Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present disclosure relates to, but is not limited to, the field of communication technology, and in particular to an information processing method, apparatus, communication equipment, and storage medium. Background Art

[0002] In the current 3GPP standardization of the R17 power saving project, it is proposed to use additional Tracking Reference Signal (TRS) or Channel State Information-Reference Signal (CSI-RS) in the idle state to assist users in acquiring time and frequency domain synchronization with the network. Compared with the original Synchronization Signal Block (SSB) synchronization, TRS or CSI-RS configuration can be configured closer to the Paging Occasion (PO) moment; and the original SSB is far away from the PO position, so the User Equipment (UE) needs to wake up a long time in advance to synchronize with the SSB. After using the additional TRS or CSI-RS, the UE can wake up later, so it can save more power.

[0003] In the system message, the configuration message of the additional TRS or CSI-RS to be broadcast, and the available status information of whether the TRS or CSI-RS is being broadcast, can be considered to be indicated separately; that is, the network is likely to configure the TRS or CSI-RS, but no actual transmission is performed, that is, it is not used by the UE in the idle or inactive state of the radio control resource (RRC).

[0004] Currently, the configuration information of TRS or CSI-RS is usually placed in the system information block (SIB). However, if the number of bits required for each resource set is relatively large, the total number of bits required for the configuration information will exceed the size that the SIB can bear. In this case, the SIB needs to be segmented, resulting in a problem of relatively large signaling overhead. Summary of the invention

[0044] In order to facilitate the understanding of those skilled in the art, the embodiments of the present disclosure list multiple implementation methods to clearly illustrate the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present disclosure. Of course, those skilled in the art can understand that the multiple embodiments provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure can be executed separately, or can be executed together with the methods of other embodiments of the embodiments of the present disclosure, or can be executed together with some methods in other related technologies separately or in combination; the embodiments of the present disclosure do not limit this.

[0045] In order to better understand the technical solution described in any embodiment of the present disclosure, first, the configuration of the configuration information of TRS or CSI-RS in the related art is partially described:

[0046] In one embodiment, the configuration information of TRS or CSI-RS is carried in SIB, as shown in the following example:

[0047]

[0048]

[0049] In one embodiment, as shown in Table 1 below, an example is given of the number of bits required for each parameter in TRS configuration information; wherein the parameter includes but is not limited to at least one of the following: TRS resource set identifier (TRS-ResourceSetId), frequency domain resource location allocation (frequencyDomainAllocation), number of time slots (numofslot), starting resource block (startingRB), number of resource blocks (nrofRBs), period and offset (periodicityAndOffset), first OFDM symbol in time domain (firstOFDMSymbolInTimeDomain), and power control offset (powerControlOffsetSS), synchronization signal block index (ssb-index), indicator bit identifier (indBitID), scrambling identifier (scramblingID) and total number of bits (Size in total).

[0050]

[0051] Table 1

[0052] In one embodiment, indBitID can be used to indicate to which resource set group (TRS resource set group) a TRS resource set belongs. If each TRS resource set is 65 bits or 95 bits, the total number of bits of the TRS configuration information can be: 65×64=4160 bits, or 95×64=6080 bits. In this way, the number of bits of the TRS configuration information is much larger than the number of bits that the SIB block can bear, which is about 2800 bits.

[0053] like Figure 2 As shown, the embodiment of the present disclosure provides an information processing method, which is executed by a base station and includes:

[0054] Step S21: Send configuration information of a reference signal, wherein the configuration information includes combined configuration information indicating a combined configuration; wherein the combined configuration includes: a set of at least one IE for indicating a resource set of a reference signal.

[0055] In one embodiment, the base station may be various types of base stations; for example, a 3G base station, a 4G base station, a 5G base station or other evolved base stations.

[0056] The information processing method of the embodiment of the present disclosure may also be executed by a network device, which may be other access network devices or core network devices. If the information processing method is executed by a core network device, it may be that the core network device sends the configuration information of the reference signal to the base station, and the base station forwards the configuration information of the reference signal to the UE, etc.

[0057] The step S21 may be: the base station sends configuration information of the reference signal to the UE.

[0058] In one embodiment, the UE may be various mobile terminals or fixed terminals. For example, the UE may be, but is not limited to, a mobile phone, a computer, a server, a wearable device, a game control platform, or a multimedia device.

