Description

[Technical field]

[0001] FIELD OF THE DISCLOSURE The present invention relates to the field of communications technology. [Background technology]

[0002] The 3GPP standardization organization has carried out the standardization work of a unified transmission configuration indication (TCI) in the standardization process of release 17 (Rel-17), where the unified TCI in Rel-17 is mainly designed for single transmission and reception point (sTRP) scenarios.

[0003] As standardization work progresses, multiple transmission and reception point (mTRP) has become an important scenario for 5G NR systems, and transmission based on mTRP can achieve improved throughput or improved reliability.

[0004] In the past standardization work, Physical Downlink Shared Channel (PDSCH) transmission based on mTRP has been standardized in Rel-16. Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH), Physical Uplink Shared Channel (PUSCH), and Physical Uplink Control Channel (PUCCH) transmission based on mTRP have been standardized in Rel-17. Here, mTRP transmission includes mTRP transmission based on single Downlink Control Information (sDCI) and mTRP transmission based on multiple DCI (mDCI).

[0005] The above description of the background art is merely for the purpose of more clearly and completely explaining the configurations of the present invention and for the understanding of those skilled in the art, and should not be construed as meaning that these configurations are well known to those skilled in the art just because they are described in the background art of the present invention. Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0006] However, according to the discovery of the present inventors, the unified TCI in Rel-17 only applies to the sTRP scenario, and considering the importance of mTRP, it is necessary to design a corresponding unified TCI mechanism for the mTRP scenario.

[0007] In a scenario for a single transmission and reception point (sTRP) of Rel-17 unified TCI, the network device uses RRC signaling to configure M (M≧1) TCI states for the terminal device, uses MAC CE to activate N (1≦N≦M) TCI states among the M TCI states, and uses DCI to indicate L (1≦L≦N) TCI states among the N TCI states. Here, one TCI state (abbreviated as TCI) may include or correspond to one or two source reference signals (source RS). The source reference signal may provide Quasi Co-Location (QCL) information for downlink reception, which is referred to as downlink source reference signal. The source reference signal may provide a reference for an uplink transmission spatial filter (UL TX spatial filter), which is referred to as uplink source reference signal.

[0008] The source reference signal may provide beam information for a destination channel / signal. For example, the beam for the terminal device to receive the destination channel / signal is the same as the beam for receiving the downlink source reference signal. As another example, the beam for the terminal device to transmit the destination channel / signal is the same as the beam for transmitting the uplink source reference signal. As another example, the beam for the terminal device to transmit the destination channel / signal is compatible with the beam for receiving the downlink source reference signal, i.e., uses a beam in the opposite direction.

[0009] Therefore, the indication or update of the TCI state actually includes the indication or update of the beam used by the terminal device. The TCI state includes a joint TCI state, a downlink TCI state and an uplink TCI state. The source reference signal included in the downlink TCI state is a downlink source reference signal, the source reference signal included in the uplink TCI state is an uplink source reference signal, and the source reference signal included in the joint TCI state is both a downlink source reference signal and an uplink source reference signal. The joint TCI state acts on both the downlink beam (receive beam) and the uplink beam (transmit beam). In other words, the downlink beam and the uplink beam use the same beam but have opposite beam directions, i.e., the uplink beam and the downlink beam are compatible. The downlink TCI state acts only on the downlink beam. The uplink TCI state acts only on the uplink beam. The uplink beam is also called the uplink transmit spatial filter. The TCI field may indicate a joint TCI state (joint DL / UL TCI) or the TCI field may indicate a separate TCI state (separate DL / UL TCI), i.e., a downlink TCI state and / or an uplink TCI state. Indicating a joint TCI state or indicating a separate TCI state may be configured via RRC signaling.

[0010] In the Rel-17 unified TCI, for joint TCI states, one TCI field indicates one joint TCI state (equivalent to indicating both one downlink TCI state and one uplink TCI state), and for separate TCI states, one TCI field indicates one downlink TCI state, or one uplink TCI state, or a downlink TCI state and an uplink TCI state.

[0011] Currently, the standardization work for Rel-18 has not started, but the unified TCI for mTRP has already been determined as one of the projects for Rel-18. That is, 3GPP (registered trademark) will standardize the unified TCI for mTRP in Rel-18. Functionally, the unified TCI for mTRP must be able to indicate the TCI state (multiple TCI states) of multiple TRPs (two or more TRPs) and indicate the TCI state (one TCI state) of one TRP. However, in the mTRP scenario, if one TCI state is indicated, it may be ambiguous as to which TRP the terminal device specifically performs uplink transmission (i.e., which SRS resource set is used to determine transmission parameters), which may cause uplink transmission failure and affect the overall performance of the system.

[0012] In view of at least one of the above problems, the embodiments of the present invention provide a signal transmitting device, a signal receiving device and a method, which can avoid ambiguity about which TRP a terminal device uses uplink transmission parameters for (i.e., which SRS resource set is used to determine transmission parameters), and ensure the throughput or reliability of uplink transmission by using appropriate uplink transmission parameters. [Means for solving the problem]

[0015] Another aspect of an embodiment of the present invention provides a signal transmission device, the device including: a receiving unit that receives TCI state indication information, the TCI state indication information indicating at least one TCI state; a determining unit that determines an SRS resource set associated with the TCI state among a plurality of configured SRS resource sets; and a transmitting unit that performs uplink transmission using parameters associated with the SRS resource set associated with the TCI state and / or parameters associated with the TCI state.

[0016] Another aspect of an embodiment of the present invention provides a signal receiving device, the device including: a configuration unit for configuring a plurality of SRS resource sets; a transmission unit for transmitting TCI state indication information, the TCI state indication information indicating at least one TCI state; and a reception unit for receiving an uplink signal transmitted by a terminal device, the terminal device transmitting the uplink signal using parameters related to an SRS resource set associated with the TCI state and / or parameters related to the TCI state.

