Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application belongs to the field of communication technologies, and specifically relates to a method for determining beam application time, a terminal, and a network-side device.

Background Art

[0002] In a multi-carrier scenario, the network can indicate a common transmission configuration indicator state (TCI state) by a media access control (MAC) control element (CE) or downlink control information (DCI). This TCI state indicates a common beam information, and this common beam may be used for multiple channel transmissions on multi-carriers.

[0003] However, since the subcarrier spacings (SCS) of different component carriers (CCs) and different bandwidth parts (BWPs) on different CCs are all different, the beam application times (BATs) for the common beam of each CC or each BWP of each CC are all different. Therefore, how to determine the BAT on each CC or each BWP of each CC in a set of CCs is an important issue that urgently needs to be solved in the current industry.

[0022] In the following, the method for determining the beam application time according to the embodiments of the present application will be described in detail with reference to several embodiments and their application scenarios while combining the drawings.

[0023] The embodiments of the present application provide a method for determining the beam application time. This method can be applied to the carrier aggregation scenario. When the network-side device indicates a common beam and the common beam is used for at least one set of CCs, the terminal determines the beam application time for each CC or each BWP on each CC in at least one set of CCs to apply the common beam based on the configuration parameters configured by the network-side device, so that the understanding of the beam activation time for each CC / BWP to apply the common beam by the network-side device and the terminal is consistent, ensuring beam alignment and correct data transmission.

[0024] FIG. 2 is one of the flowcharts of the method for determining the beam application time according to the embodiments of the present application. As shown in FIG. 2, this method includes the following steps.

[0025] In step 201, receive first configuration information sent by a network-side device, where the first configuration information includes a plurality of configuration parameters, and each configuration parameter corresponds to at least one target resource object respectively, and the target resource object is determined based on at least one resource object list.

[0026] It should be noted that the execution entity of the method for determining the beam application time shown in FIG. 2 may be a terminal, or may be a device for determining the beam application time, or may be a control module for executing the method for determining the beam application time in this device for determining the beam application time.

[0027] Optionally, in order for the network-side device and the terminal to have the same understanding of the beam activation time when each CC / BWP applies a common beam, the network-side device first obtains first configuration information, where the first configuration information includes a plurality of configuration parameters, and each configuration parameter corresponds to at least one target resource object respectively, and the target resource object is determined based on at least one resource object list, and the network-side device sends the first configuration information to the terminal. The terminal receives the first configuration information sent by the network-side device, and the terminal obtains the plurality of configuration parameters included in the first configuration information by analyzing the first configuration information, and each configuration parameter corresponds to at least one target resource object respectively, and the target resource object is determined based on at least one resource object list.

[0028] Optionally, the target resource object is a CC or a BWP on a CC. The resource object list is, for example, a CC list, a CC group, a CC set, etc. When the target resource object is a CC, each of the configuration parameters corresponds to a plurality of CCs respectively. When the target resource object is a BWP on a CC, each of the configuration parameters corresponds to a plurality of BWPs on each CC respectively. Optionally, the network-side device constitutes at least one CC list, each CC list contains at least one CC, each CC contains at least one BWP, and each BWP has its own SCS respectively.

[0029] In step 202, based on the configuration parameters, determine the beam application time for each target resource object to apply the common beam indicated by the network-side device.

[0030] Optionally, in a multi-carrier scenario, the network-side device may send a first message indicating the common beam to the terminal, whereby this common beam is used to determine the common quasi-collocation (QCL) information and / or the common uplink transmission (UL Tx) spatial filter information of at least one set of CCs or each BWP on each CC. The terminal determines the beam application time for each target resource object to apply the common beam based on the configuration parameters obtained in step 201.

[0031] Optionally, the first message may be one piece of TCI state information, such as a TCI state ID in a MAC CE or DCI command, and may be used to determine beam information for a plurality of channels. Optionally, the beam information may include at least one of beam identifier information, spatial relation information, spatial domain transmission filter information, spatial domain reception filter information, spatial filter information, TCI state information, QCL information, and QCL parameters. Here, the downlink beam information may generally be represented by TCI state information or QCL information, and the uplink beam information may generally be represented by TCI state information or spatial relation information.

