[0029] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present disclosure will be described clearly and completely below with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present disclosure. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present disclosure, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present disclosure, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative work fall within the scope of protection of the present disclosure.

[0030] The terms used in the embodiments of the present disclosure are merely for the purpose of describing particular embodiments and are not intended to limit the embodiments of the present disclosure. The singular forms "a," "an," and "the" used in the embodiments of the present disclosure and the appended claims are intended to include plural forms as well, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. It will be further understood that the terms "and / or" used herein include any and all possible combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.

[0031] It should be understood that, although the terms first, second, third, etc. can be employed in describing various information in the embodiments of the present disclosure, the information should not be limited to these terms. These terms are only used to distinguish one type of information from another type of information. For example, without departing from the scope of the embodiments of the present disclosure, first information can also be referred to as second information, and similarly, second information can also be referred to as first information. Depending on the context, the word "if" as used herein can be interpreted as meaning "when" or "in response to determining" or "in response to ascertaining".

[0032] For the purpose of brevity and clarity, the terms "greater than" or "less than", "higher than" or "lower than" are used herein to characterize the size relationship. However, it can be understood by those skilled in the art that the term "greater than" also covers the meaning of "greater than or equal to", and the term "less than" also covers the meaning of "less than or equal to"; the term "higher than" covers the meaning of "higher than or equal to", and the term "lower than" covers the meaning of "lower than or equal to".

[0033] When the network side device communicates based on the half duplex mode, interference generally only exists in the uplink resource, and the interference measurement work is mainly concentrated on the terminal side. For the downlink resource, such as the downlink slot of the time division duplex (TDD) frequency band, the downlink spectrum of the frequency division duplex (FDD) frequency band, only downlink transmission is used in the half duplex mode, so the current network side device will not perform interference measurement on these resources.

[0034] However, when the network side device communicates based on the full duplex mode, interference will exist on the downlink resource, so interference measurement needs to be performed on these resources. However, the terminal does not know which resources the network side device will perform interference measurement on, which will cause some technical problems, for example, the network side device will not transmit data or reference signals (RS) on the downlink on the resources on which interference measurement is performed, and if the terminal still receives data or reference signals on these resources, the resources of the terminal will be wasted, and even demodulation errors will occur.

[0035] Figure 1 is a schematic flowchart of a resource indication method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. The resource indication method shown in the embodiment can be performed by a network side device, which includes but is not limited to a network side device in a 4G, 5G, 6G, etc. communication system, such as a base station, a core network, etc., which can communicate with a terminal, which includes but is not limited to a mobile phone, a tablet computer, a wearable device, a sensor, an Internet of Things device, etc. communication device.

[0036] AsFigure 1 As shown, the resource indication method can include the following steps:

[0037] In step S101, determine the resource for interference measurement;

[0038] In step S102, send first indication information to the terminal, for indicating the configuration information of the resource.

[0039] In one embodiment, the network side device can determine the resource for interference measurement according to the need of interference measurement, for example, the resource includes downlink resource, specifically can include at least one of the following: downlink resource of time division duplex TDD frequency band (for example, downlink slot of time division duplex TDD frequency band); downlink resource of frequency division duplex FDD frequency band (for example, downlink spectrum of frequency division duplex FDD frequency band). Of course, the resource can further include uplink resource, for example, uplink resource of TDD frequency band (for example, uplink slot of TDD frequency band), uplink resource of FDD frequency band (for example, uplink spectrum of TDD frequency band), which can be determined according to the need of interference measurement. The following embodiments are mainly exemplarily described in the case that the resource is downlink resource.

[0040] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, the first indication information is used for the terminal to stop sending transmission (including data and / or reference signal) on the resource corresponding to the configuration information by the network side device. In another embodiment of the present disclosure, the first indication information is used for indicating the terminal to stop receiving transmission (including data and / or reference signal) on the resource corresponding to the configuration information, or not to receive transmission (including data and / or reference signal) on the resource corresponding to the configuration information. In still another embodiment of the present disclosure, the first indication information is used for indicating the terminal to perform rate matching on the resource, and stop receiving data and reference signal sent by the network side device on the resource.

