Background Technology

[0003] In communication systems, in order to improve throughput, reduce transmission latency, and enhance uplink coverage, full-duplex communication has been proposed, which allows uplink and downlink transmissions to occur simultaneously in the same time slot.

[0004] Since the terminal's ability to suppress self-interference is limited, the current main consideration is full-duplex on the network side. However, when the network side communicates in full-duplex mode, it is equivalent to half-duplex mode, and more communication resources will be subject to interference. Summary of the Invention

[0011] According to a sixth aspect of the present disclosure, a communication device is provided, comprising: a processor; a memory for storing a computer program; wherein, when the computer program is executed by the processor, the above-described information receiving method is implemented.

[0012] According to a seventh aspect of the present disclosure, a computer-readable storage medium is provided for storing a computer program that, when executed by a processor, implements the steps in the resource indication method described above.

[0013] According to an eighth aspect of the present disclosure, a computer-readable storage medium is provided for storing a computer program that, when executed by a processor, implements the steps in the above-described information receiving method.

[0014] According to embodiments of this disclosure, after determining the resources used for interference measurement, the network-side device can indicate the configuration information of the resources used for interference measurement to the terminal through first indication information. This enables the terminal to determine the resources used by the network-side device for interference measurement based on the configuration information, thereby avoiding the expectation of receiving data, reference signals, etc., sent by the network-side device on these resources. This avoids wasting terminal resources and demodulation errors. Attached Figure Description

[0030] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this disclosure will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this disclosure, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this disclosure, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this disclosure.

[0031] The terminology used in this disclosure is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the present disclosure. The singular forms “a” and “the” as used in this disclosure and the appended claims are also intended to include the plural forms unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. It should also be understood that the term “and / or” as used herein refers to and includes any and all possible combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.

[0032] It should be understood that although the terms first, second, third, etc., may be used to describe various information in embodiments of this disclosure, such information should not be limited to these terms. These terms are only used to distinguish information of the same type from one another. For example, first information may also be referred to as second information without departing from the scope of embodiments of this disclosure, and similarly, second information may also be referred to as first information. Depending on the context, the word "if" as used herein may be interpreted as "when," "when," or "in response to a determination."

[0033] For the sake of brevity and ease of understanding, this document uses the terms "greater than" or "less than", "higher than" or "lower than" to describe size relationships. However, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that the term "greater than" also includes the meaning of "greater than or equal to", and "less than" also includes the meaning of "less than or equal to"; the term "higher than" also includes the meaning of "higher than or equal to", and "lower than" also includes the meaning of "lower than or equal to".

[0034] When network-side devices communicate in half-duplex mode, interference generally only exists in uplink resources, and interference measurement is mainly concentrated on the terminal side. For downlink resources, such as downlink time slots in the Time Division Duplex (TDD) band and downlink spectrum in the Frequency Division Duplex (FDD) band, they are only used for downlink transmission in half-duplex mode, so current network-side devices do not perform interference measurements on these resources.

[0035] However, when network devices communicate in full-duplex mode, interference exists on downlink resources, necessitating interference measurement on these resources. However, the terminal is unaware of which resources the network device will measure interference on, leading to technical issues. For example, the network device may not transmit data or reference signals (RS) on the resources being measured. If the terminal still receives data or reference signals on these resources, it will waste terminal resources and may even cause demodulation errors.

[0036] Figure 1This is a schematic flowchart illustrating a resource indication method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. The resource indication method shown in this embodiment can be executed by a network-side device, which includes, but is not limited to, network-side devices in communication systems such as 4G, 5G, and 6G, such as base stations and core networks. The network-side device can communicate with a terminal, which includes, but is not limited to, communication devices such as mobile phones, tablets, wearable devices, sensors, and IoT devices.

[0037] like Figure 1 As shown, the resource indication method may include the following steps: In step S101, resources for performing interference measurements are determined; In step S102, a first indication message is sent to the terminal to indicate the configuration information of the resource.