[0032] Optionally, the dimension (unit) of the configuration parameter may be any one of the number of symbols, the number of slots, seconds, and milliseconds.

[0033] It should be noted that the embodiments of the present application do not limit the order between the execution time when the network-side device sends the first configuration information to the terminal and the execution time when the network-side device sends the first message to the terminal.

[0034] In the method for determining the beam application time according to the embodiments of the present application, in a carrier aggregation scenario where the network-side device instructs a common beam and the common beam is used for at least one set of CCs, the terminal determines, based on the configuration parameters configured by the network-side device, the beam application time when each CC or each BWP on each CC in at least one set of CCs applies the common beam, so that the understanding of the beam activation time when each CC / BWP applies the common beam by the network-side device and the terminal is consistent, ensuring beam alignment and correct data transmission.

[0035] Optionally, each configuration parameter constituted by the network-side device is carried by the configuration information of the resource target list in Method 1, carried by the configuration information of at least one CC in Method 2, carried by the configuration information of at least one BWP on at least one CC in Method 3, carried by the configuration information of the target cell where the uplink control channel is located in Method 4, or carried by the configuration information of the target BWP of the target cell where the uplink control channel is located in Method 5, and is carried by any one or a combination of these methods, and each of the above methods will be described as follows.

[0036] The description of Method 1 is as follows. The network-side device carries each configuration parameter in the configuration information of the resource target list issued to the terminal. After the terminal analyzes the configuration information to obtain each configuration parameter, the terminal determines the beam application time when each target resource target applies the common beam indicated by the network-side device based on the configuration parameter.

[0037] Optionally, based on Method 1, the implementation method of "determining the beam application time when each target resource target applies the common beam indicated by the network-side device based on the configuration parameter" in step 202 may include any one of the following methods.

[0038] In Mode 1a, when the target resource object is CC and each configuration parameter is carried by the configuration information of the resource object list, the configuration parameter may be the configuration parameter corresponding to the target cell where the uplink control channel is located for all CCs, or the configuration parameter corresponding to the BWP on the target cell where the uplink control channel is located for all CCs. Optionally, the uplink control channel, for example, the Physical Uplink Control Channel (PUCCH), is used to carry an acknowledgement (ACK), and this ACK is the ACK of the command (such as MAC CE or DCI) used by the network-side device to transmit the first message. Optionally, the target cell where the uplink control channel is located may be the primary cell in which the PUCCH resource is configured, or a secondary cell in which the PUCCH resource is configured. Optionally, the BWP on the target cell where the uplink control channel is located may be the BWP on the primary cell or a certain secondary cell in which the PUCCH resource is configured. Based on this, the implementation method of "determining the beam application time for each target resource object to apply the common beam indicated by the network-side device based on the configuration parameter" in step 202 may include determining the beam application time for all CCs in the resource object list to apply the common beam based on the configuration parameter corresponding to the target cell where the uplink control channel is located for all CCs included in the configuration information of the resource object list, or the configuration parameter corresponding to the BWP on the target cell where the uplink control channel is located for all CCs.

[0039] Alternatively, when the target resource object is a BWP on a CC and each configuration parameter is carried by the configuration information of the resource object list, the configuration parameter may be the configuration parameter corresponding to the target cell where the uplink control channel is located for all BWPs on all CCs, or the configuration parameter corresponding to the BWP on the target cell where the uplink control channel is located for all BWPs on all CCs. Based on this, the implementation method of "determining the beam application time for applying the common beam indicated by the network-side device to each target resource object based on the configuration parameter" in step 202 may include determining the beam application time for applying the common beam to all BWPs on all CCs in the resource object list based on the configuration parameter corresponding to the target cell where the uplink control channel is located for all BWPs on all CCs included in the configuration information of the resource object list, or the configuration parameter corresponding to the BWP on the target cell where the uplink control channel is located for all BWPs on all CCs.

