The embodiments of the present application do not limit this.

The network device may be a Base Transceiver Station (BTS) in GSM or CDMA, may also be a Node B (NB) in a WCDMA system, may also be an Evolutional Node B (eNB or eNodeB) in an LTE system, may also be a radio controller in a Cloud Radio Access Network (CRAN) scenario, or the network device may be a relay station, an access point, a vehicle-mounted device, a wearable device, and a network device in a future 5G network or a network device in a future evolved PLMN network, etc. The embodiments of the present application do not limit this.

[0055] Figure 1 It is a schematic diagram of an application scenario of the embodiments of the present application. Figure 1 The communication system in may include a terminal device 10 and a network device 20. The network device 20 is used to provide communication services for the terminal device 10 and access the core network. The terminal device 10 accesses the network by searching for synchronization signals, broadcast signals, etc. sent by the network device 20, so as to communicate with the network. Figure 1 The arrows shown in may represent the uplink / downlink transmission through the cellular link between the terminal device 10 and the network device 20.

[0056] For the uplink signal, the power control of the terminal is of great significance in terms of power saving and suppressing inter-cell interference. Therefore, uplink power control is a key part of LTE. The uplink power control within a cell includes controlling the power of the Physical Uplink Shared Channel (PUSCH), the Physical Uplink Control Channel (PUCCH), and the Sounding Reference Signal (SRS) respectively.

[0057] In NR, two uplink transmission modes are introduced: the codebook-based transmission mode and the non-codebook-based transmission mode. For the codebook-based transmission mode, the uplink beam used for transmission is notified to the terminal through the beam indication information in the scheduling information. When the terminal uses different transmission beams, different power control parameters are required. The beam indication information is associated with the uplink power control parameters, and the corresponding power control parameters can be determined through the beam indication information. This association relationship is pre-notified to the terminal through RRC signaling.

[0058] For non-codebook uplink transmission, the network side can configure a corresponding CSI-RS resource for the uplink SRS or PUSCH. The terminal obtains the downlink channel information based on the CSI-RS resource, then obtains the uplink channel information based on the downlink channel information and channel reciprocity, and calculates the precoding matrix of the uplink SRS or PUSCH according to the uplink channel information. The uplink beam used for transmission can also be obtained by the terminal through the uplink-downlink beam correspondence, that is, the terminal can obtain the transmission beam of the uplink signal through the reception beam of the downlink signal, without the beam indication from the network side. At this time, how the terminal determines the corresponding power control parameters for different transmission beams is a problem.

[0059] Figure 2 Fig. shows a schematic block diagram of a method 100 for transmitting signals according to an embodiment of the present application. As Figure 2 shown, the method 100 includes the following parts or all of the content:

[0060] S110, the terminal device determines the channel state information-reference signal CSI-RS resource indication information corresponding to the target uplink signal;

[0061] S120, the terminal device determines the power control parameters of the target uplink signal according to the CSI-RS resource indication information;

[0062] S130, the terminal device determines the transmission power of the target uplink signal according to the power control parameters;

[0063] S140. The terminal device sends the target uplink signal to the network device according to the transmission power.

[0064] Specifically, the network device can pre-configure or agree through a protocol on one or more Channel State Information-Reference Signals (CSI-RS) resources. The CSI-RS transmitted on different CSI-RS resources can adopt different beams. Also, the network device can pre-configure or agree through a protocol on the correspondence between the one or more CSI-RS resources and power control parameters or the correspondence between one or more CSI-RS resource indication information and power control parameters. That is to say, each CSI-RS resource or each CSI-RS resource indication information can correspond to a set of independent power control parameters. The network device can indicate to the terminal device which power control parameters corresponding to a CSI-RS resource or CSI-RS resource indication information to use for the transmission of the target uplink signal. The terminal device can make certain adjustments based on the power control parameters indicated by the network device to determine the power control parameters of the target uplink signal, or can also directly determine the power control parameters indicated by the network device as the power control parameters of the target uplink signal. The terminal device can further determine the transmission power of the target uplink signal according to the determined power control parameters, and thus send the target uplink signal to the network device according to the determined transmission power.

[0065] Therefore, in the method for transmitting a signal according to the embodiments of the present application, by referring to the power control parameters corresponding to the CSI-RS resource indication information sent by the network device to determine the transmission power of the target uplink signal, it is beneficial to improve the accuracy of uplink power control, and thus the performance of system transmission can be improved.