[0038] In one embodiment, the network-side device can determine the resources used for interference measurement based on the needs of interference measurement. For example, the resources include downlink resources, specifically including at least one of the following: downlink resources in the Time Division Duplex (TDD) band (e.g., downlink time slots in the TDD band); and downlink resources in the Frequency Division Duplex (FDD) band (e.g., downlink spectrum in the FDD band). Of course, the resources may further include uplink resources, such as uplink resources in the TDD band (e.g., uplink time slots in the TDD band) and uplink resources in the FDD band (e.g., uplink spectrum in the TDD band), which can be determined according to the needs of interference measurement. The following embodiments are mainly exemplified when the resources are downlink resources.

[0039] In one embodiment of this disclosure, the first indication information is used by the terminal to instruct the network-side device to stop transmitting (including data and / or reference signals) on the resource corresponding to the configuration information. In another embodiment of this disclosure, the first indication information is used to instruct the terminal to stop receiving transmissions (including data and / or reference signals) on the resource corresponding to the configuration information, or to not receive transmissions (including data and / or reference signals) on the resource corresponding to the configuration information. In yet another embodiment of this disclosure, the first indication information is used to instruct the terminal to perform rate matching on the resource and stop receiving data and reference signals transmitted by the network-side device on the resource.

[0040] In one embodiment, the network-side device can communicate in full-duplex mode, which refers to simultaneously transmitting uplink and downlink data on the same frequency domain resource (e.g., frequency band, carrier, subcarrier, bandwidth portion, resource block, resource element, etc.). In one embodiment, the method further includes: stopping the transmission of data and reference signals on the resource.

[0041] When network-side devices communicate in full-duplex mode, interference may exist on the aforementioned downlink resources. Therefore, it is necessary to perform interference measurement on these resources. In order to obtain accurate measurement results, network-side devices may stop sending data, reference signals, etc. on these resources during interference measurement.

[0042] According to embodiments of this disclosure, after determining the resources used for interference measurement, the network-side device can indicate the configuration information of the resources used for interference measurement to the terminal through first indication information. This enables the terminal to determine the resources used by the network-side device for interference measurement based on the configuration information, thereby preventing the terminal from expecting to receive data, reference signals, etc., sent by the network-side device on these resources. For example, the terminal can perform rate matching for the resources to stop receiving data and reference signals sent by the network-side device on those resources. This avoids wasting terminal resources and demodulation errors.

[0043] In one embodiment, the first indication information includes at least one of the following: Downlink Control Information (DCI); Media Access Control Element (MAC CE).

[0044] The network-side device can send the configuration information of the resource to the terminal as the first indication information, or it can send the configuration information of the resource to the terminal as the first indication information.

[0045] In one embodiment, the DCI includes common downlink control information (common DCI).

[0046] The network-side device sends the configuration information of the resource to the terminal via the common DCI as the first indication information. Since the network-side device should not expect to receive data or reference signals sent by the network-side device on the resource when it performs interference measurement on the resource, all terminals in the cell corresponding to the network-side device should not receive the data or reference signals sent by the network-side device on the resource. Therefore, the configuration information can be uniformly indicated to all terminals in the cell corresponding to the network-side device via the common DCI (e.g., multicast), without having to indicate it to each terminal separately, which helps to save resources.

[0047] DCI can be a newly defined DCI format or it can use the existing DCI format, such as DCI format 1_1, DCI format 1_2, etc.

[0048] In one embodiment, the configuration information includes at least one of the following: Frequency domain occupancy information, time domain occupancy information, time domain resource range, and pattern information for the frequency domain occupancy information and the time domain occupancy information. In some possible embodiments, the time-frequency resource range can be the length of a time window.

[0049] In one embodiment, the configuration information of the resource indicated by the network-side device may consist of frequency domain occupancy information and time domain occupancy information, based on which the location of the resource in the frequency domain and time domain can be determined. For example, the resource block (RB) corresponding to the frequency domain occupancy information and the time domain occupancy information in a certain time slot can be determined, or more specifically, the corresponding resource element (RE).

[0050] In one embodiment, the configuration information of the resource indicated by the network-side device may further include a time-domain resource range. Based on the time-domain resource range, the resource can be determined within a certain number of time slots, and the resource can be determined based on the frequency-domain occupancy information and the time-domain occupancy information.

