In systems employing different wireless access technologies, the name of a device with access network device functionality may differ; for example, in a 5th Generation New Radio (5G NR) system, it is called a next-generation base station (gNodeB, gNB). As communication technologies evolve, the name "access network device" may change. For ease of description, in the embodiments of this application, the aforementioned devices providing wireless communication functionality to the terminal device 10 are collectively referred to as access network devices. Optionally, a communication relationship can be established between the terminal device 10 and core network devices through the access network device. For example, in a Long Term Evolution (LTE) system, the access network equipment can be one or more evolved base stations in an Evolved Universal Terrestrial Radio Access Network (EUTRAN); in a 5G NR system, the access network equipment can be one or more gNBs in a Radio Access Network (RAN).

[0204] In some embodiments, a core network device can be a single device deployed in the core network, possessing functions such as a first network element, a second network element, and a third network element. Alternatively, it can be multiple devices or a group of devices, each possessing all or some of the functions of a first network element, a second network element, and a third network element. Network elements can be virtual or physical.

[0205] The following embodiments of this disclosure can be applied to Figure 1a The communication system 100 shown or a part thereof, but not limited thereto. Figure 1a The entities shown are illustrative; the communication system 100 may include... Figure 1a All or part of the main body, or may include Figure 1a Other than the main body, the number of each main body is arbitrary, and the connection relationship between the main bodies is illustrative. The main bodies may be unconnected or connected, and the connection can be in any way, such as direct connection or indirect connection, wired connection or wireless connection. In addition, the names of the communication system 100 and each main body are not limited.

[0206] Figure 1bThis is an interactive schematic diagram of a communication system according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. The communication system may include: a terminal device 10 and a network device 20. The network device 20 includes a Transmission and Reception Point (TRP) 1 and a TRP 2. Figure 2 This example uses only two TRPs, but in reality there can be more than one TRP, and this disclosure does not limit this.

[0207] There are two communication scenarios between terminal device 10 and network device 20: uplink communication scenario and downlink communication scenario. Uplink communication refers to terminal device 10 sending signals to network device 20; downlink communication refers to network device 20 sending signals to terminal device 10.

[0208] Some embodiments of this disclosure do not consider multi-transmission and reception point (M-TRP) scenarios, and uplink transmission is performed for a single TRP. Some embodiments of this disclosure enhance M-TRP uplink transmission under single downlink control information (S-DCI). Uplink Physical Uplink Shared Channel (PUSCH) transmission is performed to multiple network devices 20's TRPs. Some embodiments of this disclosure standardize cooperative transmission under Time Division Multiplexing (TDM) transmission mode, sending repetitions of the same information on the PUSCH to different TRPs of network devices 20 at different time-domain transmission occupancy (TO) times. This method places lower demands on the capabilities of the terminal device 10, does not require simultaneous beam transmission, and has a relatively large transmission delay.

[0209] For uplink, the spatial characteristics of the PUSCH channels that actually pass through may vary greatly depending on the TRP. Therefore, it is assumed that the spatial reception parameters of the PUSCH channels are different for different transmission directions.

[0210] In some embodiments of this disclosure, the primary goal of the enhancements is to increase transmission reliability and throughput by enabling simultaneous cooperative transmission from multiple panels of terminal device 10 to multiple network devices 20 in the TRP direction. This also effectively reduces transmission latency under multiple TRPs, but requires terminal device 10 to have the capability to transmit multiple beams simultaneously. PUSCH transmission can be based on a single Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH), i.e., S-DCI-scheduled multi-panel transmission to multiple TRPs.

[0211] like Figure 1b As shown, a Downlink Control Information (DCI) message directly or indirectly schedules precoding matrix 1 and precoding matrix 2 to terminal device 10. Terminal device 10 uses panel 1 to send one or more layers of uplink data to TRP1 based on precoding matrix 1. Terminal device 10 uses panel 2 to send one or more layers of uplink data to TRP2 based on precoding matrix 2.