[0040] In mode 1b, when the target resource object is CC and each configuration parameter is carried by the configuration information of the resource object list, the configuration parameter may be the configuration parameter corresponding to the target cell where the uplink control channel is located in the second reference CC, or the configuration parameter corresponding to the BWP on the target cell where the uplink control channel is located in the second reference CC. Based on this, the implementation method of "determining the beam application time for applying the common beam indicated by the network-side device to each target resource object based on the configuration parameter" in step 202 may include determining the beam application time for all CCs in the resource object list to apply the common beam based on the configuration parameter corresponding to the target cell where the uplink control channel is located in the second reference CC included in the configuration information of the resource object list, or the configuration parameter corresponding to the BWP on the target cell where the uplink control channel is located in the second reference CC. Optionally, the second reference CC may be one CC in the CC list.

[0041] For example, assuming that a set of CCs includes CC1, CC2, CC3, and CC4, and each CC includes one or more BWPs, the cells where the uplink control channel is located are cell1 and cell2. BWP5 - BWP8 are included on cell1, and BWP9 - BWP11 are included on cell2. Assuming that the second reference CC is CC2 and the target cell is cell1, the configuration parameter corresponding to cell1 where the uplink control channel of CC2 is located is T21. The configuration parameter corresponding to BWP5 on cell1 where the uplink control channel of CC2 is located is T215. The configuration parameter corresponding to BWP6 on cell1 where the uplink control channel of CC2 is located is T216. When configuring, the network - side device only configures the configuration parameter T21 corresponding to cell1 where the uplink control channel of CC2 is located, or the configuration parameter T215 corresponding to BWP5 on cell1 where the uplink control channel of CC2 is located, etc., and carries the configuration parameter to the configuration information of the resource target list. Then, based on only the fact that the configuration parameter corresponding to cell1 where the uplink control channel of CC2 is located is T21, or the configuration parameter corresponding to BWP5 on cell1 where the uplink control channel of CC2 is located is T215, etc., the terminal determines the beam application time when all CCs (i.e., CC1, CC2, CC3, and CC4) apply the common beam. Optionally, the selection method of the second reference CC may be specified by the network - side device, specified by the protocol, the CC corresponding to the maximum value in all configuration parameters, or a method such as each CC alternating in order.

[0042] Or, when the target resource object is a BWP on a CC and each configuration parameter is carried by the configuration information of the resource object list, the configuration parameter may be the configuration parameter corresponding to the target cell where the uplink control channel is located in the second reference BWP on the second reference CC, or the configuration parameter corresponding to the BWP on the target cell where the uplink control channel is located in the second reference BWP on the second reference CC. Based on this, the implementation method of "determining the beam application time for applying the common beam indicated by the network-side device to each target resource object based on the configuration parameter" in step 202 may include determining the beam application time for applying the common beam to all BWPs on all CCs in the resource object list based on the configuration parameter corresponding to the target cell where the uplink control channel is located in the second reference BWP on the second reference CC included in the configuration information of the resource object list, or the configuration parameter corresponding to the BWP on the target cell where the uplink control channel is located in the second reference BWP on the second reference CC. The selection method of the second reference BWP on the second reference CC may be a method such as being specified by the network-side device, being specified by the protocol, corresponding to the CC / BWP corresponding to the maximum value in all configuration parameters, or each CC / BWP alternating in sequence.

[0043] In Mode 1c, when the target resource object is CC and each configuration parameter is carried by the configuration information of the resource object list, the configuration parameter may be the configuration parameters of all CCs. Based on this, the implementation method of "determining the beam application time for each target resource object to apply the common beam indicated by the network-side device based on the configuration parameter" in step 202 may include determining the beam application time for all CCs in the resource object list to apply the common beam based on the configuration parameters of all CCs included in the configuration information of the resource object list.

[0044] Alternatively, when the target resource object is a BWP on a CC and each configuration parameter is carried by the configuration information of the resource object list, the configuration parameter may be the configuration parameters of all BWPs on all CCs. Based on this, the implementation method of "determining the beam application time for each target resource object to apply the common beam indicated by the network-side device based on the configuration parameter" in step 202 may include determining the beam application time for all BWPs on all CCs in the resource object list to apply the common beam based on the configuration parameters of all BWPs on all CCs included in the configuration information of the resource object list.

