[0114] FIG. 1A is a schematic diagram of an architecture of a communication system according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.
[0115] As shown in FIG. 1A, the communication system 100 includes a terminal 101, a first TRP 102, and a second TRP 103.
[0116] In some embodiments, the terminal 101 includes at least one of a mobile phone, a wearable device, an Internet of Things device, a communication-capable automobile, a smart automobile, a tablet (Pad), a wireless transceiver-equipped computer, a virtual reality (VR) terminal device, an augmented reality (AR) terminal device, a wireless terminal device in industrial control, a wireless terminal device in self-driving, a wireless terminal device in remote medical surgery, a wireless terminal device in a smart grid, a wireless terminal device in transportation safety, a wireless terminal device in a smart city, a wireless terminal device in a smart home, and the like, but is not limited thereto.
[0117] In some embodiments, the first TRP 102 can support both uplink transmission and downlink transmission.
[0118] In some embodiments, the name of the first TRP 102 is not limited and can be interchangeable with an anchor TRP, a reference TRP, and the like.
[0119] In which, the first TRP 102 can provide the terminal 101 with downlink reference signals, downlink control channels, and downlink data transmission.
[0120] In some embodiments, the second TRP 103 can support uplink transmission.
[0121] In one example, the second TRP 103 can only support uplink transmission.
[0122] For example, the second TRP 103 supports both uplink transmission and downlink transmission, but can turn off the supported downlink transmission function, thereby only supporting uplink transmission.
[0123] For example, the second TRP 103 supports both uplink transmission and downlink transmission at the time of deployment, in order to improve the performance of uplink transmission and reduce the interference of downlink transmission on uplink transmission, the downlink transmission function can be turned off, thereby only supporting uplink transmission.
[0124] For another example, after the second TRP 103 turns off the downlink transmission function, if there is a situation of cell congestion or downlink scheduling resource shortage, the downlink transmission function of the second TRP 103 can be turned on at this time, and the second TRP 103 can support both uplink transmission and downlink transmission.
[0125] Exemplarily, the second TRP 103 can be deployed with no support for downlink transmission, only uplink transmission functionality in the deployment phase.
[0126] In some embodiments, the name of the second TRP 103 is not limited and can be interchangeably used with uplink-only TRP (UL-only TRP), uplink TRP.
[0127] In some embodiments, the terminal 101 can perform uplink data transmission to the first TRP 102 and / or the second TRP 103.
[0128] In some embodiments, the main motivation of the asymmetric deployment is to improve UL throughput by having the terminal 101 transmit UL data to the second TRP 103.
[0129] For example, the first TRP 102 in FIG. 1A provides coverage for DL and UL transmission, and the second TRP 103 is deployed to improve UL performance. Other motivations are to reduce network energy consumption by avoiding transmitting downlink data from the second TRP 103. It can be envisaged that a terminal in the cell can first perform initial access through the first TRP 102, and then, if the terminal 101 is closer to the second TRP 103 than the first TRP 102 (i.e. the terminal 101 has better UL link budget at this time), or if the network side decides to move the terminal 101 to the second TRP 103, for example, to reduce UL interference of the first TRP 102, or to improve resource usage efficiency, the network side can instruct the terminal 101 to transmit to the second TRP 103.
[0130] Currently, power control needs to be enhanced to support asymmetric deployment. In multi-TRP operation, it is assumed that each TRP can be used for DL transmission and UL reception. Uplink power control can be based on path loss measurement from a path loss-reference signal (PL-RS) of the same TRP that provides DL service. However, when the uplink transmission power corresponding to the second TRP 103 is based on path loss measurement from a DL PL-RS of the first TRP 102, the path losses of uplink and downlink are different.
[0131] In addition to the power control aspect, another important aspect is how to set the UL transmission timing to the first TRP 102 and the second TRP 103, respectively. In a practical deployment, the first TRP 102 and the second TRP 103 are not co-located, and the propagation delay difference and synchronization timing error between the two can be very large, which will affect the performance of asymmetric TRP deployment.
[0132] In some embodiments, the timing corresponding to:
[0133] Since the only UL TRP (second TRP) does not transmit any Synchronization Signal / PBCH Block (SSB), the terminal 101 can rely on the SSB of the anchor TRP (first TRP) to determine the DL reference timing. When the slot boundaries of the anchor TRP and the only UL TRP are perfectly aligned (i.e. the synchronization error is 0 microsecond, µs), the terminal 101 can use the DL reference timing of the anchor TRP for the random access procedure and receive the Timing Advance (TA) command, managing the asymmetric propagation delay between the anchor TRP to the terminal 101 and the only UL TRP to the terminal 101.