[0212] Figure 1c This is an interactive schematic diagram of a communication system according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. The transmission of PUSCH can also be based on multi-panel to multi-TRP transmission scheduled by different PDCCHs, i.e., Multi-Downlink Control Information (M-DCI).

[0213] TRP1 sends the first DCI to terminal device 10 via PDCCH1, and scheduling terminal device 10 sends PUSCH1 to TRP1 using panel 1; TRP2 sends the second DCI to terminal device 10 via PDCCH2, and scheduling terminal device 10 sends PUSCH2 to TRP2 using panel 2.

[0214] The aforementioned TRP1 and TRP2 can be two TRPs from the same cell or two TRPs from different cells.

[0215] In actual deployments, the links between TRPs may be ideal backhaul links that support high throughput and very low backhaul latency, or they may be non-ideal backhaul links that use methods such as x Digital Subscriber Line (xDSL), microwave, and relay. The non-coherent joint transmission (NC-JT) transmission scheme based on M-DCI is mainly for non-ideal backhaul links, but this scheme can also be used for ideal backhaul links.

[0216] Terminals are typically configured with multiple panels, and the capabilities of these panels may differ. For example, they may have different numbers of SRS ports and support different maximum data transmission layers; one panel might support a maximum of layer 2 transmission, while another supports a maximum of layer 4. The network scheduler determines whether the terminal is suitable for simultaneous uplink transmission with multiple panels. If the terminal is suitable for simultaneous uplink transmission with multiple panels and is scheduled accordingly, the network device will directly or indirectly indicate the relevant transmission parameters, including the terminal's specific beamforming information, the number of data layers used for transmission, the DeModulation Reference Signal (DMRS) port allocation, and precoding indication information.

[0217] Simultaneous transmission via multi-panel (STxMP) for S-DCI-based PUSCHs includes the following transmission schemes:

[0218] (1) Space Division Multiplexing (SDM) scheme: Different parts of a transport block (TB) of PUSCH are transmitted to two different TRPs on the same time and frequency resources through their respective corresponding DMRS ports or port combinations allocated on different panels. Different panels / TRPs / TOs are associated with different transmission configuration indication states (TCIstate), i.e., beams.

[0219] (2) Single Frequency Network (SFN) multiplexing scheme: One TB of PUSCH transmits to two different TRPs on the same time and frequency resources through the same DMRS port or port combination allocated on different panels. Different panels / TRPs / TOs are associated with different TCI states, i.e. beams.

[0220] Terminal uplink panel selection:

[0221] In some embodiments of this disclosure, to support uplink panel selection, an enhanced beam reporting scheme is supported. This involves updating the uplink TCI state (UpLink TCI state, UL TCI state) to notify the terminal of the function of the selected panel used for uplink transmission. For multi-panel terminals, a set of terminal capability values ​​available for uplink transmission is defined. The terminal reports this set, and the elements in the set include the maximum number of SRS ports supported by each panel of the terminal. Here, it is assumed that the maximum number of SRS ports corresponds to the maximum number of supported uplink transmission layers. Assuming the terminal has four panels with corresponding maximum SRS port numbers of 1, 2, 2, and 4, the maximum number of ports corresponding to the heterogeneous panels is reported, and the reported terminal capability set is {1, 2, 4}.

[0222] Some embodiments of this disclosure add a terminal capability value reporting function to beam management. That is, the panel used to transmit a given beam may change dynamically, and therefore, the maximum number of SRS ports corresponding to the panel capability will also change accordingly. Therefore, the UE reports this maximum number in the UCI along with the Layer 1 Reference Signal Received Power (L1-RSRP).

[0223] When a network device receives a report from a terminal containing a Channel State Information-Reference Signal (CSI-RS) Resource Indicator (CRI) / Synchronization Signal Block Resource Indicator (SSBRI) + L1-RSRP / L1 Signal to Interference plus Noise Ratio (L1-SINR) corresponding to a certain UE capability value set index, it reports CRI / SSBRI + L1-RSRP / L1-SINR + UE capability value set index. The network device then updates the QuasiCoLocation Type D (QCL Type D) source Reference Signal (QCL Type D source RS) in the UL TCI state using the CSI-RS or Synchronization Signal Block (SSB) recommended by the terminal. The terminal receives the UL TCI state configuration notification from the network device and, in accordance with the network device's instructions, uses the same panel as the receiving spatial relationship reference signal source as the transmitting panel to transmit the target PUSCH / Physical Uplink Control Channel (PDCCH).