[0041] In one embodiment, the network side device can communicate based on full duplex mode, and the full duplex mode refers to simultaneously performing uplink transmission and downlink transmission on the same frequency domain resource (for example, frequency band, carrier, subcarrier, bandwidth part, resource block, resource element, etc.). In one embodiment, the method further includes: stopping sending data and reference signal on the resource.

[0042] In the case that the network side device communicates based on full duplex mode, there can be interference on the above-mentioned downlink resource, so it is necessary to perform interference measurement on the resource, and when performing interference measurement, in order to obtain accurate measurement results, the network side device can stop sending data, reference signal and the like on the resource.

[0043] According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, after determining the resources for interference measurement, the network-side device can indicate the configuration information of the resources for interference measurement to the terminal through the first indication information, so that the terminal can determine the resources for interference measurement according to the configuration information, and thus it is not expected to receive data, reference signals and the like sent by the network-side device on the resources, for example, the terminal can perform rate matching on the resources to stop receiving data, reference signals and the like sent by the network-side device on the resources. In this way, the waste of resources of the terminal and the demodulation error and the like can be avoided.

[0044] In one embodiment, the first indication information comprises at least one of the following:

[0045] Downlink Control Information (DCI);

[0046] Media Access Control Control Element (MAC CE).

[0047] The network-side device can carry the configuration information of the resources in the DCI as the first indication information and send it to the terminal, or can carry the configuration information of the resources in the MAC CE as the first indication information and send it to the terminal.

[0048] In one embodiment, the DCI comprises common DCI.

[0049] The network-side device carries the configuration information of the resources in the common DCI as the first indication information and sends it to the terminal. Since the network-side device performs interference measurement on the resources, no terminal under the cell corresponding to the network-side device is expected to receive data, reference signals and the like sent by the network-side device on the resources. Therefore, the configuration information can be indicated to all terminals under the cell corresponding to the network-side device through the common DCI (for example, in a groupcast manner), without the need to indicate it to each terminal respectively, which is beneficial to save resources.

[0050] The DCI can be a newly defined DCI format, or the current DCI format can be used, for example, DCI format 1_1, DCI format 1_2 and the like.

[0051] In one embodiment, the configuration information comprises at least one of the following:

[0052] The frequency domain occupation information, the time domain occupation information, time domain resource range, pattern information of the frequency domain occupation information and the time domain occupation information. In some possible embodiments, the time-frequency resource range can be a time window length.

[0053] In one embodiment, the configuration information of the resource indicated by the network side device can consist of the frequency domain occupation information and the time domain occupation information, based on which the location of the resource in the frequency domain and the time domain can be determined, for example, the resource block (RB) corresponding to the frequency domain occupation information and the time domain occupation information in a certain time slot, or more specifically, the resource element (RE).

[0054] In one embodiment, the configuration information of the resource indicated by the network side device can also include the time domain resource range, based on which it can be determined in how many time slots the resource is determined based on the frequency domain occupation information and the time domain occupation information.

[0055] In one embodiment, the configuration information of the resource indicated by the network side device can also include the time domain resource range, based on which it can be determined in how many time slots the resource is determined based on the frequency domain occupation information and the time domain occupation information.

[0056] Time window identification Time window length 00 1 01 5 10 10 11 20

[0057] Table 1

[0058] As shown in Table 1, the terminal determines 4 time window lengths (i.e. time domain resource ranges) in advance, and the network side device can indicate the time window identifier with log2(W) bits, W is equal to 4 in the embodiment of Table 1, for example, the identifier is 01, based on Table 1, it can be determined that the corresponding time window length is 5, so it can be determined that there is a resource for interference measurement by the network side device in 5 time slots.

[0059] It can be understood that each element in Table 1 exists independently, these elements are exemplarily listed in the same table, but it does not mean that all elements in the table must exist at the same time according to the table. The value of each element is independent of the value of any other element in Table 1. Therefore, those skilled in the art can understand that the value of each element in Table 1 is an independent embodiment.

