Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of communications, specifically to a wireless communication method, terminal device, and network device. Background Technology
[0002] Quasi-co-location (QCL) refers to a method in which the large-scale parameters of the channel experienced by a symbol at one antenna port can be inferred from the channel experienced by a symbol at another antenna port. These large-scale parameters can include delay spread, average delay, Doppler spread, Doppler shift, average gain, and spatial reception parameters.
[0003] In New Radio (NR) systems, satellite communication is considered as a means of providing communication services to users. Satellites use multiple beams to cover the ground, a scenario known as New Radio Non-Terrestrial Networks (NR-NTN). In the NR-NTN scenario, the satellite beamout can be configured as follows: one Synchronization Signal Block (SSB) corresponds to one ground cell, or the beamwidth of the SSB transmission is the same as the beamwidth of the data transmission; or one SSB corresponds to multiple ground cells, or the beamwidth of the SSB transmission is different from the beamwidth of the data transmission.
[0004] In NR-NTN scenarios, satellites employ various antenna polarization modes, and adjacent cells may use different polarization modes to reduce inter-cell interference. Matching the antenna polarization modes of the satellite and the terminal device improves reception performance; conversely, mismatched polarization modes degrade reception or even prevent signal reception. Therefore, both downlink and uplink transmissions in NR-NTN scenarios require notification of the antenna polarization mode. Consequently, determining the QCL relationship and antenna polarization mode to improve system performance in NR-NTN scenarios is a critical issue that needs to be addressed. Summary of the Invention

[0052] It should be understood that the terms "system" and "network" are often used interchangeably in this document. The term "and / or" in this document merely describes the relationship between related objects, indicating that three relationships can exist. For example, A and / or B can represent: A alone, A and B simultaneously, or B alone. Furthermore, the character " / " in this document generally indicates that the preceding and following related objects have an "or" relationship.
[0053] It should be understood that the term "instruction" mentioned in the embodiments of this application can be a direct instruction, an indirect instruction, or an indication of a relationship. For example, A instructing B can mean that A directly instructs B, such as B being able to obtain information through A; it can also mean that A indirectly instructs B, such as A instructing C, so B can obtain information through C; or it can mean that there is a relationship between A and B.
[0054] In the description of the embodiments of this application, the term "correspondence" may indicate that there is a direct or indirect correspondence between two things, or that there is an association between two things, or that there is a relationship of instruction and being instructed, configuration and being configured, etc.

[0058] In some embodiments of this application, the term "protocol" may refer to standard protocols in the field of communications, such as LTE protocols, NR protocols, and related protocols applied in future communication systems. This application does not limit the scope of the term.
[0059] Quasi-co-location (QCL) refers to a method in which the large-scale parameters of the channel experienced by a symbol at one antenna port can be inferred from the channel experienced by a symbol at another antenna port. These large-scale parameters can include delay spread, average delay, Doppler spread, Doppler shift, average gain, and spatial reception parameters.
[0060] In NR systems, considering the possible QCL relationships between various reference signals, the above-mentioned large-scale channel parameters can be divided into different QCL types, which facilitates the system configuration according to different scenarios where the terminal equipment is located.
[0061] As an example, the definitions of different QCL type configurations are as follows:
[0062] 'QCL-TypeA': {Doppler shift, Doppler spread, average delay, delay spread};
[0063] 'QCL-TypeB': {Doppler shift, Doppler spread};
[0064] 'QCL-TypeC': {Doppler shift, average delay};
[0065] 'QCL-TypeD':{Spatial Rx parameter}.
[0066] Beamforming in NR-NTN scenarios includes the following two cases:
[0067] Case 1: such as Figure 2A As shown. One Synchronization Signal Block (SSB) corresponds to one terrestrial cell, or the beamwidth of the SSB transmission is the same as the beamwidth of the data transmission. One terrestrial cell corresponds to one Baseband Window (BWP) for data transmission. After a terminal device accesses the network through the SSB on the initial bandwidth part (BWP) (i.e., BWP#0), the network device will configure the BWP corresponding to the SSB at the time of the terminal device's access for data transmission. Furthermore, as... Figure 2AAs shown, Channel State Information Reference Signal (CSI-RS) can also be transmitted in downlink (DL) BWP#1 to DL BWP#3. The beamwidth and beam direction of the CSI-RS transmission are consistent with those of the data transmission. As an example, the beamwidth and beam direction of the CSI-RS on DL BWP#2 of cell #1 are the same as those of SSB#1 of cell #1. In some cases, the large-scale parameters of the channel experienced by SSB#1 of cell #1, such as Doppler shift, Doppler spread, average delay, and delay spread, can be considered as the QCL reference of the CSI-RS on DL BWP#2 of cell #1. In other words, SSB#1 is the QCL reference signal of the CSI-RS on DL BWP#2, and its QCL type is 'QCL-Type A'.