[0224] The UE capability set reported by the terminal can include the maximum number of SRS ports supported by each panel. In beam reporting, each pair of CRI / SSBRI+L1-RSRP / L1-SINR corresponds to a UE capability set ID, or simply a terminal capability set index.

[0225] In STxMP scenarios, PUSCH's multi-antenna precoding supports two different mode configurations: codebook-based transmission and non-codebook-based transmission. The mode used is generally selected based on whether the reciprocity of the uplink and downlink channels holds. Both precoding modes require the terminal to send a Sounding Reference Signal (SRS) for the base station to estimate uplink channel state information (CSI).

[0226] (1) Codebook-based transmission;

[0227] In codebook-based transmission, the terminal needs to configure at most one SRS resource set for codebook-based uplink transmission. Multiple SRS resources can be configured in one SRS resource set, and the network device will provide feedback on this. Bit-based SRS Resource Indication (SRI) This indicates rounding up. The SRS resource is selected via the SRI indication. Finally, the network device determines the Transmitted Precoding Matrix Indicator (TPMI) and Transmitted Rank Indicator (TRI) used by the terminal for actual transmission based on uplink CSI measurements and notifies the terminal. In subsequent uplink transmissions, the terminal's data needs to be precoded using the TPMI and TRI specified by the network device. Simultaneously, the precoded data is mapped to the corresponding antenna port according to the spatial filter corresponding to the SRS resource indicated by the SRI. Different SRSs use different spatial filters for transmission; therefore, the precoded data from the terminal needs to be filtered by the spatial filter used by the SRS indicated by the SRI. This method supports data transmission from single-layer to full-rank.

[0228] Figure 1d This is a flowchart illustrating a codebook-based uplink transmission method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. The embodiment relates to a codebook-based uplink transmission method executed by a terminal device 10 and a network device 20. The method includes:

[0229] Step 410: Network device 20 sends SRS resource configuration.

[0230] In the codebook-based uplink transmission process, network device 20 sends SRS resource configuration to terminal device 10. The SRS resource configuration includes at least one SRS resource and the time-frequency resource location of each SRS resource.

[0231] Step 420: Terminal device 10 sends SRS.

[0232] Terminal device 10 sends at least one SRS to network device 20 based on SRS resource configuration.

[0233] Step 430: Network device 20 sends DCI.

[0234] Network device 20 obtains the channel status of each uplink channel based on at least one received SRS, and sends DCI to terminal device 10. DCI includes at least SRI, TPMI, and TRI.

[0235] Step 440: Terminal device 10 sends PUSCH.

[0236] Terminal device 10 sends PUSCH to network device 20 based on SRI and TPMI.

[0237] Table 1 illustrates the SRI indication method for multiple SRS resources. Table 2, using a 4-antenna port as an example, shows the signaling indication methods for TPMI and TRI in single-layer transmission, indicating different UE capabilities. Here, UE capabilities are categorized into three types: fully correlated, partially correlated, and uncorrelated, representing the correlation capability of the antenna port. Table 3 corresponds to the codewords for single-layer transmission with a 4-antenna port.

[0244] Not all terminals can calibrate their antenna ports to enable coherent transmission. The uplink codebook design needs to consider the terminal's antenna coherent transmission capabilities. The NR system defines three types of antenna coherent transmission capabilities for different terminals:

[0245] ① Full Coherent: All antennas of the terminal can transmit coherently;

[0246] ②Partial Coherent: Antennas within the same coherent transmission pair of a terminal can transmit coherently, but antennas between different coherent transmission pairs cannot transmit coherently.

[0247] ③ Non-coherent: The terminal has no antenna and can transmit coherently.