[0066] The target uplink signal can be PUSCH, PUCCH, SRS, etc. The embodiments of the present application do not limit the type of the target uplink signal. As long as it is an uplink signal, the technical solution provided by the embodiments of the present application can be used to determine the transmission power.

[0067] Furthermore, the target uplink signal is a PUSCH based on non-codebook precoding or a sounding reference signal SRS for obtaining transmission parameters of a PUSCH based on non-codebook precoding. That is to say, the transmission of the PUSCH is based on a non-codebook transmission mode. For example, after receiving the CSI-RS resource indication information sent by the network device, the terminal device can obtain downlink channel information according to the CSI-RS resource indicated by the CSI-RS resource indication information, then obtain uplink channel information based on the downlink channel information and channel reciprocity, and calculate the precoding information of the PUSCH according to the uplink channel information. The terminal device can also obtain the transmission beam of the PUSCH through beam correspondence, that is, the reception beam for the terminal device to receive CSI-RS can be used to obtain the transmission beam for transmitting the PUSCH. The transmission of the SRS can also be based on a non-codebook transmission mode. The target uplink signal can also be an SRS used to obtain the transmission parameters of the foregoing PUSCH.

[0068] Optionally, in the embodiments of this application, the CSI-RS resource indicated by the CSI-RS resource indication information is used to obtain the precoding matrix or transmission beam of the target uplink signal, or is used to obtain the precoding matrix or transmission beam of a first SRS corresponding to the target uplink signal.

[0069] It has been introduced above how the CSI-RS resource indicated by the CSI-RS resource indication information obtains the precoding matrix or transmission beam of the PUSCH. This method is also applicable to any uplink signal, such as the foregoing PUCCH or SRS.

[0070] Furthermore, the first SRS is an SRS for obtaining the transmission parameters of the target uplink signal, or the first SRS is an SRS transmitted on the SRS resource indicated by the SRS resource indication information carried in the downlink control information DCI for scheduling the target uplink signal.

[0071] Optionally, in the embodiments of the present application, the transmission parameters of the above various uplink signals can be obtained through the first SRS. The transmission parameters may include at least one of the following information: frequency domain resources used, number of layers, precoding matrix, modulation and coding scheme, and transmission beam. That is, after receiving the CSI-RS resource indication information, the terminal device can determine the precoding matrix or transmission beam of the first SRS according to the indicated CSI-RS resource and channel reciprocity. After the terminal sends the first SRS based on the precoding matrix or transmission beam, the network side can determine the transmission parameters of the target uplink signal according to the first SRS, and indicate the determined transmission parameters to the terminal, or schedule the terminal according to the determined transmission parameters. The first SRS is used to obtain the transmission parameters of the target uplink signal, which can be realized by the number of antenna ports of the first SRS being equal to the number of transmission ports of the target uplink signal.

[0072] In addition, the association between the target uplink signal and the SRS can also be reflected by carrying the SRS resource indication information indicating the SRS resource in the downlink control information (DCI) for scheduling the target uplink signal. Generally, the SRS resource indication information carried in the DCI is used to indicate the SRS resource associated with the target uplink signal, and the SRS transmitted on this resource is the first SRS.

[0073] In the embodiments of the present application, "corresponding" in the CSI-RS resource indication information corresponding to the target uplink signal may mean that the network device and the terminal device have pre-agreed or the network device has configured a certain indication method to belong to a specific uplink signal. For example, it can be agreed that a certain specific field in the downlink control information (Downlink Control Information, DCI) for scheduling the PUSCH is the CSI-RS resource indication information corresponding to the PUSCH.

[0074] In addition, those skilled in the art understand that the CSI-RS resource indication information may be indication information for indicating the CSI-RS resource. For example, the network device and the terminal device have pre-agreed on 4 CSI-RS resources and have pre-agreed to use 2 bits to indicate these 4 CSI-RS resources. Specifically, the indication information corresponding to CSI-RS resource 1 is 00, the indication information corresponding to CSI-RS resource 2 is 01, the indication information corresponding to CSI-RS resource 3 is 10, and the indication information corresponding to CSI-RS resource 4 is 11.