[0068] Case 2: Figure 2B As shown. One SSB corresponds to multiple terrestrial cells, or the beamwidth of the SSB transmission is inconsistent with the beamwidth of the data transmission, or the beamwidth of the SSB transmission is greater than the beamwidth of the data transmission. One terrestrial cell corresponds to one BWP used for data transmission. After the terminal device accesses the network through the SSB on the initial BWP (i.e., BWP#0), the network device will configure the terminal device with the BWP corresponding to the SSB at the time of access for data transmission. In addition, as Figure 2B As shown, CSI-RS can also be transmitted in DL BWP#1 to DL BWP#3. The beamwidth and beam direction of the CSI-RS transmission are consistent with the beamwidth and beam direction of the data transmission. As an example, the beam of SSB#1 of cell #1 includes the beams of CSI-RS on DL BWP#1, DL BWP#2, and DL BWP#3 of cell #1. In some cases, this scenario can also be called an umbrella beam scenario. In some cases, the large-scale parameters such as the Doppler frequency shift and Doppler spread of the channel experienced by SSB#1 of cell #1 can be considered as the QCL reference for CSI-RS on DL BWP#1, DL BWP#2, or DL BWP#3 of cell #1. In other words, SSB#1 is the QCL reference signal for CSI-RS on DL BWP#1, DL BWP#2, or DL BWP#3, and its QCL type is 'QCL-Type B'.
[0069] In the NR-NTN scenario, the satellite's antenna polarization mode includes at least one of right-hand circular polarization (RHCP), left-hand circular polarization (LHCP), and linear polarization (LP). The terminal equipment's antenna polarization mode also includes at least one of right-hand circular polarization, left-hand circular polarization, and linear polarization.
[0070] In NR-NTN scenarios, neighboring cells may use different polarization modes to mitigate inter-cell interference. Matching the antenna polarization modes of the satellite and terminal equipment improves reception performance; conversely, mismatched polarization modes degrade reception or even prevent signal reception. Furthermore, in these scenarios, using existing QCL (Quality Channel Relationship) determination methods in related technologies leads to inefficient resource allocation. Therefore, determining the QCL relationship and antenna polarization mode to improve system performance in NR-NTN scenarios is a critical issue that needs to be addressed.
[0071] To facilitate understanding of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application, the technical solutions of this application are described in detail below through specific embodiments. The above-mentioned related technologies are optional solutions and can be arbitrarily combined with the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application, all of which fall within the protection scope of the embodiments of this application. The embodiments of this application include at least some of the following contents.
[0072] Figure 3 This is a schematic interactive diagram of a wireless communication method 200 according to an embodiment of this application, such as... Figure 3 As shown, method 200 includes the following:
[0073] S201, the terminal device determines that the antenna polarization mode corresponding to the first physical channel or first reference signal transmission on the first bandwidth portion BWP is the first antenna polarization mode, and / or,
[0074] The terminal device determines that the quasi-co-addressable QCL reference signal corresponding to the first reference signal on the first BWP is the second reference signal on the second BWP.
[0075] In some embodiments of this application, the first BWP may include a first uplink BWP and / or a first downlink BWP.
[0076] In some cases, referred to as Case 1, the first BWP is a BWP on a first cell, the first cell corresponds to multiple BWPs, and the antenna polarization mode corresponding to the physical channel or reference signal transmission on the multiple BWPs is the first antenna polarization mode.
[0077] In other words, physical channel transmissions or reference signal transmissions within the same cell use the same antenna polarization pattern. Or, the antenna polarization pattern is cell-level.
[0078] In other cases, referred to as Case 2, the first BWP is a BWP on a first cell, and the first cell corresponds to multiple BWPs. The method for determining the antenna polarization mode corresponding to the physical channel or reference signal transmission on other BWPs among the multiple BWPs is the same as the method for determining the antenna polarization mode corresponding to the first physical channel or first reference signal transmission on the first BWP.
[0079] It should be understood that physical channel transmission or reference signal transmission on different BWPs within the same cell can use the same antenna polarization mode, or they can use different antenna polarization modes. In other words, the antenna polarization mode is at the BWP granularity.