[0017] One of the advantageous effects of the embodiment of the present invention is as follows: A terminal device receives TCI state indication information, the TCI state indication information indicating at least one TCI state, determines an SRS resource set associated with the TCI state in a plurality of SRS resource sets, and transmits an uplink signal using a parameter associated with the SRS resource set associated with the TCI state and / or a parameter associated with the TCI state, thereby avoiding ambiguity about which TRP the terminal device uses uplink transmission parameters, and the terminal device uses appropriate uplink transmission parameters to perform uplink transmission, thereby ensuring throughput or reliability of uplink transmission.

[0033] The following describes an embodiment scenario of the present invention with reference to an example, but the present invention is not limited thereto.

[0034] FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of a communication system according to an embodiment of the present invention, and shows an example of a terminal device and a network device. As shown in FIG. 1, the communication system 100 may include a first TRP 101, a second TRP 102, and a terminal device 103. Here, the first TRP 101 and the second TRP 102 may be network devices. For convenience of explanation, FIG. 1 simply takes two network devices and one terminal device as an example, but the embodiment of the present invention is not limited thereto.

[0035] In the embodiment of the present invention, existing services or services that can be implemented in the future can be performed between the first TRP 101, the second TRP 102, and the terminal device 103. For example, these services include, but are not limited to, enhanced Mobile Broadband (eMBB), massive Machine Type Communication (mMTC), and Ultra-Reliable and Low-Latency Communication (URLLC), etc.

[0036] Rel-16 standardizes PDSCH transmission based on mTRP, and Rel-17 standardizes PDCCH, PUSCH, and PUCCH transmission based on mTRP. mTRP transmission includes mTRP transmission based on sDCI (single DCI) and mTRP transmission based on mDCI (multiple DCI). In sDCI mTRP, one DCI schedules uplink and downlink transmissions of two TRPs, and is suitable when backhaul between TRPs is suitable. In mDCI mTRP, two TRPs schedule uplink and downlink transmissions of each TRP using two DCIs, and is suitable when backhaul between TRPs is not suitable.

[0037] However, in an mTRP scenario, when indicated by a unified TCI, the unified TCI may indicate the TCI status of multiple TRPs or may indicate the TCI status of a single TRP.

[0038] Taking the PUSCH transmission by the terminal device 103 in the mTRP scenario as an example, as shown in Fig. 1, the terminal device 103 transmits PUSCH in a PUSCH repetition manner. For example, it transmits to the first TRP 101 in slot 1, transmits to the second TRP 102 in slot 2, and so on.

[0039] In the mTRP scenario, for example, the terminal device is configured with two SRS resource sets. For example, for the terminal device 103, a first SRS resource set (1st SRS resource set) corresponding to the first TRP 101 is configured, and for the terminal device 103, a second SRS resource set (2nd SRS resource set) corresponding to the second TRP 102 is configured.

[0040] Due to the difference in geographical location between the first TRP 101 and the second TRP 102, the terminal device may transmit PUSCH to the first TRP 101 and / or the second TRP 102 based on transmission parameters such as different precoding matrices, SRS resource indicators (SRIs), power control parameters, etc. Also, the terminal device obtains transmission parameters for the first TRP 101 and the second TRP 102 based on the first SRS resource set and the second SRS resource set.

[0041] Take the transmission parameter as an example, SRI (SRS resource indicator). In the case of a dynamic UL grant, two SRI fields in the DCI indicate SRS resources in two SRS resource sets, respectively. In the case of a configured grant, the two SRIs are configured by RRC for the two SRS resource sets. Therefore, the terminal device needs to know the mapping relationship between the PUSCH repetition and the SRS resource set, that is, to know which SRS resource set each PUSCH repetition transmits based on.

[0042] Also, for a unified TCI of an mTRP, the TCI field may indicate two uplink TCI states or joint TCI states, or may indicate one uplink TCI state or joint TCI state. If two SRS resource sets are configured for a terminal device, but the TCI field indicates only one uplink TCI state or joint TCI state, the terminal device cannot know which SRS resource set to transmit based on when performing uplink transmission.

[0043] Since the SRS resource is associated with the SRS resource set, the terminal device cannot know which SRS resource to transmit based on. Since information such as an antenna, a precoding matrix, a number of layers, and a power control parameter used for uplink transmission are all determined based on the SRS resource set or the SRS resource, if the terminal device cannot know which SRS resource to transmit based on, the data rate (throughput) or reliability of the uplink transmission may be impaired. The following will be described in brief with reference to the drawings.

[0044] 2 is a schematic diagram of an example of a scenario according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 2, two SRS resource sets are configured for the terminal device 103, and one TCI state is indicated for the terminal device 103 at time T.

[0045] Although the terminal device 103 can know the corresponding uplink transmission beam based on the indicated TCI state, the terminal device 103 does not know which TRP (SRS resource set) the uplink beam corresponds to. Because the SRS resource indicator (SRI) and precoding matrix indicator (PMI) used by the terminal device 103 for the two TRPs are different, if the terminal device 103 transmits an uplink signal to the second TRP 102 using the SRI and PMI that should be used for the first TRP 101, an uplink signal transmission failure will occur, and vice versa.

[0046] In view of at least one of the above problems, an embodiment of the present invention provides a signal transmission method, a signal reception method and an apparatus when a DCI is used to indicate a unified TCI for a multi-TRP scenario.

[0047] <Example 1> An embodiment of the present invention provides a signal transmission method, which is applied to a terminal device, for which multiple SRS resource sets are configured.

[0048] 3 is a schematic diagram of an example of a signal transmission method according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 3, the method includes the following steps:

[0049] Step 301: A terminal device receives a TCI status indication, which indicates at least one TCI status.

[0050] Step 302: Determine an SRS resource set in the plurality of SRS resource sets that is associated with the TCI condition.

[0051] Step 303: Transmit an uplink signal using a parameter associated with an SRS resource set associated with the TCI state and / or a parameter associated with the TCI state.

