[0128] The phrase "multiple associated antenna panels using physical uplink shared channels (PUSCH) on different beams to transmit data to different transmit / receive points (TRPs)" means that multiple different antenna panels, each facing a different transmit / receive point (TRP), perform PUSCH transmissions, and these different PUSCH transmissions use different beams.

[0129] For example, the network-side device configures at least one SRS resource set for multiple PUSCH transmissions, wherein each PUSCH transmission is a PUSCH transmission on a beam used by a panel facing a TRP, and the panel, TRP and beam corresponding to each PUSCH transmission are not exactly the same.

[0130] The aforementioned PUSCH is scheduled by multiple DCIs (downlink control information) for terminal devices with multiple panels. Each device simultaneously transmits its own PUSCH from different panels using different beams to different TRPs (transmitting and receiving points).

[0131] In one implementation of the embodiments of this disclosure, the above-mentioned PUSCH transmission includes at least one of DG-PUSCH (Dynamic Grant Physical Uplink Shared channel) transmission and CG-PUSCH (Configured Grant Physical Uplink Shared Channel) transmission.

[0132] As an example, the above PUSCH transmission includes DG-PUSCH transmission.

[0133] As another example, the above PUSCH transmission includes CG-PUSCH transmission.

[0134] As another example, the above PUSCH transmission includes both DG-PUSCH transmission and CG-PUSCH transmission.

[0135] Optionally, in embodiments of this disclosure, the aforementioned multiple panels with different associations transmit multiple DG-PUSCHs using different beams to different TRPs, and are associated with the corresponding SRS resource sets by scheduling the control resource set pool index value configured by the DCI.

[0136] For example, each panel's DG-PUSCH transmission to a TRP is associated with an index value in the control resource set pool of a scheduling DCI, and the SRS resource set is associated with the control resource set pool index of the scheduling DCI. Different DG-PUSCH transmissions correspond to different control resource set pool index values. Different DG-PUSCH transmissions use different beams. Therefore, by using the control resource set pool index value of the scheduling DCI associated with a DG-PUSCH transmission using a specific beam from a panel to a TRP, the SRS resource set associated with that control resource set pool index value can be obtained. This allows multiple DG-PUSCH transmissions from different panels to different TRPs using different beams to be associated with the corresponding SRS resource sets through the control resource set pool index value of the scheduling DCI.

[0137] That is, in this embodiment of the disclosure, at least one SRS resource set is configured for each PUSCH. The PUSCH refers to a DG-PUSCH using a beam with a panel facing a TRP; wherein different DG-PUSCHs are DG-PUSCHs performed by different panels facing different TRPs, and different DG-PUSCHs use different beams.

[0138] Step S202: Send configuration information corresponding to at least one SRS resource set to the terminal device.

[0139] The configuration information described above is used to indicate at least one SRS resource set and at least one control resource set pool index associated with the SRS resource set; if multiple SRS resource sets are included, different SRS resource sets are associated with different control resource set pool indexes.

[0140] For example, configuration information is sent to the terminal device to indicate at least one SRS resource set and the control resource set pool index associated with at least one SRS resource set.

[0141] In some embodiments of this disclosure, multiple different SRS resource sets are sent to the terminal device. These multiple different SRS resource sets are associated with different panels and use PUSCH transmission on different beams for different TRPs. The multiple different SRS resource sets correspond to different control resource set pool indices.

[0142] For example, the above-mentioned at least one SRS resource set includes multiple different SRS resource sets, each SRS resource set is associated with a panel for a TRP using a beam of PUSCH transmission; and different PUSCH transmissions correspond to different control resource set pool indices.

[0143] Optionally, in embodiments of this disclosure, the functional configuration of multiple different SRS resource sets is either "codebook" or "non-codebook".

[0144] As an example, the functionality configuration of each SRS resource set in multiple different SRS resource sets is done in a "codebook" manner.

[0145] As another example, the functionality of each SRS resource set in multiple different SRS resource sets is configured in a "non-codebook" manner.

[0146] It should be noted that in the embodiments of this disclosure, "codebook" refers to assigning corresponding precodes to available function configurations, combining multiple precodes, and using different sequence numbers to number different precodes, so that the corresponding precode can be directly searched from the table above according to the sequence number, which is the codebook.

