In addition, the use of "and / or" in the specification and claims means at least one of the connected objects. For example, A and / or B means including three cases: A alone, B alone, and both A and B exist.

[0050] In the embodiments of the present application, words such as "exemplary" or "for example" are used to represent examples, illustrations, or explanations. Any embodiment or design solution described as "exemplary" or "for example" in the embodiments of the present application should not be construed as being more preferred or having more advantages than other embodiments or design solutions. Rather, the use of words such as "exemplary" or "for example" is intended to present relevant concepts in a specific manner.

[0051] To facilitate the understanding of the embodiments of the present application, the following technical points are introduced first:

[0052] Regarding the enhancement of beam failure recovery (BFR) for multi-transmit receive point (M-TRP):

[0053] 1) Enhancement of beam failure detection reference signal (BFD-RS) and new beam indication reference signal (NBI-RS).

[0054] a) Explicit configuration of BFD-RS and NBI-RS enhancement: Two sets are configured for each, and each set corresponds to one TRP.

[0055] The number of BFD-RS resources in each BFD-RS set is the UE capability and can be configured as 1.

[0056] b) Implicit configuration of BFD-RS:

[0057] Multi-downlink control information (M-DCI) mode supports implicit configuration of BFD-RS, and the BFD-RS set corresponds to the control resource set pool index (CORESET Pool Index);

[0058] Single-downlink control information (S-DCI) does not support implicit configuration

[0059] c) The BFD-RS set can be configured through radio resource control (RRC) or through medium access control-control element (MAC-CE), as Figure 1 shown.

[0060] 2) Enhancement of beam failure recovery.

[0061] a) Enhancement of Beam Failure Recovery Request (BFRQ): Report BFRQ through MAC-CE, and request uplink resources through Physical Uplink Control Channel (PUCCH)-Scheduling Request (SR).

[0062] b) PUCCH-SR Configuration: Each cell group (Master Cell Group (MCG), Secondary Cell Group (SCG), or PUCCH cell group) can be configured with up to 2 PUCCH-SR resources at most.

[0063] c) PUCCH-SR Resource Selection: When beam failure is detected on at most one BFD-RS for each Carrier Aggregation (CC), and different CCs are associated with the same PUCCH-SR resource, select the PUCCH-SR resource associated with the failed BFD-RS to send SR. Otherwise, which PUCCH-SR resource is specifically used to send SR depends on the UE.

[0064] d) MAC-CE Report Content: Compared with the Release 16 (R16) Secondary Cell (Scell) BFR, the Identity (ID) is added to indicate the BFD-RS set index, and the Si is added to indicate the ScellBFR situation corresponding to 2 TRPs. See Figure 2 。

[0065] See Figure 3 For details, an embodiment of this application provides a transmission method applied to a terminal. The specific steps include: Step 301.

[0076] Among them, the configuration of the third SR is configured by the first node or the second node.

[0077] Optionally, the serving cell of the terminal is the cell served by the first node, and the identifier of the cell served by the first node is different from the identifier of the cell served by the second node. Optionally, the downlink of the terminal accesses the first node, and the uplink of the terminal accesses the second node.

[0078] In the case where the first node and the second node serve the UE simultaneously, there can be a 0 ms real-time information interaction capability between the first node and the second node to interact control signaling, data, configuration information, etc.

[0082] For the co-frequency deployment scenario of the first node and the second node, the downlink and uplink of the terminal can be connected to the first node and the second node respectively, effectively avoiding the problem of strong interference of the downlink of the first node to the downlink of the second node.

[0083] Optionally, the first downlink channel or signal includes at least one of a Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH), a Physical Downlink Shared Channel (PDSCH), a Synchronization Signal and PBCH block (SSB), and a Channel State Information-Reference Signal (CSI-RS).

[0085] In an implementation manner of this application, the method further includes:

[0086] Receiving a second downlink channel or signal from the second node. It should be noted that the second downlink channel or signal received by the terminal from the second node is different from the first downlink channel or signal received by the terminal from the first node, further avoiding the problem of strong interference of the downlink of the first node to the downlink of the second node. In an implementation manner of this application, the second downlink channel or signal is associated with the cell ID of the cell served by the second node. Optionally, the second downlink channel or signal is used for terminal measurement.

[0087] In an implementation manner of this application, the second downlink channel or signal is configured as a reference reference signal for the Transmission Configuration Indicator (TCI) state or SpatialRelationInfo of the second downlink channel or signal;

[0088] Wherein, the reference reference signal is used to determine the uplink transmission beam when the terminal transmits an uplink channel or signal.