[0052] It should be noted that the above FIG. 3 only shows a schematic diagram of an embodiment of the present invention, but the present invention is not limited thereto. For example, the execution order between various steps may be appropriately adjusted, some other steps may be added, and some steps may be removed. Those skilled in the art may make appropriate modifications based on the above content, and are not limited to the description of the above FIG. 3.

[0053] In some embodiments, the terms "TRP" and "SRS resource set" may be interchanged. The terms "TRP" and "CSI-RS resource set" may be interchanged. The terms "corresponding", "associated", and "comprising" may be interchanged, and "uplink TCI state" and "joint TCI state" may be interchanged. The terms "PUSCH", "PUSCH transmission", and "PUSCH transmission" may be interchanged. The embodiments of the present invention are not limited thereto.

[0054] Thus, the terminal device receives TCI state indication information, the TCI state indication information indicating at least one TCI state, determines an SRS resource set associated with the TCI state among a plurality of SRS resource sets, and transmits an uplink signal using a parameter associated with the SRS resource set associated with the TCI state and / or a parameter associated with the TCI state. Thus, ambiguity regarding which uplink transmission parameter for which TRP the terminal device uses can be avoided, and the terminal device performs uplink transmission using appropriate uplink transmission parameters, thereby ensuring throughput or reliability of uplink transmission.

[0055] The following describes indicating at least one TCI state in step 301.

[0056] In some embodiments, the TCI status indication information is carried by a TCI field in a first DCI format, for example the first DCI format is DCI format 1_1 or DCI format 1_2.

[0057] In some embodiments, the TCI status indication indicates an uplink TCI status and / or a downlink TCI status, or the TCI status indication indicates a joint TCI status to indicate an uplink TCI status and a downlink TCI status.

[0058] In some embodiments, the TCI status indication information is: 1 joint TCI state, Two joint TCI states, Two downlink TCI states and two uplink TCI states; one downlink TCI state and one uplink TCI state; Two downlink TCI states and one uplink TCI state; Two uplink TCI states and one downlink TCI state; Two downlink TCI states, Two uplink TCI states, One downlink TCI state, or Indicates at least one TCI state of one uplink TCI state.

[0059] In some embodiments, one or more TCI states are indicated by a transmission configuration indication (TCI) field of DCI format 1_1 or DCI format 1_2. DCI format 1_1 or DCI format 1_2 may schedule downlink data, referred to as DCI format 1_1 / 1_2 with DL assignment, or may not schedule downlink data, referred to as DCI format 1_1 / 1_2 without DL assignment (specifically indicating unified TCI).

[0060] In some embodiments, the terminal device For a terminal device, two SRS resource sets are configured, for example, configured by a network device through RRC signaling: When DCI format 1_1 / 1_2 with / without DL assignment indicates transmission configuration indication (TCI) state indication information, and the TCI state indication information indicates one uplink TCI state (UL-TCIState) or one joint TCI state (DLorJoint-TCIState), For at least one of the cases within the duration of an uplink TCI state or a joint TCI state, an SRS resource set associated with the TCI state is determined.

[0061] In some embodiments, taking as an example two SRS resource sets are configured for a terminal device, the i-th SRS resource set of the two SRS resource sets is associated with the i-th panel, e.g., i=1,2. The i-th SRS resource set is associated with the i-th uplink TCI state (UL-TCI State) or the i-th joint TCI state (DLorJoint-TCIState), e.g., i=1,2. In some embodiments, the i-th power control parameter set is determined based on the i-th uplink TCI state (UL-TCI State) or the i-th joint TCI state (DLorJoint-TCIState), e.g., i=1,2. In some embodiments, the power control parameter set i is determined based on an SRI field associated with the i-th SRS resource set, e.g., i=1,2.

[0062] In some embodiments, the SRS resource set includes: A physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) based on a dynamic grant, e.g., a PUSCH scheduled based on DCI format 0_1 ​​or DCI format 0_2 (in some embodiments, the PUSCH transmission based on the dynamic grant is a multiple TRP (mTRP) PUSCH transmission based on a single DCI (sDCI), e.g., dynamic grant transmissions for multiple TRPs are scheduled via a single DCI); PUSCH based on Type 1 configured grant (for example, an uplink transmission grant is provided by a resource management layer (RRC), and the terminal device stores the configuration as a grant configuration), PUSCH based on Type 2 configured grant (e.g., an uplink transmission grant is provided by the Resource Management Layer (RRC) and a Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH) stores or clears the configuration according to instructions for activation or deactivation of the configuration); Periodic SRS, Semi-persistent Sounding Reference Signal (SRS), Aperiodic SRS, or It relates to at least one signal / channel of the Physical Uplink Control Channel (PUCCH).

[0063] In some embodiments, the PUSCH transmission based on the dynamic grant includes an initial transmission and a retransmission of a PUSCH not based on a Type 1 / Type 2 configured grant scheduled according to DCI format 0_1 ​​or DCI format 0_2, and a retransmission of a PUSCH based on a Type 1 / Type 2 configured grant scheduled according to DCI format 0_1 ​​or DCI format 0_2. For example, details of the above signals / channels may refer to the prior art, and the present invention is not limited thereto.

[0064] The following is an exemplary description of a method for determining an SRS resource set associated with at least one TCI state indicated by the TCI state indication information in step 302.

[0065] In some embodiments, the SRS resource set associated with the TCI state is a predetermined SRS resource set among the plurality of SRS resource sets, e.g., the SRS resource set associated with the TCI state is a first SRS resource set among the plurality of SRS resource sets, and the index of the SRS resource set is, e.g., 0.

[0066] In some embodiments, the SRS resource set associated with the TCI state is determined based on an indication of a second DCI format, the second DCI format comprising: Physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) transmission based on dynamic grant; PUSCH transmission based on Type 2 configured grant, Physical Uplink Control Channel (PUCCH) transmission, Semi-persistent Sounding Reference Signal (SRS) transmission, or At least one of the non-periodic SRS transmissions is indicated or activated.

