复传输)。需要说明的是,终端设备在第一TCI状态的数量为1的情况下,使用以上两种方式中的哪一个方式可以是预定义的,也可以由网络设备配置,本申请实施例对此不做限制。
另外,网络设备配置的第一TCI状态的数量为多个时,终端设备可以根据配置的每个第一TCI状态确定多个候选PDCCH中每个候选PDCCH的QCL信息,并接收/检测多个候选PDCCH得到第一PDCCH。
需要说明的是,多个候选PDCCH可以来自不同的搜索空间,并且多个候选PDCCH传输同一个调度信息,对应多TRP/panel/beam的传输场景中PDCCH重复传输。
综上可知,终端设备可以根据一个或多个第一TCI状态,确定用于传输/重复传输的至少一个候选PDCCH的QCL,以基于至少一个候选PDCCH得到第一PDCCH,保证了第一PDCCH的正确传输。

应理解,上述至少一个第一TCI状态的类型可以是网络设备配置的。网络设备可以向终端设备发送第七指示信息或第八指示信息,通过第七指示信息或第八指示信息来配置至少一个第一TCI状态的类型。

应理解,M个TCI状态可以包括用于上行操作/上行传输的UL TCI state,以及用于下行操作/下行传输/下行接收的DL TCI state。每个TCI数量指示信息可以指示UL TCI state和DL TCI state的总数量,如此,能够减少比特数,压缩第一MAC CE信令的开销。
可选地,每个TCI数量指示信息的长度可以为2bit或3bit,以及其他数量的比特,本申请实施例对此不做限制。
可选地,M的取值可以为1-4中的任一值。其中,UL TCI state的数量小于或等于2,DL TCI state的数量小于或等于2。如此设置M的取值实现简单,能够获得多TRP的绝大部分性能增益,同时提高了网络配置和调度的灵活性。
可选地,在M小于或等于4的场景中,每个TCI数量指示信息所在的信息域的一个码本(codepoint)可以对应1个或2个Joint TCI state。
可选地,M的取值可以为1-6中的任一值。其中,DL TCI state的数量小于或等于4,UL TCI state的数量小于或等于2。如此设置M的取值可以支持更多TRP进行下行传输,在部分场景下,对下行性能有一些提升,为网络优化提供更大的自由度。
可选地,M的取值可以是1-8中的任一值。其中,DL TCI state的数量小于或等于4,UL TCI state的数量小于或等于4。如此设置M的取值,可以支持更多TRP进行下行传输和上行传输,在部分场景下,对下行和上行性能有一些提升,为网络优化提供更大的自由度
可选地,在M小于等于6,或M小于等于8的场景中,每个TCI数量指示信息所在的信息域的一个码本(codepoint)可以对应1个、2个、3个或4个Joint TCI state。
本申请实施例中,第一MAC CE信令中还可以包括至少一个TCI类型指示信息,用于指示对应的TCI state是DL/Joint TCI state,还是UL TCI state。
可选地,TCI类型指示信息用于指示所在同一个字节(Octet)的TCI状态是DL/Joint TCI state,还是UL TCI state。
可选的,TCI类型指示信息用于指示所在同一个字节的TCI状态是第二TCI state组中的TCI state,还是第三TCI state组中的TCI state。
本申请实施例中,第一MAC CE信令中可以包括多个TCI指示域,用于指示多个可用的TCI状态的配置信息。其中,每个TCI指示域可以指示一个TCI状态的配置信息。
可选地,配置信息可以包括TCI状态ID,QCL信息1,以及QCL信息2。
可选地,第一MAC CE信令中还可以包括一个或多个字节指示信息,这里的一个或多个字节指示信息与上述多个TCI指示域对应,其中,每个字节指示信息用于指示其对应的TCI指示域是否存在。
示例性的,参考图4所示的第一MAC CE信令结构示意图一,其中,C i为字节指示信息,i为大于或等于0的整数。C i可以指示位于C i所属字节之后的另一字节中包括的TCI状态(即图4中的TCI state ID i,2)是否存在。
可选地,如果TCI状态的配置信息用于配置DL/Joint TCI state,那么该TCI状态的配置信息长度为7bit。
可选地,如果TCI状态的配置信息用于配置UL TCI state,那么该TCI状态的配置信息的最高比特位(the most significant bit)是保留比特位,其余6比特指示UL TCI state。
可选地,如果TCI状态的配置信息用于配置UL TCI state,该TCI状态配置信息的7个比特位可以均用于指示UL TCI state,能够指示更多的UL TCI state,提高网络调度灵活性。
可选地,第一MAC CE信令中除了以上信息之外,还可以包括服务小区指示信息,示例性的,可以使用服务小区ID来指示对应的服务小区。服务小区指示信息的长度为5bit。本申请实施例中的 第一MAC CE信令应用于所指示的服务小区。
可选地,第一MAC CE信令中还可以包括TCI状态子集合(或者称为DCI codepoint)数量指示信息,其指示值为1到K之间的正整数。可选地,该TCI状态子集合数量是指第一MAC CE信令中指示的TCI状态对应的DCI中第一信息域的codepoint的数目,可选的,第一信息域为DCI中的“Transmission configuration indication”信息域。通过在第一MAC CE信令中指示DCI中codepoint的数量,可以让终端设备减少读取/解析部分比特的信息,降低实现复杂度。
可选地,第一MAC CE信令中指示的(也可以称为激活的)TCI状态的最大数量可以为32、48、或者64。