[0248] The NR system allows network devices to configure up to two SRS resources for a terminal for codebook-based uplink channel sounding. Both SRS resources must have the same number of SRS antenna ports and the same time-domain type; that is, both SRS resources must be periodic, semi-persistent, or aperiodic. The NR system does not support network devices indicating multiple SRS resources for a terminal for codebook-based uplink transmission. When a network device configures two SRS resources for a terminal for codebook-based uplink transmission, the network device indicates one SRS resource corresponding to TPMI / TRI to the terminal via SRI.

[0249] (2) Transmission based on non-codebook;

[0250] For uplink transmissions based on non-codebooks, terminal device 10 sends a maximum number of SRS resources that can be transmitted simultaneously to network device 20. When network device 20 indicates an SRI to terminal device 10 in time slot n, the corresponding SRS resource transmission is the most recent SRS transmission before time slot n.

[0251] Terminal device 10 determines the limit of the precoding indication based on the maximum rank (maxRank) in the higher-layer parameter PUSCH configuration (PUSCH-Config), and the number of SRS resources indicated by SRI is not greater than maxRank.

[0252] Network device 20 can configure an associated CSI-RS resource for channel measurement for the SRS resource set used for non-codebook uplink transmission. Terminal device 10 obtains the precoding for SRS transmission of the SRS resource set used for non-codebook uplink transmission based on the associated CSI-RS resource.

[0253] For uplink transmission based on non-codebook, in practical systems, it is generally necessary to measure the downlink configured CSI-RS. Terminal device 10 utilizes uplink-downlink reciprocity to obtain uplink channel information by measuring the downlink signal. The main processes include:

[0254] (1) The network device uses a non-codebook-based transmission configuration associated downlink CSI-RS for terminal downlink channel detection;

[0255] (2) The terminal selects the precoding matrix through the calculation of the downlink channel, and transmits SRS in each precoded beam direction on the configured SRS resource set;

[0256] (3) The network device performs uplink channel detection on the SRS, performs resource scheduling on the UE, notifies the UE through downlink signaling, and selects the beam in the precoding matrix through SRI indication;

[0257] (4) The terminal uses the modified precoding matrix to determine the actual precoding and the allowed number of layers, and sends the PUSCH; the terminal determines the precoding indication limit according to the higher layer parameter maxRank, and the number of SRS resources indicated by SRI is not greater than maxRank. In order to enable the network device to modify the precoding matrix actually used by the terminal, for non-codebook-based transmission, the network device needs to configure an SRS resource set for the terminal.

[0258] For non-codebook transmission schemes, network devices can configure an SRS resource set for a terminal, containing 1 to 4 SRS resources, each with one SRS port. When a network device configures multiple SRS resources for a terminal for non-codebook uplink transmission, these resources share the same time-domain type; all SRS resources are either periodic, semi-persistent, or aperiodic. The network device can indicate one or more SRS resources to the terminal via SRI for PUSCH precoding determination, and the number of SRS resources corresponding to the SRI is the number of PUSCH transmission streams. When a network device configures only one SRS resource for a terminal for non-codebook uplink transmission, the DCI used for uplink authorization does not include an SRI indication field.

[0259] Figure 1e This is a flowchart illustrating a non-codebook-based uplink transmission method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. The embodiment relates to a non-codebook-based uplink transmission method executed by terminal device 10 and network device 20. The method includes:

[0260] Step 510: Network device 20 sends a Channel State Information-Reference Symbol (CSI-RS).

[0261] In the non-codebook-based uplink transmission process, the precoding matrix is ​​no longer limited to a fixed candidate set. Network device 20 sends CSI-RS to terminal device 10. The execution order of steps 510 and 520 is not fixed, and this application does not impose any restrictions on this.

[0262] Step 520: Network device 20 sends SRS resource configuration.

[0263] Network device 20 sends SRS resource configuration information to terminal device 10. The SRS resource configuration includes at least one SRS resource and the time-frequency resource location of each SRS resource. The execution order of steps 510 and 520 is not fixed, and this application does not limit it.