[0059] The step S21 may be: the base station sends a system message, where the system message carries configuration information of the reference signal.

[0060] In one embodiment, the system message may be SIB-X.

[0061] Exemplarily, SIB-X may be a SIB already specified in the wireless communication protocol or a newly added SIB. For example, SIB-X may be SIB1, SIB2, SIB3, SIB4, SIB5, SIB6, or SIB11, SIB12, etc. In this way, the embodiments of the present disclosure may carry the availability indication of the configuration of the reference signal in the existing SIB of the wireless communication protocol.

[0062] Exemplarily, SIB-X may be a predetermined SIB. For example, SIB-X may be SIB15, SIB16 or SIB20, etc. In this way, the embodiment of the present disclosure may carry the configuration information of the reference signal by newly defining a type of SIB.

[0063] In one embodiment, the reference signal includes but is not limited to at least one of the following: TRS, and CSI-RS.

[0064] In one embodiment, the combined configuration includes: a set of at least one IE for indicating parameters in a resource set of a reference signal. Here, the combined configuration may include one or more IEs; the IE may correspond to one resource set or multiple resource sets.

[0065] Here, the resource set of reference signals includes but is not limited to the resource set of TRS and / or CSI-RS.

[0066] Here, the parameters in the resource set, for example, the IE of the parameters in the resource set of the reference signal include but are not limited to at least one of the following: TRS resource set identifier (TRS-ResourceSetId), frequency domain resource location allocation (frequencyDomainAllocation), number of time slots (numofslot), starting resource block (startingRB), number of resource blocks (nrofRBs), period and offset (periodicityAndOffset), first OFDM symbol in time domain (firstOFDMSymbolInTimeDomain), power control offset (powerControlOffsetSS), synchronization signal block index (ssb-index), indicator bit identifier (indBitID), scrambling identifier (scramblingID) and total number of bits (Sizeintotal).

[0067] Here, the resource set is a set of one or more of the above parameters. In the embodiments of the present disclosure, a plurality of means two or more than two; a plurality means two or more than two.

[0068] Here, the IE may be, but is not limited to, the IE of the above parameters.

[0069] Here, the combined configuration may be a set of at least one IE. For example, the combined configuration may be a set of IEs of frequencyDomainAllocation, numofslots, startingRB, and nrofRBs.

[0070] Here, the combined configuration information is used to indicate a combined configuration; that is, the combined configuration information is used to indicate a set of at least one IE.

[0071] Here, the combined configuration may be a set of at least one IE of at least part of the resource set. Here, the set of IEs included in the combined configuration may be a common IE of multiple resource sets. For example, the network device configures N resource sets, namely resource set 0, resource set 1, ... resource set N-1; wherein N is an integer greater than 0. If the configurations of the IEs indicating frequencyDomainAllocation and numofslots in resource set 0, resource set 1, and resource set 2 are the same, the IEs of requencyDomainAllocation and numofslots may be used as a combined configuration.

[0072] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, configuration information of a reference signal may be sent by a base station, wherein the configuration information includes: combined configuration information indicating a combined configuration, wherein the combined configuration includes: a set of at least one IE for indicating a resource set of a reference signal. In this way, the embodiment of the present disclosure may send down a combined configuration for common parameters in an indication resource set, thereby reducing the number of bits occupied by the configuration information; in this way, when a system message (such as SIB) is used to send down the configuration information of a reference signal, the configuration information may not need to be sent in segments for the system message, thereby reducing the signaling overhead of the system message, etc.

[0073] The disclosed embodiment provides an information processing method, which is executed by a base station, comprising: sending configuration information of a reference signal, wherein the configuration information comprises: at least one configuration identifier (ID); wherein the configuration ID is associated with a combined configuration. For example, the configuration information comprises: a configuration ID associated with the combined configuration or multiple configuration IDs associated with the combined configuration.

[0074] In one embodiment, the configuration identifier is a TRS configuration identifier (TRS-configurationId).

[0075] In some embodiments, one combined configuration is associated with one configuration ID.

[0076] Exemplarily, a combined configuration may be a set of IEs of frequencyDomainAllocation, numofslot, startingRB, and nrofRBs; if a combined configuration is associated with a configuration ID. For example, a configuration ID associated with a combined configuration is configuration-ID0, which may indicate that the indication of the IE of frequencyDomainAllocation in the combined configuration is 1, the indication of the IE of numofslot is 2, the indication of the IE of startingRB is 3, and the indication of nrofRBs is 4. Of course, it should be understood that the above combined configuration is only an example, and the set of IEs in the combined configuration is not limited thereto.