应理解,若第一MAC CE信令指示的TCI状态的最大数量为32,则终端设备最多支持上下行都是2个TRP传输。若第一MAC CE信令指示的TCI状态的最大数量为48,则终端设备最多支持下行4个TRP传输,上行2个TRP传输,以提高下行传输性能,以及网络配置和调度的灵活性,同时也把终端设备的实现复杂度控制在一定范围。若第一MAC CE信令指示的TCI状态的最大数量为64,则终端设备最多支持下行4个TRP传输,上行4个TRP传输,以提高上行和下行传输性能,以及网络配置和调度的灵活性,终端设备的实现复杂度较高。
可选地,第一MAC CE指示的(也可以称为激活的)Joint TCI state的最大数量为16,或者32。
在一示例中,参考图4所示的第一MAC CE信令结构示意图一,第一MAC CE信令中可以包括:服务小区ID,DL BWP ID,UL BWP ID,TCI状态ID i,j,字节指示信息C i,以及保留比特R。其中,i的取值从0至M-1,j的取值为0至K-1。
其中,每个TCI状态ID i,j可以用于指示第一TCI状态组中的一个TCI state,i可以对应DCI中“Transmission configuration indication”信息域的codepoint的编号,TCI state ID i,j指示了DCI中“Transmission configuration indication”信息域的第i个codepoint对应的第j个TCI状态。
需要说明的是,TCI状态和codepoint的对应关系有各种方案,例如TCI状态ID 0,1和TCI状态ID 0,2对应“Transmission configuration indication”信息域的取值(或者指示值)为0,TCI状态ID 1,1和TCI状态ID 1,2对应“Transmission configuration indication”信息域的取值(或者指示值)为1,依次类推。
应理解,TCI状态ID i,j,j大于1是可选的,取决于C i的指示。示例性的,图4中C i可以用于指示TCI状态ID i,2的字节是否存在。若C i取值为1,则包含TCI状态ID i,2的字节存在;如果这个C i取值为0,则包含TCI状态ID i,2的字节不存在。或者,若C i取值为1,则包含TCI状态ID i,2的字节不存在;若C i取值为0,则包含TCI状态ID i,2的字节存在。
另外,R为保留比特,取值可以为0,或者其他指定值,本申请实施例对此不做限制。
需要说明的是,以上第一MAC CE信令结构仅仅是一个示意,不同信息域的位置可以调整,同时上述第一MAC CE信令中的一些信息可以是可选的,也就是说,第一MAC CE信令中可以不包括以上部分信息。
在另一示例中,参考图5所示的第一MAC CE信令结构示意图二,第一MAC CE信令中可以包括:服务小区ID,DL BWP ID,UL BWP ID,TCI状态ID,多个TCI数量指示信息,TCI类型指示信息(图5中使用D/U表征),以及保留比特R。
其中,每个TCI数量指示信息可以由一个P i,0和P i,1组成的比特子组(a subset of bits)指示。P i,0和P i,1组成的比特子组的取值指示DCI的“Transmission configuration indication”信息域中第i个codepoint对应M个TCI state。
可选地,M的取值可以为1-4中的任一值。例如P i,0和P i,1取值为00,01,10,11分别对应的M取值为1,2,3,4;P i,0和P i,1取值为00,10,01,11分别对应的M取值为1,2,3,4。其中,上述M个TCI state中不多于2个DL TCI state,M个TCI state中不多于2个UL TCI state。可选地,P i,0和P i,1可以指示第i个codepoint对应的1个或2个joint TCI state。
应理解,每个TCI数量指示信息可以指示UL TCI state和DL TCI state的总数量,如此,能够减少比特数,压缩第一MAC CE信令的开销。
可选地,i取值可以从0开始(图5中的示例),也可以从1开始,本申请实施例对此不做限制。
可选地,在网络设备通过第七指示信息指示统一TCI状态的类型为joint TCI state的情况下,P i,0和P i,1可以分别指示第i个codepoint对应M1个DL TCI state和M2个UL TCI state。例如,P i,0指示M1个DL TCI state,P i,1指示M2个UL TCI state;或者,P i,0指示M2个UL TCI state,P i,1指示M1个DL TCI state,本申请实施例对指示方式不做限制。
可选地,M1和M2的取值可以为1,2中的任一值。
应理解,通过分别指示DL TCI state和UL TCI state的数量,能够更加灵活地设计MAC CE信令,便于未来的方案扩展。
另外,本申请实施中,TCI类型指示信息(图5中使用D/U表征)用于指示同一个字节里TCI状态ID所指示的TCI状态为DL/joint TCI state,还是UL TCI state。
示例性的,D/U取值为1,指示同一个字节里TCI状态ID所指示的TCI状态的类型为DL/joint TCI state;D/U取值为0,指示同一个字节里TCI状态ID所指示的TCI状态的类型为UL TCI state。或者,D/U取值为0,指示同一个字节里TCI状态ID所指示的TCI状态的类型为DL/joint TCI state;D/U取值为1,指示同一个字节里TCI状态ID所指示的TCI状态的类型为UL TCI state。本申请实施例对具体指示方式不做限制。