[0134] However, in a real deployment (e.g. under asymmetric deployment), it can not always be feasible to maintain perfect synchronization between different TRPs (even for intra-DU deployment, as many network deployments use switched fronthaul). For example, FIG. IB illustrates a synchronization scenario where the timing of the only UL TRP is ahead of the anchor TRP. When the slot timing of the only UL TRP is ahead of the anchor TRP, if the terminal acquires the DL timing from the anchor TRP and uses the same DL reference timing to transmit the Physical Uplink Shared Channel (PUSCH), it can cause inter-slot interference at the only UL TRP.
[0135] To determine the reference point of the uplink parameters for the second TRP supporting uplink transmission, improve the uplink transmission performance, the present disclosure provides a parameter determination method, a terminal, a first TRP and a second TRP.
[0136] FIG. 2 is an interaction schematic diagram of a parameter determination method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 2, the present embodiment relates to a parameter determination method, and the method comprises:
[0137] In step S2101a, the first TRP 102 sends configuration information to the terminal 101.
[0138] In some embodiments, the terminal 101 receives the configuration information.
[0139] In some embodiments, the configuration information is used to configure the reference points of the uplink parameters of the second TRP 102 to correspond to the same cell.
[0140] In some embodiments, the plurality of uplink parameters can include uplink timing and uplink transmission power.
[0141] In some embodiments, the reference point of the uplink timing can be a reference downlink timing.
[0142] In some embodiments, the reference point of the uplink transmission power can be a reference downlink path loss.
[0143] The reference point of each uplink parameter corresponding to the same cell can be understood as determining the reference downlink timing and the reference downlink path loss based on the first TRP 102 of the same cell.
[0144] In some embodiments, the first TRP 102 supports uplink transmission and downlink transmission.
[0145] In some embodiments, the name of the first TRP is not limited and can be interchangeable with an anchor TRP, a reference TRP, and the like.
[0146] In some embodiments, the second TRP 103 supports uplink transmission.
[0147] In some embodiments, the name of the second TRP is not limited and can be interchangeable with a Uplink-Only TRP, an uplink TRP, and the like.
[0148] In step S2101b, the second TRP 103 sends configuration information to the terminal 101.
[0149] In some embodiments, the terminal 101 receives the configuration information.
[0150] In some embodiments, the configuration information is used to configure the same reference point for multiple uplink parameters of the second TRP.
[0151] In some embodiments, the second TRP 103 supports uplink transmission.
[0152] In some embodiments, the name of the second TRP is not limited and can be interchangeable with a Uplink-Only TRP, an uplink TRP, and the like.
[0153] In some embodiments, the second TRP 103 does not support sending a downlink data channel and can support sending a downlink control channel.
[0154] In some embodiments, steps S2101a and S2101b can be executed alternatively or both, of course, neither can be executed, and the present disclosure does not limit this.
[0155] In step S2102, the terminal 101 determines the reference point of the uplink parameter for the second TRP.
[0156] In some embodiments, the uplink parameter can include but is not limited to at least one of the following: uplink timing; uplink transmission power.
[0157] In some embodiments, the terminal 101 can determine the reference point of the uplink timing, which is the reference downlink timing.
[0158] In some embodiments, the terminal 101 can determine the reference point of the uplink transmission power, which is the reference downlink path loss.
[0159] In some embodiments, the terminal 101 can determine that the reference points of the uplink parameters of the second TRP 103 correspond to the same cell based on the configuration information sent by the first TRP 102 or the second TRP 103.
[0160] In some embodiments, the terminal 101 can select the same cell as the reference point of the uplink parameters of the second TRP 103.
[0161] In some embodiments, the terminal 101 can determine that the uplink parameters of the second TRP 103 belong to a first quasi co-located (QCL) type.
[0162] The first QCL type can be used to indicate the relevant parameters of the receiving beam.
[0163] For example, the first QCL type can be QCL-type D, which allows sharing of spatial relationship parameters between signals.
[0164] In some embodiments, the terminal 101 can determine the reference points of the uplink references in different scenarios.
[0165] Scenario 1: the terminal 101 does not support carrier aggregation (CA).