[0077] In this way, a configuration method of parameters in a combined configuration can be implemented by associating a combined configuration with a configuration ID.

[0078] In some other embodiments, a combined configuration is used to configure at least one entity or to configure an entity list, wherein an entity list includes at least one entity. Here, one entity is associated with one configuration ID.

[0079] Here, one entity may correspond to a set of at least one IE in at least one resource set.

[0080] Exemplarily, a combined configuration may be a set of IEs of frequencyDomainAllocation, numofslots, startingRB, and nrofRBs; if a combined configuration is used to configure multiple entities, one entity is associated with one configuration ID. For example, there are three entities, and the configuration IDs associated with the three entities are configuration-ID0, configuration-ID1, and configuration-ID2 respectively; if the configuration ID is configuration-ID0, it can indicate that the indication of the IE of frequencyDomainAllocation in the combined configuration is 1, the indication of the IE of numofslot is 2, the indication of the IE of startingRB is 3, and the indication of nrofRBs is 4; if the configuration ID is configuration-ID1, it can indicate that the indication of the IE of frequencyDomainAllocation in the combined configuration is 2, the indication of the IE of numofslot is 3, the indication of the IE of startingRB is 4, and the indication of nrofRBs is 5; if the configuration ID is configuration-ID2, it can indicate that the indication of the IE of frequencyDomainAllocation in the combined configuration is 2, the indication of the IE of numofslot is 2, the indication of the IE of startingRB is 4, and the indication of nrofRBs is 4. Here, one entity can correspond to a configuration method of parameters in a combined configuration.

[0081] For example, in a possible implementation, assuming that specific IEs: frequencyDomainAllocation, numofslot, startingRB, nrofRBs are extracted and combined into a group named TRS-configuration, the configuration can be performed as follows:

[0082]

[0083] In this way, multiple entities can be configured through a combined configuration, and a configuration ID can be associated with an entity, thereby realizing multiple configuration methods of parameters in a combined configuration.

[0084] Exemplarily, a combined configuration may be a set of IEs of requencyDomainAllocation, numofslots, startingRB, and nrofRBs; if a combined configuration is used to configure an entity list, the entity list includes at least one entity. For example, the entity list includes three entities, such as TRS-configuration-ID1, TRS-configuration-ID2, and TRS-configuration-ID3; then an entity corresponds to a configuration method of parameters in the combined configuration, such as TRS-configuration-ID1 may correspond to combined configuration 1 (TRS-configuration1), TRS-configuration-ID2 may correspond to combined configuration 2 (TRS-configuration2), and TRS-configuration-ID3 may correspond to combined configuration 3 (TRS-configuration3). Among them, TRS-configuration1 can be used to indicate that the indication of the IE of frequencyDomainAllocation in the combined configuration is 1, the indication of the IE of numofslot is 2, the indication of the IE of startingRB is 3, and the indication of nrofRBs is 4; TRS-configuration2 can be used to indicate that the indication of the IE of frequencyDomainAllocation in the combined configuration is 2, the indication of the IE of numofslot is 3, the indication of the IE of startingRB is 4, and the indication of nrofRBs is 5; and TRS-configuration3 can be used to indicate that the indication of the IE of frequencyDomainAllocation in the combined configuration is 2, the indication of the IE of numofslot is 2, the indication of the IE of startingRB is 4, and the indication of nrofRBs is 4.

[0085] For example, the configuration can be performed as follows:

[0086]

[0087] In this way, an entity list can be configured through a combined configuration, wherein an entity list includes multiple entities; and a configuration ID can be associated with an entity, thereby realizing multiple configuration modes of parameters in a combined configuration.

[0088] In this way, the entity list can be considered as a candidate configuration set. When the resource set is subsequently configured, these candidate configuration sets can be directly configured, thereby saving signaling overhead.

[0089] It should be noted that those skilled in the art can understand that the method provided in the embodiments of the present disclosure can be executed alone or together with some methods in the embodiments of the present disclosure or some methods in related technologies.

[0090] In some embodiments, the configuration information includes: indication information for indicating a single IE that is not configured in the combined configuration.