[0045] In Mode 1d, when the target resource object is CC and each configuration parameter is carried by the configuration information of the resource object list, the configuration parameter may be the configuration parameter of the third reference CC. Based on this, the implementation method of "determining the beam application time for each target resource object to apply the common beam indicated by the network-side device based on the configuration parameter" in step 202 may include determining the beam application time for all CCs in the resource object list to apply the common beam based on the configuration parameter of the third reference CC included in the configuration information of the resource object list. For example, assuming that a set of CCs includes CC1, CC2, CC3, and CC4, and each CC includes one or more BWPs, the network-side device configures the configuration parameter only for CC3 (assuming that CC3 is the third reference CC set in advance) during configuration, carries it in the configuration information of the resource object list, and the terminal determines the beam application time for all CCs (i.e., CC1, CC2, CC3, and CC4) to apply the common beam based only on the configuration parameter corresponding to CC3 carried in the configuration information of the resource object list. Optionally, the selection method of the third reference CC may be a method specified by the network-side device, specified by the protocol, the CC corresponding to the maximum value in all configuration parameters, or a method such as each CC alternating in turn.

[0046] Alternatively, when the target resource object is a BWP on a CC and each configuration parameter is carried by the configuration information of the resource object list, the configuration parameter may be the configuration parameter of a third reference BWP on a third reference CC. Based on this, the implementation method of "determining the beam application time for each target resource object to apply the common beam indicated by the network-side device based on the configuration parameter" in step 202 may include determining the beam application time for all BWPs on all CCs in the resource object list to apply the common beam based on the configuration parameter of the third reference BWP on the third reference CC included in the configuration information of the resource object list. For example, assuming that a set of CCs includes CC1, CC2, CC3, and CC4, and each CC includes one or more BWPs, the network-side device may configure configuration parameters only for BWP3 on CC3 (assuming that CC3 is the third reference CC set in advance and BWP3 is the third reference BWP set in advance) during configuration, carry it in the configuration information of the resource object list, and the terminal determines the beam application time for all BWPs on all CCs to apply the common beam based only on the configuration parameter corresponding to BWP3 on CC3. Optionally, the selection method of the third reference BWP on the third reference CC may be a method specified by the network-side device, specified by the protocol, corresponding to the CC / BWP corresponding to the maximum value in all configuration parameters, or the method that each CC / BWP alternates in order, etc.

[0047] In Method 2, it is carried by the configuration information of at least one CC.

[0048] Alternatively, the description of Method 2 is as follows. The network-side device carries each configuration parameter in the configuration information of each CC issued to the terminal. After the terminal analyzes the configuration information to obtain each configuration parameter, the terminal determines, based on the configuration parameter, the beam application time for each target resource object to apply the common beam indicated by the network-side device.

[0049] Based on Method 2, the implementation method of "determining, based on the configuration parameter, the beam application time for each target resource object to apply the common beam indicated by the network-side device" in step 202 may include any one of the following methods.

[0050] In Method 2a, when the target resource object is a CC and each configuration parameter is carried by the configuration information of at least one CC, the implementation method of "determining, based on the configuration parameter, the beam application time for each target resource object to apply the common beam indicated by the network-side device" in step 202 may include determining, based on the configuration parameter carried by the configuration information of each CC, the beam application time for the CC to apply the common beam. That is, the configuration parameter of this CC is carried in the configuration information of each CC.

[0051] In Mode 2b, when the target resource object is a CC and each configuration parameter is carried by the configuration information of at least one CC, the implementation method of "determining the beam application time for each target resource object to apply the common beam indicated by the network-side device based on the configuration parameter" in Step 202 may include determining the beam application time for the CC to apply the common beam based on the configuration parameter corresponding to the target cell where the uplink control channel is located for each CC carried by the configuration information of each CC. That is, the configuration parameter of this CC is carried in the configuration information of each CC, and this configuration parameter corresponds to the target cell where the uplink control channel is located.

[0052] In Mode 2c, when the target resource object is a BWP on a CC and each configuration parameter is carried by the configuration information of at least one CC, the implementation method of "determining the beam application time for each target resource object to apply the common beam indicated by the network-side device based on the configuration parameter" in Step 202 may include determining, based on a plurality of configuration parameters carried in the configuration information of each CC, the beam application time for each BWP on the CC to apply the common beam respectively. That is, each configuration parameter among the plurality of configuration parameters carried in the configuration information of each CC is a BWP used on this CC.