[0264] Step 530: Terminal device 10 determines the possible precoding matrix based on CSI-RS.

[0265] The terminal device 10 calculates at least one precoding matrix that can be used based on the measurement results of CSI-RS.

[0266] Step 540: Terminal device 10 sends SRS.

[0267] Terminal device 10 sends at least one SRS to network device 20 based on SRS resource configuration.

[0268] Step 550: Network device 20 sends DCI.

[0269] Network device 20 obtains the channel status of each uplink channel based on at least one received SRS, and sends DCI to terminal device 10. DCI includes at least SRI.

[0270] Step 560: Terminal device 10 sends PUSCH.

[0271] Terminal device 10 determines the precoding matrix to be used in this instance from the possible precoding matrices based on SRI, and sends PUSCH to network device 20 based on SRI and the precoding matrix to be used.

[0272] The specific method for indicating the SRI indication field in this embodiment is shown in the following table. Lmax is the transmission layer limit configured by the network device 20. The terminal device 10 determines the corresponding table of SRI and the number of bits in the SRI indication field according to this parameter. Among them, Lmax is 1 in Table 4, 2 in Table 5, 3 in Table 6, and 4 in Table 7.

[0280] Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram illustrating the interaction between an information reporting method and / or a receiving method according to an embodiment of this disclosure. Figure 2 As shown, this disclosure relates to an information reporting and / or receiving method for a communication system 100. The method includes:

[0281] Step 201: Terminal device 10 sends the fifth information to network device 20.

[0282] In some embodiments, network device 20 receives fifth information sent by terminal device 10.

[0283] In some embodiments, the fifth information may be, for example, a set of terminal capability values, or a sequence of capability values, or at least two capability values, or at least two SRS port numbers.

[0284] In some embodiments, the fifth information is used to indicate the maximum number of SRS ports supported by different panels of the terminal device 10. Optionally, the fifth information is used to indicate the maximum number of SRS ports supported by different panels in the terminal device 10 used for uplink multi-panel transmission. This uplink multi-panel transmission is either simultaneous uplink transmission or asynchronous uplink transmission.

[0285] For example, terminal device 10 includes four panels: panel#0, panel#1, panel#2, and panel#3. The maximum number of SRS ports supported by the four panels are 4, 4, 2, and 2, respectively. Then the set of terminal capability values ​​can be represented as {4, 2} or {2, 4}.

[0286] For example, terminal device 10 includes four panels: panel#0, panel#1, panel#2, and panel#3. The maximum number of SRS ports supported by the four panels are 1, 2, 2, and 4, respectively. Then the set of terminal capability values ​​can be represented as {1, 2, 4} or {4, 2, 1} or {2, 4, 1}, etc.

[0287] In some embodiments, the step of sending the fifth information includes: sending information for reporting terminal capabilities, wherein the information for reporting terminal capabilities carries the fifth information.

Optionally, the information for reporting terminal capabilities may be capability information, terminal capability information, capability reporting information, etc.

[0289] Step 202: Network device 20 sends the sixth information to terminal device 10.

[0290] In some embodiments, terminal device 10 receives sixth information sent by network device 20.

[0291] In some embodiments, the sixth information is, for example, beam group configuration, or group-based beam configuration, or beam group partitioning information, or beam pair partitioning information.

[0292] In some embodiments, the sixth information is used to indicate at least one beam group. Optionally, the sixth information is used to indicate at least one beam group for uplink multi-panel transmission. Optionally, the sixth information is used to indicate at least one beam group for beam measurement.

[0293] In some embodiments, each beam group can be considered as a beam pair. In some embodiments, each beam group includes at least two beams, but does not exceed the maximum number of beams. The maximum number of beams can be the maximum number of beams for uplink multi-panel transmission, the maximum number of beams for uplink simultaneous transmission, or the maximum number of beams for uplink non-simultaneous transmission. This maximum number of beams is predefined by the communication protocol, or configured by the network device 20.

[0294] In some embodiments, the beam pair is a beam pair that supports uplink transmission; or, the beam pair is a beam pair that supports uplink multi-panel transmission; or, the beam pair is a beam pair that supports uplink simultaneous transmission; or, the beam pair is a beam pair that supports uplink non-simultaneous transmission.