[0166] Scenario 1-1: the terminal 101 supports a single timing advance (TA), for example, 1 TA.
[0167] For example, the terminal 101 supporting 1 TA means that the terminal 101 will only determine one TA regardless of the first TRP 102 or the second TRP 103.
[0168] For example, as shown in FIG. 4A, the first TRP 102 and the second TRP 103 are in the same timing advance group (TAG), and since CA is not supported, the TAG is the primary timing advance group (pTAG).
[0169] For example, the terminal 101 can determine the reference downlink timing based on the first downlink timing.
[0170] The first downlink timing is the downlink timing corresponding to the first TRP in the first cell, where the first cell is the primary cell.
[0171] The transmission of the uplink frame occurs at (N TA +N TA offset) x T c At the time point, which is before the first detected path (in time) of receiving a corresponding downlink frame from the reference cell, the terminal 101 can take the downlink timing corresponding to the first TRP 102 of the primary cell as the reference downlink timing of the second TRP 103.
[0172] wherein N TA refers to TA, N TA offset refers to the offset corresponding to TA, T c The value of T
[0173] wherein N TA may be configured by the network side for the first TRP 102 and the second TRP 103. TA That is, the first TRP 102 and the second TRP 103 can both determine the reference downlink timing based on N
[0174] Exemplarily, the terminal 101 can determine the reference downlink path loss based on the first TCI state.
[0175] wherein the first TCI state is the downlink TCI state used by the first TRP 102 in the first cell (i.e., the primary cell) or any activated TCI state.
[0176] Exemplarily, the terminal 101 can determine the reference downlink path loss based on the TCI state currently used by the physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) of the first TRP 102 in the primary cell.
[0177] Exemplarily, the terminal 101 can determine the reference downlink path loss based on any activated TCI state of the first TRP 102 in the primary cell.
[0178] wherein in scenario 1-2, the terminal 101 supports multiple TA, for example, supports 2 TA.
[0179] Exemplarily, the terminal 101 supporting 2 TA can mean that the terminal 101 supports determining a corresponding TA respectively for the first TRP 102 and the second TRP 103.
[0180] It can be understood that at this time, the first TRP 102 and the second TRP 103 can be far apart in geographical position, because the same TA cannot be used.
[0181] Exemplarily, the number of reference points corresponding to the first TRP 102 and the second TRP 103 is 1.
[0182] That is, the first TRP 102 and the second TRP 103 can correspond to the same reference downlink timing.
[0183] Exemplarily, the number of reference points corresponding to the first TRP 102 and the second TRP 103 can be 2.
[0184] Namely, the first TRP 102 and the second TRP 102 can correspond to one reference downlink timing respectively.
[0185] It can be understood that, since CA is not supported, only one primary cell and one TRP supporting downlink transmission, namely the first TRP 102, exist at this time, and in actual application, only one reference downlink timing is determined for the first TRP 102 and the second TRP 103.
[0186] Exemplarily, the transmission of the uplink frame occurs at (N TA +N TA offset )×T c , which is before the first detected path (in time) of the corresponding downlink frame received from the reference cell, the terminal 101 can take the downlink timing corresponding to the first TRP 102 of the primary cell as the reference downlink timing of the second TRP 103.
[0187] Wherein, N TA refers to TA, N TA offset refers to the offset corresponding to TA, and T c can be 0.509 ns.
[0188] Wherein, N TA can be configured by the network side for each TAG separately.

[0208] The secondary cell where the second TRP 103 is located;
[0209] Any activated secondary cell within the same sTAG as the second TRP 103.
[0210] For example, the terminal 101 can determine the reference downlink timing based on the downlink timing corresponding to the first TRP 102 in the secondary cell where the second TRP 103 is located. For example, in FIG. 4B, the second TRP 103 is located in the secondary cell #1, and the terminal 101 determines the reference downlink timing based on the downlink timing corresponding to the first TRP 102 in the secondary cell #1.
[0211] For example, the terminal 101 can determine the reference downlink timing based on the downlink timing corresponding to the first TRP 102 in any activated secondary cell within the same sTAG as the second TRP 103. For example, in FIG. 4B, the second TRP 103 is located in the secondary cell #1, the second TRP 103 is within the same sTAG as the secondary cell #2 and the secondary cell #3, and the secondary cell #3 is in an activated state. The terminal 101 can determine the reference downlink timing based on the downlink timing corresponding to the first TRP 102 in the secondary cell #3.