[0067] In some embodiments, during an operating time of one uplink TCI state or one joint TCI state, the terminal device receives a second DCI format and determines an SRS resource set associated with the one uplink TCI state or one joint TCI state based on the second DCI format. In some embodiments, the second DCI format may be DCI format 0_1 ​​or DCI format 0_2, or may be referred to as a second DCI format uplink transmission grant.

[0068] For example, an SRS resource set related to a TCI state is indicated by an SRS resource set indicator field in DCI format 0_1 ​​or DCI format 0_2, or is indicated by an SRS request field. For example, when the TCI state indication information indicates one uplink TCI state or one joint TCI state, an SRS resource set related to the one uplink TCI state or one joint TCI state is indicated by an SRS resource set indicator field or an SRS request field in DCI format 0_1 ​​or DCI format 0_2. DCI format 0_1 ​​or DCI format 0_2 is located within the action time of one uplink TCI state or one joint TCI state.

[0069] In some embodiments, the second DCI format may be DCI format 1_1 or DCI format 1_2.

[0070] For example, the SRS resource set associated with the TCI state is indicated by the SRS request field in DCI format 1_1 or DCI format 1_2.

[0071] In some embodiments, the second DCI format schedules transmission of uplink data when it indicates an SRS resource set associated with a TCI state and is referred to as DCI format 0_1 / 0_2 with UL allocation, or the second DCI format does not schedule transmission of uplink data when it indicates an SRS resource set associated with a TCI state and is referred to as DCI format 0_1 / 0_2 without UL allocation. In other words, the second DCI format may reuse a DCI for scheduling uplink data or may be a DCI that specifically indicates an SRS resource set associated with a TCI state.

[0072] In some embodiments, the SRS resource set associated with the TCI state is determined based on a reference signal, for example, the SRS resource set associated with the TCI state is determined based on a reference signal in an uplink TCI state or an associated TCI state, or the SRS resource set associated with the TCI state is determined based on a reference signal in PUCCH spatial relation info.

[0073] In some embodiments, the SRS resource set associated with the TCI state is determined based on an indication of a first DCI format, which may be DCI format 1_1 or DCI format 1_2.

[0074] For example, an SRS resource set associated with a TCI state is indicated by an unused field in DCI format 1_1 or DCI format 1_2, and / or an SRS resource set associated with a TCI state is indicated by a new field in DCI format 1_1 or DCI format 1_2, and / or an SRS resource set associated with a TCI state is indicated by a TCI field in DCI format 1_1 or DCI format 1_2.

[0075] In some embodiments, the methods of indicating an SRS resource set associated with a TCI state may be used in combination. For example, an SRS resource set associated with a TCI state may be jointly indicated by a first DCI format and a second DCI format. For example, an SRS resource set may be jointly indicated by at least one of an SRS resource set indicator field, an SRS request field, and a PUCCH resource indication field of the second DCI format, and a TCI field, an unused field, and a new field of the first DCI format. For example, when an SRS resource set associated with a TCI state is indicated by a TCI field of DCI format 1_1 or DCI format 1_2, an SRS resource set associated with a TCI state determined based on at least one of an SRS resource set indicator field, an SRS request field, and a PUCCH resource indication field is the same as an SRS resource set associated with the TCI state indicated by the TCI field.

[0076] In some embodiments, the associated SRS resource set may be determined based on at least one of a predetermined SRS resource set among a plurality of SRS resource sets, based on an indication of the second DCI format, and based on a reference signal.

[0077] For example, if a second DCI format is received before determining an SRS resource set associated with a TCI state, the SRS resource set associated with the TCI state is determined based on the SRS resource set indicator field or the SRS request field in the last received second DCI format, and if the second DCI format is not received before determining an SRS resource set associated with a TCI state, the SRS resource set associated with the TCI state is the first SRS resource set of the multiple SRS resource sets.

[0078] In some embodiments, the SRS resource set associated with the TCI state may be determined based on at least one of an indication of the second DCI format, a reference signal, and a first DCI format.

[0079] Moreover, other methods for jointly determining the SRS resource set associated with the TCI state are not described here.

[0080] The following describes the transmission of the uplink signal in step 303.

[0081] In some embodiments, after determining an SRS resource set associated with a TCI state among a plurality of SRS resource sets, the terminal device needs to further determine parameters associated with the SRS resource set associated with the TCI state and / or parameters associated with the TCI state.

[0082] In some embodiments, the parameter associated with the SRS resource set associated with the TCI state includes at least one of the following parameters: an SRS resource indicator (SRI), a Precoding Matrix Indicator (PMI), a number of layers, a number of antennas, an antenna index, or a power control parameter. In some embodiments, the parameter associated with the TCI state includes a power control parameter.

[0083] In some embodiments, the power control parameters include at least one of a target received power (P0), a path loss compensation factor (alpha), a path loss-reference signal (PL-RS), and a closed loop index.

[0084] The following is illustratively described as an example in which a terminal device transmits an uplink signal using a parameter related to an SRS resource set associated with a TCI state or a parameter related to a TCI state.

[0085] FIG. 4 is a schematic diagram of an example of transmission of an uplink signal by a terminal device according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0086] As shown in FIG. 4, taking a PUSCH based on a Type 1 configured grant as an example, the network device configures a first SRS resource set (1st SRS resource set) corresponding to a first TRP 101 for the terminal device 103, and configures a second SRS resource set (2nd SRS resource set) corresponding to a second TRP 102 for the terminal device 103.

[0087] In some embodiments, in the RRC configuration of the PUSCH based on the Type 1 configured grant, the SRI, PMI, number of layers, number of antennas, antenna index, and power control parameters associated with the first SRS resource set and the second SRS resource set are independent. For example, the associated SRI, PMI, number of layers, number of antennas, antenna index, and power control parameters are configured for the first SRS resource set and the second SRS resource set, respectively.