[0147] Optionally, in the embodiments of this disclosure, the number of SRS resources included in the plurality of different SRS resource sets is configured independently. That is, each of the plurality of different SRS resource sets may include one or more SRS resources, and the number of SRS resources included in each SRS resource set may be the same or different.

[0148] Optionally, in embodiments of this disclosure, the aforementioned multiple different SRS resource sets are associated with different power control parameters and PL RS (Path Loss Estimation Reference Signal) sets.

[0149] For example, each of the aforementioned different SRS resource sets can be associated with a different set of power control parameters and path loss estimation reference signals (PLRS).

[0150] Optionally, in embodiments of this disclosure, the at least one SRS resource set is associated with different control resource set pool indexes, including: multiple different SRS resource sets are associated with multiple different control resource set pool indexes respectively.

[0151] For example, each of the multiple different SRS resource sets is associated with a control resource set pool index, and different SRS resource sets are associated with different control resource set pool indexes.

[0152] Optionally, in embodiments of this disclosure, the aforementioned DG-PUSCH is associated with different SRS resource sets through the control resource set pool index value of the scheduling DCI.

[0153] For example, different DG-PUSCHs are associated with different control resource set pool index values, and different SRS resource sets are associated with different control resource set pool indexes. Therefore, by using the control resource set pool index to which the control resource set pool index value associated with a DG-PUSCH belongs, the SRS resource set associated with that control resource set pool index can be obtained, thus enabling the association of different DG-PUSCHs with different SRS resource sets.

[0154] Optionally, in the embodiments of this disclosure, the above-mentioned CG-PUSCH can be a CG-PUSCH of type I; wherein, for the above-mentioned CG-PUSCH of type I, the identifier of the corresponding SRS resource set and the SRI (Sounding reference signaResource Identifier) ​​are configured for the configuration authorization configuration parameters through RRC (Radio Resource Control) signaling, or the corresponding control resource set pool index and the corresponding SRI are configured for the configuration authorization configuration parameters through RRC signaling.

[0155] It should be noted that, in the embodiments of this disclosure, Type I CG-PUSCH refers to uplink granting provided by RRC (radio resource control). All transmission parameters, including period, time offset, frequency resources, and the modulation and coding scheme used for uplink transmission, are configured via RRC signaling. When the terminal device receives the RRC configuration, it transmits using the received configured grant at the time calculated from the pre-set period and offset.

[0156] Uplink transmission authorization is provided by the resource management layer, and the terminal device stores this configuration and uses it as the authorization configuration.

[0157] As an example, when the above CG-PUSCH is a type I CG-PUSCH, the network-side device configures the identifier of the corresponding SRS resource set and the SRI for the configuration authorization configuration parameters through RRC signaling.

[0158] As another example, when the above CG-PUSCH is a type I CG-PUSCH, the network-side device configures the corresponding control resource set pool index and SRI for the configuration authorization configuration parameters through RRC signaling.

[0159] Optionally, in the embodiments of this disclosure, the above-mentioned CG-PUSCH can be a type II CG-PUSCH; wherein, for a type II CG-PUSCH, the corresponding SRS resource set is associated with different configuration authorization configuration parameters by activating the DCI control resource set pool index value, and the specific SRI is also indicated by activating the DCI.

[0160] For example, when the above CG-PUSCH is a Type II CG-PUSCH, the network-side device associates the corresponding SRS resource set with different configuration authorization configuration parameters by activating the DCI control resource set pool index value.

[0161] It should be noted that, in the embodiments of this disclosure, Type II CG-PUSCH refers to a transmission period provided by RRC, where the network-side device activates resources and configures some transmission parameters through DCI, thereby achieving the activation transmission of the authorized configuration; after receiving the activation command, if the terminal device has data to send in its buffer, it will transmit according to the pre-configured period; if there is no data, the terminal will not transmit any data. The PDCCH transmission time determines the activation time.