[0089] In an implementation manner of the present application, the second downlink channel or signal is configured as a path loss (PL) reference signal of an uplink channel or signal;

[0092] In an implementation manner of the present application, the first information includes the configuration of the first beam failure detection reference signal set and the configuration of the second beam failure detection reference signal set.

[0093] In this embodiment, explicit configuration of two sets of beam failure detection reference signals is achieved through the first information, namely the first beam failure detection reference signal set (BFD-RS set-1) and the second beam failure detection reference signal set (BFD-RS set-2).

[0094] In an implementation manner of the present application, the first information includes the TCI state of the control resource set (CORESET) used by the terminal to monitor the PDCCH, and the TCI state or spatial relationship information used by the terminal to transmit the PUCCH or PUSCH;

[0095] wherein, the index of the reference signal indicated in the TCI state of the CORESET used by the terminal to monitor the PDCCH is the same as the index of the reference signal in the first beam failure detection reference signal set;

[0096] The index of the reference signal indicated in the TCI state or spatial relationship information used by the terminal to transmit the PUCCH or PUSCH is the same as the index of the reference signal in the second beam failure detection reference signal set.

[0097] The implicit configuration of the first beam failure detection reference signal set (BFD-RS set-1) is achieved in the above manner.

[0098] Optionally, the first information includes the TCI state or spatial relationship information used by the terminal to transmit the PUCCH or PUSCH, and the index of the reference signal indicated in the TCI state or spatial relationship information used by the terminal to transmit the PUCCH or PUSCH is the same as the index of the reference signal in the second beam failure detection reference signal set.

[0099] Implement implicit configuration of the second beam failure detection reference signal set (BFD-RS set-2) in the above manner.

[0100] In an embodiment of the present application, the reference signals in the first beam failure detection reference signal set and / or the second beam failure detection reference signal set include reference signals of Quasi-Colocation (QCL) type D in the TCI state.

[0101] In an embodiment of the present application, after obtaining the first information, the method further includes:

[0102] Determine the Physical Random Access Channel (PRACH) resources according to the target candidate beam reference signal identifier;

[0103] Send a PRACH according to the PRACH resources.

[0104] For example, the target candidate beam reference signal may be a candidate beam reference signal in the first candidate beam reference signal set and / or the second candidate beam reference signal set.

[0105] It should be noted that if a PRACH is sent to the first node, since the uplink coverage performance of the first node is limited, the first node may not receive the PRACH, so the PRACH is sent to the second node.

[0106] In an embodiment of the present application, sending a PRACH according to the PRACH resources includes:

[0107] Determine the spatial domain filtering (or beam direction) of the PRACH according to the TCI state or the target candidate beam reference signal identifier;

[0115] For example, the second information includes but is not limited to MAC CE, that is, MAC CE supports updating the TCI state of the PRACH or the spatial relationship information.

[0116] In an implementation manner of the present application, sending the PRACH according to the PRACH resource and the spatial domain filtering of the PRACH includes:

[0117] Sending the PRACH according to the PRACH resource, the spatial domain filtering of the PRACH, and the timing advance (TA);

[0118] Wherein, the TA is determined based on the SSB associated with the first parameter. For example, the first parameter represents the cell identifier of the second node, that is, the TA is associated with the cell identifier of the second node (such as a small station).

[0119] In an implementation manner of the present application, after obtaining the first information, the method further includes:

[0120] Sending a scheduling request and / or third information, where the third information carries a beam failure recovery request.

[0121] Optionally, the terminal sends a scheduling request and / or third information to the second node. For example, the third information includes but is not limited to MAC CE, that is, both the SR and / or the PUSCH carrying the MAC CE of the beam failure recovery request are sent to the second node.

[0122] In an implementation manner of the present application, the third information further includes at least one of the following: a fourth information and a fifth information, where the fourth information is used to indicate one of the following: downlink channel or signal failure, uplink channel or signal failure, downlink channel or signal and uplink channel or signal failure, and the fifth information is used to indicate a candidate beam reference signal identifier.

[0123] In an embodiment of the present application, before or after obtaining the first information, the method further includes:

[0124] When the terminal receives the first number of symbols after the PDCCH in the search space set for restoring the search space identifier, send an uplink channel or signal through spatial domain filtering of the PRACH (for example, send an uplink channel or signal to a second node).

[0125] Optionally, the spatial reception parameters of the first downlink channel or signal remain unchanged.