[0051] The terminal can predetermine multiple time-domain resource ranges, for example, according to protocol agreements or network-side configurations. Subsequently, the network-side device can indicate one of these multiple time-domain resource ranges, for example, by indicating the identifier corresponding to the time-domain resource range. The association between the identifier of the time-domain resource range and the time-domain resource can be shown in Table 1 below: Table 1 As shown in Table 1, the terminal predetermines 4 time window lengths (also known as time domain resource ranges). The network-side device can use log2(W) bits to indicate the time window identifier. In the embodiment of Table 1, W is equal to 4, for example, the identifier is 01. Based on Table 1, the corresponding time window length can be determined to be 5. Then it can be determined that there are resources for the network-side device to perform interference measurement in 5 time slots.

[0052] It is understood that each element in Table 1 exists independently. These elements are listed in the same table as an example, but this does not mean that all elements in the table must exist simultaneously as shown in the table. The value of each element is independent of the values ​​of any other element in Table 1. Therefore, those skilled in the art will understand that the value of each element in Table 1 is an independent embodiment.

[0053] Additionally, it should be noted that when the time-domain resource range is indicated via MAC CE, since the terminal needs a certain amount of time to parse the MAC CE, for example, 3 milliseconds, the start time of the time-domain resource range must be at least 3 milliseconds after the downlink time slot of the hybrid automatic repeat request corresponding to the MAC CE. In some embodiments, the time-domain resource range indicated by MAC CE is T0+δt; where T0 is the end time of the downlink time slot of the hybrid automatic repeat request corresponding to the MAC CE. δt can be determined based on the communication standard or configured by the base station.

[0054] In one embodiment, the configuration information of the resources indicated by the network-side device may also include pattern information of the frequency domain occupancy information and the time domain occupancy information. Based on the pattern information, the terminal can determine which REs in the RB the network-side device performs interference measurements on. Since the pattern information includes both frequency domain occupancy information and time domain occupancy information, indicating the pattern information can relatively reduce resource overhead compared to indicating the frequency domain occupancy information and the time domain occupancy information separately.

[0055] In one embodiment, the frequency domain occupancy information includes the frequency domain start position and the frequency domain range.

[0056] When indicating frequency domain occupancy information, network-side devices can indicate the frequency domain start position and frequency domain range. Based on the frequency domain start position and frequency domain range, the frequency domain location of the resources used by the network-side devices for interference measurement can be determined.

[0057] Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram illustrating a pattern according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0058] Pattern information can define the position of REs within a RB. An RB corresponds to one slot in the time domain, containing 14 time-domain symbols, and 12 subcarriers in the frequency domain. For example... Figure 2 As shown, based on the pattern information, four REs in an RB can be identified for interference measurement, which are the REs on the 3rd and 10th symbols, corresponding to the 3rd and 9th subcarriers (counting from top to bottom).

[0059] Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram illustrating another pattern according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0060] Network-side devices can predetermine multiple patterns, for example, based on protocol agreements or configurations provided to the terminal by the network-side device (e.g., via Radio Resource Control (RRC) signaling). The network-side device can then instruct the terminal to use one of these multiple patterns as the pattern information for the resource.

[0061] like Figure 3 As shown, the terminal predetermines two patterns, pattern-1 and pattern-2. The network-side device can indicate one of these two patterns to the terminal through pattern indication information. For example, if pattern-1 is indicated to the terminal, the terminal can determine the RE used for interference measurement based on pattern-1.

[0062] Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram illustrating yet another pattern according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0063] Pattern information can define the position of REs in multiple RBs, with multiple RBs corresponding to multiple slots, for example... Figure 4 As shown, the pattern information can be the position of RE in 4 consecutive RBs (corresponding to 4 slots, slot#n to slot#n+3).

[0064] In one embodiment, the pattern information is determined based on a protocol agreement or determined by a network-side device and then indicated to the terminal. That is, the method may further include: indicating the pattern information to the terminal.

[0065] The pattern information in the configuration information can be determined based on protocol agreements. For example, multiple patterns can be determined based on protocol agreements, and the network-side device can indicate one of these multiple patterns to the terminal through pattern indication information. Alternatively, the pattern information in the configuration information can be indicated by the network-side device. For example, the network-side device can directly indicate the specific pattern information, or the terminal can first determine multiple patterns based on protocol agreements, and the network-side device can indicate one of these multiple patterns to the terminal through pattern indication information.