可选地,TCI状态ID指示一个TCI state,可以是DL TCI state/joint TCI state,也可以是一个UL TCI state。示例性的,如果D/U的取值为1,TCI状态ID所指示的TCI状态的类型为DL/joint TCI state,那么TCI状态ID信息域的长度为7bit;如果D/U域取值为0,TCI状态ID所指示的TCI状态的类型为UL TCI state,那么TCI状态ID信息域的长度为7bit或6bit。当TCI状态ID信息域的长度为6bit时,该TCI状态ID的最高位(the most significant bit)是保留比特,剩余的6比特指示UL TCI state。
在一些实施例中,终端设备可以根据以上第一MAC CE信令中携带的信息,确定网络设备指示的多个可用(激活)的TCI状态,具体地,用于第一PDCCH传输的至少一个第一TCI状态可以是第一MAC CE信令中配置的多个可用(激活)的TCI状态中用于下行操作/传输/接收的TCI状态。
在另一些实施例中,终端设备还可以接收网络设备发送的第一指示信息,第一指示信息用于指示所述多个可用的TCI状态中至少一个TCI状态,具体地,用于第一PDCCH传输的至少一个第一TCI状态可以是第一指示信息中指示的至少一个TCI状态中用于下行操作/传输/接收的TCI状态。
可选地,第一指示信息可以指示以下中的至少一项:
PDSCH解调参考信号(Demodulation Reference Signal,DMRS)对应的QCL信息;

至少部分CSI-RS对应的QCL信息;
PUSCH的上行发送空间滤波器(UL TX spatial filter);
至少部分PUCCH的上行发送空间滤波器;
至少部分SRS的上行发送空间滤波器。
可选地,第一指示信息可以与第二指示信息为同一信息。也就是说,终端设备可以仅根据第一MAC CE信令确定用于第一PDCCH传输的至少一个第一TCI状态。例如,第一MAC CE仅指示第一码点(codepoint)对应的TCI state,没有指示其他码点对应的TCI state,并且第一码点对应TCI state X1,X2,则终端设备可以直接根据TCI state X1和X2确定所述至少一个第一TCI状态。
可选地,第一指示信息也可以与第二指示信息为不同的信息。也就是说,终端设备可以根据第一MAC CE信令确定多个可用的(或称为激活的)TCI状态。网络设备通过第二指示信息指示可用的TCI状态中至少一个TCI状态,以告知终端设备其使用的至少一个TCI状态。进而,终端设备可以根据第一指示信息和第二指示信息确定用于第一PDCCH传输的至少一个第一TCI状态。
可选地,第一指示信息可以通过RRC信令,或MAC CE信令(例如第一MAC CE信令)传输。
可选的,第一指示信息也可以通过DCI传输。可选的,第一指示信息可以通过DCI中的“Transmission configuration indication”信息域来传输。例如第一MAC CE指示第一码点(codepoint)对应TCI state X1,X2,第二码点(codepoint)对应TCI state X3,第一指示信息通过DCI对应信息域指示了第一码点,则终端设备可以根据TCI state X1和X2确定所述至少一个第一TCI状态。
可选地,该DCI可以为DCI格式1_1和/或DCI格式1_2。其中,DCI格式1_1/DCI格式1_2可是同时调度数据或者不调度下行传输。
可选的,该DCI为DCI格式1_1,DCI格式1_2,DCI格式0_1,以及DCI格式0_2中的至少一项。其中,DCI格式1_1/DCI格式1_2可是同时调度数据或者不调度下行传输(with or without,DL assignment),DCI格式0_1/DCI格式0_2可是同时调度数据或者不调度上行传输(with or without,UL assignment)。
可选的,如果不调度下行传输(without DL assignment),对于DCI格式1_1/DCI格式1_2,终端设备可以进行如下假设(或者说,DCI格式1_1/DCI格式1_2满足如下条件):
参考信号临时标识符(CS-RNTI)用于对DCI的CRC进行加扰;
或者,DCI信息域的设置包括:RV全部设置为1(即RV=all'1's),MCS全部设置为1(即MCS=all'1's),NDI设置为0(即NDI=0);另外,对于FDRA类型0,全部设置为0(Set to all'0's for FDRA  Type 0),或者对于FDRA类型1,全部设置为1(Set to all'1's for FDRA Type 1);或者对于dynamicSwitch,全部设置为0(Set to all'0's for dynamicSwitch)。
可选地,如果第一指示信息指示的一个或多个TCI状态中至少一个TCI状态(例如TCI state X)与先前指示的(the previously indicated)TCI状态中的任意一个都不同,或者如果第二指示信息指示的一个或多个TCI state中至少一个TCI state(例如TCI state X)与第一终端设备当前激活(activated)/使用(applied)的所有TCI state中的任意一个都不同,那么从第一PUCCH的最后一个符号起之后的至少间隔BeamAppTime个符号后的第一个时域单元(例如时隙)开始,第一指示信息指示的TCI state X生效,即终端设备可以根据TCI state X来确定上行发送空间滤波器,和/或下行传输/接收对应的QCL信息。其中,第一PUCCH传输承载第一指示信息DCI对应的HARQ-ACK信息。