[0080] The following explanation uses the determination of the antenna polarization mode corresponding to the physical channel or reference signal transmission on the first BWP as an example. In case 1, the determined antenna polarization mode is the antenna polarization mode corresponding to the physical channel or reference signal transmission on the first cell corresponding to the first BWP. In case 2, the terminal device can also determine the antenna polarization mode corresponding to the physical channel or reference signal transmission on other BWPs on the first cell in the same way as the method of determining the antenna polarization mode corresponding to the physical channel or reference signal transmission on the first BWP. For the sake of simplicity, this will not be elaborated here.
[0081] In some embodiments, the first BWP is an active BWP on the first cell. If there are multiple active BWPs on the first cell, the first BWP can be any BWP among the multiple active BWPs.
[0082] In some embodiments, the first BWP includes a first downlink BWP, and the second BWP includes a second downlink BWP.
[0083] That is, the second reference signal on the second downlink BWP can be used as the QCL reference signal of the first reference signal on the first downlink BWP.
[0084] In other embodiments, the first BWP includes a first uplink BWP, and the second BWP includes a second uplink BWP.
[0085] That is, the second reference signal on the second uplink BWP can be used as the QCL reference signal of the first reference signal on the first uplink BWP.
[0086] In some other embodiments, the first BWP includes a first uplink BWP, and the second BWP includes a second downlink BWP.
[0087] That is, the second reference signal on the second downlink BWP can be used as the QCL reference signal of the first reference signal on the first uplink BWP. It should be understood that the QCL reference signal corresponding to the first reference signal on the first uplink BWP is the second reference signal on the second downlink BWP, and can be a large-scale parameter or antenna polarization mode of the second reference signal used as the QCL reference for the first reference signal. In some cases, this QCL reference is determined based on the transmit / receive correspondence.
[0088] In some embodiments of this application, the second BWP may be the initial BWP.
[0089] In some embodiments, the first BWP is a non-initial BWP.
[0090] For example, the reference signal on the initial BWP can be used as the QCL reference signal for the reference signal on a non-initial BWP.
[0091] For example, the terminal device can determine the antenna polarization mode corresponding to the physical channel or reference signal transmission on a non-initial BWP based on the antenna polarization mode corresponding to the physical channel or reference signal transmission on the initial BWP.
[0092] In some embodiments, the second BWP includes a second downlink BWP, which is the initial downlink BWP.
[0093] For example, the reference signal on the initial downlink BWP can be used as the QCL reference signal for the reference signal on a non-initial downlink BWP.
[0094] For example, the terminal device can determine the antenna polarization mode corresponding to the physical channel or reference signal transmission on a non-initial downlink BWP based on the antenna polarization mode corresponding to the physical channel or reference signal transmission on the initial downlink BWP. In other embodiments, the second BWP includes a second uplink BWP, which is the initial uplink BWP.
[0095] For example, the reference signal on the initial uplink BWP can be used as the QCL reference signal for the reference signal on a non-initial uplink BWP.
[0096] For example, the terminal device can determine the antenna polarization mode corresponding to the physical channel or reference signal transmission on a non-initial uplink BWP based on the antenna polarization mode corresponding to the physical channel or reference signal transmission on the initial uplink BWP.
[0097] In some embodiments, the second BWP includes one BWP, and the first BWP includes multiple BWPs.
[0098] For example, multiple reference signals on the second BWP can serve as QCL reference signals for reference signals on multiple BWPs included in the first BWP. Specifically, each of the multiple reference signals on the second BWP corresponds one-to-one with the multiple BWPs included in the first BWP.
[0099] For example, the terminal device can determine the antenna polarization modes corresponding to the physical channels or reference signals transmitted on the multiple physical channels or reference signals transmitted on the second BWP based on the antenna polarization modes transmitted on those channels or reference signals. The multiple physical channels or reference signals on the second BWP correspond one-to-one with the multiple BWPs included in the first BWP.
[0100] In other embodiments of this application, the first BWP and the second BWP are the same BWP, that is, all reference signals on the same BWP can be considered to have a QCL relationship.
[0101] In some embodiments, all reference signals on the first BWP can be considered to have a QCL relationship.
[0102] In some embodiments of this application, the first BWP includes a first downlink BWP, and the first reference signal includes at least one of the following:
[0103] Tracking Reference Signals (TRS), Channel State Information Reference Signal (CSI-RS), Demodulation Reference Signal (DMRS) for Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH), and DMRS for Physical Downlink Shared Channel (PDSCH).
[0104] In some embodiments, the first reference signal includes DMRS for PDCCH and DMRS for PDSCH on the first downlink BWP.