[0126] Optionally, the first number may be 28, but is not limited thereto.

[0127] In an embodiment of the present application, before or after obtaining the first information, the method further includes:

[0128] When the second DCI received by the terminal has a flipped value of the new data indicator (NDI) compared to the first DCI scheduling the PUSCH for transmitting the beam recovery request, and the hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) process identifier in the second DCI and the first DCI, send an uplink channel or signal through spatial domain filtering of the candidate beam (for example, send an uplink channel or signal to a second node).

[0129] Optionally, the spatial reception parameters of the first downlink channel or signal remain unchanged

[0130] In an embodiment of the present application, before or after obtaining the first information, the method further includes:

[0131] When the terminal receives the second number of symbols after the PDCCH in the search space set (search space set) for restoring the search space identifier, receive a downlink channel or signal (for example, receive the first downlink channel or signal sent by the first node) using the same quasi - co - location parameters as the candidate beam.

[0132] Optionally, the spatial reception parameters of the uplink channel or signal remain unchanged.

[0133] Optionally, the second number may be 28, but is not limited thereto.

[0134] In an embodiment of the present application, before or after obtaining the first information, the method further includes, including:

[0135] When the fourth DCI received by the terminal, compared with the third DCI scheduling the PUSCH for transmitting a beam recovery request, the NDI values in the fourth DCI and the third DCI are flipped, and when the HARQ process identifiers in the fourth DCI and the third DCI are the same, receive the downlink channel or signal (such as receiving the first downlink channel or signal sent by the first node) using the same quasi-co-location parameters as the candidate beam.

[0136] Optionally, the spatial reception parameters of the uplink channel or signal remain unchanged.

[0137] In this embodiment, the terminal can obtain information related to beam failure recovery, and thus can perform the beam failure recovery process. Further, the terminal accesses the first node in the downlink, and the terminal accesses the second node in the uplink, which can avoid the downlink interference of the first node to the second node.

[0138] The following takes the first node as a macro station and the second node as a micro station as an example to introduce an optional implementation manner.

[0139] In one implementation manner, a working scenario of DL accessing a macro station and UL accessing an indoor micro station is provided. The serving cell of the UE is the macro station, the cell identifier of the micro station is different from that of the macro station, and the relationship between the macro station and the micro station is an inter-cell relationship.

[0140] The serving cell macro station sends the first downlink channel or signal.

[0141] The micro station sends the second downlink channel or signal and receives the uplink channel or signal.

[0142] In this working mode, the terminal's downlink PDCCH and / or PDSCH only come from the macro station, and the micro station no longer sends PDCCH and / or PDSCH to the UE, solving the problem of strong interference caused by the macro station's downlink to the micro station's downlink.

[0143] Here, the macro station and the micro station provide services for the UE at the same time. Therefore, the macro station and the micro station need to have the ability of real-time information interaction of 0 ms, and interact with control signaling, data, information configuration, etc.

[0144] Specifically, the overall working process includes:

[0145] The micro station sends the second downlink channel or signal. The second downlink channel or signal does not include PDCCH and / or PDSCH, and the second downlink channel or signal includes at least one of SSB and CSI-RS.

[0146] 1) Configure the SSB of the micro-station for the terminal to measure, and associate the SSB of the micro-station with the cell ID of the micro-station. The micro-station transmits the SSB;

[0147] 2) Configure the SSB associated with the cell ID of the micro-station as the reference RS of the TCI state of the CSI-RS. The micro-station transmits the CSI-RS;

[0148] The UE transmits an uplink channel or signal to the micro-station:

[0149] 1) Configure the SSB and / or CSI-RS associated with the cell ID of the micro-station as the reference RS of the TCI state or SpatialRelationInfo of the uplink channel or signal, which is used to determine the uplink transmission beam when the terminal transmits the uplink channel or signal;

[0150] 2) Configure the SSB and / or CSI-RS as the path loss RS of the uplink channel or signal, which is used to determine the uplink transmission power when the terminal transmits the uplink channel or signal.

[0151] Perform the Beam Failure Recovery (BFR) process for the macro-station DL and the micro-station UL respectively.

[0152] 1) Explicitly configure 2 sets of Beam failure detection-RS (BFD-RS): The macro-station configures BFD-RS set-1, and the micro-station configures BFD-RS set-2.