[0212] Where the transmission of the uplink frame occurs at (N TA +N TA offset )T c , which is before the first detected path (in time) of the corresponding downlink frame received from the reference cell, the terminal 101 can determine the reference downlink timing of the second TRP 103 based on the downlink timing corresponding to the first TRP 102 of the primary cell.

For example, in FIG. 4C, the terminal 101 determines the reference downlink timing based on a downlink timing corresponding to the first TRP 102 in the primary cell.
[0229] Exemplarily, the terminal 101 can determine the reference downlink timing based on a downlink timing corresponding to the first TRP 102 in any cell within a same TAG as the second TRP 103.

[0291] In some embodiments, the optional implementation of step S3301 can refer to the optional implementation of step S2101b in FIG. 2 and other associated parts in the embodiments involved in FIG. 2, which are not described here again.
[0292] In the above embodiments, the reference points of the uplink parameters of the second TRP can be configured to correspond to the same cell, which improves the uplink transmission reliability in the asymmetric scenario and improves the performance and availability of the asymmetric deployment.
[0293] The above process is further illustrated as follows.
[0294] The terminal 101 can calculate the uplink timing of the second TRP 103 by using the following formula 1:
[0295] Uplink timing of the second TRP 103 = Reference downlink timing - TA formula 1
[0296] Since the UL-only TRP has no downlink reference signal (DL RS), it is impossible to calculate the reference DL timing. On the other hand, it is necessary to find the reference DL timing of the UL transmission.
[0297] In addition, the terminal 101 can calculate the uplink transmission power of the second TRP 103 by using the following formula 2:
[0298] The uplink transmission power of the second TRP103 = reference downlink path loss + path loss offset formula 2
[0299] Similarly, since UL TRP does not have DL RS, a reference downlink path loss needs to be found.
[0300] Scenario 1: Terminal 101 does not support carrier aggregation (CA).
[0301] In scenario 1-1, terminal 101 supports a single timing advance (TA), for example, it supports one TA.
[0302] For example, terminal 101 supports one TA, which means that regardless of whether it is for the first TRP 102 or the second TRP 103, terminal 101 will only determine one TA.
[0303] For example, as shown in Figure 4A, the first TRP102 and the second TRP103 are in the same Timing Advance Group (TAG). Since CA is not supported, this TAG is the Primary Timing Advance Group (pTAG).
[0304] For example, terminal 101 may determine reference downlink timing based on the first downlink timing.
[0305] Among them, the first downlink timing is the downlink timing corresponding to the first TRP in the first cell, where the first cell is the primary cell.
[0306] Among them, the transmission of uplink frames occurs in (N TA +N TA offset )×T c At a location located before the first detection path (in time) from the reference cell to receive the corresponding downlink frame, the terminal 101 can use the downlink timing corresponding to the first TRP 102 of the primary cell as the reference downlink timing for the second TRP 103.
[0307] Where, N TA It refers to TA, N TA offset This refers to the offset corresponding to TA, T c The value can be 0.509 nanoseconds (ns).
[0308] Among them, N can be configured by the network side for the first TRP102 and the second TRP103. TA In other words, both the first TRP102 and the second TRP103 can be based on N. TA Determine the reference downlink timing.
[0309] Exemplarily, the terminal 101 can determine the reference downlink path loss based on the first TCI state.
[0310] The first TCI state is a downlink TCI state used by the first TRP 102 in the first cell (i.e., the primary cell) or any activated TCI state.
[0311] Exemplarily, the terminal 101 can determine the reference downlink path loss based on a TCI state currently used by a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) of the first TRP 102 in the primary cell.
[0312] Exemplarily, the terminal 101 can determine the reference downlink path loss based on any activated TCI state in the first TRP 102 in the primary cell.
[0313] In the scenario 1-2, the terminal 101 supports multiple TAs, for example, supports 2 TAs.
[0314] Exemplarily, the terminal 101 supporting 2 TAs can mean that the terminal 101 supports determining a corresponding TA for the first TRP 102 and the second TRP 103 respectively.
[0315] It can be understood that at this time, the first TRP 102 and the second TRP 103 can be far apart in geographical position because the same TA cannot be used.
[0316] Exemplarily, the number of reference points corresponding to the first TRP 102 and the second TRP 103 is 1.
[0317] That is, the first TRP 102 and the second TRP 103 can correspond to the same reference downlink timing.