[0060] In addition, it should be noted that, in the case of indicating the time domain resource range by the MAC CE, since a period of time, for example, 3 ms, is required for the terminal to analyze the MAC CE, the starting time of the time domain resource range is at least 3 ms after the downlink time slot of the hybrid automatic repeat request corresponding to the MAC CE. In some embodiments, the MAC CE indicates that the time domain resource range is T0+δt; wherein T0 is the end time of the downlink time slot of the hybrid automatic repeat request corresponding to the MAC CE. Wherein δt can be determined based on the communication standard, or can be configured by the base station.

[0061] In one embodiment, the configuration information of the resource indicated by the network side device can also include pattern information of the frequency domain occupation information and the time domain occupation information, and the terminal can determine which REs in the RB on which the network side device performs interference measurement based on the pattern information. Since the pattern information contains the frequency domain occupation information and the time domain occupation information, indicating the pattern information can relatively reduce resource overhead compared with respectively indicating the frequency domain occupation information and the time domain occupation information.

[0062] In one embodiment, the frequency domain occupation information includes a frequency domain starting position and a frequency domain range.

[0063] When the network side device indicates the frequency domain occupation information, the network side device can indicate the frequency domain starting position and the frequency domain range, and the frequency domain position of the resource used by the network side device for interference measurement can be determined according to the frequency domain starting position and the frequency domain range.

[0064] Figure 2 is a schematic diagram of a pattern according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0065] The pattern information can define the position of the RE in one RB, and one RB corresponds to one slot in time domain, which contains 14 time domain symbols, and corresponds to 12 subcarriers in frequency domain. As shown in Figure 2 Based on the pattern information, 4 REs in one RB can be determined for interference measurement, which are the REs corresponding to the 3rd and 9th subcarriers in the 3rd and 10th symbols (counted from top to bottom).

[0066] Figure 3 is a schematic diagram of another pattern according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0067] The network-side device can determine multiple patterns in advance, for example, based on a protocol agreement or configured by the network-side device (for example, through Radio Resource Control (RRC) signaling) to the terminal. The network-side device can indicate one of the multiple patterns to the terminal as the pattern information of the resource.

[0068] As shown in Figure 3 , the terminal determines two patterns in advance, pattern-1 and pattern-2 respectively. The network-side device can indicate one of the two patterns to the terminal through the pattern indication information, for example, indicating pattern-1 to the terminal. Then the terminal can determine the REs for interference measurement according to pattern-1.

[0069] Figure 4 is a schematic diagram of another pattern according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0070] The pattern information can define the positions of the REs in multiple RBs, and the multiple RBs correspond to multiple slots, for example Figure 4 As shown in , the pattern information can define the positions of the REs in 4 consecutive RBs (corresponding to 4 slots, slot13n to slot13n+3).

[0071] In one embodiment, the pattern information is determined based on a protocol agreement or determined by the network-side device and then indicated to the terminal. That is, the method can further include indicating the pattern information to the terminal.

[0072] The pattern information in the configuration information can be determined based on a protocol agreement, for example, multiple patterns are determined based on a protocol agreement, and the network-side device can indicate one of the multiple patterns to the terminal through the pattern indication information. The pattern information in the configuration information can also be indicated by the network-side device, for example, the network-side device directly indicates specific pattern information, or the terminal can first determine multiple patterns based on a protocol agreement, and the network-side device can indicate one of the multiple patterns to the terminal through the pattern indication information.

[0073] In one embodiment, the granularity of the pattern information is determined based on a protocol agreement or determined by the network-side device and then indicated to the terminal. That is, the method can further include indicating the granularity to the terminal.

[0074] In the case that the network-side device indicates the pattern information, since the pattern information contains time domain occupation information and frequency domain occupation information, the network-side device can not indicate the time domain occupation information and the frequency domain occupation information, but in this case, the applicable range of the pattern information in the frequency domain is difficult to determine. Therefore, the specific granularity corresponding to the applicable range of the pattern information in the frequency domain needs to be determined, and the granularity is, for example, one or more RBs, one or more REs, etc., wherein the granularity can be determined based on a protocol agreement or indicated by the network-side device to the terminal.