[0091] like Figure 3 As shown, the embodiment of the present disclosure provides an information processing method, which is executed by a base station and includes:

[0092] Step S31: Send configuration information of a reference signal, wherein the configuration information includes indication information, and the indication information is used to indicate a single IE that is not configured in the combined configuration.

[0093] In one embodiment, the configuration information includes one or more indication information, wherein one indication information is used to indicate an IE that is not configured in the combined configuration.

[0094] Exemplarily, among multiple resource sets configured by the network, if the parameter ssb-index is configured differently in each resource set, the IE of ssb-index can be sent to the UE separately; for example, the IE of ssb-index is indicated by indication information 1. If the parameter indBitID is configured differently in each resource set, the IE of indBitID can be sent to the UE separately; for example, the IE of indBitID is indicated by indication information 2. If the parameter scramblingID is configured differently in each resource set, the IE of scramblingID can be sent to the UE separately; for example, the IE of scramblingID is indicated by indication information 3.

[0095] Thus, in the disclosed embodiment, when the base station sends configuration information to the UE, for IEs that are not configured in the combined configuration, the configuration of the IE can be indicated by sending indication information of the IE; thus, the configuration information of the reference signal can be completely sent.

[0096] In the disclosed embodiment, in the configuration information sent by the base station, the IE configured in the combined configuration can be indicated by the configuration ID; the IE not configured in the combined configuration needs to be indicated by the indication information indicating the IE. In this way, on the one hand, the configuration of the common IE can be sent through the combined configuration to reduce the signaling overhead; on the other hand, the IE without commonality can be sent separately, thereby achieving the integrity of the configuration information sent.

[0097] It should be noted that those skilled in the art can understand that the method provided in the embodiments of the present disclosure can be executed alone or together with some methods in the embodiments of the present disclosure or some methods in related technologies.

[0098] In some embodiments, the configuration information includes: rule information; wherein the rule information is used to indicate rules for resource collections to belong to different resource collection groups.

[0099] like Figure 4 As shown, the embodiment of the present disclosure provides an information processing method, which is executed by a base station and includes:

[0100] Step S41: Send configuration information of a reference signal, the configuration information including rule information; wherein the rule information is used to indicate a rule for assigning a resource set of the reference signal to different resource set groups.

[0101] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the configuration information also includes the configuration information in step S21. In some other embodiments of the present disclosure, the configuration information does not include the configuration information in step S21, but the configuration information includes rule information.

[0102] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the reference signal is the reference signal in step S21.

[0103] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the reference signal is the reference signal in the above embodiments; the resource set is the resource set in the above embodiments.

[0104] The step S41 may be: sending the configuration of the reference signal to the UE, the configuration information including rule information; wherein the rule information is used to indicate the rule that the resource set of the reference signal belongs to different resource set groups.

[0105] The step S41 may be: sending a system message, wherein the system message includes configuration information of a reference signal; the configuration information includes rule information. Here, the system message may be SIB-X.

[0106] In some embodiments, the rule information includes a resource set index of a partial resource set and a resource set group index of a corresponding resource set group; and wherein,

[0107] The rule information is used to indicate that the resource set indicated by the resource set index and at least one previous resource set belong to the resource set group indicated by the resource set group index corresponding to the resource set index; or,

[0108] The rule information is used to indicate that the resource set indicated by the resource set index and at least one subsequent resource set belong to the resource set group indicated by the resource set group index corresponding to the resource set index; or,

[0109] The rule information is used to indicate that the resource set indicated by the resource set index and the resource set between the resource set indicated by the previous resource set index belong to the resource set group indicated by the resource set group index corresponding to the resource set index.

[0110] In one embodiment, the resource set index may be a TRS resource set index (TRS-ResourceSetId). The resource set group index may be a TRS resource set group index.

[0111] An embodiment of the present disclosure provides an information processing method, which is executed by a base station, including: sending configuration information of a reference signal, the configuration information including: rule information; wherein the rule information includes a resource set index of a partial resource set and a resource set group index of a corresponding resource set group; and the rule information is used to indicate that the resource set indicated by the resource set index and at least one previous resource set belong to the resource set group indicated by the resource set group index corresponding to the resource set index.