示例性的,以一个DCI最多能指示2个用于下行操作/传输/接收的TCI state为例,假设网络设备先前指示了TCI state A1,TCI state A2用于下行传输,当前这次DCI指示的信号中包含了TCI state X,并且TCI state X和TCI state A1/A2都不同,则需要考虑上面的流程,来确定TCI state X在什么时候可以使用(can be applied)。再例如,目前终端设备使用1个或2个TCI state(记为A1,A2)来确定下行传输对应的QCL信息,当前这次DCI指示的信号中包含了TCI state X,并且TCI state X和TCI state A1/A2都不同,则需要考虑上面的流程,来确定TCI state X在什么时候可以使用(can be applied)。
可选地,在将第一指示信息指示的当前TCI状态与先前指示的TCI状态进行对比时,优先考虑相同方向的TCI状态。例如,如果TCI state X用于上行传输,则考虑先前指示的用于上行传输的TCI状态与TCI state X不同;如果TCI state X用于下行传输/接收,则考虑先前指示的用于下行传输/接收的TCI状态与TCI state X不同;如果TCI state X用于上行传输以及下行传输/接收,则考虑先前指示的用于上行传输以及下行传输/接收的TCI状态与TCI state X不同。
需要说明的是,在系统中,一般会有多次第一指示信息指示。在上面方案中提到的“先前指示的”,可以理解为在先前的第一指示信息指示的,例如前面最近一次第一指示信息指示的。
可选地,BeamAppTime根据终端设备能力上报确定,或者BeamAppTime由网络配置确定,本申请实施例对比不做限制。
需要说明的是,对于PDCCH重复传输,或者终端设备在多个搜索空间接收(receive)或检测(monitor)候选PDCCH时,使用不同的TCI state进行接收或检测也需要考虑类似的时序要求(requirement for timing)。
需要说明的是,以上第一MAC CE信令结构仅仅是一个示意,不同信息域的位置可以调整,同时上述第一MAC CE信令中的一些信息可以是可选的,也就是说,第一MAC CE信令中可以不包括以上部分信息。
本申请实施例中,网络设备发送的第二指示信息可以指示多个可用(激活)的TCI状态,第一指示信息可以指示多个可用(激活)的TCI状态中使用的(applied)N个TCI状态。相应的,终端设备可以根据第一指示信息和第二指示信息确定N个TCI状态。
可选地,N个TCI状态中的至少部分用于确定/指示下行操作/传输/接收对应的QCL信息。
可选的,N个TCI状态可以包括用于下行操作/传输/接收的第一TCI状态,和/或,用于上行传输/发送的第二TCI状态。其中,第一TCI状态的数量可以为K1,第二TCI状态的数量可以为K2。其中,0<=K1<=N,0<=K2<=N。例如,N=K1=K2,N=K1,K2=0,或者其他组合,本申请实施例对此不做限制。
可选地,在一些实施例中,K1个第一TCI状态可以用于指示多个搜索空间中至少一个搜索空间对应的候选PDCCH的QCL信息(或者QCL假设)。相应的,终端设备可以根据K1个第一TCI状态,确定用于第一PDCCH传输的多个搜索空间分别对应的候选PDCCH的QCL信息(或者QCL假设),或者终端设备根据K1个第一TCI状态确定多个搜索空间分别对应的候选PDCCH DMRS的QCL信息(或者QCL假设)。
应理解,针对某个搜索空间来确定QCL信息,可以增加更多的灵活性,例如同一个CORESET对应多个搜索空间,这多个搜索空间中的至少部分搜索空间对应的候选PDCCH可以使用不同的QCL信息。
示例性的,K1个第一TCI状态包括第一TCI状态1和第一TCI状态2,其中,第一搜索空间和第二搜索空间关联,且第一搜索空间和第二搜索空间用于第一PDCCH重复传输。具体地,第一搜索空间对应的候选PDCCH/PDCCH DMRS的QCL信息可以根据第一TCI状态1确定,和/或,第二搜索空间对应的候选PDCCH/PDCCH DMRS的QCL信息根据第一TCI状态2确定。
可选的,在另一些实施例中,K1个第一TCI状态用于指示多个CORESET中至少一个CORESET对应的候选PDCCH的QCL信息。相应的,终端设备根据K1个第一TCI状态,确定多个CORESET对应的候选PDCCH的QCL信息(或者QCL假设),或者终端设备根据K1个第一TCI状态,确定多个CORESET对应的候选PDCCH DMRS的QCL信息(QCL假设)。
应理解,同一个CORESET对应多个搜索空间,多个搜索空间对应的PDCCH可以使用相同的QCL信息。针对某个CORESET来确定QCL信息和现有机制保持类似原理,可以降低实现复杂度。
示例性的,K1个第一TCI状态包括第一TCI状态1和第一TCI状态2,其中,第一搜索空间和第二搜索空间用于第一PDCCH重复传输,且第一搜索空间与第一CORESET对应,第二搜索空间与第二CORESET对应。具体地,第一CORESET对应的候选PDCCH/PDCCH DMRS的QCL信息根据第一TCI状态1确定,和/或,第二CORESET对应的候选PDCCH/PDCCH DMRS的QCL信息根据第一TCI状态2确定。
以下详细介绍第一PDCCH的传输方式。
在一些实施例中,参考图6所示,在至少一个第一TCI状态的数量包括一个(即K1=1)的情况下,步骤320中终端设备基于至少一个第一TCI状态,接收第一PDCCH,可以通过以下方式实现:
步骤3201、终端设备通过第一搜索空间对应的候选PDCCH接收第一PDCCH,第一搜索空间对应的候选PDCCH的QCL信息通过第一TCI状态确定,第一搜索空间为所述多个搜索空间中的任一搜索空间。
应理解,在配置了单个第一TCI状态的情况下,终端设备可以仅接收一个候选PDCCH,根据该单个第一TCI状态确定候选PDCCH/PDCCH DMRS的QCL信息。如此,降低终端设备的处理复杂度,节约终端设备的能耗。
可选地,第一搜索空间根据以下任意一项确定:
第一搜索空间是多个搜索空间中标识为第一指定标识的搜索空间;
第一搜索空间是多个控制资源集中标识为第二指定标识的控制资源集对应的搜索空间;多个控制资源集与多个搜索空间对应;
第一搜索空间根据网络设备发送的第三指示信息确定。
应理解,第一搜索空间可以是根据预定义规则确定的,也可以是网络配置的。
可选地,第一指定标识为多个搜索空间的标识中最小的标识,或者,多个搜索空间的标识中最大的标识;第一指定标识也可以是多个搜索空间的标识中第二小的标识,或者第二大的标识,本申请实施例对此不做限制。
可选地,第二指定标识为多个控制资源集的标识中最小的标识,或者多个控制资源集的标识中最大的标识,第二指定标识也可以是多个控制资源集的标识中第二小的标识,或者第二大的标识,本申请实施例对此不做限制。
也就是说,第一搜索空间可以是多个搜索空间中标识最小(或最大)的搜索空间,第一搜索空间也可以是多个控制资源集中标识最小(或最大)的控制资源集对应的搜索空间。
本申请实施例中,可以根据搜索空间的标识确定第一搜索空间,也可以根据控制资源集的标识确定第一搜索空间,本申请实施例对此不做限制。
应理解,通过预定义规则确定第一搜索空间,可以有效降低终端设备和网络设备的实现复杂度。
本申请实施例中,第一搜索空间还可以是网络设备通过第三指示信息配置的。
可选地,第三指示信息可以通过RRC信令,或MAC CE信令携带。其中,通过RRC信令携带可以提高传输可靠性,通过MAC CE信令携带可以提高灵活性。需要说明的是,第三指示信息可以与上述第一指示信息和/或第二指示信息为同一信息,第三指示信息也可以是与第一指示信息和第二指示信息不同的信息,本申请实施例对此不作限制。
可选地,若第三指示信息通过RRC信令传输,则第三指示信息可以是针对终端设备配置、或者针对服务小区配置,或者针对服务小区组(Serving cell group)配置,或者针对BWP配置,或者针对CORESET配置,或者针对搜索空间配置,或者针对相互关联的一组搜索空间配置的(这里的一组搜索空间可以包括上文中用于PDCCH重复传输的多个搜索空间),本申请实施例对此不做限制。
可选地,若第三指示信息通过MAC CE信令传输,则第三指示信息可以针对一个服务小区列表(a list of serving cell,这个列表可以由网络设备配置)配置,针对服务小区配置,针对BWP配置,针对CORESET配置,针对搜索空间配置的,或者针对相互关联的一组搜索空间配置,本申请实施例对此不做限制。需要说明的是,由于传输第三指示信息的信令不同,配置的对象也或有所不同。
可选地,第三指示信息用于指示以下任意一项:
第一搜索空间的标识(search space ID);
第一搜索空间对应的控制资源集的标识(CORESET ID);
第一搜索空间是多个搜索空间中标识为第一指定标识的搜索空间;
第一搜索空间是多个控制资源集中标识为第二指定标识的控制资源集对应的搜索空间。
可以理解的是,网络设备可以直接通过第一搜索空间的search space ID,指示第一搜索空间。网络设备也可以通过第一搜索空间对应的CORESET ID,指示第一搜索空间。若第三指示信息指示的CORESET ID与多个搜索空间对应,则将搜索空间标识最小/最大的那个搜索空间作为第一搜索空间。
网络设备还可以通过第三指示信息指示第一搜索空间为多个搜索空间中指定的搜索空间,或者控制资源集中指定的控制资源集对应的搜索空间。其中,第三指示信息可以包括多个指示值,不同的指示值可以指示不同的搜索空间;另外,网络设备也可以通过配置第三指示信息或不配置第三指示信息,来指示不同的搜索空间。本申请实施例对指定搜搜空间的配置方式不做限制。
示例性的,用于重复传输第一PDCCH的搜索空间包括搜索空间1和搜索空间2,其中,搜索空间1与CORESET1对应,搜索空间2与CORESET2对应。网络设备配置单个第一TCI状态的情况下,可以通过以下方式确定第一搜索空间:
方式A1、第一搜索空间为搜索空间1和搜索空间2中搜索空间标识(search space ID)最小的搜索空间。如果搜索空间1的ID(为了简洁,下文中使用SS-ID1表征搜索空间1的ID)小于搜索空间1的ID(为了简洁,下文中使用SS-ID2表征搜索空间2的ID),那么第一搜索空间是搜索空间1,如果SS-ID2<SS-ID1,那么第一搜索空间是搜索空间2。
方式A2、第一搜索空间是搜索空间1和搜索空间2中搜索空间标识(search space ID)最大的搜索空间。如果SS-ID1>SS-ID2,那么第一搜索空间是搜索空间1,如果SS-ID2>SS-ID1,那么第一搜索空间是搜索空间2。
方式A3、第一搜索空间是CORESET1和CORESET2中CORESET标识(CORESET ID)最小的CORESET对应的搜索空间。如果CORESET1的标识(为了简洁,下文中使用C-ID1表征CORESET1的标识)小于CORESET2的标识(为了简洁,下文中使用C-ID2表征CORESET2的标识),那么第一搜索空间是CORESET1对应的搜索空间1;如果C-ID2<C-ID1,那么第一搜索空间是CORESET2对应的搜索空间2。
