[0027] The following explains some concepts and / or terms involved in the resource processing method, apparatus, communication equipment and storage medium provided in the embodiments of the present application.

[0028] The following provisions exist for the activation or deactivation time of the Semi-Persistent Sounding Reference Signal (SRS) through MAC CE signaling (also understood as the effective time of MAC CE signaling):

[0029] When a UE receives an activation command (a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) carrying MAC CE signaling for activating a semi-persistent SRS resource or SRS set), for one SRS resource, the Hybrid Automatic Repeat Request-Acknowledgement (HARQ-ACK) information carried by the Physical Uplink Control Channel (PUCCH) corresponding to the PDSCH (MAC CE signaling) is sent in slot n, then the UE assumes that the effective time of the SRS transmission corresponding to the configured SRS set is from It starts from the first slot after , where μ is the sub-carrier spacing (SCS) of PUCCH.

[0030] When a UE receives a deactivation command (PDSCH carrying MAC CE signaling for deactivating a semi-persistent SRS resource or SRS set), for an SRS resource, the HARQ-ACK information carried by the PUCCH corresponding to the PDSCH (MAC CE signaling) is sent on slot n, then the UE assumes that the effective time of the SRS suspension transmission corresponding to the configured SRS set is from It starts from the first slot after , where μ is the SCS of PUCCH.

[0031] For the SRS resources of flexible antenna switching, the SRS resources can be activated or deactivated through MAC CE signaling.

[0032] For the semi-persistent channel state information reference signal (CSI-RS), including the tracking reference signal (TRS), the zero power channel state information reference signal (Zero Power Channel State Information Reference Signal, ZP-CSI-RS) and the non-zero power channel state information reference signal (NZP-CSI-RS), its effective time is similar to that of the SRS resource. For details, please refer to the relevant description of the SRS resource, which will not be repeated here.

[0033] The resource processing method provided in the embodiments of the present application is described in detail below through some embodiments and their application scenarios.

[0034] During the process of UE sending reference signal resources, the network side device can activate or deactivate the resources configured on a certain time slot through the media access control layer MAC CE signaling. At present, the relevant protocols do not support the configuration of reference signal resources on multiple time slots in one transmission cycle. Based on the feedback of channel state information, there may be new reference signal mode requirements. The new reference signal mode may require the reference signal to configure resources on multiple time slots in one transmission cycle. In order to meet the reference signal mode requirements, when there is a reference signal configuration resource appearing on multiple time slots, and the effective time of the MAC CE signaling is at the end position of a time slot (excluding the last time slot) or the starting position of a time slot (excluding the first time slot) (that is, the configuration resource of the reference signal is truncated by the effective time), how to determine whether to send the configuration resource and which resources of the configuration resource to send is an urgent problem to be solved.

[0035] In an embodiment of the present application, in the case where the first resource is truncated by the effective time of the target signaling, the communication device can perform the target action according to the target signaling, and the target action is any one of the following: sending the first resource, not sending the first resource, sending the second resource, and suspending sending the second resource. The first resource is a resource within a transmission cycle of the reference signal, and the resources within a transmission cycle of the reference signal are configured on at least two time slots. The second resource includes any one of the following: a resource after the effective time in the first resource, a target sub-resource truncated by the effective time in the first resource, and a third resource. The third resource includes a target sub-resource truncated by the effective time in the first resource and a resource after the target sub-resource in the first resource. Through this solution, in the case where the resource within a transmission cycle of the reference signal is truncated by the effective time of the target signaling, the communication device can send the resource, not send the resource, send some of the resources, or suspend sending some of the resources according to the target signaling, thereby avoiding the problem that the communication device cannot determine whether it needs to send the resource and which resources of the resource to send, thereby improving the efficiency of the communication device in sending resources.

[0036] The embodiment of the present application provides a resource processing method. Figure 2 FIG. 1 shows a flow chart of a resource processing method provided by an embodiment of the present application. Figure 2 As shown, the resource processing method provided in the embodiment of the present application may include the following steps 201 and 202.

[0037] Step 201: The communication device obtains target signaling.

[0038] Optionally, in an embodiment of the present application, the above-mentioned communication device may be a UE or a network-side device. In one implementation, the network-side device may send target signaling to the UE, and the UE receives the target signaling sent by the network-side device; in another implementation, the UE may send target signaling to the network-side device, and the network-side device may receive the target signaling sent by the UE.

[0039] Optionally, in an embodiment of the present application, the target signaling may be MAC CE signaling or any other possible signaling. The target signaling may be used to activate, deactivate, or pre-activate a reference signal. It should be noted that pre-activation may be understood as meaning that only pre-activated reference signal resources can be activated by subsequent signaling.

[0040] Optionally, in the embodiment of the present application, the reference signal may be a CSI-RS, an SRS, or a TRS, which may be determined based on actual use requirements and is not limited in the embodiment of the present application.

[0041] Optionally, in an embodiment of the present application, the effective time of the activation corresponding to the target signaling is: the HARQ-ACK information carried by the PUCCH or the physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) corresponding to the PDSCH (MAC CE signaling) is sent on slot n, then it is assumed that the effective time of the activation command starts from the first slot after slot n+Y.