[0162] In some embodiments of this disclosure, the at least one SRS resource set mentioned above includes an SRS resource set, which includes multiple different SRS resource subsets; wherein, the function of the SRS resource set mentioned above is configured as a "codebook" or a "non-codebook".

[0163] As an example, the above-mentioned at least one SRS resource set includes an SRS resource set, and the SRS resource set includes multiple different SRS resource subsets, and the functional configuration method of the SRS resource set is "codebook".

[0164] As another example, the above-mentioned at least one SRS resource set includes an SRS resource set, and the SRS resource set includes multiple different SRS resource subsets, the functional configuration of the SRS resource set is "non-codebook".

[0165] It should be noted that in the embodiments of this disclosure, the SRS resource subset can be divided in a default manner. For example, the same number of subsets can be allocated by default; or, the SRS resource subset can be divided in a predefined manner, such as allocating SRS resources according to the ratio of the maximum number of SRS ports supported by different panels (based on the codebook), or allocating SRS resources according to the same ratio of the maximum number of RANK layers supported by different panels; or, the SRS resource subset can be divided through base station configuration or indication.

[0166] Optionally, in embodiments of this disclosure, the number of SRS resources included in the aforementioned plurality of different SRS resource subsets is configured independently.

[0167] For example, each of the above-mentioned different SRS resource subsets may include one or more SRS resources, and the number of SRS resources in each SRS resource subset can be configured independently.

[0168] Optionally, in embodiments of this disclosure, the aforementioned multiple different SRS resource subsets are associated with different power control parameters and PL RS sets, respectively.

[0169] For example, each of the above-mentioned different SRS resource subsets is associated with different power control parameters and PL RS sets.

[0170] Optionally, in embodiments of this disclosure, the at least one SRS resource set is associated with different control resource set pool indexes, including: multiple different SRS resource subsets are associated with multiple different control resource set pool indexes.

[0171] For example, each of the multiple different SRS resource subsets mentioned above is associated with a control resource set pool index, and each SRS resource subset is associated with a different control resource set pool index.

[0172] Optionally, in embodiments of this disclosure, the DG-PUSCH described above is associated with different SRS resource subsets through the control resource set pool index value of the scheduling DCI.

[0173] For example, different DG-PUSCHs are associated with different control resource set pool index values, and different SRS resource subsets are associated with different control resource set pool indexes. Therefore, by using the control resource set pool index to which the control resource set pool index value associated with a DG-PUSCH belongs, the SRS resource subset associated with that control resource set pool index can be obtained, thus enabling the association of different DG-PUSCHs with different SRS resource subsets.

[0174] Optionally, in the embodiments of this disclosure, the above-mentioned CG-PUSCH is a type I CG-PUSCH; wherein, for a type I CG-PUSCH, the identifier of the corresponding SRS resource subset and the SRI are configured for the configuration authorization configuration parameters through Radio Resource Control (RRC) signaling, or the corresponding control resource set pool index and SRI are configured for the configuration authorization configuration parameters through RRC signaling.

[0175] As an example, when the above CG-PUSCH is a type I CG-PUSCH, the network-side device configures the identifier of the corresponding SRS resource subset and the SRI for the configuration authorization configuration parameters through RRC signaling.

[0176] As another example, when the above CG-PUSCH is a type I CG-PUSCH, the network-side device configures the corresponding control resource set pool index and SRI for the configuration authorization configuration parameters through RRC signaling.

[0177] Optionally, in the embodiments of this disclosure, the aforementioned CG-PUSCH is a Type II CG-PUSCH; wherein, for a Type II CG-PUSCH, the corresponding SRS resource subset is associated by activating the DCI control resource set pool index value with different configuration authorization configuration parameters. For example, when the aforementioned CG-PUSCH is a Type II CG-PUSCH, the network-side device associates the corresponding SRS resource subset by activating the DCI control resource set pool index value with different configuration authorization configuration parameters.

[0178] In some implementations of the embodiments of this disclosure, the aforementioned at least one SRS resource set includes one SRS resource set, which in turn includes multiple different SRS resources; wherein, the functional configuration of one SRS resource set is either "codebook" or "non-codebook". As an example, the aforementioned at least one SRS resource set includes one SRS resource set, which includes multiple different SRS resources; the functional configuration of this SRS resource set is "codebook". As another example, the aforementioned at least one SRS resource set includes one SRS resource set, which includes multiple different SRS resources; the functional configuration of this SRS resource set is "non-codebook".