方式A4、第一搜索空间是CORESET1和第二CORESET2中CORESET标识(CORESET ID)最大的CORESET对应的搜索空间。如果C-ID1>C-ID2,那么第一搜索空间是CORESET1对应的搜索空间1;如果C-ID2>C-ID1,那么第一搜索空间是CORESET2对应的搜索空间2。
方式A5、第一搜索空间根据网络设备发送的第三指示信息确定。
可选地,第三指示信息取值为a1(例如0或1)时,终端设备根据方式A1确定第一搜索空间,第三指示信息取值为a2(例如1或0)时,终端设备根据方式A2确定第一搜索空间。
可选地,网络设备配置或指示第三指示信息时,终端设备根据方式A1确定第一搜索空间,网络设备没有配置或指示第三指示信息时,终端设备根据方式A2确定第一搜索空间。或者,反过来,网络设备配置或指示第三指示信息时,终端设备根据方式A2确定第一搜索空间,网络设备没有配置或指示第三指示信息时,终端设备根据方式A1确定第一搜索空间。与第三指示信息直接指示a1和a2的方式相比,通过配置或不配置第三指示信息来指示不同的第一搜索空间可以降低信令开销。
可选地,第三指示信息取值为a3(例如0或1)时,终端设备根据方式A3确定第一搜索空间,第三指示信息取值为a4(例如1或0)时,终端设备根据方式A4确定第一搜索空间。
可选地,网络设备配置或指示第三指示信息时,终端设备根据方式A3确定第一搜索空间,网络设备没有配置或指示第三指示信息时,终端设备根据方式A4确定第一搜索空间。或者,反过来,网络设备配置或指示第三指示信息时,终端设备根据方式A4确定第一搜索空间,网络设备没有配置或指示第三指示信息时,终端设备根据方式A3确定第一搜索空间。与直接指示a3和a4的方式相比,通过配置或不配置第三指示信息来指示不同的第一搜索空间可以降低信令开销。
可选地,第三指示信息取值为a5(例如0或1)时,终端设备根据方式A1确定第一搜索空间,第三指示信息取值为a6(例如1或0)时,终端设备根据方式A3确定第一搜索空间。
可选地,网络设备配置或指示第三指示信息时,终端设备根据方式A1确定第一搜索空间,网络设备没有配置或指示第三指示信息时,终端设备根据方式A3确定第一搜索空间。或者,反过来,网络设备配置或指示第三指示信息时,终端设备根据方式A3确定第一搜索空间,网络设备没有配置或指示第三指示信息时,终端设备根据方式A1确定第一搜索空间。与直接指示a5和a6的方式相比,通过配置或不配置第三指示信息来指示不同的第一搜索空间可以降低信令开销。
可选地,第三指示信息取值为a7(例如0或1)时,终端设备根据方式A2确定第一搜索空间,第三指示信息指示取值为a8(例如1或0)时,终端设备根据方式A4确定第一搜索空间。
可选地,网络设备配置或指示第三指示信息时,终端设备根据方式A2确定第一搜索空间,网络设备没有配置或指示第三指示信息时,终端设备根据方式A4确定第一搜索空间。或者,反过来,网络设备配置或指示第三指示信息时,终端设备根据方式A4确定第一搜索空间,网络设备没有配置或指示第三指示信息时,终端设备根据方式A2确定第一搜索空间。与直接指示a7和a8的方式相比,通过配置或不配置第三指示信息来指示不同的第一搜索空间可以降低信令开销。
在一些实施例中,参考图7所示,在至少一个第一TCI状态的数量包括一个的情况下,步骤320中终端设备基于至少一个第一TCI状态,接收第一PDCCH,还可以通过以下方式实现:
步骤3202、终端设备通过多个搜索空间分别对应的候选PDCCH接收第一PDCCH,其中,多个搜索空间中每个搜索空间对应的候选PDCCH的QCL信息,通过第一TCI状态确定。
应理解,即使网络设备仅指示单个第一TCI状态,仍然支持PDCCH的重复传输。即,终端设备可以在多个搜索空间分别接收/检测每个搜索空间对应的候选PDCCH。并且,终端设备根据该单个第一TCI状态,确定多个搜索空间中的候选PDCCH/PDCCH DMRS的QCL信息。如此,提高PDCCH传输的可靠性。
可选地,终端设备采用步骤3201的方式进行第一PDCCH接收/检测,还是采用步骤3202的方式进行第一PDCCH接收/检测,可以是预定义也可以是网络设备配置的。
在一些实施例中,至少一个第一TCI状态的数量包括一个,还可以包括以下步骤:
终端设备接收网络设备发送的第四指示信息,第四指示信息用于终端设备通过第一搜索空间对应的候选PDCCH接收第一PDCCH,或者,终端设备通过多个搜索空间分别对应的候选PDCCH接收所述第一PDCCH,第一搜索空间为多个搜索空间中的任意一个。
应理解,通过第四指示信息确定是否采用PDCCH重复传输,与上述步骤3201和步骤3202中采用预定义规则确定是否采用PDCCH的方式相比,可以提高系统灵活性,为网络优化配置和传输提供更大自由度。
可选地,第四指示信息通过RRC信令,或者MAC CE信令携带,通过RRC信令携带可以提高传输可靠性,通过MAC CE信令携带可以提高灵活性。需要说明的是,第四指示信息可以与上述第一指示信息、第二指示信息、以及第三指示信息中的至少一个为同一信息,第四指示信息也可以是与上述三种信息不同的信息,本申请实施例对此不做限制。
可选地,若第四指示信息通过RRC信令传输,则第四指示信息可以是针对终端设备配置的、或者针对服务小区配置的,或者针对服务小区组(Serving cell group)配置的,或者针对BWP配置,或者针对CORESET配置,或者针对搜索空间配置,或者针对相互关联的一组搜索空间配置的(这里的一组搜索空间可以包括上文中用于PDCCH重复传输的多个搜索空间),本申请实施例对此不做限制。
可选地,若第四指示信息通过MAC CE信令传输,则第四指示信息可以针对一个服务小区列表(a list of serving cell,这个列表可以由网络设备配置)配置,针对服务小区配置,针对BWP配置,针对CORESET配置,针对搜索空间配置的,或者针对相互关联的一组搜索空间配置。需要说明的是,由于传输第四指示信息的信令不同,配置的对象也或有所不同。