[0053] In Mode 2d, when the target resource object is a BWP on a CC and each configuration parameter is carried by the configuration information of at least one CC, the implementation method of "determining the beam application time for each target resource object to apply the common beam indicated by the network-side device based on the configuration parameters" in step 202 may include determining, based on a plurality of configuration parameters corresponding to the BWP of the target cell where the uplink control channel is located for each BWP on each CC carried by the configuration information of each CC, the beam application time for each BWP on the CC to apply the common beam. That is, a plurality of configuration parameters of this CC are carried in the configuration information of each CC, and at least one of the plurality of configuration parameters is a BWP used on this CC, and at least one configuration parameter of this BWP corresponds to the BWP of the target cell where the uplink control channel is located.

[0054] In Mode 3, it is carried by the configuration information of at least one BWP on at least one CC.

[0055] Optionally, the description of Mode 3 is as follows. The network-side device carries each configuration parameter in the configuration information of each BWP on each CC issued to the terminal. After the terminal analyzes the configuration information to obtain each configuration parameter, the terminal determines the beam application time for each target resource object to apply the common beam indicated by the network-side device based on the configuration parameters.

[0056] Based on Mode 3, the implementation method of "determining the beam application time for each target resource object to apply the common beam indicated by the network-side device based on the configuration parameters" in step 202 may include any one of the following methods.

That is, the configuration parameters of this BWP are carried in the configuration information of each BWP of each CC.

[0058] In Mode 3b, when the target resource object is a BWP on a CC and each configuration parameter is carried by the configuration information of at least one BWP on at least one CC, the implementation method of "determining the beam application time for each of the target resource objects to apply the common beam indicated by the network-side device based on the configuration parameters" in Step 202 may include determining the beam application time for each BWP on the CC to apply the common beam respectively based on the configuration parameters corresponding to the BWP of the target cell where the uplink control channel is located for each BWP carried in the configuration information of each BWP on each CC. That is, the configuration parameters of this BWP are carried in the configuration information of each BWP of each CC, and this configuration parameter corresponds to the BWP of the target cell where the uplink control channel is located.

[0059] Optionally, when multiple configuration parameters are carried in the configuration information of the CC, each configuration parameter may be set with an index corresponding to the target cell where each uplink control channel is located, or the BWP on the target cell where each uplink control channel is located, which makes it easy to establish the correspondence between the configuration parameter and the target cell or the BWP on the target cell. Alternatively, each configuration parameter corresponds to the target cell where each uplink control channel is located, or the BWP on the target cell where each uplink control channel is located, according to a preset order. For example, the preset order of the target cell or the BWP on the target cell is in ascending order of cell index or BWP ID, and the configuration parameters corresponding to the target cell or the BWP on the target cell are set according to this order, thereby saving signaling overhead.

[0060] In Mode 4, it is carried by the configuration information of the target cell where the uplink control channel is located.

[0061] Optionally, the description of Mode 4 is as follows. The network-side device carries each configuration parameter in the configuration information of the target cell where the uplink control channel issued to the terminal is located. After the terminal analyzes the configuration information to obtain each configuration parameter, the terminal determines the beam application time for each target resource object to apply the common beam indicated by the network-side device based on the configuration parameter. After the network-side device sends a first message for instructing the common beam to the terminal, the terminal sends an acknowledgement (ACK) message in response to the first message to the network-side device, and the uplink control channel is used to carry this ACK message.

[0062] Optionally, the implementation method of "determining the beam application time for each target resource object to apply the common beam indicated by the network-side device based on the configuration parameter" in step 202 may include any one of the following methods.