[0179] Optionally, in embodiments of this disclosure, the at least one SRS resource set is associated with different control resource set pool indexes, including: multiple different SRS resources are associated with multiple different control resource set pool indexes.

[0180] For example, each of the multiple different SRS resources included in the above-mentioned at least one SRS resource set is associated with a control resource set pool index, and each SRS resource is associated with a different control resource set pool index.

[0181] Optionally, in embodiments of this disclosure, the aforementioned DG-PUSCH is associated with different SRS resources through the control resource set pool index value of the scheduling DCI.

[0182] For example, different DG-PUSCHs are associated with different control resource pool index values, and different SRS resources are associated with different control resource pool indexes. Therefore, by using the control resource pool index to which the control resource pool index value associated with a DG-PUSCH belongs, the SRS resource associated with that control resource pool index can be obtained, thus enabling the association of different DG-PUSCHs with different SRS resources.

[0183] It is understood that the above embodiments describe the implementation of the multi-panel enhanced transmission configuration method of this disclosure from the network-side device perspective. This disclosure also proposes another multi-panel enhanced transmission configuration method, which will be described below from the perspective of a terminal device.

[0184] By implementing the embodiments of this disclosure, the network-side device can configure an SRS resource set and send the configuration information of the SRS resource set to the terminal device, enabling the terminal device to perform independent precoding and power control based on the configuration information, thereby enhancing the uplink transmission capability of different PDCCHs.

[0185] It should be noted that the term "one" in the embodiments of this disclosure refers to at least one, and is not limited to only one. Similarly, "two" also refers to at least two, and is not limited to only two. The "control resource pool index" in the embodiments of this disclosure can be any identifier that can identify a control resource pool, and its form is not limited to the examples described in the above embodiments.

[0186] Please see Figure 3 , Figure 3 This is a flowchart illustrating another multi-panel enhanced transmission configuration method provided in this disclosure. The method is executed by a terminal device equipped with a multi-antenna panel. Figure 3 As shown, the method may include, but is not limited to, the following steps:

[0187] Step S301: Receive configuration information sent by the network-side device.

[0188] In the embodiments of this disclosure, the configuration information is used to indicate at least one SRS resource set and at least one control resource set associated with a control resource set pool index; if multiple SRS resource sets are included, different SRS resource sets are associated with different control resource set pool indices; the at least one SRS resource set is a resource set configured by the network-side device for multiple panels with different associations to transmit to different transmit / receive points (TRPs) using physical uplink shared channels (PUSCH) on different beams, and the PUSCH is the PUSCH that the terminal device simultaneously transmits from different panels to different TRPs using different beams based on multiple downlink control information (DCI) scheduling.

[0189] For example, the terminal device receives configuration information from the network-side device indicating at least one SRS resource set and the indexes of different control resource set pools associated with the SRS resource set. The SRS resource set is a resource set configured by the network-side device for multiple associated panels to transmit to different transmit / receive points (TRPs) using physical uplink shared channels (PUSCH) on different beams. The PUSCH is the PUSCH that the terminal device simultaneously transmits from different panels to different TRPs using different beams, based on multiple downlink control information (DCI) scheduling.

[0190] In one implementation, the above-mentioned PUSCH transmission includes at least one of DG-PUSCH transmission and CG-PUSCH transmission.

[0191] As an example, the above PUSCH transmission includes DG-PUSCH transmission.

[0192] As another example, the above PUSCH transmission includes CG-PUSCH transmission.

[0193] As another example, the above PUSCH transmission includes both DG-PUSCH transmission and CG-PUSCH transmission.

[0194] In an alternative implementation, the aforementioned multiple associated panels use DG-PUSCH transmission on different beams for different TRPs, and are associated with the corresponding SRS resource set by the control resource set pool index value configured by the scheduling DCI.

