Abstract

Provided are a large-scale property parameter measurement method and apparatus, a node and a storage medium. The large-scale property parameter measurement method includes acquiring indication information which includes quasi co-location (QCL) association information and first time window information and measuring a large-scale property parameter of a first reference signal according to the indication information.

Claims (48)

1 . A large-scale property parameter measurement method, applied to a first node and comprising:

acquiring indication information;

wherein the indication information comprises quasi co-location (QCL) association information and first time window information; and

measuring a large-scale property parameter of a first reference signal according to the indication information;

wherein the first time window information comprises a first time reference point and a first window length;

wherein the first window length comprises a differently configured window length;

wherein the first time reference point comprises a time point at which signaling indicating that the first reference signal has a QCL relationship with a second reference signal is received, or the first time reference point comprises a time point at which a large-scale property parameter of a second reference signal is determined; and

wherein measuring the large-scale property parameter of the first reference signal according to the indication information comprises: measuring the large-scale property parameter of the first reference signal according to a time domain portion during which a time domain interval occupied by the first reference signal coincides with a time range designated by the first time window information.

2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the QCL association information comprises a QCL type and the first reference signal which has a QCL relationship with the second reference signal;

wherein the QCL type comprises at least one of QCL type A, QCL type B, QCL type C, or QCL type D.

3 . The method of claim 2 , wherein the second reference signal comprises one of a demodulation reference signal (DMRS), a channel state information reference signal (CSI-RS), or a phase tracking reference signal (PTRS); and

the first reference signal comprises one of a synchronization signal/physical broadcast channel block (SSB), a CSI-RS, or a DMRS.

4 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the differently configured window length is in a functional relationship with at least one of following reference factors:

a large-scale property parameter, a QCL type, a function of the second reference signal, a function of the first reference signal, a periodic property of the first reference signal, or a periodic property of the second reference signal;

wherein the periodic property comprises being periodic or aperiodic.

5 . A large-scale property parameter measurement method, applied to a second node and comprising:

configuring indication information; and

sending the indication information;

wherein the indication information comprises quasi co-location (QCL) association information and first time window information:

wherein the first time window information comprises a first time reference point and a first window length;

wherein the first time reference point comprises a time point at which signaling indicating that a first reference signal has a QCL relationship with a second reference signal is received, or the first time reference point comprises a time point at which a large-scale property parameter of a second reference signal is determined;

wherein the first window length comprises a differently configured window length; and

wherein the indication information is used to indicate a first node to measure a large-scale property parameter of the first reference signal according to a time domain portion during which a time domain interval occupied by the first reference signal coincides with a time range designated by the first time window information.

6 . The method of claim 5 , wherein the QCL association information comprises a QCL type and the first reference signal which has a QCL relationship with the second reference signal;

wherein the QCL type comprises at least one of QCL type A, QCL type B, QCL type C, or QCL type D.

7 . The method of claim 6 , wherein the second reference signal comprises one of a demodulation reference signal (DMRS), a channel state information reference signal (CSI-RS), or a phase tracking reference signal (PTRS); and

the first reference signal comprises one of a synchronization signal/physical broadcast channel block (SSB), a CSI-RS, or a DMRS.

8 . The method of claim 5 , wherein the differently configured window length is in a functional relationship with at least one of following reference factors:

a large-scale property parameter, a QCL type, a function of the second reference signal, a function of the first reference signal, a periodic property of the first reference signal, or a periodic property of the second reference signal;

wherein the periodic property comprises being periodic or aperiodic.

9 . A communication node, comprising a processor, wherein the processor executes a computer program to perform the following steps:

acquiring indication information;

wherein the indication information comprises quasi co-location (QCL) association information and first time window information; and

measuring a large-scale property parameter of a first reference signal according to the indication information;

wherein the first time window information comprises a first time reference point and a first window length;

wherein the first window length comprises a differently configured window length:

wherein the first time reference point comprises a time point at which signaling indicating that the first reference signal has a QCL relationship with a second reference signal is received, or the first time reference point comprises a time point at which a large-scale property parameter of a second reference signal is determined; and

wherein measuring the large-scale property parameter of the first reference signal according to the indication information comprises: measuring the large-scale property parameter of the first reference signal according to a time domain portion during which a time domain interval occupied by the first reference signal coincides with a time range designated by the first time window information.

10 . The communication node of claim 9 , wherein the QCL association information comprises a QCL type and the first reference signal which has a QCL relationship with the second reference signal;

wherein the QCL type comprises at least one of QCL type A, QCL type B, QCL type C, or QCL type D.

11 . The communication node of claim 10 , wherein the second reference signal comprises one of a demodulation reference signal (DMRS), a channel state information reference signal (CSI-RS), or a phase tracking reference signal (PTRS); and

the first reference signal comprises one of a synchronization signal/physical broadcast channel block (SSB), a CSI-RS, or a DMRS.

12 . The communication node of claim 9 , wherein the differently configured window length is in a functional relationship with at least one of following reference factors:

a large-scale property parameter, a QCL type, a function of the second reference signal, a function of the first reference signal, a periodic property of the first reference signal, or a periodic property of the second reference signal;

wherein the periodic property comprises being periodic or aperiodic.

13 . A non-transitory read-write storage medium, storing a computer program, wherein a processor executes the computer program to perform the large-scale property parameter measurement method of claim 1 .