[0105] In some embodiments, the CSI-RS includes a CSI-RS for beam management (BM) and / or a CSI-RS for channel state information (CSI).
[0106] In some embodiments of this application, the first BWP includes a first downlink BWP, and the first physical channel includes at least one of the following: PDCCH and PDSCH.
[0107] In some embodiments, the first physical channel includes the PDCCH and PDSCH on the first downlink BWP.

[0115] In some embodiments of this application, the second BWP includes a second uplink BWP, and the second reference signal includes an SRS.
[0116] It should be understood that the specific implementations of the first reference signal, the second reference signal, and the first physical channel exemplified above are merely examples. Other signals or channels may also be included in other embodiments, and this application is not limited thereto.
[0117] The antenna polarization mode in the embodiments of this application may include an uplink antenna polarization mode and / or a downlink antenna polarization mode.
[0118] For example, the first downlink antenna polarization mode and / or the first uplink antenna polarization mode, wherein the first downlink antenna polarization mode and the first uplink antenna polarization mode may be the same or different.
[0119] It should be understood that in some embodiments, the antenna polarization mode can also be replaced by the antenna polarization direction, which may include the uplink antenna polarization direction and / or the downlink antenna polarization direction.
[0120] In some embodiments, the downlink antenna polarization mode includes at least one of RHCP, LHCP, and LP.
[0121] Optionally, the downlink antenna polarization mode can refer to the antenna polarization mode of the network device. This network device can be a terrestrial cell network device, or it can be a non-terrestrial cell network device, such as a satellite.
[0122] In some embodiments, the uplink antenna polarization mode includes at least one of RHCP, LHCP, and LP.
[0123] Optionally, the uplink antenna polarization mode is the antenna polarization mode of the terminal device.
[0124] In some embodiments, the uplink antenna polarization mode is reported by the terminal device to the network device. For example, the terminal device reports the uplink antenna polarization modes it supports to the network device. Further, the network device instructs the terminal device on the antenna polarization mode corresponding to the physical signal or physical channel transmission on the uplink BWP.
[0125] In some embodiments of this application, the first antenna polarization mode may be determined based on first configuration information sent by the network device.
[0126] In some embodiments, the first configuration information can be sent via at least one of the following signaling:
[0127] System messages, Radio Resource Control (RRC) signaling, Media Access Control (MAC) control element (CE), and Downlink Control Information (DCI).
[0128] For example, the network device indicates, through first configuration information, that the antenna polarization mode corresponding to the first physical channel or the first reference signal transmission on the first BWP is the first antenna polarization mode.
[0129] In some embodiments of this application, the first configuration information may include QCL type configuration information and / or QCL relationship configuration information.
[0130] In some embodiments, the QCL relationship configuration information is used to determine that the QCL reference signal corresponding to the first reference signal is the second reference signal. In other words, the first reference signal and the second reference signal have a QCL relationship.
[0131] In some embodiments, the QCL type configuration information is used to configure the QCL type corresponding to the QCL relationship between the first reference signal and the second reference signal. That is, the first reference signal can reference the target large-scale parameters and / or antenna polarization mode of the second reference signal.
[0132] In some embodiments, QCL type configuration information may include antenna polarization parameters. That is, in this application embodiment, antenna polarization parameters can be carried through QCL type configuration information.
[0133] In some embodiments, the antenna polarization parameter may include the antenna polarization mode and / or the antenna polarization direction.
[0134] In some embodiments of this application, the QCL type configuration information includes a first QCL type, and the parameters included in the first QCL type are one of the following:
[0135] {Space reception parameters, antenna polarization parameters};
[0136] {Antenna polarization parameters}.
[0137] You can either add a new QCL type for configuring antenna polarization parameters, or add antenna polarization parameters to a QCL type for configuring spatial reception parameters.
[0138] In other embodiments of this application, the QCL type configuration information includes a first QCL type, and the parameters of the first QCL type are one of the following:
[0139] {Doppler frequency shift, Doppler spread, average time delay, time delay spread, antenna polarization parameters};
[0140] {Doppler frequency shift, Doppler spread, antenna polarization parameters};
[0141] {Doppler frequency shift, average time delay, antenna polarization parameters}.
[0142] In this case, it can be assumed that the parameters included in the QCL type include not only large-scale parameters but also antenna polarization parameters.