可选地,在第四指示信息的取值为第一值的情况下,终端设备通过第一搜索空间对应的候选PDCCH接收第一PDCCH,在第四指示信息的取值为第二值的情况下,终端设备通过多个搜索空间分别对应的候选PDCCH接收第一PDCCH。
可选地,在网络设备配置第四指示信息的情况下,终端设备通过第一搜索空间对应的候选PDCCH接收第一PDCCH,且在网络设备没有配置第四指示信息的情况下,终端设备通过多个搜索空间分别对应的候选PDCCH接收所述第一PDCCH;
或者,
在网络设备没有配置第四指示信息的情况下,终端设备通过第一搜索空间对应的候选PDCCH接收第一PDCCH,且在网络设备配置第四指示信息的情况下,终端设备通过多个搜索空间分别对应的候选PDCCH接收第一PDCCH。
需要说明的是,第一搜索空间的确定方式与上述实施例中的确定方式相同,为了简洁,此处不再赘述。
在一些实施例中,参考图8所示,在至少一个第一TCI状态的数量包括多个(即K1>1)的情况下,步骤3202中终端设备基于至少一个第一TCI状态,接收第一PDCCH,可以通过以下方式实现:
步骤3203、终端设备通过多个候选PDCCH接收第一PDCCH,多个候选PDCCH的QCL信息通过多个第一TCI状态确定。
应理解,在配置了多个第一TCI状态的情况下,终端设备可以接收/检测多个搜索空间中的候选PDCCH,并且终端设备可以根据网络配置的多个第一TCI状态,确定多个候选PDCCH/PDCCH DMRS的QCL信息。
本申请实施例中,终端设备可以根据多个候选PDCCH和多个第一TCI状态之间的对应关系,确定每个候选PDCCH/PDCCH DMRS的QCL信息。
可选地,多个候选PDCCH和网络设备配置的多个第一TCI状态之间的对应关系可以通过以下任意一项确定:
终端设备根据多个搜索空间的标识的大小顺序,与多个第一TCI状态的标识的大小顺序,确定多个搜索空间中每个搜索空间的候选PDCCH对应的第一TCI状态;

终端设备根据网络设备发送的多个第六指示信息,多个第六指示信息与多个候选PDCCH关联,分别确定多个候选PDCCH对应的第一TCI状态。
应理解,终端设备可根据预定义规则确定每个候选PDCCH与网络配置的多个第一TCI状态之间的对应关系。
可选地,终端设备可以根据多个搜索空间的标识的大小顺序,与多个第一TCI状态的标识的大小顺序,确定多个搜索空间中每个搜索空间的候选PDCCH对应的第一TCI状态。示例性的,search space ID最小的搜索空间与标识最小的第一TCI状态对应,search space ID第二小的搜索空间与标识第二小的第一TCI状态对应,以此类推,search space ID最大的搜索空间与标识最大的第一TCI状态对应。或者,search space ID最大的搜索空间与标识最小的第一TCI状态对应,search space ID第二大的搜索空间与标识第二小的第一TCI状态对应,以此类推,search space ID最大的搜索空间与标识最小的第一TCI状态对应。
可选地,终端设备可以根据多个搜索空间的标识的大小顺序,与多个第一TCI状态在第二指示信息中的位置,确定多个搜索空间中每个搜索空间的候选PDCCH对应的第一TCI状态。应理解,第二指示信息可以通过第一MAC CE信令传输,参考图4或图5所示的第一MAC CE的结构组成示意图,不同的TCI状态在第一MAC CE信令中的位置不同。终端设备可以根据网络设备配置的第一TCI状态在第二指示信息和第一MAC CE信令中的位置,确定该第一TCI状态对应的搜索空间。
示例性的,search space ID最小搜索空间与第二指示信息中位置最靠前的第一TCI状态对应,search space ID第二小的搜索空间与第二指示信息中位置排列在第二的第一TCI状态对应,以此类推,search space ID最大的搜索空间与第二指示信息中位置排列在最后的第一TCI状态对应。或者,search space ID最大搜索空间与第二指示信息中位置最靠前的第一TCI状态对应,search space ID第二大的搜索空间与第二指示信息中位置排列在第二的第一TCI状态对应,以此类推,search space ID最小的搜索空间与第二指示信息中位置排列在最后的第一TCI状态对应。
可选地,终端设备可以根据多个控制资源集的标识的大小顺序,与多个第一TCI状态的标识的大小顺序,确定多个控制资源集中每个控制资源集的候选PDCCH对应的第一TCI状态。示例性的,CORESET ID最小的控制资源集对应搜索空间与标识最小的第一TCI状态对应,CORESET ID第二小的控制资源集对应的搜索空间与标识第二小的第一TCI状态对应,以此类推,CORESET ID最大的控制资源集对应的搜索空间与标识最大的第一TCI状态对应。或者,CORESET ID最大的控制资源集对应的搜索空间与标识最小的第一TCI状态对应,CORESET ID第二大的控制资源集对应的搜索空间与标识第二小的第一TCI状态对应,以此类推,CORESET ID最小的控制资源集对应的搜索空间与标识最大的第一TCI状态对应。

可选地,指定位置可以是在第二指示信息中最前的位置,也可以是在第二指示信息最后的位置,本申请实施例对此不做限制。也就是说,第六指示信息可以指示当前候选PDCCH对应的第一TCI状态为第二指示信息中位置最前的第一TCI状态,第六指示信息也可以指示当前候选PDCCH对应的第一TCI状态为第二指示信息中位置最后的第一TCI状态。