[0066] In one embodiment, the granularity of the pattern information is determined based on protocol agreement or determined by the network-side device and then indicated to the terminal. That is, the method may further include: indicating the granularity to the terminal.

[0067] When the network-side device indicates the pattern information, since the pattern information includes both time-domain and frequency-domain occupancy information, it is not necessary to further indicate the time-domain and frequency-domain occupancy information. However, in this case, the applicability of the pattern information in the frequency domain becomes difficult to determine. Therefore, it is necessary to determine the specific granularity corresponding to the applicability of the pattern information in the frequency domain. The granularity can be, for example, one or more RBs, one or more REs, etc. The granularity can be determined based on protocol agreements or indicated to the terminal by the network-side device.

[0068] Figure 5 This is a schematic diagram illustrating one of the resources according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0069] like Figure 5 As shown, for example, for the TDD band, the structure of the uplink and downlink TDD time slots is 6 downlink time slots (slot#0 to slot#5), 1 variable time slot (slot#6), and 3 uplink time slots (slot#7 to slot#9), which is DDDDDDSUUU.

[0070] If a network-side device performs interference measurements on some resources in slots #0 and #5, it can send a DCI (Distributed Information Code) in slot #0 to indicate the configuration information of the resources used for interference measurement, and send a DCI in slot #5 to indicate the configuration information of the resources used for interference measurement. The resources used for interference measurement in slots #0 and #5 can be the same or different, depending on the needs of the network-side device.

[0071] Figure 6 This is a schematic diagram illustrating a pattern according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0072] In one embodiment, the configuration information may include pattern information, and the network-side device may also indicate the granularity, for example... Figure 6 As shown, the granularity is 4 RBs (corresponding to 4 slots, slot#n to slot#n+3), so the applicable range of the pattern in the frequency domain is 4 RBs, and the RE pattern in each of these 4 RBs is the same.

[0073] Figure 7 This is a schematic flowchart illustrating another resource indication method according to embodiments of the present disclosure. Figure 7 As shown, sending the first indication information to the terminal includes: In step S701, the target identifier corresponding to the configuration information is determined according to the association relationship between the identifier and the configuration information; In step S702, the target identifier is sent to the terminal along with the first indication information.

[0074] In one embodiment, configuration information for multiple resources used for interference measurement can be predetermined, and the association between the configuration information and the identifier of the resources used for interference measurement can be stored in advance. Then, when the network-side device indicates the configuration information, it can indicate the target identifier corresponding to the configuration information in the association, which helps to save resource overhead in the indication process.

[0075] The relationships can be stored in a table or in other ways. For example, a table can be used as shown in Table 2 below: Table 2 It is understood that each element in Table 2 exists independently. These elements are listed in the same table as an example, but this does not mean that all elements in the table must exist simultaneously as shown in the table. The value of each element is independent of the values ​​of any other element in Table 2. Therefore, those skilled in the art will understand that the value of each element in Table 2 is an independent embodiment.

[0076] The configuration information includes frequency domain range, time window (also known as time domain resource range), and RE pattern (i.e., pattern information), with the Entry index serving as an identifier. For example, if there is configuration information for M sets of resources, the network-side device can indicate the identifier through the DCI. For instance, the DCI can carry ceil(log2(M)) bits to indicate the configuration information of one set of resources within the configuration information of M sets of resources. As shown in Table 2, if M=4, then it can be indicated using 2 bits. The relationship between the indication and the identifier carried in the DCI can be shown in Table 3. Table 3 For example, if the indication carried in the DCI is 00, then the identifier of the indication can be determined as Entry #0. Furthermore, according to Table 3, the configuration information corresponding to Entry #0 is determined to be the configuration information of the resources used by the network-side device for interference measurement. It is understood that each element in Table 3 exists independently. These elements are listed in the same table as an example, but this does not mean that all elements in the table must exist simultaneously as shown in the table. The value of each element is independent of the values ​​of any other element in Table 3. Therefore, those skilled in the art will understand that the value of each element in Table 1 is an independent embodiment.

[0077] Figure 8This is a schematic flowchart illustrating yet another resource indication method according to embodiments of the present disclosure. Figure 8 As shown, the method further includes: In step S801, when interference measurement on the resource is stopped, a second indication message is sent to the terminal to instruct the network-side device to deactivate interference measurement on the resource.