[0318] Exemplarily, the number of reference points corresponding to the first TRP 102 and the second TRP 103 can be 2.
[0319] That is, the first TRP 102 and the second TRP 102 can correspond to a reference downlink timing respectively.
[0320] It can be understood that because CA is not supported, at this time, there is only one primary cell and one TRP supporting downlink transmission, that is, one first TRP 102, and in actual application, only one reference downlink timing is determined for the first TRP 102 and the second TRP 103.
[0321] Exemplarily, the transmission of the uplink frame occurs at (N TA +N TA offset )×T cThe terminal 101 can determine the reference downlink timing based on the downlink timing corresponding to the first TRP 102 of the primary cell, as the reference downlink timing of the second TRP 103, at (N
[0322] wherein N TA refers to TA, N TA offset refers to the offset corresponding to TA, and T c may be 0.509ns.
[0323] wherein N TA may be configured by the network side for each TAG separately.
[0324] wherein the first TCI state is the downlink TCI state used by the first TRP 102 in the first cell (i.e., the primary cell) or any activated TCI state.
[0325] Exemplarily, the terminal 101 can determine the reference downlink path loss based on the TCI state currently used by the PDSCH of the first TRP 102 in the primary cell.
[0326] Exemplarily, the terminal 101 can determine the reference downlink path loss based on any activated TCI state of the first TRP 102 in the primary cell.
[0327] Scenario 2, supporting CA.
[0328] wherein scenario 2-1, the terminal 101 supports a single TA.
[0329] Case 1, the second TRP 103 is located in the pTAG.
[0330] Exemplarily, the terminal 101 can determine the reference downlink timing based on the first downlink timing.
[0331] wherein the first downlink timing is the downlink timing corresponding to the first TRP in the first cell, and the first cell here is the primary cell since the second TRP 103 is located in the pTAG.
[0332] wherein the transmission of the uplink frame occurs at (N TA +N TA offset )×T c The terminal 101 can determine the reference downlink timing based on the downlink timing corresponding to the first TRP 102 of the primary cell, as the reference downlink timing of the second TRP 103, at (N
[0333] wherein N TA refers to TA, N TA offset refers to the offset corresponding to TA, and Tc The value can be 0.509ns.
[0334] Among them, N can be configured by the network side for the first TRP102 and the second TRP103. TA In other words, both the first TRP102 and the second TRP103 can be based on N. TA Determine the reference downlink timing.
[0335] For example, terminal 101 can determine the reference downlink path loss based on the first TCI state.
[0336] The first TCI state is either the downlink TCI state used by the first TRP102 in the first cell (i.e., the primary cell) or any active TCI state.
[0337] For example, terminal 101 can determine the reference downlink path loss based on the TCI state currently used by the Physical Downlink Shared Channel (PDSCH) of the first TRP 102 in the primary cell.
[0338] For example, terminal 101 can determine the reference downlink path loss based on any active TCI state in the first TRP 102 in the primary cell.
[0339] Case 2: The second TRP103 is located within the Secondary Timing Advance Group (sTAG).
[0340] For example, terminal 101 may determine reference downlink timing based on the second downlink timing.
[0341] The second downlink timing is the downlink timing corresponding to the first TRP in the second cell.
[0342] The second cell can be any of the following:
[0343] The secondary cell where the second TRP103 is located;
[0344] Any active secondary cell within the same sTAG as the second TRP103.
[0345] For example, terminal 101 can determine the reference downlink timing based on the downlink timing corresponding to the first TRP102 in the secondary cell where the second TRP103 is located, for example, in Figure 4B, the second TRP103 is located in secondary cell #1.
[0346] Exemplarily, the terminal 101 can determine the reference downlink timing based on the downlink timing corresponding to the first TRP 102 in any activated secondary cell within the same sTAG as the second TRP 103. For example, in FIG. 4B, the second TRP 103 is in secondary cell #1, the second TRP 103 is within the same sTAG as secondary cell #2, secondary cell #3, and secondary cell #3 is in an activated state, then the terminal 101 can determine the reference downlink timing based on the downlink timing corresponding to the first TRP 102 in secondary cell #3.
[0347] wherein the transmission of the uplink frame occurs at (N TA +N TA offset )×T c , which is before the first detected path (in time) of the corresponding downlink frame received from the reference cell, the terminal 101 can determine the reference downlink timing of the second TRP 103 based on the downlink timing corresponding to the first TRP 102 of the primary cell.