[0075] Figure 5 is a schematic diagram of the resource according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0076] As shown in Figure 5 , for example, for a TDD frequency band, the structure of the uplink and downlink TDD slots is 6 downlink slots (slot#0 to slot#5), 1 variable slot (slot#6), and 3 uplink slots (slot#7 to slot#9), i.e., DDDDDD SUUU.

[0077] The network-side device performs interference measurement on part of the resources in the slots slot#0 and slot#5, and can send DCI in slot#0 to indicate the configuration information of the resources for interference measurement in slot#0, and send DCI in slot#5 to indicate the configuration information of the resources for interference measurement in slot#5. The resources for interference measurement in slot#0 and slot#5 can be the same or different, which is determined by the network-side device according to the needs.

[0078] Figure 6 is a schematic diagram of a pattern according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0079] In one embodiment, the configuration information can include pattern information, and the network-side device also indicates the granularity, for example Figure 6 , the granularity is 4 RBs (corresponding to 4 slots, slot#n to slot#n+3), and the applicable range of the pattern in the frequency domain is 4 RBs, and the pattern of the REs in each of the 4 RBs is the same.

[0080] Figure 7 is a schematic flowchart of another resource indication method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in Figure 7 , the sending of the first indication information to the terminal includes:

[0081] In step S701, a target identifier corresponding to the configuration information is determined according to an association relationship between the identifier and the configuration information.

[0082] In step S702, the target identifier is carried in the first indication information and sent to the terminal.

[0083] In an embodiment, a plurality of configuration information of resources for interference measurement can be determined in advance, and an association relationship between the configuration information of the resources for interference measurement and an identifier can be stored in advance. Then, when the network side device indicates the configuration information, the target identifier corresponding to the configuration information in the association relationship can be indicated, so as to save the resource overhead of the indication process.

[0084] The association relationship can be stored in the form of a table, or can be stored in other ways. For example, in the form of a table, it can be shown in Table 2 as follows:

[0085] Entry index Frequency domain range RE pattern Time window #0 Upper 1 / 2 BWP Pattern #1 Window #1 #1 Lower 1 / 2 BWP Pattern #1 Window #1 #2 Full BWP Pattern #2 Window #2 #3 Full BWP Pattern #2 Window #1

[0086] Table 2

[0087] It can be understood that each element in Table 2 exists independently. These elements are exemplarily listed in the same table, but it does not mean that all elements in the table must exist at the same time according to the table. The value of each element is independent of the value of any other element in Table 2. Therefore, those skilled in the art can understand that the value of each element in Table 2 is an independent embodiment.

[0088] The configuration information includes a frequency domain range, a time window (i.e. a time domain resource range), and a RE pattern (i.e. pattern information), and the entry index is an identifier. For example, there are M sets of configuration information of resources, and the network side device can indicate the identifier through DCI, for example, carry ceil(log2(M)) bits in DCI to indicate a set of configuration information of resources in the M sets of configuration information of resources. For example, as shown in Table 2, M=4, and 2 bits can be used for indication. The relationship between the indication carried in the DCI and the identifier can be shown in Table 3 as follows:

[0089] Indication carried by DCI Entry index 00 Entry #0 01 Entry #1 10 Entry #2 11 Entry #3

[0090] Table 3

[0091] For example, the indication carried in the DCI is 00, then it can be determined that the indicated identity is Entry#0, and then according to Table 3, it can be determined that the configuration information corresponding to Entry#0 is the configuration information of the resource used by the network side device for interference measurement. It can be understood that each element in Table 3 exists independently, and these elements are exemplarily listed in the same table, but it does not mean that all elements in the table must exist at the same time as shown in the table. The value of each element is independent of the value of any other element in Table 3. Therefore, those skilled in the art can understand that the value of each element in Table 1 is an independent embodiment.

[0092] Figure 8 is a schematic flow chart of still another resource indication method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in Figure 8 the method further includes:

[0093] In step S801, when stopping the interference measurement on the resource, the second indication information is sent to the terminal, for instructing the network side device to deactivate the interference measurement on the resource.

[0094] In an embodiment, the interference measurement performed by the network side device can be stopped as needed, and when stopping the interference measurement on the resource, the terminal can be instructed by the second indication information to determine that the network side device deactivates the interference measurement on the resource.