[0295] In some embodiments, the beam pair includes two beams, which may be an uplink beam, a beam supporting uplink transmission, or a beam supporting uplink multi-panel transmission. In some embodiments, the beam pair includes more than two beams, such as four beams or eight beams, etc., which is not limited in this disclosure.

[0296] In some embodiments, the step of sending the sixth information includes: sending first configuration information, such as beam-related configuration, which carries the sixth information. The first configuration information may be configuration related to beams, beam management, or beam measurement. The first configuration information may be a Radio Resource Control (RRC) message, DCI, or Medium Access Control (MACCE) message.

[0297] In some embodiments, the step of receiving the sixth information includes: receiving first configuration information, such as beam-related configuration, which carries the sixth information.

[0298] Step 203: Network device 20 sends the first parameter to terminal device 10.

[0299] In some embodiments, terminal device 10 receives a first parameter sent by network device 20.

[0300] In some embodiments, the first parameter is, for example, "reporting terminal capability value index".

[0301] In some embodiments, the first parameter is a parameter related to the reporting configuration of the second information, or the first parameter is used to indicate whether to report the second information. In some embodiments, the first parameter is used to indicate whether to report the second information simultaneously with reporting the first information.

[0302] In some embodiments, the first parameter is represented as the parameter "UE capability value set index", but the specific name of the first parameter is not limited in the embodiments of this disclosure.

[0303] In some embodiments, the step of sending the first parameter includes sending second configuration information, such as measurement-related configuration, which carries the first parameter. The second configuration information is a configuration related to at least one of beam measurement, beam reporting, and beam management. Optionally, the second configuration information may be a channel state information reporting configuration (CSI-reportconfig).

[0304] In some embodiments, the step of receiving the first parameter includes: receiving second configuration information, such as measurement-related configuration, the second configuration information carrying the first parameter.

[0305] In some embodiments, when the first parameter is configured to be enabled, it indicates that the terminal device 10 starts the function of reporting the second information, or starts the function of reporting the second information simultaneously when reporting the first information. In some embodiments, when the first parameter is configured to be disabled, it indicates that the function of reporting the second information is disabled, or the function of reporting the second information simultaneously when reporting the first information is disabled.

[0306] When this parameter is configured to be enabled, the terminal device 10 executes step 204.

[0307] Step 204: Terminal device 10 reports the first information and the second information.

[0308] In some embodiments, network device 20 receives first information and second information sent by terminal device 10.

[0309] In some embodiments, the first information is used to indicate beam information of at least one pair of beam pairs. In some embodiments, the first information is used to indicate at least one of at least one pair of beam pairs and measurement results of at least one pair of beam pairs. For example, the first information is an identifier of at least one pair of beam pairs; or, for example, the first information is a measurement result of at least one pair of beam pairs.

[0310] In some embodiments, the beam information of at least one beam pair includes at least one of the following: an identifier for identifying the beam or beam pair, an index for identifying the beam or beam pair, a measurement result of the beam or beam pair, and a transmission type supported by the beam or beam pair.

[0311] In some embodiments, the identifier or index used to identify a beam or beam pair may be at least one of the following: beam identifier, beam pair identifier, spatial relation information, spatial setting, spatial Rx parameter, Tx spatial filter, spatial domain receive filter, spatial domain transmit filter, Transmission Configuration Indication (TCI) status, QCL Type D, etc.

[0312] In some embodiments, the measurement results of a beam or beam pair include at least one of CRI, SSB RI, L1-RSRP, and L1-SINR.

[0313] In some embodiments, the transmission type refers to at least one of uplink transmission, uplink multi-panel transmission, uplink simultaneous transmission, uplink non-simultaneous transmission, downlink transmission, downlink multi-panel transmission, downlink simultaneous transmission, and downlink non-simultaneous transmission.

[0314] In some embodiments, the second information is a terminal capability value index for at least one pair of beam pairs. This terminal capability value index is short for Terminal Capability Value Set Index.

