[0041] This application mainly relates to the communication between terminal devices and network devices. Among them:

For example, it can be a Base Station (BS) (which can also be referred to as base station equipment).

The terminal equipment may also be referred to as User Equipment (UE), a terminal, etc.

[0044] As described in the background technology, how to realize the target perception function of SRS is a technical problem that needs to be solved urgently.

[0045] The inventors of the present application have discovered that the downlink control information (DCI) in the existing protocol, such as DCI in format 2-3, can enable multiple terminal devices to trigger the sending of SRS simultaneously, and can also trigger one terminal device to send SRS simultaneously on multiple component carriers / component carriers (CC).

[0046] Therefore, it is possible to consider modifying the DCI format 2-3 so that it can realize the identification of multiple targets.

[0047] In the technical solution of the present application, by configuring PUCCH resource indication information for the terminal device, the terminal device can transmit the perception result of SRS on the PUCCH resource indicated by the PUCCH resource indication information, thereby realizing the target perception function of SRS in the empathy integration scenario.

[0048] In order to make the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present application more obvious and easy to understand, the specific embodiments of the present application are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0049] See also Figure 1 The method provided in this application specifically includes the following steps:

[0050] Step 101: The network device sends Physical Uplink Control Channel (PUCCH) resource indication information (PUCCH Resource Indicator, PRI) to the terminal device.

[0051] Step 102: The terminal device reports the sensing result of the Sounding Reference Signal (SRS) on the PUCCH resource indicated by the PUCCH resource indication information.

[0052] It should be noted that the sequence numbers of the steps in this embodiment do not represent the limitation of the execution sequence of each step.

[0053] It can be understood that in specific implementation, the communication method can be implemented in the form of a software program, and the software program runs in a processor integrated inside a chip or a chip module. This method can also be implemented in the form of software combined with hardware, which is not limited in this application.

[0054] In this embodiment, the PUCCH resource indicated by the PUCCH resource indication information is used to transmit the sensing result of the Sounding Reference Signal (SRS).

[0055] In specific implementation, between Step 101 and Step 102, the terminal device can send an SRS to the sensing target and receive the reflected echo signal of the sensing target for the SRS. The terminal device can obtain the sensing result according to the reflected echo signal and report it to the network device through Step 102.

[0056] It can be understood that the specific implementation of the terminal device receiving the sensing signal and obtaining the sensing result can refer to the prior art, and this application will not elaborate here.

[0057] In a non-limiting embodiment, please refer to Figure 2 , in Step 201, the network device sends Downlink Control Information (DCI) to the terminal device, and the DCI carries the PUCCH resource indication information.

[0058] In this embodiment, the DCI includes at least one block, and each block includes an SRS request (SRS request) and a Transmission Power Control (TPC) command.

[0059] In a specific implementation manner, in order to make the DCI carry the PUCCH resource indication information, the PUCCH resource indication information can be carried in each block. Specifically, the idle bits in each block can be used to carry the PUCCH resource indication information, or new bits can be added in each block to carry the PUCCH resource indication information.

[0060] For example, for block X (block number x), it includes the following: SRS request, transmission power control command, and PUCCH resource indication information.

[0061] In a specific embodiment, in order to enable DCI to carry PUCCH resource indication information, an indication field can be added to the DCI, and the added indication field carries the PUCCH resource indication information.

[0062] For example, in the DCI, 10 blocks are located in the first indication field. The first indication field includes the SRS request and the transmission power control command, and the added indication field includes 10 PUCCH resource indication information. The added indication field and the first indication field are two independent indication fields.

[0063] In another non - restrictive embodiment, please refer to Figure 2 , in step 201, the network device sends Radio Resource Control (RRC) signaling to the terminal device, and the RRC signaling carries the PUCCH resource indication information.

[0064] In this embodiment, the signaling carrying the PUCCH resource indication information can be other appropriate high - layer signaling in addition to the RRC signaling, such as Media Access Control (MAC) Control Element (CE). This application does not limit this.

[0065] In step 202, the terminal device reports the sensing result of the SRS on the PUCCH resource indicated by the PUCCH resource indication information.

[0066] The DCI mentioned in the above embodiments can be the DCI of format 2 - 3. The DCI of format 2 - 3 can trigger the transmission of SRS by multiple terminal devices and adjust the TPC; the DCI of format 2 - 3 can also trigger the transmission of SRS by a single terminal device on one or more component carriers and adjust the TPC. The following will be described in detail in combination with different application scenarios.

[0067] Scenario 1: The DCI triggers multiple terminal devices to sense the same sensing target.

[0068] Such as Figure 3As shown in the figure, the network device sends DCI to UE1, UE2, and UE3, and the PUCCH resource indication information is carried in the DCI. Among them, the DCI can trigger UE1 to send the SRS set SRS set-x, trigger UE2 to send the SRS set SRS set-y, and trigger UE3 to send the SRS set SRS set-z. There are mainly the following two ways to indicate the PUCCH resource indication information through DCI.