[0112] Exemplarily, if the network device is configured with 5 resource sets, the 5 resource sets are resource set 0, resource set 1, resource set 2, resource set 3 and resource set 4. The rule information sent by the base station includes: the resource set index "2" of resource set 2 and the resource set group index "0" of the corresponding resource set group 0, and the resource set index "4" of resource set 4 and the resource set group index "1" of the corresponding resource set group 1. Then the rule information is used to indicate that: resource set 2 and at least one resource set before resource set 2 (such as resource set 0 and resource set 1) both belong to resource set group 0, and resource set 4 and at least one resource set before resource set 4 (such as resource set 3) both belong to resource set group 1. That is, the rule information is used to indicate that resource sets 0, 1 and 2 belong to resource set group 0, and resource sets 3 and 4 belong to resource set group 1.

[0113] An embodiment of the present disclosure provides an information processing method, which is executed by a base station, including: sending configuration information of a reference signal, the configuration information including: rule information; wherein the rule information includes a resource set index of a partial resource set and a resource set group index of a corresponding resource set group; and the rule information is used to indicate that the resource set indicated by the resource set index and at least one subsequent resource set belong to the resource set group indicated by the resource set group index corresponding to the resource set index.

[0114] Exemplarily, if the network device is configured with 5 resource sets, the 5 resource sets are resource set 0, resource set 1, resource set 2, resource set 3 and resource set 4. The rule information sent by the base station includes: the resource set index "0" of resource set 0 and the resource set group index "0" of the corresponding resource set group 0, and the resource set index "2" of resource set 2 and the resource set group index "1" of the corresponding resource set group 1. Then the rule information is used to indicate that: resource set 0 and at least one resource set after resource set 0 (such as resource set 1) belong to resource set group 0, and resource set 2 and at least one resource set after resource set 2 (such as resource set 3 and resource set 4) belong to resource set group 1. That is, the rule information is used to indicate that resource sets 0 and 1 belong to resource set group 0, and resource sets 2, 3 and 4 belong to resource set group 1.

[0115] An embodiment of the present disclosure provides an information processing method, which is executed by a base station, including: sending configuration information of a reference signal, the configuration information including: rule information; wherein the rule information includes a resource set index of a partial resource set and a resource set group index of a corresponding resource set group; and the rule information is used to indicate that the resource set indicated by the resource set index and the resource set between the resource set indicated by the previous resource set index belong to the resource set group indicated by the resource set group index corresponding to the resource set index.

[0116] Exemplarily, if the network device is configured with 5 resource sets, the 5 resource sets are resource set 0, resource set 1, resource set 2, resource set 3 and resource set 4. The rule information sent by the base station includes: the resource set index "2" of resource set 2 and the resource set group index "0" of the corresponding resource set group 0, and the resource set index "4" of resource set 4 and the resource set group index "1" of the corresponding resource set group 1. Then the rule information is used to indicate that: the resource sets between resource set 2 and resource set 2 (such as resource set 0 and resource set 1) all belong to resource set group 0, and resource set 4 and the resource sets between resource set 2 and resource set 4 (such as resource set 3) all belong to resource set group 1. That is, the rule information is used to indicate that resource sets 0, 1 and 2 belong to resource set group 0, and resource sets 3 and 4 belong to resource set group 1.

[0117] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the base station can carry the resource set index of some resource sets and the resource set group index of the corresponding resource set group through rule information, so as to realize that at least some resource sets belong to different resource set groups. And because the configuration information in the present application does not need to carry the resource set index of each resource set and the resource set group index of the resource set group corresponding to the resource set; thus, the number of bits of the configuration information can be reduced, and the signaling overhead can be reduced.

[0118] In some embodiments, the rule information includes a demarcation resource set index, the demarcation resource set index indicates a resource set serving as a demarcation point; and

[0119] The rule information is used to indicate that the resource set indicated by the next demarcation resource set index and the resource set between the resource set indicated by the previous demarcation resource set index belong to the same resource set group; and / or,

[0120] The rule information is used to indicate that the resource collections following the resource collection indicated by the last delimited resource collection index belong to the same resource collection group.

[0121] An embodiment of the present disclosure provides an information processing method, which is executed by a base station, including: sending configuration information of a reference signal, the configuration information including: a boundary resource set index, the boundary resource set index indicating a resource set serving as a boundary point; and rule information used to indicate that a resource set indicated by a next boundary resource set index and a resource set between the resource set indicated by a previous boundary resource set index belong to the same resource set group, and used to indicate that a resource set after a resource set indicated by the last boundary resource set index belongs to the same resource set group.