[0063] In mode 4a, only the configuration parameters corresponding to the first reference CC are carried according to the configuration information of the target cell where the uplink control channel is located. At this time, the target resource object is a CC, and when each configuration parameter is carried according to the configuration information of the target cell where the uplink control channel is located, the implementation method of "determining the beam application time for each target resource object to apply the common beam indicated by the network-side device based on the configuration parameters" in step 202 may include determining the beam application time for all CCs in the resource object list to apply the common beam based on the configuration parameters corresponding to the first reference CC included in the configuration information of the target cell where the uplink control channel is located. Here, the first reference CC is one CC in the CC list. For example, assuming that a set of CCs includes CC1, CC2, CC3, and CC4, and each CC includes one or more BWPs, the network-side device configures configuration parameters only for CC1 (assuming CC1 is the first reference CC) during configuration, carries them in the configuration information of the target cell where the uplink control channel is located, and the terminal determines the beam application time for all CCs (i.e., CC1, CC2, CC3, and CC4) to apply the common beam based only on the configuration parameters carried in the configuration information of CC1. Optionally, the selection method of the first reference CC may be a method specified by the network-side device, specified by the protocol, the CC corresponding to the maximum value among all configuration parameters, or a method where each CC alternates in order, etc.

[0064] In Mode 4b, the configuration parameters corresponding to all CCS are carried by the configuration information of the target cell where the uplink control channel is located. At this time, when the target resource object is a CC and each configuration parameter is carried by the configuration information of the target cell where the uplink control channel is located, the implementation method of "determining the beam application time for each target resource object to apply the common beam indicated by the network-side device based on the configuration parameters" in step 202 may include determining the beam application time for all CCS in the resource object list to apply the common beam based on the configuration parameters corresponding to all CCS included in the configuration information of the target cell where the uplink control channel is located.

[0065] In Mode 4c, the configuration information of the target cell where the uplink control channel is located carries only the configuration parameters of the first reference CC corresponding to the target cell where the uplink control channel is located. At this time, when the target resource object is a CC and each configuration parameter is carried by the configuration information of the target cell where the uplink control channel is located, the implementation method of "determining the beam application time for each target resource object to apply the common beam indicated by the network-side device based on the configuration parameters" in step 202 may include determining the beam application time for all CCS in the resource object list to apply the common beam based on the configuration parameters of the first reference CC included in the configuration information of the target cell where the uplink control channel is located and corresponding to the target cell where the uplink control channel is located.

[0066] In mode 4d, the configuration information of the target cell where the uplink control channel is located is used to carry the configuration parameters corresponding to all CCS for the target cell where the uplink control channel is located. At this time, when the target resource object is a CC and each configuration parameter is carried by the configuration information of the target cell where the uplink control channel is located, the implementation method of "determining the beam application time for each target resource object to apply the common beam indicated by the network-side device based on the configuration parameters" in step 202 may include determining the beam application time for all CCS in the resource object list to apply the common beam based on the configuration parameters corresponding to the target cell where the uplink control channel is located included in the configuration information of the target cell where the uplink control channel is located.

[0067] In mode 5, it is carried by the configuration information of the target BWP of the target cell where the uplink control channel is located.

[0068] Optionally, the description of mode 5 is as follows. The network-side device carries each configuration parameter in the configuration information of the target BWP of the target cell where the uplink control channel to be issued to the terminal is located. After the terminal analyzes the configuration information to obtain each configuration parameter, the terminal determines the beam application time for each target resource object to apply the common beam indicated by the network-side device based on the configuration parameters.

[0069] Based on mode 5, the implementation method of "determining the beam application time for each target resource object to apply the common beam indicated by the network-side device based on the configuration parameters" in step 202 may include any one of the following methods.

[0070] In mode 5a, only the configuration parameters corresponding to the first reference BWP on the first reference CC are carried according to the configuration information of the BWP of the target cell where the uplink control channel is located. At this time, the target resource object is the BWP on the CC, and when each configuration parameter is carried according to the configuration information of the BWP of the target cell where the uplink control channel is located, the implementation method of "determining the beam application time for each target resource object to apply the common beam indicated by the network device based on the configuration parameters" in step 202 may include determining the beam application time for all BWPs on all CCs in the resource object list to apply the common beam based on the configuration parameters corresponding to the first reference BWP on the first reference CC included in the configuration information of the BWP of the target cell where the uplink control channel is located. For example, assuming that a set of CCs includes CC1, CC2, CC3, and CC4, and each CC includes one or more BWPs, the network device configures configuration parameters only for BWP1 on CC1 (assuming that CC1 is the first reference CC and BWP1 is the first reference BWP on CC1) during configuration, carries it in the configuration information of the BWP of the target cell where the uplink control channel is located, and the terminal determines the beam application time for each BWP on all CCs (i.e., CC1, CC2, CC3, and CC4) to apply the common beam based only on the configuration parameters corresponding to BWP1 on CC1. Optionally, the selection method of the first reference BWP on the first reference CC may be a method specified by the network device, specified by the protocol, corresponding to the CC / BWP corresponding to the maximum value in all configuration parameters, or a method such as alternating each CC / BWP in order.