[0095] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the second indication information is used to instruct the terminal that the network side device stops the interference measurement on the resource. In a possible embodiment of the present disclosure, the first indication information is used to instruct the terminal to start receiving the transmission (including data and / or reference signal) on the resource corresponding to the configuration information, or start a preset operation on the resource corresponding to the configuration information.

[0096] In an embodiment, the method further includes: sending at least one of the following on the resource: data, reference signal. When the network side device stops the interference measurement on the resource, data, reference signal, etc. can be sent on the resource, and correspondingly, the terminal can receive data, reference signal, etc. on the resource.

[0097] In an embodiment, the network side device pre-configures the terminal with configuration information of a plurality of resources, and the first indication information is used to instruct the configuration information of the activated resource for interference measurement in the plurality of resources. In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the first indication information and the second indication information can be the same information, and the network side device instructs the related information of starting and ending the interference measurement by one indication information.

[0098] In some embodiments, the network-side device can pre-configure the terminal with configuration information of multiple resources, and activate one of the configuration information as the configuration information of the resource used by the network-side device for interference measurement through the first indication information; the first indication information can indicate the start / end time of the interference measurement of the terminal, to instruct the terminal to stop receiving transmission (including data and / or reference signal) between the start time and the end time.

[0099] Figure 9 is a schematic diagram of activation / deactivation according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0100] The network-side device indicates the resource used by the network-side device for interference measurement to the terminal through the first indication information, for example Figure 9 As shown, the period of the resource is 2 slots, that is, the network-side device performs interference measurement on the resource according to the period, and the terminal stops receiving data and reference signal on the resource according to the period.

[0101] The network-side device stops performing interference measurement on the resource after completing the interference measurement (which can also be for other reasons), and can indicate the terminal through the first indication information, so that the terminal determines that the network-side device stops performing interference measurement on the resource, that is, the network-side device stops performing interference measurement on the resource, and can then transmit data and reference signal on the resource, and the terminal can also receive data and reference signal on the resource.

[0102] Figure 10 is a schematic flow chart of an information receiving method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. The information receiving method shown in the embodiment can be performed by a terminal, which includes but is not limited to a mobile phone, a tablet computer, a wearable device, a sensor, an Internet of Things device, and the like, and can communicate with a network-side device, which includes but is not limited to a network-side device in a 4G, 5G, 6G, and the like communication system, such as a base station, a core network, and the like.

[0103] As Figure 10 shown, the information receiving method can include the following steps:

[0104] In step S1001, first indication information sent by a network-side device is received;

[0105] In step S1002, configuration information of a resource used by the network-side device for interference measurement is determined according to the first indication information.

[0106] In an embodiment, the network-side device can determine the resource for interference measurement according to the need of interference measurement, for example, the resource includes downlink resource, and specifically can include at least one of the following: downlink resource of a time division duplex (TDD) frequency band (for example, downlink time slot of a TDD frequency band); downlink resource of a frequency division duplex (FDD) frequency band (for example, downlink spectrum of an FDD frequency band). Of course, the resource can further include uplink resource, for example, uplink resource of a TDD frequency band (for example, uplink time slot of a TDD frequency band), uplink resource of an FDD frequency band (for example, uplink spectrum of a TDD frequency band). The following embodiments are mainly exemplarily described in the case where the resource is downlink resource.

[0107] In an embodiment, the network-side device can communicate based on full duplex mode, where the full duplex mode refers to simultaneous uplink transmission and downlink transmission in the same frequency domain resource (for example, frequency band, carrier, subcarrier, bandwidth part, resource block, resource element, etc.). In an embodiment, the method further includes: stopping sending data, reference signal, etc. on the resource.

[0108] In the case where the network-side device communicates based on full duplex mode, interference can exist on the above-mentioned downlink resource, and therefore interference measurement needs to be performed on the resource, and when performing interference measurement, in order to obtain accurate measurement results, the network-side device can stop sending data, reference signal, etc. on the resource.