可选地,TCI状态集合的数量包括多个。多个TCI状态集合可以是网络设备配置的,也可以是根据预定义规则确定的,本申请实施例对此不做限制。
可选地,网络设备可以把第一TCI状态组中的TCI状态划分为多个TCI状态集合。具体地,网络设备可以每个TCI状态的配置信息中包含集合指示信息,该集合指示信息用于指示每个TCI状态所属的TCI状态集合。可以理解的是,网络设备可以通过第六指示信息指示当前的候选PDCCH对应的第一TCI状态,是多个第一TCI状态中属于指示的TCI状态集合中的第一TCI状态。
可选地,第六指示信息可以包括多个指示值,不同的指示值可以指示与该第六指示信息关联的候选PDCCH对应的不同的第一TCI状态,另外,网络设备也可以通过为候选PDCCH配置第六指示信息或不配置第六指示信息,来指示与该第六指示信息关联的候选PDCCH对应的不同的第一TCI状态。

在本申请一实施例中,参考图9所示,所述方法还包括:
步骤300、终端设备向网络设备发送第一能力信息和/或第二能力信息;
第一能力信息用于指示终端设备支持多个统一TCI状态同时用于下行传输(或下行操作/下行接收),和/或,终端设备支持DCI中的一个码本指示多个用于下行传输的统一TCI状态;第二能力信息用于指示终端设备支持PDCCH的重复传输,和/或,终端设备支持多个搜索空间关联。
应理解,第一能力信息可以指示终端设备支持Z个(Z>1)统一TCI状态同时用于下行传输或者下行接收,或者终端设备支持DCI中“Transmission configuration indication”信息域的一个码本最多可以激活或者指示Z个统一TCI状态用于下行传输或者下行接收。
可选地,Z可以为2,也可以为4,还可以为其他数值,本申请实施例对此不做限制。
另外,第二能力信息可以指示终端设备PDCCH的重复传输,和/或,终端设备支持多个(2个或2个以上)搜索空间关联。
可选地,终端设备可以在步骤310之前向网络设备发送第一能力信息和/或第二能力信息,这样,网络设备可以根据终端设备上报的第一能力信息和/或第二能力信息为终端设备的多TRP/panel/beam的PDCCH重复传输配置统一TCI状态。
可选地,第一能力信息和/或第二能力信息是针对以下任一对象的能力:
终端设备、载波、频段、频段组合、频段组合以及该频段组合中的频段、频段组合以及该频段组合中每个频段的载波、频段范围。
可选地,第一能力信息和/或第二能力信息可以针对频段(band)上报,也就是说,不同的频段可以独立上报对应的第一能力信息和/或第二能力信息。例如,终端设备可以在某个或者某些频段上支持第一能力信息和/或第二能力信息,其他频段上不支持第一能力信息和/或第二能力信息,通过不同的频段独立上报,可以使终端设备实现具有更大的自由度,同时让更多的终端设备支持多TRP/panel/beam的PDCCH重复传输场景中的统一TCI状态配置。
可选地,第一能力信息和/或第二能力信息可以按照频段组合(band combination)独立上报的。例如,终端设备可以在某个频段组合下不上报第一能力信息和/或第二能力信息,但是在另一个频段组合下上报第一能力信息和/或第二能力信息。应理解,不同的频段组合独立上报,可以让终端实现具有更大的自由度,同时让更多的终端设备支持多TRP/panel/beam的PDCCH重复传输场景中的统一TCI状态配置。
可选的,第一能力信息和/或第二能力信息可以按照频段组合(band combination)中的每个频段独立上报的(per band per band combination),也就是说,不同的频段组合中的频段可以独立上报。例如,终端设备可以在某个CA下不支持第一能力信息和/或第二能力信息,但是在另一个CA组合下某些band上报第一能力信息和/或第二能力信息。应理解,不同的频段组合独立上报,可以让终端实现具有更大的自由度,同时让更多的终端设备支持多TRP/panel/beam的PDCCH重复传输场景中的统一TCI状态配置。
可选地,第一能力信息和/或第二能力信息可以按照频段组合(band combination)中的每个频段上每个载波独立上报的,也就是说,不同的频段组合中的频段中的不同载波CC(per CC per band per band combination,或者FSPC)可以独立上报。应理解,不同的频段组合独立上报,并且一个band上的不同载波也可以独立上报,可以让终端设备实现具有更大的自由度,同时让更多的终端设备支持多TRP/panel/beam的PDCCH重复传输场景中的统一TCI状态配置。
可选的,第一能力信息和/或第二能力信息可以按照频段范围(Frequency range)上报的,也就是说,不同的FR(例如低频FR1和高频FR2)可以独立上报。应理解,不同的FR独立上报,可以让终端实现具有更大的自由度,同时让更多的终端设备支持多TRP/panel/beam的PDCCH重复传输场景中的统一TCI状态配置。
可选的,第一能力信息和/或第二能力信息可以针对终端设备上报的,也就是说,若UE上报第一能力信息和/或第二能力信息,则表征该终端设备在各个频段上都可以支持这个第一能力信息和/或第二能力信息,可以降低终端能力上报的信令开销。
可选地,第一能力信息和第二能力信息可以对应不同的对象进行上报,例如一个是针对band,一个是针对per CC per band per band combination。由于上下行对终端设备的能力要求不同,上下行能力使用不同的选项,可以更有利于终端设备实现。
可选地,第一能力信息和/或第二能力信息可以通过RRC信令,或者MAC CE信令传输。其中,第一能力信息和第二能力信息可以为同一个能力信息,通过一个信令传输,也可以为不同的信息,通过不同的信令传输,本申请实施例对此不做限制。