[0122] In one embodiment, the rule information may include: at least one demarcation resource set index. Here, resource sets indicated by different demarcation resource set indexes belong to different resource set groups.

[0123] In one embodiment, the rule information may include: an index list, wherein the index list includes one or more demarcation resource set indexes.

[0124] Exemplarily, the base station configuration information includes an index list; the index list includes 3 boundary resource set indexes, namely "index1", "index2" and "index3". The rule indication information is used to indicate: the resource set indicated by "index1" and the resource set before the resource set indicated by "index1" belong to the first resource set group (such as group0); the resource set indicated by "index2" and the resource set between the resource set indicated by "index2" and the resource set of "index1" belong to the second resource set group (such as group1); the resource set indicated by "index3" and the resource set between the resource set indicated by "index3" and the resource set of "index2" belong to the third resource set group (such as group3); and the resource set after the resource set indicated by "index3" belongs to the fourth set group (such as group4). If the network device is configured with 10 resource sets, the 5 resource sets are resource set 0, resource set 1, resource set 2, resource set 3, ... and resource set 9. The rule information sent by the base station includes the above three demarcation resource set indexes: "index1", "index2" and "index3", wherein "index1" is used to indicate resource set 2 as the demarcation point, "index2" is used to indicate resource set 4 as the demarcation point, and "index3" is used to indicate resource set 6 as the demarcation point. Then the rule information is used to indicate that resource sets 0, 1 and 2 belong to the first resource set group (such as group0), resource sets 3 and 4 belong to the second resource set group (such as group1), resource sets 5 and 6 belong to the third resource set group (such as group2), and resource sets 7, 8 and 9 belong to the fourth resource set group (such as group3).

[0125] Here, if the rule information includes N demarcation resource set indexes, then the number of resource set groups is N+1; wherein N is an integer greater than 0.

[0126] In the disclosed embodiment, the base station can carry the demarcation resource set index through the rule information, so that the resource set indicated by the demarcation resource set index is used as the demarcation point, so as to realize that at least part of the resource set belongs to different resource set groups. And because the configuration information in the present application only needs to carry the demarcation resource set index of the resource set as the demarcation point, it is not necessary to carry the resource set index of each resource set and the resource set group index of the resource set group corresponding to the resource set; thereby, the number of bits of the configuration information can be reduced, and the signaling overhead can be reduced.

[0127] In some embodiments, the rule information includes: the number of resource collection groups; and the rule information is used to indicate that the resource collections are evenly divided into different resource collection groups, and / or to indicate that if the number of resource collections cannot be divided evenly into the number of resource collection groups, the remaining resource collections shall be assigned to any resource collection group.

[0128] The embodiment of the present disclosure provides an information processing method, which is executed by a base station, including: sending configuration information of a reference signal, the configuration information including: the number of resource set groups; and rule information is used to indicate that the resource sets are evenly divided into different resource set groups.

[0129] Exemplarily, if the network device is configured with 30 resource sets, the 30 resource sets are resource set 0, resource set 1, resource set 2, ..., resource set 29. The rule information sent by the base station includes: the number of resource set groups is 6; then the rule information indicates that the 30 resource sets are evenly divided into the 6 resource set groups. For example, resource sets 0 to 4 are divided into resource set group 0, resource sets 5 to 9 are divided into resource set group 1, resource sets 10 to 14 are divided into resource set group 2, resource sets 15 to 19 are divided into resource set group 3, resource sets 20 to 24 are divided into resource set group 4, and resource sets 25 to 29 are divided into resource set group 5.

[0130] An embodiment of the present disclosure provides an information processing method, which is executed by a base station, including: sending configuration information of a reference signal, the configuration information including: the number of resource collection groups; and rule information is used to indicate that resource collections are evenly divided into different resource collection groups, or to indicate that if the number of resource collections cannot be divided evenly into the number of resource collection groups, the remaining resource collections are assigned to any one of the resource collection groups.