[0078] In one embodiment, interference measurements performed by the network-side device can be stopped as needed. When interference measurements on the resource are stopped, a second indication message can be sent to the terminal so that the terminal can determine that the network-side device has deactivated interference measurements on the resource.

[0079] In this embodiment of the disclosure, the second indication information is used to instruct the terminal that the network-side device should stop performing interference measurements on the resource. In a possible embodiment of the disclosure, the first indication information is used to instruct the terminal to start receiving transmissions (including data and / or reference signals) on the resource corresponding to the configuration information, or to start performing a preset operation on the resource corresponding to the configuration information.

[0080] In one embodiment, the method further includes transmitting at least one of the following on the resource: data, a reference signal. When the network-side device stops performing interference measurements on the resource, it can transmit data, reference signals, etc. on the resource, and correspondingly, the terminal can receive data, reference signals, etc. on the resource.

[0081] In one embodiment, the network-side device pre-configures configuration information for multiple resources for the terminal. The first indication information is used to indicate the configuration information of the resources activated by the network-side device for interference measurement among the multiple resources. In this embodiment, the first indication information and the second indication information can be the same information, and the network-side device uses one indication information to indicate relevant information for starting and ending interference measurement.

[0082] In some embodiments, the network-side device may pre-configure configuration information for multiple resources for the terminal. One of the configuration information can be activated by the first indication information as the configuration information for the network-side device to use for interference measurement. The first indication information can indicate the start / end time of the terminal interference measurement, so as to instruct the terminal to stop receiving transmissions (including data and / or reference signals) between the start and end times.

[0083] Figure 9 This is a schematic diagram illustrating an activation / deactivation process according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0084] The network-side device instructs the terminal via first indication information regarding the resources used by the network-side device for interference measurement, such as... Figure 9 As shown, the resource has a period of 2 time slots, that is, the network-side device performs interference measurement on the resource according to the period, and the terminal stops receiving data and reference signals on the resource according to the period.

[0085] After completing interference measurement (or for other reasons), the network-side device can stop performing interference measurement on the resource. It can instruct the terminal through the first indication information, so that the terminal can determine that the network-side device has stopped performing interference measurement on the resource. That is, the network-side device stops performing interference measurement on the resource, and then it can send data and reference signals on the resource, and the terminal can also receive data and reference signals on the resource.

[0086] Figure 10 This is a schematic flowchart illustrating an information receiving method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. The information receiving method shown in this embodiment can be executed by a terminal, which includes, but is not limited to, communication devices such as mobile phones, tablets, wearable devices, sensors, and IoT devices. The terminal can communicate with network-side devices, which include, but are not limited to, network-side devices in 4G, 5G, and 6G communication systems, such as base stations and core networks.

[0087] like Figure 10 As shown, the information receiving method may include the following steps: In step S1001, the first indication information sent by the network-side device is received; In step S1002, the configuration information of the network-side device for interference measurement is determined according to the first indication information.

[0088] In one embodiment, the network-side device can determine the resources used for interference measurement based on the needs of interference measurement. For example, the resources include downlink resources, specifically including at least one of the following: downlink resources in the Time Division Duplex (TDD) band (e.g., downlink time slots in the TDD band); and downlink resources in the Frequency Division Duplex (FDD) band (e.g., downlink spectrum in the FDD band). Of course, the resources may further include uplink resources, such as uplink resources in the TDD band (e.g., uplink time slots in the TDD band) and uplink resources in the FDD band (e.g., uplink spectrum in the TDD band). The following embodiments are mainly exemplified when the resources are downlink resources.

[0089] In one embodiment, the network-side device can communicate in full-duplex mode, which refers to simultaneously transmitting uplink and downlink data on the same frequency domain resource (e.g., frequency band, carrier, subcarrier, bandwidth portion, resource block, resource element, etc.). In one embodiment, the method further includes: stopping the transmission of data and reference signals on the resource.

[0090] When network-side devices communicate in full-duplex mode, interference may exist on the aforementioned downlink resources. Therefore, it is necessary to perform interference measurement on these resources. In order to obtain accurate measurement results, network-side devices may stop sending data, reference signals, etc. on these resources during interference measurement.