[0143] In some embodiments of this application, the terminal device can determine the QCL reference signal corresponding to the first reference signal as the second reference signal based on the QCL relationship configuration information. If the antenna polarization mode corresponding to the transmission of the second reference signal is the first antenna polarization mode, and the QCL type configuration information includes antenna polarization parameters, then the terminal device can determine the antenna polarization mode corresponding to the transmission of the first reference signal as the first antenna polarization mode based on the QCL type configuration information.
[0144] In some embodiments of this application, the antenna polarization mode corresponding to the second reference signal transmission can be predefined or indicated by the network device, for example, indicated by at least one of system messages, RRC signaling, MAC CE and DCI, or determined according to preset rules. This application does not limit this.
[0145] As an example 1, the first QCL type can be one of the following:
[0146] 'QCL-eTypeA':{Doppler shift, Doppler spread, average delay, delay spread, antenna polarization mode};
[0147] 'QCL-eTypeB': {Doppler shift, Doppler spread, antenna polarization mode};
[0148] 'QCL-eTypeC': {Doppler shift, average delay, antenna polarization mode};
[0149] 'QCL-eTypeD': {Spatial Rx parameter, antenna polarization mode}.
[0150] This means that an antenna polarization mode can be added to the parameters corresponding to the existing QCL type to obtain an enhanced QCL type.
[0151] As an example 2, the first QCL type can be one of the following:
[0152] 'QCL-TypeA': {Doppler shift, Doppler spread, average delay, delay spread};
[0153] 'QCL-TypeB': {Doppler shift, Doppler spread};
[0154] 'QCL-TypeC': {Doppler shift, average delay};
[0155] 'QCL-eTypeD': {Spatial Rx parameter, antenna polarization mode}.
[0156] That is, an antenna polarization mode can be added to the parameters corresponding to the existing QCL type D to obtain an enhanced QCL type D.
[0157] As an example 3, the first QCL type can be one of the following:
[0158] 'QCL-TypeA': {Doppler shift, Doppler spread, average delay, delay spread};
[0159] 'QCL-TypeB': {Doppler shift, Doppler spread};
[0160] 'QCL-TypeC': {Doppler shift, average delay};
[0161] 'QCL-TypeD':{Spatial Rx parameter}.
[0162] 'QCL-TypeE':{Antenna polarization mode}.
[0163] This means adding a new QCL type E, which is used to indicate that the antenna polarization modes of the two antenna ports are the same.
[0164] In some embodiments of this application, the first BWP is a first downlink BWP, and the first configuration information can be a Transmission Configuration Indicator (TCI) indication information. The TCI indication information is used to indicate multiple downlink reference signals, representing multiple types of reference sources corresponding to the first reference signal on the first downlink BWP.
[0165] As an example, the plurality of downlink reference signals includes up to three downlink reference signals.
[0166] In some embodiments, the network device can configure M TCI states via RRC signaling, where M is a positive integer, and each TCI state corresponds to a QCL reference signal. Further, the MAC CE selects up to 8 TCI states from these M TCI states to correspond with 3 bits of TCI indication information in the DCI, wherein if the value of M is less than or equal to 8, then the M TCI states correspond to the TCI indication information in the DCI. The DCI selects one TCI state from the TCI states corresponding to the TCI indication information in the DCI and uses it as the QCL reference signal for the first reference signal.
[0167] Taking Example 3 above as an example, the specific content of the TCI indication information is explained.
[0168] For example, the TCI indication information is used to indicate at least one of the following:
[0169] TCI Status ID is used to identify a TCI status;
[0170] QCL Information 1;
[0171] QCL Information 2;
[0172] QCL information 3.
[0173] One QCL message contains the following information:
[0174] The QCL type configuration can be one of QCL type A, QCL type B, QCL type C, QCL type D, or QCL type E;
[0175] QCL reference signal configuration includes the cell ID where the reference signal is located, the BWP ID, and the identifier of the reference signal (e.g., CSI-RS resource ID or SSB index).
[0176] Among them, at least one of QCL information 1, QCL information 2 and QCL information 3 has a QCL type of one of QCLTypeA, QCL TypeB and QCL TypeC, one of the other two QCL information (if configured) has a QCL type of QCL type D, and the other of the other two QCL information (if configured) has a QCL type of QCL type E.