[0109] According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, after determining the resource for interference measurement, the network-side device can indicate the configuration information of the resource for interference measurement to the terminal through first indication information, so that the terminal can determine the resource for interference measurement of the network-side device according to the configuration information, and thus will not expect to receive data, reference signal, etc. sent by the network-side device on the resource. Accordingly, the problem of wasting resources of the terminal and demodulation error, etc. can be avoided.

[0110] In addition, it needs to be noted that in some cases, there can be a case where the downlink data channel conflicts with the resource, that is, the terminal determines to receive downlink data on the resource on one hand, and determines that the network-side device performs interference measurement on the resource according to the first indication information on the other hand. In this case, the terminal will preferentially determine that the network-side device performs interference measurement on the resource, and will not expect to receive data or reference signal sent by the network-side device on the resource.

[0111] In an embodiment, the method further comprises: performing rate matching on the resource, and stopping receiving data and reference signals transmitted by the network-side device on the resource. That is, the terminal can perform rate matching on the resource to stop receiving data and reference signals transmitted by the network-side device on the resource.

[0112] In an embodiment, the first indication information comprises at least one of the following:

[0113] Downlink control information (DCI);

[0114] Medium access control (MAC) control element (CE).

[0115] The network-side device can carry the configuration information of the resource in the DCI as the first indication information to the terminal, or carry the configuration information of the resource in the MAC CE as the first indication information to the terminal.

[0116] In an embodiment, the DCI comprises common DCI.

[0117] The network-side device carries the configuration information of the resource in the common DCI as the first indication information to the terminal. Since the network-side device performs interference measurement on the resource, no data or reference signal transmitted by the network-side device should be expected to be received on the resource for all terminals under the cell corresponding to the network-side device. Therefore, the configuration information can be indicated to all terminals under the cell corresponding to the network-side device by the common DCI in a unified manner (for example, in a groupcast manner), without the need to indicate the configuration information to each terminal respectively, which is beneficial to saving resources.

[0118] The DCI can be a newly defined DCI format, or the current DCI format can be used, for example, DCI format 1_1, DCI format 1_2, etc.

[0119] In an embodiment, the configuration information comprises at least one of the following:

[0120] Frequency domain occupation information, time domain occupation information, time domain resource range, pattern information of the frequency domain occupation information and the time domain occupation information.

[0121] In an embodiment, the configuration information of the resource indicated by the network-side device can be composed of frequency domain occupation information and time domain occupation information, based on which the location of the resource in the frequency domain and the time domain can be determined, for example, the resource block (RB) corresponding to the frequency domain occupation information and the time domain occupation information in a certain time slot, or more specifically, the resource element (RE) can be determined.

[0122] In an embodiment, the configuration information of the resource indicated by the network-side device can also include a time domain resource range, based on which it can be determined in how many time slots the resource is determined based on the frequency domain occupation information and the time domain occupation information.

[0123] In an embodiment, the terminal can determine a plurality of time domain resource ranges in advance, for example, according to protocol agreement or according to network-side configuration, and the network-side device can subsequently indicate a time domain resource range in the plurality of time domain resource ranges, for example, indicate the identity of the time domain resource range, for example, the association between the identity of the time domain resource range and the time domain resource can be shown in Table 1.

[0124] As shown in Table 1, the terminal determines 4 time window lengths (i.e. time domain resource ranges) in advance, and the network-side device can indicate the time window identity with log2(W) bits, W is equal to 4 in the embodiment of Table 1, for example, the identity is 01, based on Table 1, the corresponding time window length can be determined as 5, so it can be determined that there is a resource for interference measurement by the network-side device in 5 time slots.

[0125] In addition, it should be noted that in the case of indicating the time domain resource range through the MAC CE, since the terminal needs a period of time to parse the MAC CE, for example, 3 milliseconds, the starting time of the time domain resource range is at least 3 milliseconds after the downlink time slot of the hybrid automatic repeat request corresponding to the MAC CE.

[0126] In an embodiment, the configuration information of the resource indicated by the network-side device can also include pattern information of the frequency domain occupation information and the time domain occupation information, based on which the terminal can determine which REs in the RB are used by the network-side device for interference measurement. Since the pattern information contains the frequency domain occupation information and the time domain occupation information, indicating the pattern information can relatively reduce the resource overhead compared with indicating the frequency domain occupation information and the time domain occupation information respectively.