[0091] According to embodiments of this disclosure, after determining the resources used for interference measurement, the network-side device can indicate the configuration information of the resources used for interference measurement to the terminal through first indication information. This enables the terminal to determine the resources used by the network-side device for interference measurement based on the configuration information, thereby avoiding the expectation of receiving data, reference signals, etc., sent by the network-side device on these resources. This avoids wasting terminal resources and demodulation errors.

[0092] Additionally, it should be noted that in some cases, there may be a conflict between the downlink data channel and the resource. That is, the terminal determines on one hand that it will receive downlink data on the resource, and on the other hand, it determines that the network-side device will perform interference measurement on the resource according to the first indication information. In this case, the terminal will prioritize determining that the network-side device will perform interference measurement on the resource, and will perform rate matching on the resource, and will not expect to receive data or reference signals sent by the network-side device on the resource.

[0093] In one embodiment, the method further includes: performing rate matching on the resource to stop receiving data and reference signals sent by the network-side device on the resource. That is, the terminal can perform rate matching on the resource to stop receiving data and reference signals sent by the network-side device on the resource.

[0094] In one embodiment, the first indication information includes at least one of the following: Downlink Control Information (DCI); Media Access Control Layer Control Element (MAC CE).

[0095] Network-side devices can send the configuration information of the resource to the terminal as DCI as the first indication information, and can also send the configuration information of the resource to the terminal as MAC CE as the first indication information.

[0096] In one embodiment, the DCI includes common downlink control information (common DCI).

[0097] The network-side device sends the configuration information of the resource to the terminal via the common DCI as the first indication information. Since the network-side device should not expect to receive data or reference signals sent by the network-side device on the resource when it performs interference measurement on the resource, all terminals in the cell corresponding to the network-side device should not receive the data or reference signals sent by the network-side device on the resource. Therefore, the configuration information can be uniformly indicated to all terminals in the cell corresponding to the network-side device via the common DCI (e.g., multicast), without having to indicate it to each terminal separately, which helps to save resources.

[0098] DCI can be a newly defined DCI format or it can use the existing DCI format, such as DCI format 1_1, DCI format 1_2, etc.

[0099] In one embodiment, the configuration information includes at least one of the following: Frequency domain occupancy information, time domain occupancy information, time domain resource range, and pattern information of the frequency domain occupancy information and the time domain occupancy information.

[0100] In one embodiment, the configuration information of the resource indicated by the network-side device may consist of frequency domain occupancy information and time domain occupancy information, based on which the location of the resource in the frequency domain and time domain can be determined. For example, the resource block (RB) corresponding to the frequency domain occupancy information and the time domain occupancy information in a certain time slot can be determined, or more specifically, the corresponding resource element (RE).

[0101] In one embodiment, the configuration information of the resource indicated by the network-side device may further include a time-domain resource range. Based on the time-domain resource range, the resource can be determined within a certain number of time slots, and the resource can be determined based on the frequency-domain occupancy information and the time-domain occupancy information.

[0102] The terminal can predetermine multiple time-domain resource ranges, for example, according to the protocol agreement or according to the network side configuration. Subsequently, the network side device can indicate one of these multiple time-domain resource ranges, for example, by indicating the identifier corresponding to the time-domain resource range. For example, the association between the identifier of the time-domain resource range and the time-domain resource can be shown in Table 1 above.

[0103] As shown in Table 1, the terminal predetermines 4 time window lengths (also known as time domain resource ranges). The network-side device can use log2(W) bits to indicate the time window identifier. In the embodiment of Table 1, W is equal to 4, for example, the identifier is 01. Based on Table 1, the corresponding time window length can be determined to be 5. Then it can be determined that there are resources for the network-side device to perform interference measurement in 5 time slots.

[0104] Additionally, it should be noted that when the time domain resource range is indicated by MAC CE, since it takes the terminal a certain amount of time, such as 3 milliseconds, to parse the MAC CE, the start time of the time domain resource range is at least 3 milliseconds after the downlink time slot of the hybrid automatic repeat request corresponding to the MAC CE.