[0177] As an example, for frequency bands below 6 GHz, the available QCL reference signal for PDSCH DMRS can include one of the cases shown in Table 1:
[0178] Table 1
[0179] QCL reference signal configuration 1 QCL type configuration 1 QCL reference signal configuration 2 QCL type configuration 2 TRS QCL type A TRS QCL type E TRS QCL type A CSI-RS for BM QCL type E CSI-RS for CSI QCL type A CSI-RS for CSI QCL type E SSB QCL type A SSB QCL type E
[0180] As another example, for frequency bands above 6 GHz, the available QCL reference signal for PDSCH DMRS can include one of the cases shown in Table 2:
[0181] Table 2
[0182]
[0183] In some embodiments, if the QCL type configuration information does not include antenna polarization parameters, the antenna polarization mode corresponding to the first physical channel or the first reference signal on the first BWP can be determined in the following manner.
[0184] In other embodiments of this application, the first antenna polarization mode is determined based on a first association relationship, wherein the first association relationship is used to characterize the association relationship between the antenna polarization mode and the BWP.
[0185] For example, if in the first association relationship, the first BWP corresponds to the first antenna polarization mode, then the terminal device can determine that the antenna polarization mode corresponding to the first physical channel or the first reference signal transmission on the first BWP is the first antenna polarization mode.
[0186] In some embodiments, the first association may include the association between the downlink antenna polarization mode and the BWP and / or the association between the uplink antenna polarization mode and the BWP.
[0187] In some embodiments, the first association may be predefined, and / or configured by the network device.
[0188] For example, the network device configures the first association through at least one of system messages, RRC signaling, MAC CE, and DCI.
[0189] In some embodiments, the first association may be included in the second configuration information. The second configuration information may be any configuration information sent by the network device to the terminal device, such as BWP configuration information, frequency band configuration information, etc.
[0190] Optionally, the second configuration information can be sent via at least one of system messages, RRC signaling, MAC CE, and DCI.
[0191] In some embodiments of this application, the first antenna polarization mode is determined based on a first QCL relationship and / or a second association relationship, wherein the first QCL relationship is used to characterize the QCL relationship between the BWP identifier ID and the reference signal index, and the second association relationship is used to characterize the association relationship between the antenna polarization mode and the reference signal index.
[0192] In some embodiments, the QCL relationship in the first QCL relationship can be represented as:
[0193] All reference signals on the BWP corresponding to the BWP ID and the SSB indicated by the SSB index corresponding to that BWP ID have a QCL relationship; or,
[0194] The reference signal corresponding to the BWP ID and the SSB indicated by the SSB index corresponding to the BWP ID both have a QCL relationship. Optionally, the reference signal corresponding to the first BWP may refer to the reference signal transmitted on the first BWP, or the reference signal on other BWPs that have a QCL relationship with the reference signal on the first BWP.
[0195] In some embodiments, the first antenna polarization mode is the antenna polarization mode associated with the reference signal corresponding to the first BWP. Optionally, the reference signal corresponding to the first BWP may refer to a reference signal transmitted on the first BWP, or a reference signal on another BWP that has a QCL relationship with the reference signal on the first BWP.
[0196] As an example, in the first QCL relationship, the first BWP corresponds to the second reference signal, and in the second association relationship, the second reference signal corresponds to the first antenna polarization mode. Therefore, the antenna polarization mode of the first reference signal on the first BWP can be determined as the first antenna polarization mode.
[0197] In some embodiments, the reference signal index may include an SSB index and / or a CSI-RS identifier (Identify, ID).
[0198] As an example, the first QCL relationship can be a QCL relationship between the BWP ID and the SSB index.
[0199] As an example, the second association could be an association between the antenna polarization mode and the SSB index.
[0200] In some embodiments, the second association may include an association between the downlink antenna polarization mode and the reference signal index and / or an association between the uplink antenna polarization mode and the reference signal index.
[0201] As an example, the association between downlink antenna polarization mode and SSB index can include:
[0202] {SSB 0, polarization mode 0}, {SSB 1, polarization mode 1}, {SSB 2, polarization mode 2}.
[0203] As an example, the association between uplink antenna polarization mode and SSB index can include:
[0204] {SSB 0, uplink polarization mode 0}, {SSB 1, uplink polarization mode 1}, {SSB 2, uplink polarization mode 2}.
[0205] If the terminal device accesses the network through SSB0, it can use uplink polarization mode 0 corresponding to SSB0 for uplink transmission; or, if the terminal device accesses the network through SSB1, it can use uplink polarization mode 1 corresponding to SSB1 for uplink transmission; or, if the terminal device accesses the network through SSB2, it can use uplink polarization mode 2 corresponding to SSB2 for uplink transmission.