[0131] Exemplarily, if the network device is configured with 33 resource sets, the 33 resource sets are resource set 0, resource set 1, resource set 2, ..., resource set 32. The rule information sent by the base station includes: the number of resource set groups is 6; when the 32 resource set groups cannot divide the 6 resource set groups, the rule information indicates that 30 resource sets in the 32 resource sets are evenly divided into 6 resource set groups, and the 3 resource sets that cannot be divided evenly are assigned to any one of the 6 resource set groups, for example, they are assigned to the last resource set group. For example, resource sets 0 to 4 are assigned to resource set group 0, resource sets 5 to 9 are assigned to resource set group 1, resource sets 10 to 14 are assigned to resource set group 2, resource sets 15 to 19 are assigned to resource set group 3, resource sets 20 to 24 are assigned to resource set group 4, and resource sets 25 to 29 and 30 to 32 (i.e., resource sets 25 to 32) are assigned to resource set group 5.

[0132] In the disclosed embodiment, the base station can carry the number of resource set groups through rule information, so that at least part of the resource sets are evenly distributed to the resource set groups, or when the number cannot be divided evenly, the remaining resource set groups are additionally distributed to any resource set group. In this way, when the configuration information only carries the number of resource groups, at least part of the resource sets can be assigned to different resource set groups; in this way, the number of bits occupied by the configuration information can be reduced, thereby reducing the signaling overhead.

[0133] It should be noted that those skilled in the art can understand that the method provided in the embodiments of the present disclosure can be executed alone or together with some methods in the embodiments of the present disclosure or some methods in related technologies.

[0134] In some embodiments, the configuration information does not include: a resource set index indicating a resource set; the configuration information is also used to indicate: the resource set index of the resource set is numbered according to the order in which the resource sets appear in the configuration information.

[0135] It should be understood that the above embodiments may be implemented individually or in combination with one or more of the foregoing embodiments, and the present disclosure does not limit this.

[0136] like Figure 5 As shown, the embodiment of the present disclosure provides an information processing method, which is executed by a base station and includes:

[0137] Step S51: sending configuration information of a reference signal, wherein the configuration information does not include a resource set index indicating a resource set; and the resource set index used to indicate a resource set in the configuration information is obtained by numbering the resource sets in the order in which the resource sets appear in the configuration information.

[0138] In one embodiment, the resource set index is a TRS resource set index (TRS-ResourceSetID).

[0139] For example, if the configuration information includes 10 resource sets, and TRS-ResourceSetID does not exist in each resource set, the configuration information is used to indicate that the resource set index of each resource set is cumulatively numbered according to the order in which each resource set appears in the configuration information. For example, resource set 0 to resource set 9 appear in the configuration information in sequence, and the resource set indexes of resource set 0 to resource set 9 are "index0" to "index9" respectively.

[0140] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the base station can send down configuration information that does not carry a resource set index to indicate that each resource set is numbered based on the order in which it appears in the configuration information to obtain a resource set index; in this way, indexing of each resource set can be achieved without additionally sending a resource set index, thereby reducing the proportion of configuration information and further reducing signaling overhead.

[0165] For the specific description of the configuration information, please refer to the description on the base station side, which will not be repeated here.

[0166] It should be noted that those skilled in the art can understand that the method provided in the embodiments of the present disclosure can be executed alone or together with some methods in the embodiments of the present disclosure or some methods in related technologies.

[0167] In order to further explain any embodiment of the present disclosure, a specific embodiment is provided below.

[0168] The present disclosure provides an information processing method, which is executed by a base station and includes:

[0169] Step S71: The base station sends configuration information of TRS and / or CSI-RS;

[0170] Step S72: the base station sends a rule of a resource set group to which a TRS and / or CSI-RS resource set belongs;

[0171] Step S72 includes the following methods:

[0172] Mode A: The base station pair carries part of the resource set belonging to different resource set groups.

[0173] Here, the base station may send down rule information carrying part of the resource sets belonging to different resource set groups. The resource set group to which a resource set belongs is the same as the resource set group to which the previous resource set belongs, or the resource set group to which a resource set belongs is the same as the resource set group to which the next resource set belongs.

[0174] For example, if the network device is configured with 5 resource sets, the 5 resource sets are resource set 0, resource set 1, resource set 2, resource set 3 and resource set 4; wherein the rule information configures resource set 2 to belong to resource set group 0, and resource set 4 to belong to resource set group 1, as shown below: resource set 0,

[0175] Resource Set 1,

[0176] Resource Collection 2,0

[0177] Resource Set 3,

[0178] Resource collection 4, 1;

[0179] It is considered that resource set 2 (including resource set 2, resource set 0 and resource set 1) all belong to resource set group 0; resource sets before resource set 4 to resource set 2 (including resource set 3 and resource set 4) all belong to resource set group 1.