[0042] Optionally, in an embodiment of the present application, the effective time of the deactivation corresponding to the target signaling is: the HARQ-ACK information carried by the PUCCH or PUSCH corresponding to the PDSCH (MAC CE signaling) is sent on slot n, then it is assumed that the effective time of the deactivation command starts from the first slot after slot n+Y.

[0043] Optionally, in the embodiment of the present application, Y can be It may be a value reported by the communication device or a value agreed upon by the protocol, where μ is the SCS corresponding to the HARQ-ACK. The specific value may be determined based on actual usage requirements and is not limited in the present embodiment.

[0044] Step 202: When the first resource is cut off by the validity period of the target signaling, the communication device executes the target action according to the target signaling.

[0045] In the embodiment of the present application, the target action is any one of the following: sending the first resource, not sending the first resource, sending the second resource, or suspending sending the second resource. The first resource is a resource within a transmission period of a reference signal, and the resource within a transmission period of the reference signal is configured over at least two time slots. The second resource includes any one of the following: a resource located after the effective time of the first resource, a sub-resource of the first resource that is truncated by the effective time, and a third resource, wherein the third resource includes a target sub-resource of the first resource that is truncated by the effective time and a resource located after the target sub-resource of the first resource.

[0046] It should be noted that the sending resources (such as the first resource and the second resource) described in the embodiment of the present application can be understood as: sending a reference signal on the resource.

[0047] It should be noted that the first resource is truncated by the effective time of the target signaling, which can be understood as: the first resource appears in multiple time slots, and the effective time of the target signaling is at the end position of a time slot (excluding the last time slot) among the multiple time slots or the starting position of a time slot (excluding the first time slot).

[0048] Optionally, in an embodiment of the present application, a reference signal includes resources within at least one sending cycle, and the first resource is a resource within one of the sending cycles.

[0049] Optionally, in the embodiment of the present application, the reference signal may be a periodic signal, a semi-continuous signal, or a non-periodic signal. Specific examples may be determined based on actual usage requirements and are not limited in the embodiment of the present application.

[0050] It should be noted that the method for the communication device to perform the target action according to the target signaling will be described in the following embodiments and will not be repeated here.

[0051] Optionally, in an embodiment of the present application, in a first implementation manner, when the first resource is truncated by the effective time of the target signaling, the UE may perform any one of the following according to the target signaling: sending the first resource, not sending the first resource, sending the second resource, or suspending sending the second resource. For example, the UE may send the first resource (e.g., SRS resource) to the network side device, and the network side device receives the first resource sent by the UE. In a second implementation manner, when the first resource is truncated by the effective time of the target signaling, the network side device may perform any one of the following according to the target signaling: sending the first resource, not sending the first resource, sending the second resource, or suspending sending the second resource. For example, the network side device may send the first resource (e.g., CSI-RS resource) to the UE, and the UE receives the first resource sent by the network side device.

[0052] For example, Figure 3As shown, taking the communication device as UE, the first resource as SRS resource, and the communication device executing the sending of the first resource as an example, the resource processing method provided in the embodiment of the present application is specifically described.

[0053] Step 21: When the SRS resource is cut off by the effective time of the target signaling, the UE sends the SRS resource to the network side device according to the target signaling.

[0054] Step 22: The network-side device receives the SRS resources sent by the UE.

[0055] For example, Figure 4 As shown, taking the communication device as a network side device, the first resource as a CSI-RS resource, and the communication device executing the sending of the first resource as an example, the resource processing method provided in the embodiment of the present application is specifically described.

[0056] Step 31: When the CSI-RS resource is cut off by the validity period of the target signaling, the network side device sends the CSI-RS resource to the UE according to the target signaling.

[0057] Step 32: The UE receives the CSI-RS resources sent by the network-side device.

[0058] Optionally, in an embodiment of the present application, the above-mentioned target action can be determined by at least one of the following: protocol agreement, communication device indication, information reported by the communication device, reference signal mode, and configuration method of the first resource, and the information is used to indicate the action to be performed by the communication device.

[0059] Optionally, in an embodiment of the present application, the network side device may instruct the UE which action to perform, so that the UE performs the action instructed by the network side device. Alternatively, the UE may report the action to be performed by the UE to the network side device, and then perform the action.

[0060] It should be noted that, when the communication device is a network side device, the network side device sends or does not send the first resource, and for the UE, the UE expects to receive the first resource or does not expect to receive the first resource; the network side device sends or stops sending the second resource, and for the UE, the UE expects to receive the second resource or does not expect to receive the second resource.

[0061] Optionally, in an embodiment of the present application, "the communication device performs a target action according to the target signaling" in the above step 202 can be specifically implemented through the following step 202a or step 202b.

[0062] Step 202a: When the target signaling is used to indicate activation of the reference signal, the communication device performs a first action.

[0063] In an embodiment of the present application, the first action is any one of the following: sending the first resource, not sending the first resource, and sending the second resource.