[0071] In mode 5b, the configuration parameters corresponding to all BWPs on all CCs are carried by the configuration information of the BWP of the target cell where the uplink control channel is located. At this time, when the target resource object is the BWP on the CC and each configuration parameter is carried by the configuration information of the BWP of the target cell where the uplink control channel is located, the implementation method of "determining the beam application time for each target resource object to apply the common beam indicated by the network-side device based on the configuration parameters" in step 202 may include determining the beam application time for all BWPs on all CCs in the resource object list to apply the common beam based on the configuration parameters corresponding to all BWPs on all CCs included in the configuration information of the BWP of the target cell where the uplink control channel is located.

[0072] In mode 5c, only the configuration parameters corresponding to the first reference BWP on the first reference CC and the BWP of the target cell where the uplink control channel is located are carried by the configuration information of the BWP of the target cell where the uplink control channel is located. At this time, when the target resource object is the BWP on the CC and each configuration parameter is carried by the configuration information of the BWP of the target cell where the uplink control channel is located, the implementation method of "determining the beam application time for each target resource object to apply the common beam indicated by the network-side device based on the configuration parameters" in step 202 may include determining the beam application time for all BWPs on all CCs in the resource object list to apply the common beam based on the configuration parameters corresponding to the first reference BWP on the first reference CC and the BWP of the target cell where the uplink control channel is located and included in the configuration information of the BWP of the target cell where the uplink control channel is located.

[0073] In mode 5d, the configuration information of the BWP of the target cell where the uplink control channel is located carries the configuration parameters corresponding to the BWP of all the CCs for all the BWPs on all the CCs, corresponding to the BWP of the target cell where the uplink control channel is located. At this time, when the target resource object is the BWP on the CC and each configuration parameter is carried by the configuration information of the BWP of the target cell where the uplink control channel is located, the implementation method of "determining the beam application time for each of the target resource objects to apply the common beam indicated by the network-side device based on the configuration parameters" in step 202 may include determining the beam application time for all the BWPs on all the CCs in the resource object list to apply the common beam based on the configuration parameters corresponding to the BWP of the target cell where the uplink control channel is located, included in the configuration information of the BWP of the target cell where the uplink control channel is located.

[0074] Optionally, at configuration time, the network-side device configures configuration parameters for each CC in a set of CCs or for each BWP on each CC, and correspondingly conveys them to the configuration information of each CC or each BWP on each CC. However, the terminal determines the beam application time when all CCs or all BWPs on all CCs apply the common beam only based on the configuration parameters conveyed to the configuration information of the first target CC in each CC or the first target BWP on the first target CC. Based on this, the implementation method of "determining the beam application time when each of the target resource objects applies the common beam indicated by the network-side device based on the configuration parameters" in step 202 may include obtaining the configuration parameters conveyed to the configuration information of the first target CC in each CC, and determining the beam application time when each CC applies the common beam based on the configuration parameters, or obtaining the configuration parameters conveyed to the configuration information of the first target BWP on the first target CC in each CC, and determining the beam application time when all BWPs on all CCs apply the common beam based on the configuration parameters. For example, assuming that a set of CCs includes CC1, CC2, CC3, and CC4, and each CC includes one or more BWPs, at configuration time, the network-side device configures configuration parameters for CC1, CC2, CC3, and CC4 or for each BWP on each CC, and correspondingly conveys them to the configuration information of each CC or each BWP on each CC. However, the terminal determines the beam application time when all CCs (i.e., CC1, CC2, CC3, and CC4) or all BWPs on all CCs apply the common beam only based on the configuration parameters conveyed to the configuration information of CC1 (assuming CC1 is the first target CC preset) or BWP1 on CC1 (assuming BWP1 is the first target BWP).Optionally, the selection method for the preset first target CC or the first target BWP on the first target CC may be a method such as being specified by the network-side device, being specified by the protocol, corresponding to the CC / BWP corresponding to the maximum value in all configuration parameters, or each CC / BWP alternating in order.