[0195] For example, each panel's DG-PUSCH transmission for a TRP is associated with an index value in the control resource set pool of a scheduling DCI, and the SRS resource set is associated with the control resource set pool index of the scheduling DCI. Different DG-PUSCH transmissions correspond to different control resource set pool index values. Different DG-PUSCH transmissions use different beams. Therefore, by using the control resource set pool index value of the scheduling DCI associated with a DG-PUSCH transmission using a specific beam for a panel to a TRP, the SRS resource set associated with that scheduling DCI's control resource set pool index value can be obtained. This allows multiple DG-PUSCH transmissions using different beams for different TRPs from different panels to be associated with the corresponding SRS resource sets through the control resource set pool index value of the scheduling DCI.

[0196] In some embodiments of this disclosure, the at least one SRS resource set mentioned above includes multiple different SRS resource sets, and the multiple different SRS resource sets are respectively associated with different panels and use PUSCH transmission on different beams for different TRPs.

[0197] For example, the above-mentioned at least one SRS resource set includes multiple different SRS resource sets, each SRS resource set being associated with a panel for PUSCH transmission on a beam used by a TRP.

[0198] Optionally, in embodiments of this disclosure, the functional configuration of multiple different SRS resource sets is either "codebook" or "non-codebook".

[0199] As an example, the functionality configuration of each SRS resource set in multiple different SRS resource sets is done in a "codebook" manner.

[0200] As another example, the functionality of each SRS resource set in multiple different SRS resource sets is configured in a "non-codebook" manner.

[0201] Optionally, in embodiments of this disclosure, the number of SRS resources included in the plurality of different SRS resource sets can be configured independently. For example, each of the plurality of different SRS resource sets may include one or more SRS resources, and the number of SRS resources included in each SRS resource set can be configured independently. That is, each of the plurality of different SRS resource sets may include one or more SRS resources, and the number of SRS resources included in each SRS resource set may be the same or different.

[0202] Optionally, in embodiments of this disclosure, the aforementioned multiple different SRS resource sets are associated with different power control parameters and path loss estimation reference signal (PLRS) sets.

[0203] For example, each of the above-mentioned multiple different SRS resource sets is associated with a corresponding set of different power control parameters and path loss estimation reference signals (PLRS).

[0204] Optionally, in embodiments of this disclosure, the at least one SRS resource set is associated with different control resource set pool indexes, including: the multiple different SRS resource sets are respectively associated with multiple different control resource set pool indexes.

[0205] For example, each of the multiple different SRS resource sets is associated with an index in a control resource set pool, and different SRS resource sets are associated with different indexes.

[0206] Optionally, in embodiments of this disclosure, the aforementioned DG-PUSCH is associated with different SRS resource sets through the control resource set pool index value of the scheduling DCI.

[0207] For example, different DG-PUSCHs are associated with different control resource set pool index values, and different SRS resource sets are associated with different control resource set pool indexes. Therefore, by using the control resource set pool index to which the control resource set pool index value associated with a DG-PUSCH belongs, the SRS resource set associated with that control resource set pool index can be obtained, thus enabling the association of different DG-PUSCHs with different SRS resource sets.

[0208] Optionally, in the embodiments of this disclosure, the above-mentioned CG-PUSCH is a type I CG-PUSCH; wherein, for a type I CG-PUSCH, the identifier of the corresponding SRS resource set and the probe reference signal resource indicator (SRI) are configured for the configuration authorization configuration parameters via RRC signaling, or the corresponding control resource set pool index and SRI are configured for the configuration authorization configuration parameters via RRC signaling.

[0209] As an example, when the CG-PUSCH is a Type I CG-PUSCH, the terminal device configures the identifier of the corresponding SRS resource set and the Probe Reference Signal Resource Indicator (SRI) for the configuration authorization configuration parameters through Radio Resource Control (RRC) signaling.

[0210] As another example, when the CG-PUSCH is a type I CG-PUSCH, the terminal device configures the corresponding control resource set pool index and SRI for the configuration authorization configuration parameters through RRC signaling.

[0211] Optionally, in the embodiments of this disclosure, the above-mentioned CG-PUSCH is a type II CG-PUSCH; wherein, for a type II CG-PUSCH, the corresponding SRS resource set is associated by activating the DCI control resource set pool index value with different configuration authorization configuration parameters.