[0088] For example, in a particular configuration process, the SRI is indicated by the "srs-ResourceIndicator" field, the PMI and number of layers are indicated by the "precodingAndNumberOfLayers" field, the target received power (P0) and path loss compensation factor (alpha) are indicated by the "p0-PUSCH-Alpha" field, the closed loop index is indicated by the "powerControlLoopToUse" field, and the path loss reference signal (PL-RS) is indicated by the "pathlossReferenceIndex" field.

[0089] For example, the parameters configured for the 1st SRS resource set are: srs-ResourceIndicator, precodingAndNumberOfLayers, p0-PUSCH-Alpha, powerControlLoopToUse, Indicated by the information in pathlossReferenceIndex.

[0090] The parameters configured for the 2nd SRS resource set are: srs-ResourceIndicator2-r17, precodingAndNumberOfLayers2-r17, p0-PUSCH-Alpha2-r17, powerControlLoopToUse2-r17, Indicated by the information in pathlossReferenceIndex2-r17.

[0091] In some embodiments, the terminal device determines parameters associated with different SRS resource sets based on the above RRC configuration. Furthermore, the terminal device determines that the PUSCH based on the Type 1 configured grant is associated with the first SRS resource set (1st SRS resource set) according to the above aspect. As a result, the terminal device transmits the PUSCH of the Type 1 configured grant using the above parameters associated with the first SRS resource set (1st SRS resource set).

[0092] In some embodiments, when the terminal device 103 determines different SRS resource sets according to the above manner, the terminal device transmits the PUSCH using the first and second parameters.

[0093] For example, the first parameter is determined based on a specific SRS resource set. The first parameter includes at least one of an SRI, a PMI, and a number of layers. The second parameter is determined based on one uplink TCI state or a joint TCI state indicated by DCI format 1_1 or DCI format 1_2. The second parameter includes a power control parameter.

[0094] The PUSCH based on the Type 1 configured grant will still be described as an example. The terminal device uses the SRI, PMI, and number of layers associated with the first SRS resource set (1st SRS resource set), i.e., the first parameter. The related scheme is as described above. In addition, the TCI field of DCI format 1_1 or DCI format 1_2 indicates one uplink TCI state or joint TCI state, and the uplink TCI state or joint TCI state includes or is associated with at least one of a path loss reference signal (PL-RS), a target received power (P0), a path loss compensation factor (alpha), and a closed loop index (closedLoopIndex). This allows the terminal device to determine a power control parameter, i.e., a second parameter, based on the TCI state. The terminal device determines the first parameter and the second parameter, and transmits the PUSCH based on the Type 1 configured grant based on the first parameter and the second parameter.

[0095] The following is an exemplary description of different TCI indication cases.

[0096] In some embodiments, if the number of uplink TCI states (or joint TCI states) indicated by the TCI field is one, the SRS resource set is determined according to the above aspects.

[0097] For example, when the TCI state indication indicates one uplink TCI state or one joint TCI state, in the multiple SRS resource sets, the SRS resource set associated with the one uplink TCI state or one joint TCI state is determined according to the above aspect. For example, before the TCI state indication indicates one uplink TCI state or one joint TCI state, the TCI state indication indicates two uplink TCI states or two joint TCI states.

[0098] An exemplary description will be given with reference to Fig. 5. Fig. 5 is a schematic diagram of an example of determining associated SRS resource sets according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0099] For example, the TCI field of the first DCI format indicates two uplink TCI states at time T1, and after a certain period of time, for example at time T2, the TCI field indicates one uplink TCI state, i.e., after the TCI field indicates one uplink TCI state, the terminal device needs to determine an SRS resource set associated with the one uplink TCI state.

[0100] As shown in Figure 5, after the first DCI format indicates a TCI state, the action time of the indicated TCI state starts at a certain period after the DCI is transmitted. For example, time points T1 and T2 are the indication times of the TCI state, and β is the action time of the TCI state. As shown in Figure 5, T1 + α is the action start time of the two indicated uplink TCI states. T2 + α is the action start time of the one indicated uplink TCI state.

[0101] Therefore, the terminal device determines an SRS resource set associated with one uplink TCI state according to the above aspect within the action time β starting from T2+α.

[0102] In some embodiments, the TCI indicated by the first DCI format may indicate a downlink TCI and an uplink TCI, respectively (i.e., separate DL / UL TCI). For example, the value of the "unifiedtci-StateType" field in the RRC configuration is SeparateULDL. In some embodiments, the TCI indicated by the first DCI format may indicate a downlink TCI and an uplink TCI jointly (i.e., joint DL / UL TCI). For example, the value of the "unifiedtci-StateType" field in the RRC configuration is JointULDL.

[0103] The following will exemplarily describe a method for determining an SRS resource set associated with a TCI state with reference to various schemes.

[0104] In some embodiments, the SRS resource set associated with the TCI condition is a first SRS resource set of a plurality of SRS resource sets.

[0105] For example, if two SRS resource sets are configured for a terminal device and the number of uplink TCI states indicated by the TCI field is one (similar to the above embodiment), the PUSCH based on the Type 1 configured grant is considered to be associated with the first SRS resource set.

[0106] For example, DCI format 0_0 schedules PUSCH transmission based on a dynamic grant or activates PUSCH transmission based on a Type 2 configured grant, and the PUSCH is considered to be associated with the first SRS resource set, because, as a fallback DCI, DCI format 0_0 should include as few fields as possible, e.g., should not include a field indicating an SRS resource set associated with a TCI state, and therefore uses a predetermined SRS resource set, i.e., the default associated SRS resource set is the first SRS resource set among multiple SRS resource sets.

[0107] In some embodiments, the SRS resource set indicator field of DCI format 0_1 ​​or DCI format 0_2 indicates only one SRS resource set, i.e., does not indicate multiple SRS resource sets, e.g., the TCI field indicates one uplink TCI state, and during the duration of the one uplink TCI state, the SRS resource set indicator field indicates only one SRS resource set.