[0315] In some embodiments, the second information is used to indicate the maximum number of SRS ports supported by at least two antenna panels. Alternatively, the second information is used to indicate the maximum number of SRS ports supported by at least two antenna panels corresponding to at least one beam pair. Alternatively, the second information is used to indicate the maximum number of SRS ports supported by at least two isomorphic panels corresponding to at least one beam pair.

[0316] In some embodiments, the second information is the index of the maximum number of SRS ports in the set of terminal capability values.

[0317] In some embodiments, the at least two panels corresponding to the beam pair are isomorphic panels. In some embodiments, the at least two panels are panels with the same capabilities. In some embodiments, the at least two panels are panels that support the same maximum number of SRS ports. In some embodiments, the at least two panels are panels that support the same maximum rank or maximum number of layers.

[0318] In some embodiments, the number of beams in the beam pair is the same as the number of panels in the at least two panels. In other words, at least two beams in the beam pair correspond one-to-one with at least two panels.

[0319] In some embodiments, each second piece of information occupies 1 bit or 2 bits.

[0320] In one embodiment, a terminal capability value index is used to indicate the maximum number of SRS ports for at least two antenna panels corresponding to a beam pair, and different index values ​​can correspond to different maximum SRS port numbers.

[0321] In one embodiment, taking simultaneous uplink transmission as an example, terminal device 10 can use beam management, such as beam measurement and reporting, to allow network device 20 to select and indicate beam pairs or antenna panels for uplink multi-panel transmission. For example, beam measurement may include: terminal device 10 receiving multiple CSI-RS resources or multiple SSB resources indicated by the base station through TCI, etc., measuring all CSI-RS resources or SSB resources, and determining the CRI or SSBRI suitable for simultaneous uplink transmission, wherein the CRI or SSBRI corresponds to at least two beams suitable for simultaneous uplink transmission, i.e., a beam pair.

[0322] For example, terminal device 10 has four antenna panels: panel#0, panel#1, panel#2, and panel#3. The maximum number of SRS ports supported by the four antenna panels are 4, 4, 2, and 2, respectively. The UE capability value set, which terminal device 10 pre-sends to network device 20, can be defined as {4, 2}. Assuming the antenna panels corresponding to the beam pair to be reported are panel#0 and panel#1, the UE capability value set index is UE capability value set index#0, indicating that at least two antenna panels support a maximum of 4 SRS ports. Assuming the antenna panels corresponding to the beam pair to be reported are panel#2 and panel#3, the UE capability value set index is UE capability value set index#1, indicating that at least two antenna panels support a maximum of 2 SRS ports. The UE capability value set index#0 can also be simplified to cap_index0, and the UE capability value set index#1 can be simplified to cap_index1, among other representations. This application does not limit these representations.

[0323] In one example, the first and second information are represented as: {CRI0+L1-RSRP0; CRI1+L1-RSRP1, cap_index0}. Here, “CRI0+L1-RSRP0” represents the measurement result of the first beam in the beam pair, corresponding to panel #0; “CRI1+L1-RSRP1” represents the measurement result of the second beam in the beam pair, corresponding to panel #1; and “cap_index0” represents the maximum number of SRS ports supported by the two antenna panels, which is 4.

[0324] In some embodiments, sending the first information and the second information includes sending the fourth information, which carries the first information and the second information. In some embodiments, the fourth information is a beam report, or information for reporting beam measurement results.

[0325] In some embodiments, the fourth information is at least one of the following:

[0326] • Group-based beam reporting;

[0327] • Group-based downlink beam reporting;

[0328] • Group-based uplink beam reporting;

[0329] • Competency report;

[0330] • Independent signaling.

[0331] In some embodiments, the second information described above corresponds to the second information of each beam pair in at least one beam pair. For example, the content carried by the fourth information is exemplarily as follows:

[0332] {Beam information of beam pair 1, index of the first terminal capability value corresponding to beam pair 1;}

[0333] Beam information for beam pair 2, and index of the second terminal capability value corresponding to beam pair 2;

[0334] Beam information for beam pair 3, index of the third terminal capability value corresponding to beam pair 3;

[0335] The terminal capability indexes corresponding to different beam pairs can be the same, different, or partially the same and partially different.