[0212] For example, when the CG-PUSCH is a Type II CG-PUSCH, the terminal device associates the corresponding SRS resource set with different configuration authorization configuration parameters by activating the DCI control resource set pool index value.

[0213] In some embodiments of this disclosure, the at least one SRS resource set includes an SRS resource set, and the SRS resource set includes multiple different SRS resource subsets; wherein the SRS resource set is configured as a "codebook" or a "non-codebook".

[0214] As an example, the above-mentioned at least one SRS resource set includes an SRS resource set, and the SRS resource set includes multiple different SRS resource subsets, and the functional configuration method of the SRS resource set is "codebook".

[0215] As another example, the above-mentioned at least one SRS resource set includes an SRS resource set, and the SRS resource set includes multiple different SRS resource subsets, the functional configuration of the SRS resource set is "non-codebook".

[0216] Optionally, in embodiments of this disclosure, the number of SRS resources included in the aforementioned plurality of different SRS resource subsets is configured independently.

[0217] For example, each of the above-mentioned multiple different SRS resource subsets may include one or more SRS resources, and the number of SRS resources in each SRS resource subset may be the same or different.

[0218] Optionally, in embodiments of this disclosure, multiple different subsets of SRS resources are associated with different power control parameters and PL RS sets.

[0219] For example, each of the above-mentioned different SRS resource subsets is associated with different power control parameters and PL RS sets.

[0220] Optionally, in embodiments of this disclosure, the at least one SRS resource set is associated with different control resource set pool indexes, including: multiple different SRS resource subsets are associated with multiple different control resource set pool indexes.

[0221] For example, each of the multiple different SRS resource subsets mentioned above is associated with a control resource set pool index, and each SRS resource subset is associated with a different control resource set pool index.

[0222] Optionally, in embodiments of this disclosure, the DG-PUSCH described above is associated with different SRS resource subsets through the control resource set pool index value of the scheduling DCI.

[0223] For example, different DG-PUSCHs are associated with different control resource set pool index values, and different SRS resource subsets are associated with different control resource set pool indexes. Therefore, by using the control resource set pool index to which the control resource set pool index value associated with a DG-PUSCH belongs, the SRS resource subset associated with that control resource set pool index can be obtained, thus enabling the association of different DG-PUSCHs with different SRS resource subsets.

[0224] Optionally, in the embodiments of this disclosure, the above-mentioned CG-PUSCH is a type I CG-PUSCH; wherein, for a type I CG-PUSCH, the identifier of the corresponding SRS resource subset and the SRI are configured for the configuration authorization configuration parameters through Radio Resource Control (RRC) signaling, or the corresponding control resource set pool index and SRI are configured for the configuration authorization configuration parameters through RRC signaling.

[0228] For example, when the CG-PUSCH is a Type II CG-PUSCH, the terminal device associates the corresponding SRS resource subset by activating the DCI control resource set pool index with different configuration authorization configuration parameters.

[0229] In some embodiments of this disclosure, the at least one SRS resource set mentioned above includes an SRS resource set, and an SRS resource set includes multiple different SRS resources; wherein, the function of an SRS resource set is configured as a "codebook" or a "non-codebook".

[0234] Optionally, in embodiments of this disclosure, the aforementioned DG-PUSCH is associated with different SRS resources through the control resource set pool index value of the scheduling DCI.

[0235] For example, different DG-PUSCHs are associated with different control resource pool index values, and different SRS resources are associated with different control resource pool indexes. Therefore, by using the control resource pool index to which the control resource pool index value associated with a DG-PUSCH belongs, the SRS resource associated with that control resource pool index can be obtained, thus enabling the association of different DG-PUSCHs with different SRS resources.

[0236] Optionally, in the embodiments of this disclosure, the above-mentioned CG-PUSCH is a CG-PUSCH of type I; wherein, for a CG-PUSCH of type I, the identifier of the corresponding SRS resource and the SRI are configured for the configuration authorization configuration parameters through RRC signaling, or the corresponding control resource set pool index and SRI are configured for the configuration authorization configuration parameters through RRC signaling.