[0105] In one embodiment, the configuration information of the resources indicated by the network-side device may also include pattern information of the frequency domain occupancy information and the time domain occupancy information. Based on the pattern information, the terminal can determine which REs in the RB the network-side device performs interference measurements on. Since the pattern information includes both frequency domain occupancy information and time domain occupancy information, indicating the pattern information can relatively reduce resource overhead compared to indicating the frequency domain occupancy information and the time domain occupancy information separately.

[0106] In one embodiment, the frequency domain occupancy information includes the frequency domain start position and the frequency domain range.

[0107] When indicating frequency domain occupancy information, network-side devices can indicate the frequency domain start position and frequency domain range. Based on the frequency domain start position and frequency domain range, the frequency domain location of the resources used by the network-side devices for interference measurement can be determined.

[0108] The terminal can predetermine multiple patterns, for example, based on protocol agreements or based on the configuration of network-side devices (e.g., via Radio Resource Control (RRC) signaling). The network-side device can instruct the terminal to use one of these multiple patterns as the pattern information for the resource.

[0109] like Figure 3 As shown, the terminal predetermines two patterns, namely pattern-1 and pattern-2. The network-side device can indicate one of these two patterns to the terminal through pattern indication information. For example, if pattern-1 is indicated to the terminal, the terminal can determine the RE used for interference measurement based on pattern-1.

[0110] Pattern information can define the position of REs in multiple RBs, with multiple RBs corresponding to multiple slots, for example... Figure 4 As shown, the pattern information can be the position of RE in 4 consecutive RBs (corresponding to 4 slots, slot#n to slot#n+3).

[0111] In one embodiment, the pattern information is determined based on a protocol agreement, or determined by a network-side device and then indicated to the terminal. That is, the method further includes: receiving information sent by the network-side device indicating the pattern information.

[0112] The pattern information in the configuration information can be determined based on protocol agreements. For example, multiple patterns can be determined based on protocol agreements, and the network-side device can indicate one of these multiple patterns to the terminal through pattern indication information. Alternatively, the pattern information in the configuration information can be indicated by the network-side device. For example, the network-side device can directly indicate the specific pattern information, or the terminal can first determine multiple patterns based on protocol agreements, and the network-side device can indicate one of these multiple patterns to the terminal through pattern indication information.

[0113] In one embodiment, the pattern information is determined based on a protocol agreement, or it is determined by a network-side device and then indicated to the terminal. That is, the method further includes: determining the pattern information according to the indication from the network-side device.

[0114] When the network-side device indicates the pattern information, since the pattern information includes both time-domain and frequency-domain occupancy information, it is not necessary to further indicate the time-domain and frequency-domain occupancy information. However, in this case, the applicability of the pattern information in the frequency domain becomes difficult to determine. Therefore, it is necessary to determine the specific granularity corresponding to the applicability of the pattern information in the frequency domain. The granularity can be, for example, one or more RBs, one or more REs, etc. The granularity can be determined based on protocol agreements or indicated to the terminal by the network-side device.

[0115] In one embodiment, the granularity of the pattern information is determined based on a protocol agreement, or the method further includes: determining the granularity according to the instructions of the network-side device.

[0116] When the network-side device indicates the pattern information, since the pattern information includes both time-domain and frequency-domain occupancy information, it is not necessary to further indicate the time-domain and frequency-domain occupancy information. However, in this case, the applicability of the pattern information in the frequency domain becomes difficult to determine. Therefore, it is necessary to determine the specific granularity corresponding to the applicability of the pattern information in the frequency domain. The granularity can be, for example, one or more RBs, one or more REs, etc. The granularity can be determined based on protocol agreements or indicated to the terminal by the network-side device.

[0117] like Figure 5 As shown, for example, for the TDD band, the structure of the uplink and downlink TDD time slots is 6 downlink time slots (slot#0 to slot#5), 1 variable time slot (slot#6), and 3 uplink time slots (slot#7 to slot#9), which is DDDDDDSUUU.

[0118] If a network-side device performs interference measurements on some resources in slots #0 and #5, it can send a DCI (Distributed Information Code) in slot #0 to indicate the configuration information of the resources used for interference measurement, and send a DCI in slot #5 to indicate the configuration information of the resources used for interference measurement. The resources used for interference measurement in slots #0 and #5 can be the same or different, depending on the needs of the network-side device.