[0206] As another example, network devices can be configured to support circular polarization. If circular polarization is supported, the second association can be predefined. For example, an SSB with an odd SSB index can be associated with RHCP, and an SSB with an even SSB index can be associated with LHCP; or, an SSB with an even SSB index can be associated with RHCP, and an SSB with an odd SSB index can be associated with LHCP. Alternatively, if circular polarization is not supported, the antenna polarization mode associated with the SSB for any SSB index is LP.
[0207] As another example, the terminal device can report to the network device whether it supports circular polarization. If the terminal device supports circular polarization, it performs uplink transmission based on the association between the uplink antenna polarization mode and the SSB index. Alternatively, if it does not support circular polarization, the terminal device determines the uplink antenna polarization mode to be LP.
[0208] In some embodiments of this application, the first QCL relationship is predefined or configured by the network device.
[0209] For example, the network device configures the first QCL relationship through at least one of system messages, RRC signaling, MAC CE, and DCI.
[0210] In some embodiments, the first QCL relationship may be included in the third configuration information. Optionally, the third configuration information may be any configuration information sent by the network device to the terminal device, such as BWP configuration information, frequency band configuration information, etc.
[0211] In some embodiments, the third configuration information may be sent via at least one of system messages, RRC signaling, MAC CE, and DCI.
[0212] In some embodiments of this application, the second association is predefined or configured by the network device.
[0213] For example, network devices send the second association via at least one of system messages, RRC signaling, MAC CE, and DCI.
[0214] In some embodiments, the second association may be included in the fourth configuration information. Optionally, the fourth configuration information may be sent via at least one of system messages, RRC signaling, MAC CE, and DCI.
[0215] In some embodiments, the fourth configuration information may be any configuration information sent by the network device to the terminal device, such as BWP configuration information, frequency band configuration information, etc.
[0216] In some embodiments of this application, the first antenna polarization mode is used for Radio Resource Management (RRM) measurements and / or Radio Link Monitoring (RLM) measurements.
[0217] In some embodiments, the second association is used for RRM measurement and / or RLM measurement.
[0218] For example, the second association relationship may include the association relationship between the antenna polarization mode and the reference signal index of the neighboring cell. By configuring the association relationship between the antenna polarization mode and the reference signal index of the neighboring cell, the terminal device can perform RRM measurement of the neighboring cell based on the association relationship.
[0219] In some embodiments of this application, the QCL relationship between the first reference signal and the second reference signal is determined based on a second QCL relationship, wherein the second QCL relationship is used to characterize the QCL relationship between the BWP ID and the reference signal index.
[0220] In some embodiments, the QCL relationship in the second QCL relationship can be represented as:
[0221] All reference signals on the BWP corresponding to the BWP ID and the SSB indicated by the SSB index corresponding to that BWP ID have a QCL relationship; or,
[0222] The reference signal corresponding to the BWP ID and the SSB indicated by the SSB index corresponding to the BWP ID both have a QCL relationship. Optionally, the reference signal corresponding to the first BWP may refer to the reference signal transmitted on the first BWP, or the reference signal on other BWPs that have a QCL relationship with the reference signal on the first BWP.
[0223] That is, the terminal device can determine, based on the second QCL relationship, that all reference signals on a BWP correspond to the same reference signal; or, determine that all reference signals corresponding to a BWP correspond to the same reference signal.
[0224] In some embodiments of this application, the second QCL relationship is predefined or configured by the network device.
[0225] For example, network devices configure the second QCL relationship via at least one of system messages, RRC signaling, MAC CE, and DCI.
[0226] In some embodiments, the second QCL relationship may be included in the fifth configuration information. Optionally, the fifth configuration information may be any configuration information sent by the network device to the terminal device, such as BWP configuration information, frequency band configuration information, etc.
[0227] Optionally, the fifth configuration information can be sent via at least one of system messages, RRC signaling, MAC CE, and DCI.
[0228] In some embodiments of this application, the second reference signal is used as the QCL reference signal of the first reference signal, which may mean that the large-scale parameters and / or antenna polarization mode of the second reference signal can be used as the QCL reference of the first reference signal.
[0229] In the embodiments of this application, the QCL type corresponding to the QCL relationship between the second reference signal and the first reference signal can be predefined or configured by the network device. For example, the network device can indicate this through at least one of system messages, RRC signaling, MAC CE and DCI.
[0230] The following examples illustrate the QCL type corresponding to the QCL relationship between the second reference signal and the first reference signal.
[0231] As an example of the QCL relationship between the second reference signal and the first reference signal, denoted as QCL relationship 1, the QCL reference signal corresponding to the first reference signal is the second reference signal, including:
[0232] The parameters of the second reference signal are the QCL reference of the first reference signal, and the parameters include one of the following:

[0243] Optionally, the above QCL relationship 2 can be applied to frequency bands below 6 GHz.