[0108] Table 1 shows a schematic diagram of the usage of the SRS resource set indicator field. When two SRS resource sets are configured for a terminal device, the bit width of the SRS resource set indicator field is 2 bits, and DCI format 0_1 ​​or DCI format 0_2 includes two SRS resource set indicator (SRI) fields (e.g., referred to as an "SRS resource indicator field" and a "second SRS resource indicator field", respectively) and two precoding fields (e.g., referred to as a "precoding information and number of layers field" and a "second precoding information field", respectively). The value of the two bits of the SRS resource set indicator field is "00" or "01". "00" (corresponding to a value 0) indicates the first SRS resource set, and "01" (corresponding to a value 1) indicates the second SRS resource set. "10" and "11" are reserved, i.e., not used. Table 1 SRS Resource Set Instructions

[0109] [Table 1] The corresponding English notation is as follows: Table 1 SRS resource set indication

[0110] [Table 2] In some embodiments, the SRS resource set is indicated by an SRS resource set indicator field of DCI format 0_1 ​​or DCI format 0_2. For example, if two SRS resource sets are configured for a terminal device and the number of uplink TCI states indicated by the TCI field is one, the PUSCH based on the Type 1 configured grant is associated with the SRS resource set indicated by the SRS resource set indicator field of the last received DCI format 0_1 ​​or DCI format 0_2. The PUSCH based on the Type 1 configured grant is located within the same TCI action time as the last received DCI format 0_1 ​​or DCI format 0_2.

[0111] Illustratively described below is the schematic diagram of another example of determining associated SRS resource sets according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0112] If DCI format 0_1 ​​is a DCI indicating an SRS resource set that the terminal device last received one time interval T' ago from the Type 1 configured grant resource, the transmission of the PUSCH on the Type 1 configured grant resource is related to the SRS resource set indicated by DCI format 0_1. Here, the time interval T' may include, for example, a DCI processing time and a PUSCH preparation time required for the terminal device. The PUSCH on the DCI format 0_1 ​​and the Type 1 configured grant resource is located within the same TCI action time.

[0113] In some embodiments, if the terminal device receives DCI format 0_1 ​​or DCI format 0_2 before determining the SRS resource set, the SRS resource set is indicated by the SRS resource set indicator field of the last received DCI format 0_1 ​​or DCI format 0_2. If the terminal device does not receive DCI format 0_1 ​​or DCI format 0_2 before determining the SRS resource set, the SRS resource set is the initial SRS resource set.

[0114] In some embodiments, DCI format 0_1 ​​or DCI format 0_2 indicating an SRS resource set may not schedule an uplink data transmission and may be used only to indicate an SRS resource set.

[0115] An exemplary description will be given with reference to Fig. 7. Fig. 7 is a schematic diagram of an example of downlink / uplink allocation with or without scheduling according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0116] For example, for a terminal device, if two uplink TCI states are already indicated by the TCI field of DCI format 1_1 or DCI format 1_2, and one uplink TCI state is indicated by the TCI field of DCI format 1_1 or DCI format 1_2, the terminal device knows the beam direction (TCI state), but does not know which SRS resource set (or TRP) this TCI state is associated with. Even though there is no uplink data that the terminal device needs to transmit to indicate the SRS resource set, the network device can still transmit DCI format 0_1 ​​or DCI format 0_2 and use its SRS resource set indicator field to indicate which SRS resource set the TCI state is associated with. For example, the network device indicates a second SRS resource set, and the terminal device can know that a PUSCH based on the uplink TCI state has been transmitted to the second TRP 102.

[0117] In some embodiments, the SRS resource set is an SRS resource set associated with an uplink source reference signal corresponding to an uplink TCI condition.

[0118] An exemplary description will be given with reference to Fig. 8. Fig. 8 is a schematic diagram of an example of determining an associated SRS resource set based on an uplink source reference signal according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0119] For example, a Type 1 configured grant is associated with two SRS resource sets, the number of uplink TCI states indicated by the TCI field of DCI format 1_1 is one, the uplink source reference signal corresponding to the indicated uplink TCI state is SRS, and the SRS resource is identified by "SRS-ResourceId". Since the terminal device knows the "SRS-ResourceId" of the SRS resource in the SRS resource set, it can determine which SRS resource set the uplink source reference signal belongs to based on the "SRS-ResourceId" (i.e., determine one associated SRS resource set based on the uplink source reference signal corresponding to the uplink TCI state).

[0120] In some embodiments, the SRS resource set is an SRS resource set associated with a reference signal in the PUCCH spatial relation info.

[0121] For example, the TCI field indicates one uplink TCI state, and the PUCCH resource indicator field of the DCI indicates one PUCCH resource for feeding back ACK / NACK. For the PUCCH resource, the RRC IE (Information Element) "PUCCH-SpatialRelationInfo" indicates that the reference signal for determining the PUCCH spatial relationship is SRS, and the SRS resource is identified by "SRS-ResourceId", and the terminal device can determine which SRS resource set the SRS belongs to based on "PUCCH" (i.e., determine one associated SRS resource set based on the reference signal in the PUCCH spatial relationship information).

[0122] In some embodiments, the PUCCH is the last PUCCH transmitted before the SRS resource set is determined, for example, a PUSCH based on a Type 1 configured grant determines an associated SRS resource set based on a previous last transmitted PUCCH, and the SRS resource set is an SRS resource set associated with a reference signal in the PUCCH spatial relationship information.

[0123] In some embodiments, the PUCCH resource indicator field only indicates a PUCCH resource for which one spatial relationship information is activated, i.e. does not indicate a PUCCH resource for which multiple spatial relationship information is activated. For example, the TCI field indicates one uplink TCI state, and within the action time of one uplink TCI state, the PUCCH resource indication field only indicates a PUCCH resource for which one spatial relationship information is activated. In some embodiments, when the terminal device has PUCCH resources for which two spatial relationship information are activated, the SRS resource set or the PUCCH spatial relationship information is determined according to the above method.