[0153] 2) Implicitly configure BFD-RS:

[0154] a) Method for implicitly configuring BFD-RS for the macro-station DL: The index of the RS in the BFD-RS set is the same as the index of the RS indicated in the TCI state of the CORESET used by the UE to monitor the PDCCH;

[0155] b) Method for implicitly configuring BFD-RS for the micro-station UL: The index of the RS in the BFD-RS set is the same as the index of the RS indicated in the TCI state used by the UE to transmit the PUSCH; or the index of the RS in the BFD-RS set is the same as the index of the RS indicated in the TCI state or SpatiaRelationInfo used by the UE to transmit the PUCCH or PUSCH;

[0156] i. It can only work under the unified TCI state architecture. The BFD-RS is the reference signal of QCL type D in the indicated unified TCI state.

[0157] 3) Configure 2 sets of candidate beam reference signals (candidate beam-RS): The macro station configures candidate beam-RS set-1, and the micro station configures candidate beam-RS set-2.

[0158] 4) BFR process when the macro station DL and the micro station UL come from the PCell:

[0159] a) When the macro station DL comes from the PCell, determine the PRACH resource according to the candidate beam-RS ID. If the PRACH is sent to the macro station, since the uplink coverage performance of the macro station is limited, the macro station may not receive the PRACH. Therefore, the PRACH is sent to the micro station.

[0160] i. Under the Unified TCI state architecture, directly apply the UL unified TCI state to the PRACH to determine the spatial domain filtering of the PRACH;

[0161] ii. Under the non-Unified TCI state architecture, add a mapping relationship between the candidate beam-RS ID, the PRACH resource, and the TCI state of the PRACH or the SpatialRelationInfo of the PRACH. When the candidate beam-RS ID is determined, the PRACH resource and the spatial domain filtering of the PRACH resource can be determined;

[0162] iii. Add MAC CE to support updating the TCI state or SpatialRelationInfo of the PRACH;

[0163] iv. Calculate the TA based on the SSB associated with the cell ID of the micro station, and send the PRACH using the TA.

[0164] b) When the micro station UL comes from the PCell, determine the PRACH resource according to the candidate beam-RS ID, and the PRACH is sent to the micro station.

[0165] 5) BFR process when the macro station DL and the micro station UL come from the SCell:

[0166] a) Configure two sets of PUCCH-SR, corresponding to the macro station DL beam failure and the micro station UL beam failure respectively; or configure one PUCCH-SR, and use the PUCCH-SR both when the SCell beam of DL fails and when the SCell beam of UL fails.

[0167] b) Both the PUCCH-SR and the PUSCH of the MAC CE carrying the beam failure recovery request (BFRQ) are sent to the micro station.

[0168] i. Indicate DL failure, or UL failure, or both DL and UL failures in the MAC CE;

[0169] ii. Candidate beam RS-ID.

[0170] 6) Beam recovery success confirmation: The same as the legacy process;

[0171] 7) Beam update: After the UL beam recovery is successful, only the beam directions of the PUCCH and PUSCH are updated, and the beam of the DL channel remains unchanged:

[0172] a) For the PCell BFR process triggered by the BFD-RS set-2, 28 symbols after the terminal receives the PDCCH in the search space set with the recoverySearchSpaceId, send the PUCCH, PUSCH, and SRS with the beam direction of sending the PRACH, but the beam directions of the PDCCH and PDSCH remain unchanged.

[0173] b) For the SCell BFR process triggered by the BFD-RS set-2, when the terminal receives the DCI scheduling the PUSCH with the NDI flipped and the HARQ process ID the same as that of the scheduled MAC CE's PUSCH, send the PUCCH, PUSCH, and SRS with the beam direction of the candidate beam, but the beam directions of the PDCCH and PDSCH remain unchanged.

[0174] 8) Beam update: After the DL beam recovery is successful, only the beam directions of the PDCCH and PDSCH are updated, and the beam of the UL channel remains unchanged:

[0175] a) For the PCell BFR process triggered by BFD-RS set-1, when the terminal receives the PDCCH in the search space set with the recovery search space identifier (recoverySearchSpaceId) after 28 symbols, it receives the PDCCH and PDSCH in the beam direction of the candidate beam, but the beam directions of the PUCCH and PUSCH remain unchanged.

[0176] b) For the SCell BFR process triggered by BFD-RS set-1, when the terminal receives the DCI that schedules the PUSCH with the NDI flipped compared to the PUSCH of the scheduling MAC CE and the same HARQ process identifier (process ID), it receives the PDCCH and PDSCH in the beam direction of the candidate beam, but the beam directions of the PUCCH and PUSCH remain unchanged.