[0348] wherein N TA is the TA, N TA offset is the offset corresponding to the TA, and T c may be 0.509ns.
[0349] wherein N TA may be configured by the network side for all activated secondary cells and the second TRP 103.
[0350] Exemplarily, the terminal 101 can determine the reference downlink path loss based on the second TCI state.
[0351] wherein the second TCI state is an activated downlink TCI state or a used downlink TCI state on the first TRP 102 in the second cell.
[0352] wherein the second cell can be any of the following:
[0353] a secondary cell in which the second TRP 103 is located;
[0354] any activated secondary cell within the same sTAG as the second TRP 103.
[0355] Exemplarily, the terminal 101 can determine the reference downlink path loss based on any activated TCI state of the PDSCH of the first TRP 102 in the second cell.
[0356] Exemplarily, the terminal 101 can determine the reference downlink path loss based on the currently used activated TCI state of the PDSCH of the first TRP 102 in the second cell.
[0357] In the scenario 2-2, the terminal 101 supports multiple TA, for example, supports 2 TA.
[0358] Exemplarily, the terminal 101 can determine the reference downlink timing based on the third downlink timing.
[0359] The third downlink timing is the downlink timing corresponding to the first TRP 102 in the third cell.
[0360] The third cell is any one of the following:
[0361] The primary cell where the second TRP is located;
[0362] Any cell in the same TAG as the second TRP.
[0363] Exemplarily, the terminal 101 can determine the reference downlink timing based on the downlink timing corresponding to the first TRP 102 in the primary cell where the second TRP 103 is located, for example, in FIG. 4C, the terminal 101 determines the reference downlink timing based on the downlink timing corresponding to the first TRP 102 in the primary cell.
[0364] Exemplarily, the terminal 101 can determine the reference downlink timing based on the downlink timing corresponding to the first TRP 102 in any cell in the same TAG as the second TRP 103. For example, in FIG. 4C, the second TRP 103 is in the same TAG as the secondary cell #1, the secondary cell #2, and the secondary cell #3, so the terminal 101 can determine the reference downlink timing based on the downlink timing corresponding to the first TRP 102 in the secondary cell #2. At this time, the secondary cell #2 can be in an activated state.
[0365] The transmission of the uplink frame occurs at (N TA +N TA offset )×T c , which is before the first detected path (in time) of the corresponding downlink frame received from the reference cell, the terminal 101 can determine the reference downlink timing of the second TRP 103 based on the downlink timing corresponding to the first TRP 102 of the third cell.
[0366] N TA is the TA, N TA offset is the offset corresponding to the TA, and T c can be 0.509 ns.
[0367] N TA may be configured by the network side for each TAG.
[0368] Exemplarily, the terminal 101 can determine the reference downlink loss based on the third TCI state.
[0369] The third TCI state is an activated downlink TCI state or a used downlink TCI state of the first TRP 102 in the third cell.
[0370] The third cell can be any one of the following cells:
[0371] The primary cell in which the second TRP is located;
[0372] Any cell in the same TAG as the second TRP.
[0373] Illustratively, the terminal 101 can determine the reference downlink path loss based on any activated TCI state of the PDSCH of the first TRP 102 in the third cell.
[0374] Illustratively, the terminal 101 can determine the reference downlink path loss based on the currently used activated TCI state of the PDSCH of the first TRP 102 in the third cell.
[0375] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, if the reference downlink timing and the reference downlink path loss correspond to different cells, for example, as shown in FIG. 4D, the uplink timing and the uplink transmission power can not be matched, and the uplink transmission performance can be reduced.
[0376] Therefore, in the present disclosure, it is desirable that the reference point of the uplink timing and the reference point of the uplink transmission power have the same QCL relationship or have a certain QCL relationship, and thus the following methods can be used to solve the problem:
[0377] Method 1: The network side, for example, the first TRP 102 or the second TRP 103, configures the reference points of the uplink parameters of the second TRP to correspond to the same cell.
[0378] Method 2: The terminal 101 itself selects the same cell for the reference points of the uplink parameters of the second TRP.
[0379] Method 3: It is determined that the uplink parameters of the second TRP belong to the first quasi co-location type, for example, the QCL type D.
[0380] For example, in the same TAG, the activated downlink TCI state or the joint TCI state of the reference cell for the uplink timing and the path loss reference signal are QCL type D.