[0124] In some embodiments, the terminal device is configured with multiple SRS resource sets, and the SRS resource sets are indicated by a TCI field in DCI format 1_1 or DCI format 1_2.

[0125] An exemplary description will be given with reference to Fig. 9. Fig. 9 is a schematic diagram of an example of an indication of associated SRS resource sets according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0126] For the TCI field, one TCI codepoint indicates M downlink TCI states and N uplink TCI states, i.e., indicates one column in FIG. 9. Two ULs correspond to two SRS resource sets (or two TRPs), respectively. DCI indicates N=1 uplink TCI states and indicates the SRS resource set associated with the TCI state. For example, when DCI indicates column i, it indicates the second SRS resource set, and when DCI indicates column j, it indicates the first SRS resource set, i.e., column i and column j can be distinguished.

[0127] Preferably, the two DLs correspond to two CSI-RS resource sets (or two TRPs), respectively, and the DCI may further indicate which CSI-RS resource set the M=1 downlink TCI states are associated with.

[0128] FIG. 10 is a schematic diagram of an example of activating / deactivating a unified TCI state by a MAC CE according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0129] A MAC CE for activating / deactivating a unified TCI state by an mTRP is exemplarily described. After activation by the MAC CE, the established mapping relationship between the TCI codepoint and the TCI state includes SRS resource set information, and the SRS resource set can be obtained through the TCI codepoint. The MAC CE includes at least one of fields Pi, Di, Ui, Wi, and Vi, where i=1,2,...,8.

[0130] Pi indicates whether the i-th TCI codepoint corresponds to two-way TCI states (uplink and downlink TCI states) or one-way TCI state (uplink or downlink TCI state). When Pi is 1, it indicates that it corresponds to the uplink TCI state and the downlink TCI state, e.g., (M=2, N=2), (M=1, N=2), (M=2, N=1), (M=1, N=1). When Pi is 0, it indicates that it corresponds to the uplink TCI state or the downlink TCI state, e.g., (M=0, N=2), (M=2, N=0), (M=0, N=1), (M=1, N=0).

[0131] Di indicates whether the number of downlink TCI states (if any) corresponding to the i-th TCI codepoint is 1 or 2. When Di is 1, it indicates that two downlink TCI states are supported, e.g., (M=2, N=2), (M=2, N=1), or (M=2, N=0). When Di is 0, it indicates that one downlink TCI state is supported, e.g., (M=1, N=2), (M=1, N=1), or (M=1, N=0).

[0132] Ui indicates whether the number of uplink TCI states (if any) corresponding to the i-th TCI codepoint is 1 or 2. When Ui is 1, it indicates that two uplink TCI states are supported, e.g., (M=0, N=2), (M=1, N=2), or (M=2, N=2). When Ui is 0, it indicates that one uplink TCI state is supported, e.g., (M=0, N=1), (M=1, N=1), or (M=2, N=1).

[0133] Wi indicates which CSI-RS resource set a single downlink TCI state (if any) corresponding to the i-th TCI codepoint is associated with. When Wi is 1, it indicates that it corresponds to the second CSI-RS resource set. When Wi is 0, it indicates that it corresponds to the first CSI-RS resource set.

[0134] Vi indicates which SRS resource set the single uplink TCI state (if any) corresponding to the ith TCI codepoint is associated with. When Vi is 1, it indicates that it corresponds to the second SRS resource set. When Vi is 0, it indicates that it corresponds to the first SRS resource set.

[0135] If the i-th TCI codepoint corresponds to two uplink (downlink) TCI states, the k-th uplink (downlink) TCI state corresponds to the k-th SRS (CSI-RS) resource set, where k=1, 2. When D / U is 1, it indicates a downlink TCI state or a joint TCI state. When D / U is 0, it indicates an uplink TCI state. Preferably, the MAC CE includes at least one of a field service cell ID, a downlink BWP (bandwidth part) ID, and an uplink BWP ID.

[0136] In some embodiments, the TCI field of DCI format 1_1 or DCI format 1_2 does not indicate an SRS resource set. For example, the TCI field indicates an uplink TCI state but does not indicate which SRS resource set the TCI state is associated with. In this case, the SRS resource set may be determined based on at least one of a predetermined SRS resource set among a plurality of SRS resource sets, an indication of a second DCI format, or a reference signal.

[0137] FIG. 11 is a schematic diagram of another example of activating / deactivating a unified TCI state by a MAC CE according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0138] An exemplary description will be given with reference to FIG. 11. The MAC CE for activating / deactivating the unified TCI state by the mTRP includes at least one of fields Pi, Di, and Ui, where i=1, 2, ..., 8. The usage of the fields Pi, Di, and Ui is the same as that in FIG. 10, and therefore the description thereof will be omitted. After the activation by the MAC CE, the mapping relationship between the established TCI codepoint and the TCI state does not include SRS resource set information, and the TCI codepoint does not indicate the SRS resource set. In this case, the SRS resource set may be determined by at least one of the following methods: based on a predetermined SRS resource set among a plurality of SRS resource sets; based on an indication of a second DCI format; and based on a reference signal.

[0139] In some embodiments, the SRS resource set is determined by an unused field of DCI format 1_1 or DCI format 1_2. For example, DCI format 1_1 or DCI format 1_2 is a DCI format that does not schedule downlink data, i.e., DCI format 1_1 / 1_2 without DL assignment. In such a DCI format, a configured scheduling RNTI (CS-RNTI) is used to scramble the CRC of the DCI, and some fields of the DCI are set to specific values ​​and used to distinguish the DCI from the DCI for scheduling downlink data. For example, the redundancy version (RV) field and the MCS field are all set to "1", the NDI field is set to 0, and the frequency domain resource assignment (FDRA) field is all set to "0" or all set to "1" according to different frequency domain resource assignment types. Since downlink data is not scheduled, some fields in the DCI, such as the HARQ process number field, are not used. Therefore, the HARQ process number field can be used to indicate the first SRS resource set or the second SRS resource set.