[0069] Method 1: The network device can carry the PUCCH resource indication information in each block of the DCI. Specifically, one PUCCH resource indication information can be carried in each block. For example, the PUCCH resource indication information carried in block 1 indicates the PUCCH resource for UE1 to report the sensing result of SRS set-x; the PUCCH resource indication information carried in block 2 indicates the PUCCH resource for UE2 to report the sensing result of SRS set-y, and the PUCCH resource indication information carried in block 3 indicates the PUCCH resource for UE3 to report the sensing result of SRS set-z.

[0070] Specifically, each block may also include an SRS request and a TPC command.

[0071] In this embodiment, UE1 can report the sensing result of SRS set-x on the PUCCH resource indicated by the PUCCH resource indication information in block 1; UE2 can report the sensing result of SRS set-y on the PUCCH resource indicated by the PUCCH resource indication information in block 2; UE3 can report the sensing result of SRS set-z on the PUCCH resource indicated by the PUCCH resource indication information in block 3.

[0072] Method 2: The network device can also carry the PUCCH resource indication information in the newly added indication field of the DCI. Specifically, the newly added indication field includes 3 PUCCH resource indication information, which respectively indicate the PUCCH resource for reporting the sensing result of SRS set-x, the PUCCH resource for reporting the sensing result of SRS set-y, and the PUCCH resource for reporting the sensing result of SRS set-z.

[0073] In this embodiment, UE1-UE3 can report the sensing result of SRS set-x, the sensing result of SRS set-y, and the sensing result of SRS set-z on the PUCCH resources indicated by the 3 PUCCH resource indication information respectively.

[0074] In modes 1 and 2, the DCI can be the DCI of format 2-3, or a new DCI that includes a first Radio Network Temporary Identity (RNTI).

[0075] Specifically, the first RNTI indicates that the SRS is used for sensing. That is, the DCI including the first RNTI is a new DCI different from the traditional DCI, which can indicate that the SRS is used for sensing and carry PUCCH resource indication information.

[0076] In scenario 2, the DCI triggers a terminal device to send a set of SRSs on multiple component carriers to sense different objects in different directions, or different directions of the same object.

[0077] As Figure 4 shown, the network device sends DCI to the UE, and the PUCCH resource indication information is carried in the DCI. Among them, the DCI can trigger the UE to send the SRS set SRS set-x1 on component carrier 1, the SRS set SRS set-x2 on component carrier 2, and the SRS set SRS set-x3 on component carrier 3. Among them, the SRS set SRS set-x1 is used to sense target 1, the SRS set SRS set-x2 is used to sense target 2, and the SRS set SRS set-x3 is used to sense target 3. Component carrier 1 and component carrier 2 belong to Frequency range 1 (FR1), and component carrier 3 belongs to Frequency range 2 (FR2).

[0078] The main ways to indicate the PUCCH resource indication information by DCI are as follows.

[0079] Mode 1: The network device can carry the PUCCH resource indication information in each block of the DCI. Specifically, one PUCCH resource indication information can be carried in each block. For example, the PUCCH resource indication information carried in block 1 indicates the PUCCH resource for the UE to report the sensing result of SRS set-x1; the PUCCH resource indication information carried in block 2 indicates the PUCCH resource for the UE to report the sensing result of SRS set-x2, and the PUCCH resource indication information carried in block 3 indicates the PUCCH resource for the UE to report the sensing result of SRS set-x3.

[0080] Specifically, each block can also include an SRS request and a TPC command.

[0081] In this embodiment, the UE may report the sensing result of SRS set-x1 on the PUCCH resource indicated by the PUCCH resource indication information in block 1; the UE may report the sensing result of SRS set-x2 on the PUCCH resource indicated by the PUCCH resource indication information in block 2; the UE may report the sensing result of SRS set-x3 on the PUCCH resource indicated by the PUCCH resource indication information in block 3.

[0082] In method 2, the network device may also carry the PUCCH resource indication information in the newly added indication field of the DCI. Specifically, the newly added indication field includes three pieces of PUCCH resource indication information, respectively indicating the PUCCH resource for reporting the sensing result of SRS set-x1, the PUCCH resource for reporting the sensing result of SRS set-x2, and the PUCCH resource for reporting the sensing result of SRS set-x3.

[0083] In this embodiment, the UE may report the sensing results of SRS set-x1, SRS set-x2, and SRS set-x3 on the PUCCH resources indicated by three pieces of PUCCH resource indication information respectively.

[0084] In method 3, the network device may also carry the PUCCH resource indication information in the newly added indication field of the DCI. Specifically, the newly added indication field includes one piece of PUCCH resource indication information, indicating the PUCCH resource for reporting the sensing results of SRS set-x1, SRS set-x2, and SRS set-x3. That is to say, this PUCCH resource is used to transmit the sensing results of all SRS sets.