[0075] Optionally, at configuration time, the network-side device does not configure configuration parameters for each CC in a set of CCs or for each BWP on each CC, but may configure configuration parameters only for one fourth reference CC in each CC or only for one fourth reference BWP on one fourth reference CC, and the terminal determines the beam application time when all CCs or all BWPs on all CCs apply the common beam based only on the configuration parameters carried in the configuration information of the fourth reference CC or one fourth reference BWP on one fourth reference CC. Based on this, the implementation method of "determining the beam application time when each of the target resource objects applies the common beam indicated by the network-side device based on the configuration parameters" in step 202 may include determining the beam application time when all CCs apply the common beam based on the configuration parameters corresponding to the fourth reference CC, or determining the beam application time when all BWPs on all CCs apply the common beam based on the configuration parameters of the fourth reference BWP on the fourth reference CC. For example, assuming that a set of CCs includes CC1, CC2, CC3, and CC4, and each CC includes one or more BWPs, at configuration time, the network-side device configures configuration parameters only for CC4 (assuming that CC4 is the preset fourth reference CC) or BWP4 on CC4 (assuming that BWP4 is the fourth reference BWP), conveys it to the configuration information of CC4 or BWP4 on CC4, and the terminal determines the beam application time when all CCs (i.e., CC1, CC2, CC3, and CC4) or all BWPs on all CCs apply the common beam based only on the configuration parameters carried in the configuration information of CC4 or BWP4 on CC4.Optionally, the selection method of the fourth reference CC or the fourth reference BWP on the fourth reference CC may be a method specified by the network-side device, specified by the protocol, corresponding to the CC / BWP corresponding to the maximum value among all configuration parameters, or a method such as each CC / BWP alternating in order.

[0076] Optionally, when each CC belongs to one band, the implementation method of "determining the beam application time for each target resource object to apply the common beam indicated by the network-side device based on the configuration parameters" in step 202 may include selecting at least one target configuration parameter from all configuration parameters as the configuration parameter corresponding to each CC or each BWP on each CC. For example, the target configuration parameter may be the maximum value among all configuration parameters. Based on the configuration parameter corresponding to each CC or each BWP on each CC, determine the beam application time for each CC or each BWP on each CC to apply the common beam. For example, collectively set the maximum value among the configuration parameters corresponding to CC1, CC2, CC3, and CC4 (or each BWP on each CC) as the configuration parameter corresponding to each CC (or each BWP on each CC).

[0077] Optionally, the implementation method of "determining the beam application time for each target resource object to apply the common beam indicated by the network-side device based on the configuration parameters" in step 202 may include performing rounding calculation in slot units for the configuration parameters to obtain the beam application time for each target resource object to apply the common beam.

[0078] The description of the implementation method of this step is as follows.

[0079] Optionally, when the unit of the configuration parameter is the number of symbols, the first slot after Y symbols after the first time may be determined as the beam application time when each of the target resource objects applies the common beam, where the configuration parameter is Y, the first time is the time to send an ACK message in response to the first message, and the first message is a message for instructing a common beam sent by the network-side device. Alternatively, when the unit of the configuration parameter is the number of symbols, the slot where the Y-th symbol is located after the first time may be determined as the beam application time when each of the target resource objects applies the common beam. Alternatively, when the unit of the configuration parameter is the number of symbols, first calculate the remainder of dividing Y by the target value, round up or round down the remainder to calculate the result M, and determine the slot where the M-th symbol is located after the first time as the beam application time when each of the target resource objects applies the common beam.

[0080] Optionally, when the unit of the configuration parameter is the number of slots, the first slot after the Y-th slot after the first time, or the Y-th slot after the first time, is determined as the beam application time when each of the target resource objects applies the common beam.

[0081] Optionally, when the unit of the configuration parameter is seconds or milliseconds, the first slot after the Y-th unit after the first time, or the slot where the Y-th unit is located after the first time, is determined as the beam application time when each of the target resource objects applies the common beam.