[0119] In one embodiment, the configuration information may include pattern information, and the network-side device may also indicate the granularity, for example... Figure 6 As shown, the granularity is 4 RBs (corresponding to 4 slots, slot#n to slot#n+3), so the applicable range of the pattern in the frequency domain is 4 RBs, and the RE pattern in each of these 4 RBs is the same.

[0120] Figure 11 This is a schematic flowchart illustrating another information receiving method according to embodiments of the present disclosure. Figure 11 As shown, determining the configuration information of the network-side device's resources for interference measurement based on the first indication information includes: In step S1101, the target identifier in the first indication information is determined; In step S1102, configuration information is determined based on the target identifier.

[0121] In one possible implementation, the terminal determines the configuration information corresponding to the target identifier based on the correspondence between the target identifier and the configuration information.

[0122] In one embodiment, configuration information for multiple resources used for interference measurement can be predetermined, and the association between the configuration information and the identifier of the resources used for interference measurement can be stored in advance. Then, when the network-side device indicates the configuration information, it can indicate the target identifier corresponding to the configuration information in the association, which helps to save resource overhead in the indication process.

[0123] The relationships can be stored in the form of a table or in other ways, such as in Table 2 above.

[0124] The configuration information includes frequency domain range, time window (also known as time domain resource range), and RE pattern (i.e., pattern information), with the Entry index serving as an identifier. For example, if there is configuration information for M sets of resources, the network-side device can indicate the identifier through DCI. For instance, the DCI can carry ceil(log2(M)) bits to indicate the configuration information of one set of resources within the configuration information of M sets of resources. As shown in Table 2, if M=4, then it can be indicated using 2 bits. The relationship between the indication and the identifier carried in the DCI can be seen in Table 3 above.

[0125] For example, if the indication carried in the DCI is 00, then the identifier of the indication can be determined as Entry #0. Then, according to Table 3, the configuration information corresponding to Entry #0 is the configuration information of the resources used by the network-side device for interference measurement.

[0126] Figure 12 This is a schematic flowchart illustrating another information receiving method according to embodiments of the present disclosure. Figure 12 As shown, the method further includes: In step S1201, the second indication information sent by the network-side device is received; In step S1202, the network-side device is determined to deactivate interference measurement on the resource based on the second indication information.

[0127] In this embodiment of the disclosure, the second indication information is used to instruct the terminal that the network-side device should stop performing interference measurements on the resource. In another embodiment of the disclosure, the first indication information is used to instruct the terminal to start receiving transmissions (including data and / or reference signals) on the resource corresponding to the configuration information, or to start performing a preset operation on the resource corresponding to the configuration information.

[0128] In one embodiment, interference measurements performed by the network-side device can be stopped as needed. When interference measurements on the resource are stopped, a second indication message can be sent to the terminal so that the terminal can determine that the network-side device has deactivated interference measurements on the resource.

[0129] In one embodiment, the method further includes receiving at least one of the following on the resource: data and a reference signal. When the network-side device stops performing interference measurements on the resource, it can transmit data, reference signals, etc. on the resource, and correspondingly, the terminal can receive data, reference signals, etc. on the resource.

[0130] In one embodiment, the network-side device pre-configures configuration information for multiple resources for the terminal, and the first indication information is used to indicate the configuration information of the resources activated by the network-side device for interference measurement among the multiple resources.

[0131] The network-side device can pre-configure configuration information for multiple resources for the terminal. One of these configuration information pieces can be activated via a first indication, serving as the configuration information for the resource used by the network-side device for interference measurement. In this embodiment, the first and second indication information can be the same information; the network-side device uses this single indication to specify the start and end information for interference measurement.

[0132] The network-side device instructs the terminal via first indication information, enabling the terminal to determine the resources used by the network-side device for interference measurement, such as... Figure 9 As shown, the resource has a period of 2 time slots, that is, the network-side device performs interference measurement on the resource according to the period, and the terminal stops receiving data and reference signals on the resource according to the period.

[0133] After completing interference measurement (or for other reasons), the network-side device can stop performing interference measurement on the resource. It can instruct the terminal through the first indication information, so that the terminal can determine that the network-side device has stopped performing interference measurement on the resource. That is, the network-side device stops performing interference measurement on the resource, and then it can send data and reference signals on the resource, and the terminal can also receive data and reference signals on the resource.