[0075] It should be understood that the power control parameters in the embodiments of the present application may be any one or any combination of multiple parameters in the calculation formula of the transmission power. For example, the calculation formula of the transmission power generally includes: the maximum allowable transmission power of the terminal device, the power offset, the transmission bandwidth of the uplink signal on the subframe, the target reception power, the path loss compensation factor, the closed-loop power adjustment amount, and the path loss. That is to say, in the embodiments of the present application, a set of power control parameters corresponding to each CSI-RS resource or each CSI-RS resource indication information includes the values of at least one parameter.

[0076] The following will respectively take the target uplink signals as PUSCH and SRS as examples to describe in detail the bearing manner of CSI-RS in the embodiments of the present application.

[0077] Optionally, in the embodiments of the present application, the method further includes: the terminal device receives first information sent by the network device, and the first information carries the CSI-RS resource indication information; the terminal device determines the CSI-RS resource indication information corresponding to the target uplink signal, including: the terminal device determines the CSI-RS resource indication information from the first information.

[0078] It should be understood that the first information may be high-layer signaling such as Radio Resource Control (RRC) signaling, Media Access Control (MAC) signaling, DCI signaling, system information, etc.

[0079] Embodiment 1: If the target uplink signal is PUSCH, and the CSI-RS resource indication information is the CSI-RS resource indication information configured by the network device for the PUSCH, the CSI-RS resource indication information may be carried by the DCI scheduling the PUSCH.

[0080] Embodiment 2: If the target uplink signal is a PUSCH, and the CSI-RS resource indication information is the CSI-RS resource indication information configured by the network device for the SRS corresponding to the PUSCH, then the CSI-RS resource indication information can be carried by the downlink signaling that configures, triggers, or activates the SRS transmission. Specifically, if the SRS is a periodic SRS, the CSI-RS resource indication information can be carried by the RRC signaling that configures the SRS transmission. If the SRS is an aperiodic SRS, the CSI-RS resource indication information can be carried by the DCI that triggers the SRS transmission. At this time, the transmission resource of the DCI and the CSI-RS resource indicated by the CSI-RS resource indication information can be included in the same time slot. If the SRS is a semi-persistent SRS, the CSI-RS resource indication information can be carried by the MAC signaling that activates the SRS transmission or by the RRC signaling.

[0081] Embodiment 3: If the target uplink signal is an SRS, then the CSI-RS resource indication information can be carried by the downlink signaling that configures, triggers, or activates the SRS transmission. Specifically, if the SRS is a periodic SRS, the CSI-RS resource indication information can be carried by the RRC signaling that configures the SRS transmission. If the SRS is an aperiodic SRS, the CSI-RS resource indication information can be carried by the DCI that triggers the SRS transmission. At this time, the transmission resource of the DCI and the CSI-RS resource indicated by the CSI-RS resource indication information can be included in the same time slot. If the SRS is a semi-persistent SRS, the CSI-RS resource indication information can be carried by the MAC signaling that activates the SRS transmission or by the RRC signaling.

[0082] Optionally, in the embodiments of this application, the method further includes: the terminal device receives configuration information sent by the network device, where the configuration information is used to indicate the correspondence between at least one CSI-RS resource and at least one set of power control parameters, the at least one CSI-RS resource includes the CSI-RS resource indicated by the CSI-RS resource indication information, and each set of power control parameters in the at least one set of power control parameters includes the values of at least one power control parameter; the terminal device determines the power control parameter of the target uplink signal according to the CSI-RS resource indication information, including: the terminal device determines the power control parameter according to the CSI-RS resource indication information and the configuration information.

[0083] Optionally, in the embodiments of the present application, the method further includes: the terminal device receives configuration information sent by the network device, where the configuration information is used to indicate the correspondence between at least one CSI-RS resource indication information and at least one set of power control parameters, the at least one CSI-RS resource indication information includes the CSI-RS resource indication information, and each set of power control parameters in the at least one set of power control parameters includes the values of at least one power control parameter; the terminal device determines the power control parameters of the target uplink signal according to the CSI-RS resource indication information, including: the terminal device determines the power control parameter according to the CSI-RS resource indication information and the configuration information.

[0084] Specifically, the network side pre-configures the values of a set of power control parameters corresponding to each of the at least one CSI-RS resource or each of the at least one CSI-RS resource indication information, so that the terminal can determine the values of a corresponding set of power control parameters according to the currently indicated CSI-RS resource or the current CSI-RS resource indication information. Here, a set of power control parameters may only include one power control parameter, such as an open-loop power control parameter or a path loss value, or may include multiple parameters, such as an open-loop power control parameter and a path loss value.