[0336] In some embodiments, the aforementioned second information is a second piece of information corresponding to at least one beam pair. For example,

[0337] {Beam information for beam pair 1, beam information for beam pair 2, beam information for beam pair 3, fourth terminal capability value index};

[0338] In this reporting method, the second information is the same for different beam pairs.

[0339] In some embodiments, receiving first information and second information includes receiving fourth information, the fourth information carrying the first information and the second information. In some embodiments, the fourth information is a beam report, or information used to report beam measurement results.

[0340] Step 205: Network device 20 schedules terminal device 10.

[0341] In some embodiments, network device 20 schedules uplink multi-panel transmissions of terminal device 10. This uplink multi-panel transmission may also be referred to as uplink multi-TRP transmission. This uplink multi-panel transmission can be either simultaneous uplink transmission or non-simultaneous uplink transmission.

[0342] In some embodiments, network device 20 determines the beam pair to be used in this scheduling based on first information.

[0343] In some embodiments, network device 20 determines the scheduling parameters to be used in this scheduling based on second information. In some embodiments, the scheduling parameters include at least one of the following: the number of ports used for uplink multi-panel transmission, the number of layers, the rank, and the precoding matrix.

[0344] Step 206: Terminal device 10 reports the first information but does not report the second information.

[0345] In some embodiments, network device 20 receives first information sent by terminal device 10.

[0346] In some embodiments, if the second information of the first beam pair has already been reported, the second information of the first beam pair will not be reported again.

[0347] In some embodiments, the second information of the first beam pair remains unchanged, and the second information of the first beam pair is not reported again;

[0348] In some embodiments, the third information remains unchanged, and the second information of the first beam pair is not reported again. In some embodiments, the third information is the maximum rank (maxRank), which is configured by the network device 20. The maximum rank is configured at the terminal level, the beam pair level, or the panel level.

[0349] The first beam pair is one or more beam pairs among at least one pair of beam pairs.

[0350] In some embodiments, the terminal device 10 reports first information but not second information when a certain condition is met. This condition indicates that the second information for the first beam pair has already been reported; in some embodiments, this condition indicates that the second information for the first beam pair has not changed from historically reported second information.

[0351] In one example, the aforementioned fourth information carries first information about the multiple beam pairs being measured, and second information about some of the beam pairs. For example,

[0352] {Beam information of beam pair 1, index of the first terminal capability value corresponding to beam pair 1;}

[0353] Beam information for beam pair 2, empty;

[0354] If the beam information of beam pair 3 and the third terminal capability index corresponding to beam pair 2 are reported, it means that the terminal capability index of beam pair 2 has already been reported and does not need to be reported again.

[0355] In another example, the fourth information mentioned above only carries the first information of the measured multiple beam pairs. For example, {beam information of beam pair 1, beam information of beam pair 2, beam information of beam pair 3} means that the second information of beam pair 1, beam pair 2, and beam pair 3 has not changed compared to the historical reports, or in other words, it has not changed compared to the last report, and there is no need to report it again.

[0356] Step 207: Network device 20 schedules terminal device 10.

[0357] In some embodiments, network device 20 schedules uplink multi-panel transmissions of terminal device 10. This uplink multi-panel transmission may also be referred to as uplink multi-TRP transmission. This uplink multi-panel transmission can be either simultaneous uplink transmission or non-simultaneous uplink transmission.

[0358] In some embodiments, the network device 20 determines the beam pair used for this scheduling based on the first information of at least one beam pair (including the first beam pair) received this time.

[0359] In some embodiments, network device 20 determines the scheduling parameters to be used in this scheduling based on second information of at least one beam pair (including second information of the first beam pair received historically). In some embodiments, the scheduling parameters include at least one of the following: the number of ports used for uplink multi-panel transmission, the number of layers, the rank, and the precoding matrix.