[0064] Step 202b: When the target signaling is used to indicate deactivation of the reference signal, the communication device performs a second action.

[0065] In an embodiment of the present application, the second action is any one of the following: sending the first resource, not sending the first resource, and suspending sending the second resource.

[0066] In an embodiment of the present application, when the resources within a transmission cycle of the reference signal are truncated by the effective time of the target signaling, the communication device can determine the action to be performed based on the content indicated by the target signaling, thereby avoiding the problem that the communication device cannot determine whether to send the resource and which resources to send, thereby improving the efficiency of the communication device in sending resources.

[0067] Optionally, in an embodiment of the present application, the target signaling is used to indicate activation of a reference signal. Not sending the first resource includes not sending the first resource and sending a resource located after the first resource. Sending the first resource includes sending the first resource and sending a resource located after the first resource.

[0068] It should be noted that the resources located after the first resource can be understood as: the transmission period of the reference signal is after the transmission period of the first resource.

[0069] For example, Figure 5 As shown, when the target signaling is used to indicate activation of the reference signal, the communication device does not send the first resource, the communication device may not send the reference signal resource of the xth transmission cycle, and normally send the reference signal resource of the x+1th transmission cycle and thereafter.

[0070] Again illustratively, in combination Figure 5 In the case where the target signaling is used to indicate activation of the reference signal, the communication device sends the first resource, and the communication device can normally send the reference signal resource of the xth transmission cycle, and normally send the reference signal resource of the x+1th transmission cycle and thereafter.

[0071] In an embodiment of the present application, the communication device may, based on the target signaling, not send the first resource, but only send the resources located after the first resource, or send the resources located after the first resource at the same time as sending the first resource, thereby avoiding the problem that the communication device cannot determine whether to send the resource and which resources to send, thereby improving the efficiency of the communication device in sending resources.

[0072] Optionally, in an embodiment of the present application, the target signaling is used to indicate deactivation of a reference signal. Sending the first resource includes sending the first resource and suspending sending resources subsequent to the first resource. Not sending the first resource includes not sending the first resource and not sending resources subsequent to the first resource. Suspending sending the second resource includes suspending sending the second resource and sending resources of the first resource prior to the effective time.

[0073] It should be noted that, for the description of the resources located after the first resource, please refer to the relevant description of step 202a1 in the above embodiment, which will not be repeated here.

[0074] For example, in combination Figure 5 In the case where the target signaling is used to indicate deactivation of the reference signal, the communication device sends the first resource, the communication device can normally send the reference signal resource of the xth sending cycle, and stop sending the reference signal resource of the x+1th sending cycle and thereafter.

[0075] Again illustratively, in combination Figure 5 In the case where the target signaling is used to indicate deactivation of the reference signal, the communication device does not send the first resource, and the communication device may stop sending the reference signal resource for the xth sending period, and stop sending the reference signal resource for the x+1th sending period and thereafter.

[0076] For example, in combination Figure 5 In the case where the target signaling is used to indicate deactivation of the reference signal, the communication device stops sending the second resource. The communication device may stop sending the resources of the reference signal resources of the xth transmission period that are located after the effective time and the reference signal resources of the x+1th transmission period, and send the resources of the reference signal resources of the xth transmission period that are located before the effective time.

[0077] In an embodiment of the present application, the communication device can send the first resource according to the target signaling and stop sending the resources located after the first resource, or not send the first resource and the resources located after the first resource, or stop sending the second resource and send the resources in the first resource that are located before the effective time, thereby avoiding the problem that the communication device cannot determine whether to send the resource and which resources to send, thereby improving the efficiency of the communication device in sending resources.

[0078] Optionally, in an embodiment of the present application, the second resource may include a resource in the first resource that is located after the effective time, a target sub-resource in the first resource that is truncated by the effective time, or a target sub-resource in the first resource that is truncated by the effective time and a resource in the first resource that is located after the target sub-resource. The specific number can be determined based on actual usage requirements and is not limited in the embodiment of the present application.

[0079] Optionally, in an embodiment of the present application, the resources in the first resource located after the effective time include at least one of the following: continuous sub-resources in the first resource located after the effective time, and complete sub-resources in the first resource located after the effective time. The target sub-resources in the first resource that are truncated by the effective time include at least one of the following: continuous sub-resources that are truncated by the effective time, and complete sub-resources that are truncated by the effective time. Continuous sub-resources are resources that are continuous in the time domain and / or occupy the same subcarrier position or the same resource block position in the frequency domain, and complete sub-resources are resources with at least one complete attribute.

[0080] Optionally, in an embodiment of the present application, the resources in the first resource that are located after the effective time may include continuous sub-resources in the first resource that are located after the effective time, or include complete sub-resources in the first resource that are located after the effective time, or include continuous sub-resources in the first resource that are located after the effective time and complete sub-resources in the first resource that are located after the effective time.

[0081] Optionally, in an embodiment of the present application, the target sub-resource in the first resource that is truncated by the effective time may include a continuous sub-resource that is truncated by the effective time, or include a complete sub-resource that is truncated by the effective time, or include a continuous sub-resource that is truncated by the effective time and a complete sub-resource that is truncated by the effective time.