[0085] For example, the network device and the terminal device pre-agree on 4 CSI-RS resources, and each of the 4 CSI-RS resources has independent power control parameters. Then, the network device and the terminal device can also pre-agree to use 2 bits to indicate the 4 CSI-RS resources. Specifically, the indication information corresponding to CSI-RS resource 1 is 00, the indication information corresponding to CSI-RS resource 2 is 01, the indication information corresponding to CSI-RS resource 3 is 10, and the indication information corresponding to CSI-RS resource 4 is 11. That is to say, the network device can configure that 00 corresponds to power control parameter group 1, 01 corresponds to power control parameter group 2, 10 corresponds to power control parameter group 3, and 11 corresponds to power control parameter group 4. The network device can also configure that CSI-RS resource 1 corresponds to power control parameter group 1, CSI-RS resource 2 corresponds to power control parameter group 2, CSI-RS resource 3 corresponds to power control parameter group 3, and CSI-RS resource 4 corresponds to power control parameter group 4. Among them, power control parameter groups 1-4 correspond to different value situations of the same set of power control parameters.

[0086] At least one of the CSI-RS resource and the CSI-RS resource indication information has a corresponding relationship with the power control parameter. That is to say, after receiving the CSI-RS resource indication information, the terminal device determines the corresponding power control parameter according to the value of the indication information. The terminal device may also, after receiving the CSI-RS resource indication information, first determine the CSI-RS resource indicated by the indication information according to the indication information, and further determine the corresponding power control parameter according to the CSI-RS resource. This application does not impose any limitations on this.

[0087] Optionally, in the embodiments of this application, the power control parameter includes at least one of the following information: the path loss value used to calculate the transmission power, the information of the downlink signal used to measure the path loss value for calculating the transmission power, the open-loop power control parameter, and the closed-loop power control parameter.

[0088] Among them, the information of the downlink signal used to measure the path loss value for calculating the transmission power can be regarded as path loss reference correlation information, that is, it can be a subset of the downlink signals used to estimate the path loss of the target uplink signal. For example, the path loss reference correlation information for PUSCH can refer to which downlink pilot signals in the configuration set of downlink pilot signals are used to measure the path loss and thus estimate the path loss of PUSCH. The downlink signal can be a downlink synchronization signal block (SSB), CSI-RS, or physical broadcast channel (PBCH), demodulation reference signal (DMRS). For example, the terminal performs downlink path loss measurement based on the CSI-RS resource indicated by the CSI-RS resource indication information, so as to obtain the path loss value. For another example, the terminal determines the index k of a corresponding downlink signal according to the CSI-RS resource indication information, and performs downlink path loss measurement based on the downlink signal indicated by the index k, so as to obtain the path loss value. Here, the corresponding relationship between the CSI-RS resource indication information and the index k of the downlink signal is pre-configured by the network side through high-layer signaling.

[0089] Optionally, the open-loop power control parameter includes the value of the target power Po, the value of the path loss weighting factor a, the index j of the target power Po, or the index p of the path loss weighting factor a. Among them, the index j indicates a target power from multiple target power values pre-configured by the high-layer signaling, and the index p indicates a path loss weighting factor from multiple path loss weighting factor values pre-configured by the high-layer signaling. Here, the correspondence between the value of the target power Po, the value of the path loss weighting factor a, the index j of the target power Po, and the index p of the path loss weighting factor and the CSI-RS resource indication information can be pre-configured by the high-layer signaling.

[0090] Optionally, the closed-loop power control parameter includes the index l of the closed-loop power control process. Among them, the index l indicates a power control process from at least one pre-defined power control process, and the correspondence between the index l and the CSI-RS resource indication information can be pre-configured by the high-layer signaling.

[0091] Optionally, in the embodiment of the present application, before the terminal device determines the CSI-RS resource indication information corresponding to the target uplink signal, the method further includes: the terminal device determines the transmission power of the target uplink signal by using the power control parameter pre-configured by the network device.

[0092] Specifically, if the terminal does not receive the CSI-RS resource indication information sent by the network side, it uses the power control parameter pre-configured by the network side for the target uplink signal until it receives the CSI-RS resource indication information. Specifically, after receiving the CSI-RS resource indication information, it uses the power control parameter corresponding to the CSI-RS resource indication information to replace the value pre-configured by the network side.