[0085] In method 4, the network device may also carry the PUCCH resource indication information in the newly added indication field of the DCI. Specifically, the newly added indication field includes two pieces of PUCCH resource indication information, indicating the PUCCH resource for reporting the sensing results of SRS set-x1 and SRS set-x2 and the PUCCH resource for reporting the sensing result of SRS set-x3.

[0086] Specifically, since both component carrier 1 and component carrier 2 belong to FR1, that is, belong to the same PUCCH group, the sensing results of SRS set-x1 and SRS set-x2 can be transmitted on the same PUCCH resource. Component carrier 3 belongs to FR2, and the sensing result of SRS set-x3 is transmitted on another PUCCH resource. In other words, the number of PUCCH resource indication information is the same as the number of PUCCH groups to which the SRS sets belong.

[0087] In modes 1-4, the DCI can be a DCI of format 2-3, or a new DCI that includes a first Radio Network Temporary Identity (RNTI).

[0088] Specifically, the first RNTI indicates that the SRS is used for sensing. That is, the DCI including the first RNTI is a new DCI different from the traditional DCI, which can indicate that the SRS is used for sensing and carry PUCCH resource indication information.

[0089] In scenario 3, the DCI triggers a terminal device to send an SRS set on one component carrier to sense different objects in different directions or different directions of the same object.

[0090] As Figure 5 shown, the network device sends DCI to the UE, and the DCI carries PUCCH resource indication information. Among them, the DCI can trigger the UE to send SRS sets SRSset-x1, SRS set-x2, and SRS set-x3 at different times on component carrier 1. Among them, the SRS set SRSset-x1 is used to sense target 1, the SRS set SRS set-x2 is used to sense target 2, and the SRS set SRS set-x3 is used to sense target 3.

[0091] The main ways to indicate PUCCH resource indication information through DCI are as follows.

[0092] Mode 1: The network device can carry PUCCH resource indication information in each block of the DCI. Specifically, one PUCCH resource indication information can be carried in each block. For example, the PUCCH resource indication information carried in block 1 indicates the PUCCH resource for the UE to report the sensing result of SRS set-x1; the PUCCH resource indication information carried in block 2 indicates the PUCCH resource for the UE to report the sensing result of SRSset-x2, and the PUCCH resource indication information carried in block 3 indicates the PUCCH resource for the UE to report the sensing result of SRSset-x3.

[0093] Specifically, each block can also include corresponding SRS requests and TPC commands.

[0094] In this embodiment, the UE may report the sensing result of SRS set-x1 on the PUCCH resource indicated by the PUCCH resource indication information in block 1; the UE may report the sensing result of SRS set-x2 on the PUCCH resource indicated by the PUCCH resource indication information in block 2; the UE may report the sensing result of SRS set-x3 on the PUCCH resource indicated by the PUCCH resource indication information in block 3.

[0095] Method 2: The network device may also carry the PUCCH resource indication information in the newly added indication field of the DCI. Specifically, the newly added indication field includes three pieces of PUCCH resource indication information, which respectively indicate the PUCCH resource for reporting the sensing result of SRS set-x1, the PUCCH resource for reporting the sensing result of SRS set-x2, and the PUCCH resource for reporting the sensing result of SRS set-x3.

[0096] In this embodiment, the UE may report the sensing results of SRS set-x1, SRS set-x2, and SRS set-x3 on the PUCCH resources indicated by three pieces of PUCCH resource indication information respectively.

[0097] Method 3: The network device may also carry the PUCCH resource indication information in the newly added indication field of the DCI. Specifically, the newly added indication field includes one piece of PUCCH resource indication information, which indicates the PUCCH resource for reporting the sensing results of SRS set-x1, SRS set-x2, and SRS set-x3. That is to say, this PUCCH resource is used to transmit the sensing results of all SRS sets.

[0098] Furthermore, this PUCCH resource has a first offset from the resource where the last SRS set among multiple SRS sets, that is, SRS set-x3, is located. Specifically, taking the time slot where SRS set-x3 is located as the reference time slot, the position of the PUCCH resource is obtained by pushing backward by the first offset.

[0099] Among them, the first offset is related to the number of SRS sets. The more the number of SRS sets, the larger the first offset.

[0100] In Methods 1-3, the DCI may be DCI format 2-3, or may be a new DCI, which includes a first RNTI.

[0101] Specifically, the first RNTI indicates that the SRS is used for sensing. That is to say, the DCI including the first RNTI is a new DCI different from the traditional DCI, which can indicate that the SRS is used for sensing and carry the PUCCH resource indication information.

[0102] As another implementation, when the network side (which can also be referred to as a network device) configures the SRS resource set or SRS resources through high-layer signaling, it can bind the SRS resource set to the PUCCH resource, or bind the SRS resource to the PUCCH resource. For example, the network side can configure 1 SRS resource to be associated with 1 PUCCH resource at the same time, and then the sensing results obtained through the SRS resource are fed back through its associated PUCCH resource. Or, the network side can configure 1 SRS resource set to be associated with 1 PUCCH resource at the same time, and then the sensing results obtained through the SRS resource set are fed back through its associated PUCCH resource.