[0082] It should be noted that continuous sub-resources can be understood as: a resource is configured on multiple time slots and is not a non-continuous time resource configuration. For this resource, multiple non-continuous time resources within a transmission cycle in the time domain are called reference signal sub-resources, and a continuous sub-resource in the time domain is called a continuous reference signal sub-resource.

[0083] A complete sub-resource can be understood as a resource configured across multiple time slots and with resource attributes configured across at least one time unit. For this resource, the multiple time units within a transmission cycle in the time domain are collectively referred to as a complete reference signal sub-resource. Resource attributes can include ports, number of symbols, and number of repetitions. Configuring resource attributes across multiple time units means, for example, that a 4-port SRS is configured with 8 symbols, each carrying a port. The first 4 symbols constitute a complete reference signal sub-resource, and the last 4 symbols constitute another complete reference signal sub-resource.

[0084] Optionally, in an embodiment of the present application, the network side device may instruct the UE to send certain resources, so that the UE sends the resources instructed by the network side device. Alternatively, the UE may report the resources to be sent by the UE to the network side device and then send the resources.

[0085] The following describes which resources are specifically included in the second resource in the resource processing method provided in the embodiment of the present application.

[0086] Optionally, in an embodiment of the present application, the first resource includes multiple non-contiguous sub-resources, each of which is a continuous and complete reference signal sub-resource. When the second resource includes continuous sub-resources located after the effective time of the first resource and / or complete sub-resources located after the effective time of the first resource, the second resource specifically includes a sub-resource located after the first sub-resource of the first resource, and the first sub-resource is a sub-resource of the first resource that is truncated by the effective time.

[0087] For example, Figure 6 As shown, assuming that the first resource includes 4 non-contiguous sub-resources (i.e., sub-resource 1, sub-resource 2, sub-resource 3 and sub-resource 4), each sub-resource is a continuous and complete reference signal sub-resource, and when sub-resource 2 (i.e., the first sub-resource) is truncated by the effective time of the target signaling, if the target signaling is used to activate the first resource, the communication device may not send sub-resource 1 and sub-resource 2, but send sub-resource 3 and sub-resource 4 normally; if the target signaling is used to deactivate the first resource, the communication device may send sub-resource 1 and sub-resource 2 normally, and stop sending sub-resource 3 and sub-resource 4.

[0088] Optionally, in an embodiment of the present application, the first resource includes multiple non-contiguous sub-resources, each of which is a continuous and complete reference signal sub-resource. When the second resource includes a continuous sub-resource that is truncated by the effective time and a continuous sub-resource located after the effective time in the first resource, and / or a complete sub-resource that is truncated by the effective time and a complete sub-resource located after the effective time in the first resource, the second resource specifically includes the first sub-resource and the sub-resource located after the first sub-resource in the first resource, and the first sub-resource is the sub-resource in the first resource that is truncated by the effective time.

[0089] For example, in combination Figure 6 , assuming that the first resource includes four non-contiguous sub-resources (i.e., sub-resource 1, sub-resource 2, sub-resource 3, and sub-resource 4), each sub-resource is a continuous and complete reference signal sub-resource, and when sub-resource 2 (i.e., the first sub-resource) is truncated by the effective time of the target signaling, if the target signaling is used to activate the first resource, the communication device may not send sub-resource 1, but send sub-resource 2, sub-resource 3, and sub-resource 4 normally; if the target signaling is used to deactivate the first resource, the communication device may send sub-resource 1 normally, but stop sending sub-resource 2, sub-resource 3, and sub-resource 4.

[0090] Optionally, in an embodiment of the present application, the first resource includes multiple non-contiguous sub-resources, each of which is a continuous reference signal sub-resource. When the second resource includes a continuous sub-resource located after the effective time of the first resource, the second resource specifically includes a continuous sub-resource located after the second sub-resource in the first resource, and the second sub-resource is a sub-resource in the first resource that is truncated by the effective time.

[0091] For example, Figure 7 As shown, it is assumed that the first resource includes 8 non-contiguous sub-resources (i.e., sub-resource 1, sub-resource 2, sub-resource 3, sub-resource 4, sub-resource 5, sub-resource 6, sub-resource 7 and sub-resource 8), each sub-resource is a continuous reference signal sub-resource, and when sub-resource 5 (i.e., the second sub-resource) is truncated by the effective time of the target signaling, if the target signaling is used to activate the first resource, the communication device may not send sub-resource 1, sub-resource 2, sub-resource 3, sub-resource 4 and sub-resource 5, but send sub-resource 6, sub-resource 7 and sub-resource 8 normally; if the target signaling is used to deactivate the first resource, the communication device may send sub-resource 1, sub-resource 2, sub-resource 3, sub-resource 4 and sub-resource 5 normally, and stop sending sub-resource 6, sub-resource 7 and sub-resource 8.

[0092] Optionally, in an embodiment of the present application, the first resource includes multiple complete sub-resources. When the second resource includes a complete sub-resource in the first resource that is located after the effective time, the second resource specifically includes a complete sub-resource in the first resource that is located after the third sub-resource, where the third sub-resource is the sub-resource in the first resource that is truncated by the effective time.

[0093] For example, in combination Figure 7 , assuming that the first resource includes 2 complete sub-resources (i.e., sub-resource 1, sub-resource 2, sub-resource 3 and sub-resource 4 are the first complete sub-resource, and sub-resource 5, sub-resource 6, sub-resource 7 and sub-resource 8 are the second complete sub-resource), when the second complete sub-resource (i.e., the third sub-resource) is truncated by the effective time of the target signaling, if the target signaling is used to activate the first resource, the communication device does not send the first complete sub-resource and the second complete sub-resource; if the target signaling is used to deactivate the first resource, the communication device sends the first complete sub-resource and the second complete sub-resource normally.

[0094] Optionally, in an embodiment of the present application, the first resource includes multiple non-contiguous sub-resources, each of which is a continuous reference signal sub-resource. Where the second resource includes a continuous sub-resource that is interrupted by the effective time and a continuous sub-resource located after the effective time in the first resource, the second resource specifically includes the second sub-resource and a continuous sub-resource located after the second sub-resource in the first resource, where the second sub-resource is the sub-resource interrupted by the effective time in the first resource.

[0095] For example, in combination Figure 7 , assuming that the first resource includes 8 non-contiguous sub-resources (i.e., sub-resource 1, sub-resource 2, sub-resource 3, sub-resource 4, sub-resource 5, sub-resource 6, sub-resource 7 and sub-resource 8), each sub-resource is a continuous reference signal sub-resource, and when sub-resource 5 (i.e., the second sub-resource) is truncated by the effective time of the target signaling, if the target signaling is used to activate the first resource, the communication device may not send sub-resource 1, sub-resource 2, sub-resource 3, sub-resource 4, but send sub-resource 5, sub-resource 6, sub-resource 7 and sub-resource 8 normally; if the target signaling is used to deactivate the first resource, the communication device may send sub-resource 1, sub-resource 2, sub-resource 3, sub-resource 4 normally, but stop sending sub-resource 5, sub-resource 6, sub-resource 7 and sub-resource 8.

[0096] Optionally, in an embodiment of the present application, the first resource includes multiple complete sub-resources. If the second resource includes a complete sub-resource truncated by the effective time and a complete sub-resource of the first resource located after the effective time, the second resource specifically includes a third sub-resource and a complete sub-resource of the first resource located after the third sub-resource, where the third sub-resource is the sub-resource of the first resource truncated by the effective time.

[0097] For example, in combination Figure 7 , assuming that the first resource includes 2 complete sub-resources (i.e., sub-resource 1, sub-resource 2, sub-resource 3 and sub-resource 4 are the first complete sub-resource, and sub-resource 5, sub-resource 6, sub-resource 7 and sub-resource 8 are the second complete sub-resource), when the second complete sub-resource (i.e., the third sub-resource) is truncated by the effective time of the target signaling, if the target signaling is used to activate the first resource, the communication device does not send the first complete sub-resource, but sends the second complete sub-resource normally; if the target signaling is used to deactivate the first resource, the communication device sends the first complete sub-resource normally, and stops sending the second complete sub-resource.

[0098] Optionally, in an embodiment of the present application, the first resource includes multiple sub-resources. When the second resource includes resources in the first resource that are located after the effective time, the second resource specifically includes resources in the fourth sub-resource that are located after the effective time and sub-resources in the first resource that are located after the fourth sub-resource, and the fourth sub-resource is the sub-resource in the first resource that is truncated by the effective time.

[0099] For example, in combination Figure 6 , assuming that the first resource includes 4 sub-resources (i.e., sub-resource 1, sub-resource 2, sub-resource 3, and sub-resource 4), when sub-resource 2 (i.e., the fourth sub-resource) is truncated by the effective time of the target signaling, if the target signaling is used to activate the first resource, the communication device may not send the resources of sub-resource 1 and sub-resource 2 that are located before the effective time, and normally send the resources of sub-resource 2 that are located after the effective time, sub-resource 3, and sub-resource 4; if the target signaling is used to deactivate the first resource, the communication device may normally send the resources of sub-resource 1 and sub-resource 2 that are located before the effective time, and stop sending the resources of sub-resource 2 that are located after the effective time, sub-resource 3, and sub-resource 4.

[0100] Optionally, in an embodiment of the present application, the communication device sends the resource located after the first resource while sending the second resource; or, the communication device stops sending the resource located after the first resource while stopping sending the second resource.

[0101] An embodiment of the present application provides a resource processing method. In the case where a first resource is truncated by the effective time of a target signaling, the communication device can perform a target action according to the target signaling. The target action is any one of the following: sending the first resource, not sending the first resource, sending the second resource, or suspending sending the second resource. The first resource is a resource within a transmission period of a reference signal. The resources within a transmission period of the reference signal are configured on at least two time slots. The second resource includes any one of the following: a resource after the effective time in the first resource, a target sub-resource truncated by the effective time in the first resource, and a third resource. The third resource includes a target sub-resource truncated by the effective time in the first resource and a resource after the target sub-resource in the first resource. In this solution, in the case where a resource within a transmission period of a reference signal is truncated by the effective time of the target signaling, the communication device can send the resource, not send the resource, send some of the resources, or suspend sending some of the resources according to the target signaling, thereby avoiding the problem that the communication device cannot determine whether it needs to send the resource and which resources of the resource to send, thereby improving the efficiency of the communication device in sending resources.

[0102] The resource processing method provided in the embodiment of the present application is described below in two cases according to target signaling.

[0103] In the first case, a reference signal configured across time slot resources is activated through target signaling. When a certain sending resource of the reference signal (i.e., the first resource) is truncated by the effective time of the target signaling used for activation, at least one of the following resources for sending the reference signal is used.

[0104] Method 1: All the reference signal transmission resources are not transmitted.

[0105] Method 2: Among the resources for currently transmitting the reference signal, the resources located after the effective time can be transmitted.

[0106] Method 3: In the currently transmitted reference signal resources, the consecutive reference signal sub-resources located after the effective time can be transmitted.

[0107] Method 4: In the reference signal transmission resource currently being transmitted, the complete reference signal sub-resource located after the effective time can be transmitted.

[0108] Method 5: If part of the continuous reference signal sub-resources in the currently transmitted reference signal resources is located after the effective time, the truncated continuous sub-resources and subsequent continuous sub-resources can be sent normally.

[0109] Method 6: If part of the reference signal resources currently being sent that contain complete reference signal sub-resources is located after the effective time, both the truncated complete sub-resources and subsequent complete sub-resources can be sent normally.

[0110] Method 7: If some of the reference signal resources sent this time are located after the effective time, all the resources sent this time can be sent.

[0111] In the second case, a reference signal configured across time slot resources is activated through target signaling. When a certain sending resource of the reference signal (i.e., the first resource) is truncated by the effective time of the target signaling used for deactivation, at least one of the following items is used to stop sending the reference signal resource.

[0112] Method 1: All transmission resources of the reference signal are stopped.

[0113] Method 2: The transmission resources of the reference signal that are located after the effective time in the current transmission resource are stopped from being transmitted.

[0114] Method 3: The transmission of the consecutive reference signal sub-resources located after the effective time in the current transmission resource of the reference signal is stopped.

[0115] Method 4: The transmission of the complete reference signal sub-resources located after the effective time in the current transmission resource of the reference signal is stopped.

[0116] Method 5: If part of the reference signal sub-resources that are continuous in the currently transmitted resources are located after the effective time, the transmission of the truncated continuous sub-resources and subsequent sub-resources is stopped.

[0117] Method 6: If part of the reference signal resources currently transmitted that include complete reference signal sub-resources is after the effective time, the transmission of the truncated complete sub-resources and subsequent sub-resources is terminated.

[0118] Method 7: The current transmission resources of the reference signal are transmitted normally, and the transmission of resources in subsequent cycles is stopped.

[0119] It should be noted that the methods used to activate reference signal resources and deactivate reference signal resources can be the same or different. That is, when the reference signal resources are activated through target signaling, the communication device can use method 1 to send the reference signal resources; when the reference signal resources are deactivated through target signaling, the communication device can use method 2 to stop sending the reference signal resources.

[0120] Optionally, in an embodiment of the present application, the method used to activate reference signal resources and deactivate reference signal resources may be determined by at least one of the following: protocol agreement, communication device indication, information reported by the communication device, different reference signal types, different reference signal modes, or different reference signal configuration methods. For example, reference signals configured in a non-time domain continuous manner adopt method 3, and reference signals configured in a time domain non-contiguous attribute adopt method 6.

[0121] It should be noted that the resource processing method provided in the embodiment of the present application can also be executed by a resource processing device, or a control module in the resource processing device for executing the resource processing method.

[0122] Figure 8 FIG. 1 shows a possible structural diagram of a resource processing device involved in an embodiment of the present application. Figure 8 As shown, the resource processing device 80 may include: an acquisition module 81 and an execution module 82.

[0123] The acquisition module 81 is configured to acquire target signaling. The execution module 82 is configured to, when the first resource is truncated by the effective time of the target signaling, execute a target action according to the target signaling. The target action is any one of the following: sending the first resource, not sending the first resource, sending the second resource, or suspending sending the second resource. The first resource is a resource within a transmission cycle of a reference signal, and the resources within a transmission cycle of the reference signal are configured in at least two time slots. The second resource includes any one of the following: a resource in the first resource that is located after the effective time, a target sub-resource in the first resource that is truncated by the effective time, and a third resource, wherein the third resource includes a target sub-resource in the first resource that is truncated by the effective time and a resource in the first resource that is located after the target sub-resource.

[0124] In one possible implementation, the target signaling is used to indicate activation of a reference signal. Not sending the first resource includes not sending the first resource and sending a resource located after the first resource. Sending the first resource includes sending the first resource and sending a resource located after the first resource.

[0125] In one possible implementation, the target signaling is used to indicate deactivation of a reference signal. Sending the first resource includes sending the first resource and suspending transmission of resources subsequent to the first resource. Not sending the first resource includes not sending the first resource and not sending resources subsequent to the first resource. Suspending transmission of the second resource includes suspending transmission of the second resource and sending resources of the first resource prior to an effective time.

[0126] In one possible implementation, the resources in the first resource located after the effective time include at least one of the following: continuous sub-resources in the first resource located after the effective time, and complete sub-resources in the first resource located after the effective time. The target sub-resources in the first resource that are truncated by the effective time include at least one of the following: continuous sub-resources that are truncated by the effective time, and complete sub-resources that are truncated by the effective time. Continuous sub-resources are resources that are continuous in the time domain and / or occupy the same subcarrier position or the same resource block position in the frequency domain, and complete sub-resources are resources with at least one complete attribute.

[0127] In one possible implementation, the first resource includes multiple non-contiguous sub-resources, each of which is a continuous and complete reference signal sub-resource. When the second resource includes continuous sub-resources located after the validity time of the first resource and / or complete sub-resources located after the validity time of the first resource, the second resource specifically includes a sub-resource located after the first sub-resource of the first resource, and the first sub-resource is a sub-resource of the first resource that is truncated by the validity time.

[0128] In one possible implementation, the first resource includes multiple non-contiguous sub-resources, each of which is a continuous and complete reference signal sub-resource. When the second resource includes a continuous sub-resource that is truncated by the effective time and a continuous sub-resource located after the effective time in the first resource, and / or a complete sub-resource that is truncated by the effective time and a complete sub-resource located after the effective time in the first resource, the second resource specifically includes the first sub-resource and a sub-resource located after the first sub-resource in the first resource, and the first sub-resource is the sub-resource in the first resource that is truncated by the effective time.

[0129] In one possible implementation, the first resource includes multiple non-contiguous sub-resources, each of which is a contiguous reference signal sub-resource. When the second resource includes contiguous sub-resources located after the validity time of the first resource, the second resource specifically includes contiguous sub-resources located after the second sub-resource in the first resource, and the second sub-resource is a sub-resource in the first resource that is truncated by the validity time.

[0130] In one possible implementation, the first resource includes multiple complete sub-resources. When the second resource includes a complete sub-resource in the first resource that is located after the effective time, the second resource specifically includes a complete sub-resource in the first resource that is located after the third sub-resource, where the third sub-resource is the sub-resource in the first resource that is truncated by the effective time.

[0131] In one possible implementation, the first resource includes multiple non-contiguous sub-resources, each of which is a continuous reference signal sub-resource. When the second resource includes a continuous sub-resource that is interrupted by the validity period and a continuous sub-resource located after the validity period of the first resource, the second resource specifically includes the second sub-resource and a continuous sub-resource located after the second sub-resource of the first resource, and the second sub-resource is the sub-resource of the first resource that is interrupted by the validity period.

[0132] In one possible implementation, the first resource includes multiple complete sub-resources. If the second resource includes a complete sub-resource truncated by the effective time and a complete sub-resource of the first resource located after the effective time, the second resource specifically includes a third sub-resource and a complete sub-resource of the first resource located after the third sub-resource, where the third sub-resource is the sub-resource of the first resource truncated by the effective time.

[0133] In one possible implementation, the first resource includes multiple sub-resources. When the second resource includes resources in the first resource that are located after the effective time, the second resource specifically includes resources in the fourth sub-resource that are located after the effective time and sub-resources in the first resource that are located after the fourth sub-resource, where the fourth sub-resource is the sub-resource in the first resource that is truncated by the effective time.

[0134] In one possible implementation, the target action is determined by at least one of the following: protocol agreement, communication device indication, target information reported by the communication device, reference signal mode, and configuration method of the first resource, where the target information is used to indicate the resources to be sent by the communication device.

[0135] An embodiment of the present application provides a resource processing device. When the resources within a transmission cycle of a reference signal are truncated by the effective time of the target signaling, the resource processing device can, according to the target signaling, send the resource, not send the resource, send some of the resources, or stop sending some of the resources. This avoids the problem that the resource processing device cannot determine whether the resource needs to be sent and which resources of the resources need to be sent, thereby improving the efficiency of the resource processing device in sending resources.

[0136] The resource processing device in the embodiments of the present application can be a device, a device or a communication device having an operating system, or a component, an integrated circuit, or a chip in a communication device. The device or communication device can be a mobile terminal or a non-mobile terminal.

For example, when the communication device 600 is a UE or a network-side device, the program or instruction is executed by the processor 601 to implement the various processes of the above-mentioned method embodiment and to achieve the same technical effect. To avoid repetition, it will not be repeated here.

[0139] An embodiment of the present application also provides a UE, including a processor and a communication interface, the communication interface being used to perform a target action according to the target signaling when the first resource is truncated by the effective time of the target signaling, the target action being any one of the following: sending the first resource, not sending the first resource, sending the second resource, and suspending sending the second resource. The above-mentioned first resource is a resource within a transmission cycle of the reference signal, and the resources within a transmission cycle of the reference signal are configured on at least two time slots, and the above-mentioned second resource includes any one of the following: a resource in the first resource that is located after the effective time, a target sub-resource in the first resource that is truncated by the effective time, and a third resource, the third resource including a target sub-resource in the first resource that is truncated by the effective time and a resource in the first resource that is located after the target sub-resource. Each implementation process and implementation method of the above-mentioned method embodiment can be applied to the UE embodiment and can achieve the same technical effect. Specifically, Figure 10 A schematic diagram of the hardware structure of a UE for implementing an embodiment of the present application.

[0141] Those skilled in the art will appreciate that the UE 100 may further include a power source (such as a battery) for supplying power to various components. The power source may be logically connected to the processor 110 through a power management system, thereby enabling the power management system to manage functions such as charging, discharging, and power consumption. Figure 10 The UE structure shown in the figure does not constitute a limitation to the UE. The UE may include more or fewer components than shown in the figure, or combine certain components, or arrange the components differently, which will not be repeated here.

[0142] It should be understood that in an embodiment of the present application, the input unit 104 may include a graphics processing unit (GPU) 1041 and a microphone 1042, and the graphics processor 1041 processes the image data of a static picture or video obtained by an image capture device (such as a camera) in a video capture mode or an image capture mode. The display unit 106 may include a display panel 1061, and the display panel 1061 may be configured in the form of a liquid crystal display, an organic light emitting diode, etc. The user input unit 107 includes a touch panel 1071 and other input devices 1072.

The memory 109 may mainly include a program or instruction storage area and a data storage area, wherein the program or instruction storage area can store an operating system, at least one application program or instruction required for a function (such as a sound playback function, an image playback function, etc.). In addition, the memory 109 may include a high-speed random access memory and may also include a non-volatile memory, wherein the non-volatile memory may be a read-only memory (ROM), a programmable read-only memory (PROM), an erasable programmable read-only memory (EPROM), an electrically erasable programmable read-only memory (EEPROM), or a flash memory. For example, at least one disk storage device, a flash memory device, or other non-volatile solid-state storage device.

[0145] Processor 110 may include one or more processing units. Optionally, processor 110 may integrate an application processor and a modem processor. The application processor primarily processes the operating system, user interface, and application programs or instructions, while the modem processor primarily handles wireless communications, such as a baseband processor. It is understood that the modem processor may not be integrated into processor 110.

[0146] The radio frequency unit 101 is configured to, when the first resource is truncated by the effective time of the target signaling, perform a target action according to the target signaling, the target action being any one of the following: sending the first resource, not sending the first resource, sending the second resource, or suspending sending the second resource. The first resource is a resource within a transmission cycle of a reference signal, where the resource within a transmission cycle of the reference signal is configured over at least two time slots. The second resource includes any one of the following: a resource in the first resource that is located after the effective time, a target sub-resource in the first resource that is truncated by the effective time, and a third resource, where the third resource includes the target sub-resource in the first resource that is truncated by the effective time and a resource in the first resource that is located after the target sub-resource.

[0147] An embodiment of the present application provides a UE. When the resources within a transmission period of a reference signal are truncated by the effective time of the target signaling, the UE can, according to the target signaling, send the resource, not send the resource, send some of the resources, or stop sending some of the resources. This avoids the problem that the communication device cannot determine whether the resource needs to be sent and which resources of the resource need to be sent, thereby improving the efficiency of the UE in sending resources.

[0148] The UE provided in the embodiment of the present application can implement each process implemented in the above method embodiment and achieve the same technical effect. To avoid repetition, it will not be repeated here.

[0149] The embodiment of the present application also provides a network side device, including a processor and a communication interface, the communication interface is used to perform a target action according to the target signaling when the first resource is truncated by the effective time of the target signaling, and the target action is any one of the following: sending the first resource, not sending the first resource, sending the second resource, and suspending sending the second resource.

The various implementation processes and implementation methods of the above-mentioned method embodiments are all applicable to the network side device embodiment and can achieve the same technical effect.

[0150] Specifically, the embodiment of the present application also provides a network side device. Figure 11As shown, network-side device 900 includes an antenna 91, a radio frequency device 92, and a baseband device 93. Antenna 91 is connected to radio frequency device 92. In the uplink direction, radio frequency device 92 receives information via antenna 91 and sends the received information to baseband device 93 for processing. In the downlink direction, baseband device 93 processes the information to be transmitted and sends it to radio frequency device 92. Radio frequency device 92 processes the received information and then sends it through antenna 91.

[0151] The radio frequency device 92 is configured to, when the first resource is truncated by the effective time of the target signaling, perform a target action according to the target signaling, the target action being any one of the following: sending the first resource, not sending the first resource, sending the second resource, or suspending sending the second resource. The first resource is a resource within a transmission cycle of a reference signal, where the resource within a transmission cycle of the reference signal is configured over at least two time slots. The second resource includes any one of the following: a resource within the first resource that is after the effective time, a target sub-resource within the first resource that is truncated by the effective time, and a third resource, where the third resource includes the target sub-resource within the first resource that is truncated by the effective time and a resource within the first resource that is after the target sub-resource.
