Abstract

A wireless communication apparatus, configured in a terminal equipment, the terminal equipment being related to at least two transmission and reception points (TRPs), includes a monitor configured to monitor second downlink control information according to an antenna port quasi-collocation (QCL) parameter the same as an antenna port QCL parameter associated with a first reference signal after the terminal equipment receives first downlink control information associated with beam failure or link failure, wherein, the first reference signal is associated with a first TRP in the at least two TRPs, a TRP associated with the second downlink control information is identical to the first TRP associated with the first reference signal, and the first reference signal is identified from at least one reference signal for beam recovery.

Claims (50)

1 . A wireless communication apparatus, configured in a terminal equipment, the terminal equipment being related to at least two transmission and reception points (TRPs), the apparatus comprising:

a monitor configured to monitor second downlink control information according to an antenna port quasi-collocation (QCL) parameter the same as an antenna port QCL parameter associated with a first reference signal after the terminal equipment receives first downlink control information associated with beam failure or link failure, wherein,

the first reference signal is associated with a first TRP in the at least two TRPs,

a TRP associated with the second downlink control information is identical to the first TRP associated with the first reference signal, and

the first reference signal is identified from at least one reference signal for beam recovery; and

a transmitter configured to transmit second information to a network device before receiving the first downlink control information, the second information being associated with an index of the first reference signal and/or an index of a TRP associated with the first reference signal.

2 . The apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein that the first reference signal is associated with the first TRP is indicated via radio resource control (RRC) signaling.

3 . The apparatus according to claim 2 , wherein the RRC signaling indicates an identifier (ID) of a TRP corresponding to the first reference signal.

4 . The apparatus according to claim 2 , wherein the RRC signaling is RRC signaling for indicating the first TRP.

5 . The apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein that the first reference signal is identified from at least one reference signal for beam recovery refers to that:

the first reference signal is identified from a candidate beam reference signal associated with the first TRP in a candidate beam reference signal list.

6 . The apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein that the first reference signal is identified from at least one reference signal for beam recovery refers to that:

the first reference signal is identified from a candidate beam reference signal list for the first TRP.

7 . The apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein that the terminal equipment is related to at least two TRPs refers to that:
