The embodiment of the present disclosure does not limit the specific implementation method of the base station 120.

[0049] A wireless connection can be established between the base station 120 and the user equipment 110 via a wireless air interface. In various implementations, the wireless air interface is a wireless air interface based on the fourth generation mobile communication network technology (4G) standard; or, the wireless air interface is a wireless air interface based on the fifth generation mobile communication network technology (5G) standard, for example, the wireless air interface is a new air interface; or, the wireless air interface can also be a wireless air interface based on the next generation mobile communication network technology standard of 5G.

[0054] To facilitate understanding by those skilled in the art, the embodiments of the present disclosure list multiple implementation methods to clearly illustrate the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present disclosure. Of course, those skilled in the art will understand that the multiple embodiments provided in the embodiments of the present disclosure can be implemented individually, or can be implemented together with the methods of other embodiments in the embodiments of the present disclosure, or can be implemented together with some methods in other related technologies individually or in combination; the embodiments of the present disclosure do not limit this.

[0055] To better understand the embodiments of the present disclosure, the following describes relevant scenarios of mTRP:

[0056] In one embodiment, MU-MIMO supports a maximum of 12 orthogonal DMRS ports. Because MU-MIMO will support more UEs during CJT, CJT needs to support more orthogonal DMRS ports.

[0057] In one embodiment, the DMRS port information for the physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) scheduled in format 1-1 or format 1-2 of the downlink control information (DCI) is indicated by the antenna port indication field of the DCI. The correspondence between the value of the indication field and the DMRS port information is predefined. In one embodiment, see Table 1 for the correspondence between the value of the indication field and the DMRS port when dmrs-Type = 1 and maxLength = 1.

[0058] Table 1:

[0059]

[0060]

[0061] It is understood that each element in Table 1 exists independently. These elements are illustratively listed in the same table, but this does not mean that all elements in the table must exist simultaneously as shown in 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 will understand that the value of each element in Table 1 is an independent embodiment. In addition, each row, each column, or any combination of multiple element values ​​in the table can also be used as an independent embodiment.

[0062] It should be noted that the correspondence between the value of the port indication field in DCI format 1-1 or DCI format 1-2 and the DMRS port information does not apply to users using the newly introduced DMRS. For example, in the related art, when the protocol dmrs-Type = 1, maxLength = 1, there are only 4 DMRS ports at most, while the newly introduced DMRS has 8 DMRS ports. When using the DMRS mode, the correspondence in this table cannot be used to indicate the port for the user.

[0063] In addition to the scenarios mentioned in the above embodiments, in other scenarios, the original correspondence may not be sufficient to indicate the required port. The technical solution of the present disclosure is not limited to the DMRS scenario, but can also be applied to all scenarios with the above scenarios.

[0074] In one embodiment, the number of DMRS ports supported by the second type of DMRS is N times the number of DMRS ports supported by the first type of DMRS. For example, N=2, i.e., the second type of DMRS supports twice the number of DMRS ports supported by the first type of DMRS, which is an enhancement of the number of DMRS ports supported by the first type of DMRS, where N is a real number greater than 1.

[0083] It should be noted that those skilled in the art will understand that the method provided in the embodiments of the present disclosure may be executed alone or together with some methods in the embodiments of the present disclosure or some methods in related technologies.

[0084] As shown in FIG3 , this embodiment provides a method for indicating information of a demodulation reference signal (DMRS) port, wherein the method is performed by an access network device and includes:

[0086] The indication information is used to indicate information of a DMRS port of the second type DMRS.

[0087] In one embodiment, indication information is sent to the terminal; wherein the indication information is used to indicate information of a DMRS port of the second type DMRS used for CJT.

[0088] In one embodiment, the indication information is sent to the terminal via high-layer signaling, wherein the indication information is used to indicate information about a DMRS port of the second type DMRS. The high-layer signaling may be radio resource control (RRC) signaling or medium access control (MAC) control element (CE) signaling.

[0089] In one embodiment, the indication information is sent to the terminal via DCI; wherein the indication information is used to indicate information of a DMRS port of the second type DMRS.

[0090] In one embodiment, indication information is sent to the terminal; wherein the indication information is used to indicate information of DMRS ports of the second type DMRS; the number of DMRS ports supported by the second type DMRS is greater than the number of DMRS ports supported by the first type DMRS.

[0091] In one embodiment, indication information is sent to a terminal; wherein the indication information includes first indication information and second indication information; the first indication information includes a first indication identifier; the second indication information includes a second indication identifier; wherein the first indication identifier is used to indicate a first relationship in a preset corresponding relationship, and the second indication identifier is used to indicate a DMRS port of a second type of DMRS determined by the first relationship; the first relationship is one of the preset corresponding relationships; wherein the preset relationship includes a relationship between an indication identifier and a DMRS port, and each indication identifier corresponds to a DMRS port; the number of DMRS ports supported by the second type of DMRS is greater than the number of DMRS ports supported by the first type of DMRS.

[0092] In one embodiment, the number of DMRS ports supported by the second type of DMRS is N times the number of DMRS ports supported by the first type of DMRS. For example, N=2, i.e., the second type of DMRS supports twice the number of DMRS ports supported by the first type of DMRS, which is an enhancement on the number of DMRS ports supported by the first type of DMRS.

[0093] Referring again to Table 1, the preset correspondence may be the relationship between the indicator value and the DMRS port shown in Table 1. The first relationship may be a relationship between the indicator value and the corresponding DMRS port determined from the preset correspondence based on the indicator value. For example, the relationship between the indicator value "10" and the corresponding DMRS port numbers 0, 1, 2, and 3.

[0094] In one embodiment, the port numbers of the DMRS ports of the first type DMRS are 0, 1, 2, and 3, and the port numbers of the DMRS ports of the second type DMRS are 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7.

[0095] In one embodiment, indication information is sent to a terminal; wherein the indication information includes first indication information and second indication information; the first indication information includes a first indication identifier; the second indication information includes a second indication identifier; the second indication identifier indicates an offset value offset, and the offset is used to indicate: the terminal determines the information of the DMRS port of the second type of DMRS based on the DMRS port and offset in the first relationship corresponding to the first indication identifier; wherein the first indication identifier is used to indicate the first relationship in the preset corresponding relationship, and the first relationship is one of the preset corresponding relationships; wherein the preset relationship includes the relationship between the indication identifier and the DMRS port, and each indication identifier corresponds to the DMRS port; the number of DMRS ports supported by the second type of DMRS is greater than the number of DMRS ports supported by the first type of DMRS.

[0096] In one embodiment, indication information is sent to a terminal; wherein the indication information includes first indication information and second indication information; the first indication information includes a first indication identifier; the second indication information includes a second indication identifier; the second indication identifier indicates an offset value offset, and the offset is used to indicate: the terminal determines the information of the DMRS port of the second type of DMRS based on the DMRS port and offset in the first relationship corresponding to the first indication identifier; wherein the first indication identifier is used to indicate the first relationship in the preset corresponding relationship, and the first relationship is one of the preset corresponding relationships; wherein the preset relationship includes the relationship between the indication identifier and the DMRS port, and each indication identifier corresponds to the DMRS port; the first relationship is used to indicate one or more DMRS ports of the first type of DMRS; the number of DMRS ports supported by the second type of DMRS is greater than the number of DMRS ports supported by the first type of DMRS.

[0097] For example, referring to FIG. 4 , the preset relationship is the relationship between the indicator values ​​in Table 1 and the DMRS ports of the first type of DMRS, where the DMRS ports of the first type of DMRS are 0, 1, 2, and 3. If the first indicator indicates "10," then the first indicator indicates a first relationship between "10" and the ports {0, 1, 2, 3}. If the second indicator indicates "2," an offset of 2 is performed, and the DMRS ports of the second type of DMRS obtained after the offset are {2, 3, 4, 5}.

[0098] In one embodiment, indication information is sent to a terminal; wherein the indication information includes first indication information and second indication information; the first indication information includes a first indication identifier; the second indication information includes a second indication identifier; the second indication identifier indicates an offset value, the offset being used to indicate that the terminal determines information about a DMRS port of a second type of DMRS based on the DMRS port and the offset in a first relationship corresponding to the first indication identifier; wherein the first indication identifier is used to indicate a first relationship in a preset corresponding relationship, the first relationship being one of the preset corresponding relationships; wherein the preset relationship includes a relationship between an indication identifier and a DMRS port, each indication identifier corresponding to a DMRS port; the number of DMRS ports supported by the second type of DMRS is greater than the number of DMRS ports supported by the first type of DMRS; the first relationship is used to indicate one or more DMRS ports; wherein the second indication identifier is a first offset, the first offset being used to indicate that the terminal determines the DMRS port of the second type of DMRS based on the DMRS port in the first relationship corresponding to the first indication identifier and the first offset; and / or, the second indication identifier is a second offset, the second offset being used to indicate that the terminal determines the DMRS port of the second type of DMRS based on the DMRS port in the first relationship corresponding to the first indication identifier and the second offset.

[0099] In one embodiment, the offset values ​​corresponding to at least two DMRS ports of the first type of DMRS are different.

[0100] Exemplarily, referring to FIG4 , the preset relationship is the relationship between the indicator value in Table 1 and the DMRS port of the first type of DMRS, where the DMRS ports of the first type of DMRS are 0, 1, 2, and 3. If the first indicator indicates "10," then the first indicator indicates a first relationship between "10" and the ports {0, 1, 2, 3}. If the second indicator indicates a first offset of "4" and a second offset of "5," where the first offset is the offset value of ports 0, 1, and 2, and the second offset is the offset value of port 3, after performing the offset, the DMRS ports of the second type of DMRS obtained after the offset are {4, 5, 6, 8}.

If the first indicator indicates "10", then the first indicator indicates the first relationship between "10" and the ports {0, 1, 2}. If the second indicator indicates a first offset, for example, "0", and a second offset, for example, "1", wherein the first offset is the offset value of ports 0 and 1 in the same CDM group, and the second offset is the offset value of port 2 in another CDM group, after performing the offset, the DMRS ports of the second type of DMRS obtained after the offset are {0, 1, 3}.

[0107] For example, referring to Table 2, the relationship between the first type of DMRS and the DMRS port may be a relationship indicated by an indication value of 0 to 12, and the relationship between the second type of DMRS and the DMRS port may be a relationship indicated by 0 to X.

[0110]

[0111] It can be understood that the second table is an extended table based on the first table.

[0112] It should be understood that each element in Table 2 exists independently. These elements are illustratively listed in the same table, but this does not necessarily mean that all elements in the table must exist simultaneously as shown. The value of each element is independent of the value of any other element in Table 1. Therefore, those skilled in the art will understand that the value of each element in Table 1 is an independent embodiment. Furthermore, each row, column, or any combination of values ​​of multiple elements in the table can also serve as an independent embodiment.

[0113] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, indication information is sent to a terminal; wherein the indication information is used to indicate information about a DMRS port of a second type of DMRS. Here, since the indication information indicates information about a DMRS port of the second type of DMRS, after receiving the indication information, the terminal can determine the DMRS port based on the information about the DMRS port of the second type of DMRS indicated by the indication information. Compared to a case where only the DMRS port of the first type of DMRS can be determined, when the DMRS port of the second type of DMRS exists, the terminal can clearly determine the DMRS port of different antenna signal types and use the corresponding DMRS port for communication. This improves adaptability and makes wireless transmission based on the DMRS port more reliable. In addition, in an embodiment of the present disclosure, on the one hand, the correspondence between the indication value of the first type of DMRS and the DMRS port can be partially reused to reduce the complexity of the design. On the other hand, it can better support the switching between the first type of DMRS and the second type of DMRS, and can indicate the appropriate DMRS mapping method to the user based on the actual channel conditions.

[0281] In order to better understand the embodiments of the present disclosure, the technical solution of the present disclosure is described below through an exemplary embodiment:

[0282] Example 1:

[0283] In one embodiment, the user receives enhanced DMRS port indication information from the network side.

[0284] In one embodiment, the corresponding relationship between the value of the indication field and the DMRS port in the related technology is fully reused. It can include method 1 and method 2.

[0285] Among them, method 1: introducing an offset indication.

[0286] In one embodiment, referring again to Figure 3, for DMRS etype 1, the antenna indication field can only indicate one or more of ports 0, 1, 2, and 3. To indicate ports 4, 5, 6, and 7, an offset is added to the number of ports indicated by the antenna field. For example, if the value of the indication field is 10, the indicated ports are {0, 1, 2, 3}. If the offset value is 2, the actual ports are {2, 3, 4, 5}.

[0287] Among them, method 2: introducing two offset values

[0288] In one embodiment, the offset values ​​of the two indicated CDM groups are introduced. For example, if the ports indicated to the user are {0, 1, 3}, the offset value offset1 for CDM group 1 is 0, and the offset value offset2 for CDM group 2 is 1, then the final ports are {0, 1, 4}. Without introducing the two offset values, the multiplexing table cannot indicate such a combination.

[0289] In one embodiment, the correspondence between the value of the indication field and the DMRS port in the related art is partially reused.

[0290] In one embodiment, the table of related protocols (such as Table 1) is expanded and a portion is added after the table of related protocols. For example, for the table of type 1 single symbols, the expansion is performed as shown in Table 3.

[0291] Table 3:

[0292]

[0293] It should be understood that each element in Table 3 exists independently. These elements are illustratively listed in the same table, but this does not necessarily mean that all elements in the table must exist simultaneously as shown. The value of each element is independent of the value of any other element in Table 1. Therefore, those skilled in the art will understand that the value of each element in Table 1 is an independent embodiment. Furthermore, each row, column, or any combination of values ​​of multiple elements in the table can also serve as an independent embodiment.

[0294] In one embodiment, the antenna indication field is extended to support larger values. For values ​​greater than 11, users can identify the mapping type as etype 1. However, when the antenna indication field value is between 0 and 11, additional information is required to inform the user of the mapping type.

[0295] In one embodiment, the indication information may be indicated through higher layer signaling or in DCI.

[0296] Other embodiments of the present invention will readily occur to those skilled in the art after considering the specification and practicing the invention disclosed herein. This disclosure is intended to cover any variations, uses, or adaptations of the invention that follow from the general principles of the invention and include common knowledge or customary techniques in the art not disclosed herein. The description and examples are to be considered as exemplary only, with the true scope and spirit of the invention being indicated by the following claims.

[0297] It should be understood that the present invention is not limited to the exact construction described above and shown in the drawings, and that various modifications and changes may be made without departing from the scope thereof. The scope of the present invention is limited only by the appended claims.