[0244] Optionally, the above QCL relationship 2 can be applied to frequency bands above 6 GHz.
[0245] As another example of the QCL relationship between the second reference signal and the first reference signal, denoted as QCL relationship 3, the QCL reference signal corresponding to the first reference signal is the second reference signal, including:
[0246] The parameters of the second reference signal are the QCL reference of the first reference signal, and the parameters include one of the following:

[0251] Optionally, the above QCL relationship 3 can be applied to frequency bands above 6 GHz.
[0252] Optionally, the above QCL relationship 3 can be applied to frequency bands below 6 GHz.
[0253] As another example of the QCL relationship between the second reference signal and the first reference signal, denoted as QCL relationship 4, the QCL reference signal corresponding to the first reference signal is the second reference signal, and the parameters include one of the following:
[0254] Doppler frequency shift, Doppler spread, average delay, delay spread, spatial reception parameters, and antenna polarization parameters; or, corresponding to 'QCL-TypeA'+'QCL-TypeD'+'QCL-TypeE'; or, corresponding to 'QCL-eTypeA'+'QCL-TypeD'; or, corresponding to 'QCL-TypeA'+'QCL-eTypeD';

[0258] Optionally, the above QCL relationship 4 can be applied to frequency bands below 6 GHz.
[0259] Optionally, the above QCL relationship 4 can be applied to frequency bands above 6 GHz.
[0260] It should be understood that in some embodiments of this application, if the antenna polarization modes corresponding to the first reference signal and the second reference signal are different, then the first reference signal and the second reference signal do not have a QCL relationship. The antenna polarization modes corresponding to the first reference signal and the second reference signal may be configured by the network device, or they may be predefined, or determined according to other preset rules.
[0261] In some embodiments, if the antenna polarization modes corresponding to the first reference signal and the second reference signal are different, the terminal device does not expect the network device to configure the two reference signals as reference signals with a QCL relationship.
[0262] The following combination Figure 4 The specific examples shown illustrate the specific implementation of the embodiments of this application.
[0263] In this example, the second reference signal is the SSB on the initial BWP, and the first reference signal includes the TRS on the first BWP, the DMRS for the PDCCH, and the DMRS for the PDSCH.
[0264] like Figure 4As shown, in the first QCL relationship or the second QCL relationship, the reference signals SSB#0 on DL BWP#0 and DL BWP#1 have a QCL relationship, the reference signals SSB#1 on DL BWP#0 and DL BWP#2 on DL BWP#0 have a QCL relationship, and the reference signals SSB#2 on DL BWP#0 and DL BWP#3 on DL BWP#0 have a QCL relationship. The QCL type between these reference signals can be any of those in the aforementioned embodiments; for example, a QCL type of 'QCL-TypeA' + 'QCL-TypeE' is used.
[0265] If the terminal device selects SSB#1 during the initial access process, the network device configures DL BWP#2 for connected state data transmission after the terminal device accesses the network. Accordingly, the terminal device can determine that the reference signal of DL BWP#2 and SSB#1 on DL BWP#0 satisfy the QCL relationship. If the terminal device receives a PDSCH2 reception scheduled by the network device on DL BWP#2, such as... Figure 4 As shown, the terminal device can obtain the Doppler frequency shift, Doppler spread, average delay, delay spread, and antenna polarization mode of the channel from SSB#1 based on the QCL relationship between SSB#1 and PDSCH2. Assuming that the QCL relationship is 'QCL-TypeA'+'QCL-TypeE', the terminal device can adjust the filtering parameters of the DMRS channel estimator of PDSCH2 by obtaining the channel's Doppler frequency shift, Doppler spread, average delay, delay spread, and antenna polarization mode from SSB#1, thereby enabling PDSCH2 reception.
[0266] In summary, the terminal device can determine the antenna polarization mode corresponding to the physical channel or reference signal transmission on a non-initial BWP based on the antenna polarization mode corresponding to the physical channel or reference signal transmission on the initial BWP, or based on the QCL type configuration information or the first association relationship, or based on the second association relationship and the first QCL relationship. This helps to avoid the problem of antenna polarization mode mismatch between the terminal device and the network device affecting the reception performance.
[0267] In addition, the terminal device determines that the reference signals on the initial BWP and the reference signals on the non-initial BWP have a QCL relationship, which helps to avoid the problem of low resource allocation efficiency caused by configuring QCL relationships through network devices.
