Abstract

A beam configuration method is performed by a terminal, and includes: determining one or more transmission configuration indication (TCI) states of a control resource set (CORESET); wherein one or more reference signal resources indicated by the one or more TCI states are associated with at least one of: a serving cell of the terminal; or a neighboring cell of the terminal.

6 . The method of claim 5 , further comprising:

detecting that a beam failure has occurred at a first transmission and reception point (TRP),

determining the first reference signal resource as the target new beam reference signal resource, and

reporting an identifier corresponding to the target new beam reference signal resource.

7 . The method of claim 6 , wherein,

the first reference signal resource is associated with a third TRP, wherein the third TRP is a TRP other than the first TRP and the second TRP that are configured to perform transmission with the UE.

8 . A user equipment (UE), comprising:

a processor; and

a memory for storing instructions executable by the processor;

wherein the processor is configured to: determine one or more transmission configuration indication (TCI) states of a control resource set (CORESET) based on downlink control information (DCI);

wherein one or more reference signal resources indicated by the one or more TCI states are associated with at least one of:

a serving cell of the UE; or and

a non-serving cell of the UE,

wherein the CORESET comprises at least one of a CORESET with index 0 or a CORESET other than a CORESET with index 0,

in a case that the CORESET is the CORESET with index 0, the one or more reference signal resources indicated by the one or more TCI states are associated with the serving cell of the UE, or the one or more reference signal resources indicated by the one or more TCI states are associated with at least one of the serving cell of the UE and the non-serving cell of the UE;

in a case that the CORESET is a CORESET other than a CORESET with index 0, the one or more reference signal resources indicated by the one or more TCI states are associated with at least one of the serving cell of the UE and the non-serving cell of the UE.

9 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the UE is configured to perform transmission with a plurality of transmission and reception points (TRPs), the plurality of TRPs comprise a TRP of the serving cell of the UE and TRPs of the non-serving cell of the UE, and the one or more reference signal resources indicated by the one or more TCI states are associated with at least one of one or more TRPs of the serving cell of the UE or one or more TRPs of the non-serving cell of the UE.

10 . A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium, having instructions stored thereon, wherein when the instructions are executed by a processor of a user equipment (UE), the UE is caused to perform the beam configuration method of claim 1 .

11 . A method for beam configuration, performed by a network device, comprising:

configuring one or more transmission configuration indication (TCI) states of a control resource set (CORESET) for a user equipment (UE) based on downlink control information (DCI);