[0127] In an embodiment, the frequency domain occupation information includes a frequency domain starting position and a frequency domain range.

[0128] The network-side device can indicate the frequency domain starting position and the frequency domain range when indicating the frequency domain occupation information, and the frequency domain position of the resource for the network-side device to perform the interference measurement can be determined according to the frequency domain starting position and the frequency domain range.

[0129] The terminal can determine a plurality of patterns in advance, for example, based on a protocol agreement or based on the configuration of the network-side device (for example, through Radio Resource Control (RRC) signaling). The network-side device can indicate one of the patterns as the pattern information of the resource.

[0130] As shown in Figure 3 The terminal determines two patterns in advance, pattern-1 and pattern-2, and the network-side device can indicate one of the two patterns to the terminal through the pattern indication information, for example, indicating pattern-1 to the terminal, and then the terminal can determine the RE for performing the interference measurement according to pattern-1.

[0131] The pattern information can define the positions of the REs in a plurality of RBs, and the plurality of RBs correspond to a plurality of slots, for example Figure 4 As shown in

[0132] In one embodiment, the pattern information is determined based on a protocol agreement or is determined by the network-side device and then indicated to the terminal. That is, the method further includes receiving the information for indicating the pattern information sent by the network-side device.

[0133] The pattern information in the configuration information can be determined based on a protocol agreement, for example, a plurality of patterns are determined based on a protocol agreement, and the network-side device can indicate one of the patterns to the terminal through the pattern indication information. The pattern information in the configuration information can also be indicated by the network-side device, for example, the network-side device directly indicates the specific pattern information, or the terminal can first determine a plurality of patterns based on a protocol agreement, and the network-side device can indicate one of the patterns to the terminal through the pattern indication information.

[0134] In an embodiment, the pattern information is determined based on a protocol agreement or indicated by the network side device to the terminal. That is, the method further comprises determining the pattern information according to the indication of the network side device.

[0135] When the network side device indicates the pattern information, since the pattern information contains time domain occupation information and frequency domain occupation information, it can not be necessary to indicate the time domain occupation information and the frequency domain occupation information. However, in this case, it is difficult to determine the applicable range of the pattern information in the frequency domain. Therefore, it is necessary to determine the specific granularity corresponding to the applicable range of the pattern information in the frequency domain, for example, one or more RBs, one or more REs, etc. The granularity can be determined based on a protocol agreement or indicated by the network side device to the terminal.

[0136] In an embodiment, the granularity of the pattern information is determined based on a protocol agreement or the method further comprises determining the granularity according to the indication of the network side device.

[0137] When the network side device indicates the pattern information, since the pattern information contains time domain occupation information and frequency domain occupation information, it can not be necessary to indicate the time domain occupation information and the frequency domain occupation information. However, in this case, it is difficult to determine the applicable range of the pattern information in the frequency domain. Therefore, it is necessary to determine the specific granularity corresponding to the applicable range of the pattern information in the frequency domain, for example, one or more RBs, one or more REs, etc. The granularity can be determined based on a protocol agreement or indicated by the network side device to the terminal.

[0138] As shown in FIG. 6, for example, for a TDD frequency band, the structure of uplink and downlink TDD slots is 6 downlink slots (slot#0 to slot#5), 1 variable slot (slot#6), and 3 uplink slots (slot#7 to slot#9), that is, DDDDDD SUUU. Figure 5

[0139] When the network side device performs interference measurement on part of the resources in the slots slot#0 and slot#5, it can send a DCI in slot#0 to indicate the configuration information of the resources for interference measurement in slot#0 and send a DCI in slot#5 to indicate the configuration information of the resources for interference measurement in slot#5. The resources for interference measurement in slot#0 and slot#5 can be the same or different, which is determined by the network side device according to the needs.