[0180] Mode B: The base station provides a dividing point for assigning some resource sets to different resource set groups.

[0181] Here, the base station sends down rule information carrying a demarcation resource set index serving as a demarcation point resource set.

[0182] Exemplarily, the rule information sent by the base station includes an index list, and the index list includes three boundary resource set indexes "index1", "index2" and "index3". It is considered that the base station attributes the resource set before the resource set indicated by "index1" (including the resource set indicated by "index1") to the first resource set (group0), the resource set between the resource set indicated by "index1" and the resource set indicated by "index2" (including the resource set indicated by "index2") to the second resource set (group1), the resource set between the resource set indicated by "index2" and the resource set indicated by "index3" (including the resource set indicated by "index3") to the third resource set (group2), and the remaining resource sets to the fourth resource set (group3).

[0183] Here, the total number of resource sets is: the number of demarcation resource set indexes in the index list provided by the base station plus 1.

[0184] Mode C: The base station assigns resource sets to different resource set groups.

[0185] Here, the base station sends rule information carrying the number of resource set groups. Here, if the number of resource set groups sent is N, if the number of configured resource sets can divide N evenly, the resource sets are evenly divided into N resource set groups; if the configured resource sets cannot divide N evenly, the part that can be evenly divided is first evenly divided into N resource set groups, and the remainder is assigned to the last resource set group.

[0186] In one embodiment, the rule information of the above methods A, B and C can all be carried in the configuration information.

[0187] Of course, in other implementation examples, the rule information of the above methods A, B and C can also be sent separately.

[0188] Step S73: the base station does not send the resource set index;

[0189] Here, the resource set index may be a TRS resource set index (TRS-ResourceSetId); if the base station does not send TRS-ResourceSetId, the index of each set resource is numbered according to the order in which the resource sets appear in the configuration information.

[0190] Exemplarily, the resource set that appears first in the configuration information has an index of "0"; the resource set that appears second in the configuration information has an index of "1"; and the indexes are accumulated in sequence.

[0191] Step S74: the base station sends a combined configuration including a set of at least one IE to the UE;

[0192] Here, the base station sends combined configuration information of the combined configuration, wherein the combined configuration includes at least one IE. Here, the combined configuration information can be carried in the configuration information, or the combined configuration information can also be sent separately.

[0193] Here, the IE included in the combined configuration may be a specific IE; the IE is used to indicate parameters in a resource set.

[0194] Step S74 includes the following methods:

[0195] Method D: One combined configuration is associated with one configuration ID.

[0196] Exemplarily, the base station extracts specific IEs from the resource set, such as extracting the IEs of frequencyDomainAllocation, numofslot, startingRB, and nrofRBs as a combined configuration; the combined configuration is associated with a configuration ID. Therefore, when sending a resource set, its IE can be sent in the combined configuration; for example, as shown in the following example:

[0197]

[0198] Mode E: A combined configuration configures multiple entities or an entity list; an entity list includes: multiple entities; one entity is associated with one configuration ID.

[0199] Exemplarily, the base station sets multiple configuration IDs for a combined configuration; for example, three configuration IDs are set for a combined configuration, and the three configuration IDs are TRS-configuration-ID0, TRS-configuration-ID1, and TRS-configuration-ID2 respectively; the three configuration IDs identify the combined configuration, which may be: TRS-configuration-ID0 may indicate TRS-configuration1, TRS-configuration-ID1 may indicate TRS-configuration2, and / or TRS-configuration-ID2 may indicate TRS-configuration3. For example, each combined configuration is identified by a configuration ID, which may be as follows:

[0200] {

[0201] TRS-configuration1=》TRS-configuration-ID1;

[0202] TRS-configuration2=》TRS-configuration-ID2;

[0203] TRS-configuration3=》TRS-configuration-ID3

[0204] }.

[0205] Step S75: The base station sends a single IE that is not configured in the combined configuration.

[0206] Here, the base station sends indication information, which is used to indicate a single IE that is not configured in the combined configuration. The indication information can be carried in the configuration information and sent. Therefore, when sending a resource set, its IE can be divided into two parts, one is the IE that is already included in the combined configuration, and the other is the IE that is not configured in the combined configuration; the latter part can be sent directly, and for the IE in the combined configuration, it is necessary to send the index corresponding to the combined configuration entity. For example, as shown in the following example:

[0207]