[0140] In some embodiments, the SRS resource set determined based on at least one of the SRS resource set indicator field, the SRS request field, and the PUCCH resource indication field is the same as the SRS resource set indicated or determined based on the TCI field.

[0141] In some embodiments, when the TCI field of DCI format 1_1 or DCI format 1_2 indicates one uplink TCI state, the terminal device determines one SRS resource set, and transmits all PUSCH repetitions, where all PUSCH repetitions are associated with the SRS resource set.

[0142] For example, when two SRS resource sets are configured for a terminal device and the TCI field of DCI format 1_1 or DCI format 1_2 indicates two uplink TCI states, for PUSCH transmission based on PUSCH repetition, the terminal device determines the first PUSCH repetition and the second PUSCH repetition associated with the first SRS resource set and the second SRS resource set, respectively. When the TCI field of DCI format 1_1 or DCI format 1_2 indicates one uplink TCI state, the terminal device determines that the SRS resource set is the first SRS resource set, and the terminal device transmits the first PUSCH repetition and the second PUSCH repetition, where it is assumed that all PUSCH repetitions are associated with the first SRS resource set. The PUSCH repetition may include PUSCH repetition Type A and Type B, and may refer to TS 38.214 V17.1.0, and the present invention is not limited thereto.

[0143] FIG. 12 is a schematic diagram of an example of PUSCH repetitive transmission according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0144] Taking Type 1 configured grant as an example, when two SRS resource sets are configured for the terminal device, the first SRS resource set corresponds to the first TRP, and the second SRS resource set corresponds to the second TRP. Figure 12 shows the mapping relationship between different SRS resource sets and PUSCH repetitions. If the uplink TCI state indicated by the TCI field is TCI1' or is changed from TCI1 and TCI2 to TCI1', the terminal device determines that TCI1' is associated with the first SRS resource set, and the terminal device performs transmission with all PUSCH repetitions. The uplink beam direction is determined based on TCI1', all PUSCH repetitions are associated with the first SRS resource set, and the terminal device transmits PUSCH of Type 1 configured grant using the first parameter and the second parameter. Here, the first parameter is associated with a first SRS resource set, and the first parameter includes at least one of "srs-ResourceIndicator" and "precodingAndNumberOfLayers". The second parameter is determined based on TCI1', and the second parameter includes at least one of a target received power, a path loss compensation factor, a path loss reference signal, and a closed loop index. When one SRS resource set is associated with one TCI state, the uplink PUSCH is associated with one SRS resource set, which corresponds to the PUSCH being associated with one uplink TCI state.

[0145] In some embodiments, when the TCI field of DCI format 1_1 or DCI format 1_2 indicates one uplink TCI state, the terminal device determines one SRS resource set. The terminal device transmits some PUSCH repetitions, where some PUSCH repetitions are associated with the determined SRS resource set. For example, when two SRS resource sets are configured for the terminal device and the TCI field of DCI format 1_1 or DCI format 1_2 indicates two uplink TCI states, for PUSCH transmission based on PUSCH repetitions, the terminal device determines a first PUSCH repetition and a second PUSCH repetition associated with a first SRS resource set and a second SRS resource set, respectively. If the TCI field of DCI format 1_1 or DCI format 1_2 indicates one uplink TCI state, it is assumed that the terminal device determines that the SRS resource set is a first SRS resource set, and the terminal device transmits only the first PUSCH repetition, where the first PUSCH repetition is associated with the first SRS resource set.

[0146] An exemplary description will be given with reference to Fig. 13. Fig. 13 is a schematic diagram of another example of PUSCH repetitive transmission according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0147] Description of the same content as in Fig. 12 will be omitted. The difference from Fig. 12 is that the terminal device performs transmission only in the first PUSCH repetition associated with the first SRS resource set.

[0148] In some embodiments, when the TCI field of DCI format 1_1 or DCI format 1_2 indicates one uplink TCI state, the terminal device determines one SRS resource set associated with the one uplink TCI state and transmits only the SRS of the associated SRS resource set.

[0149] For example, two SRS resource sets are configured for a terminal device, and the terminal device transmits two periodic SRSs (or semi-persistent SRSs), where the two SRSs belong to the two SRS resource sets, respectively. If the TCI field of DCI format 1_1 or DCI format 1_2 indicates two uplink TCI states, the terminal device transmits two SRSs. If the TCI field of DCI format 1_1 or DCI format 1_2 indicates one uplink TCI state, it is assumed that the terminal device determines that the SRS resource set is a first SRS resource set, and the terminal device transmits only the SRS that belongs to the first SRS resource set and does not transmit the SRS that belongs to the second SRS resource set. The above SRS may be an SRS for codebook-based uplink transmission, non-codebook-based uplink transmission, or antenna switching. The reason for this is that when the mTRP is switched to the sTRP, for the TRP where no data transmission is occurring, the terminal device does not need to transmit SRS, i.e., does not need to provide channel measurements for that purpose, thereby reducing the overhead of the uplink reference signal and avoiding interference with other devices.

[0150] The above embodiments are merely illustrative of the present invention, and the present invention is not limited thereto, and appropriate modifications may be made based on the above embodiments. For example, each of the above embodiments may be used alone, or one or more of the above embodiments may be used in combination.

[0151] According to this embodiment, a terminal device receives TCI state indication information, the TCI state indication information indicating at least one TCI state, determines an SRS resource set associated with the TCI state in a plurality of SRS resource sets, and transmits an uplink signal using a parameter associated with the SRS resource set associated with the TCI state and / or a parameter associated with the TCI state. This can avoid ambiguity about which TRP the terminal device uses uplink transmission parameters, and ensures the throughput or reliability of uplink transmission by the terminal device using appropriate uplink transmission parameters to perform uplink transmission.