[0140] ​In one embodiment, the configuration information can include pattern information, and the network-side device also indicates the granularity, for example Figure 6 As shown, the granularity is 4 RBs (corresponding to 4 slots, slot #n to slot #n+3), and the applicable range of the pattern in the frequency domain is 4 RBs, and the pattern of the REs in each of the 4 RBs is the same.

[0141] Figure 11 is a schematic flow chart of another information receiving method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in Figure 11 The configuration information of the resource for interference measurement determined according to the first indication information includes:

[0142] In step S1101, the target identity in the first indication information is determined.

[0143] In step S1102, the configuration information is determined according to the target identity.

[0144] In one possible implementation, the terminal determines the configuration information corresponding to the target identity according to the correspondence of the association relationship between the target identity and the configuration information.

[0145] In one embodiment, the configuration information of a plurality of resources for interference measurement can be determined in advance, and the association relationship between the configuration information of the resource for interference measurement and the identity can be stored in advance, and then the network-side device can indicate the target identity corresponding to the configuration information in the association relationship when indicating the configuration information, thereby facilitating saving resource overhead of the indication process.

[0146] The association relationship can be stored in the form of a table or by other means, for example, in the form of a table, for example, as shown in Table 2 in the foregoing.

[0147] The configuration information includes the frequency domain range, the time window (i.e., the time domain resource range), and the RE pattern (i.e., the pattern information), and the entry index is the identity. For example, there are M sets of configuration information of the resource, and the network-side device can indicate the identity by DCI, for example, by carrying ceil(log2(M)) bits in the DCI to indicate one set of configuration information of the resource, for example, as shown in Table 2, M=4, and then 2 bits can be used for indication, and the relationship between the indication carried in the DCI and the identity can be as shown in Table 3 in the foregoing.

[0148] For example, if the indication carried in the DCI is 00, it can be determined that the indicated identity is Entry#0, and then it can be determined according to Table 3 that the configuration information corresponding to Entry#0 is the configuration information of the resource used by the network side device for interference measurement.

[0149] Figure 12 is a schematic flowchart of another information receiving method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in Figure 12 the method further includes:

[0150] In step S1201, the second indication information sent by the network side device is received.

[0151] In step S1202, it is determined according to the second indication information that the network side device deactivates the interference measurement on the resource.

[0152] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the second indication information is used to instruct the terminal that the network side device stops the interference measurement on the resource. In another embodiment of the present disclosure, the first indication information is used to instruct the terminal to start receiving the transmission (including data and / or reference signal) on the resource corresponding to the configuration information, or to start performing a preset operation on the resource corresponding to the configuration information.

[0153] In an embodiment, the interference measurement performed by the network side device can be stopped as needed, and when the interference measurement on the resource is stopped, the second indication information can be used to instruct the terminal, so that the terminal determines that the network side device deactivates the interference measurement on the resource.

[0154] In an embodiment, the method further includes: receiving at least one of the following on the resource: data, reference signal. When the network side device stops the interference measurement on the resource, data, reference signal, etc. can be sent on the resource, and correspondingly, the terminal can receive data, reference signal, etc. on the resource.

[0155] In an embodiment, the network side device pre-configures the terminal with configuration information of a plurality of resources, and the first indication information is used to indicate the configuration information of the activated resource for interference measurement among the plurality of resources.

[0156] The network side device can pre-configure the terminal with configuration information of a plurality of resources, and through the first indication information, one of the configuration information can be activated as the configuration information of the resource used by the network side device for interference measurement. In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the first indication information and the second indication information can be the same information, and the network side device indicates the information related to starting and ending the interference measurement through one indication information.

[0157] The network side device indicates the terminal through the first indication information, so that the terminal determines the resource used by the network side device for interference measurement, for example Figure 9 As shown, the period of the resource is 2 slots, that is, the network side device performs interference measurement on the resource according to the period, and the terminal stops receiving data and reference signals on the resource according to the period.

[0158] The network side device stops performing interference measurement on the resource after completing the interference measurement (which can also be for other reasons), and can indicate the terminal through the first indication information, so that the terminal determines that the network side device stops performing interference measurement on the resource, that is, the network side device stops performing interference measurement on the resource, and can then transmit data and reference signals on the resource, and the terminal can also receive data and reference signals on the resource.
