Abstract

A method and a device in a User Equipment (UE) and a base station are provided for wireless communication. The UE receives a target radio signal in a first frequency-domain resource, transmits a first radio signal, monitors a second radio signal in a first time window, and monitors a third radio signal in a first time-domain resource in the first frequency-domain resource. A channel measurement for the target radio signal is used for triggering a transmission of the first radio signal; the first radio signal is used for determining a multiantenna related transmission of the third radio signal; the first radio signal is related to a multiantenna related reception of the third radio signal; the second radio signal is used for determining the first time-domain resource, or, the second radio signal is used for determining that the first radio signal is correctly received.

Claims (44)

1 . A method performed by a User Equipment (UE), the method comprising:

receiving a channel state information reference signal (CSI-RS) in a first frequency-domain resource;

transmitting an uplink transmission including a beam recovery request based on a channel measurement of the CSI-RS;

monitoring for a first physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) within a first time window, wherein the first PDCCH includes Downlink Control Information (DCI); and

monitoring for a second PDCCH within a first time-domain resource that is in the frequency-domain resource.

2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein a start of the first time window is a time-domain resource where the uplink transmission is located plus a first offset; or, if the first PDCCH is correctly received, an offset between a start of the first time-domain resource and a time-domain resource occupied by the first PDCCH is configured by default.

3 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

receiving a first signaling; wherein the first signaling is a higher-layer signaling and the first signaling is used for determining a length of the first time window.

4 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

on a condition that the first PDCCH is not received, retransmitting the uplink transmission including the beam recovery request; and

monitoring for the first PDCCH in a second time window.

5 . A method performed by a base station (BS), the method comprising:

transmitting a channel state information reference signal (CSI-RS) in a frequency-domain resource;

receiving an uplink transmission including a beam recovery request;

transmitting a first physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) within a first time window, wherein the first PDCCH includes Downlink Control Information (DCI); and

transmitting a second PDCCH in a first time-domain resource in the frequency-domain resource.

6 . The method of claim 5 , wherein a start of the first time window is a time-domain resource where the uplink transmission is located plus a first offset; or, if the first PDCCH is correctly received, an offset between a start of the first time-domain resource and a time-domain resource occupied by the first PDCCH is configured by default.

7 . The method of claim 5 , further comprising:

transmitting a first signaling; wherein the first signaling is a higher-layer signaling, and the first signaling is used for determining a length of the first time window.

8 . The method of claim 5 , further comprising:

receiving a retransmission of the uplink transmission including the beam recovery request; and

transmitting the first PDCCH in a second time window.

9 . A user equipment (UE), comprising:

a transceiver; and

a processor;

wherein the transceiver and processor are configured to:

receive a channel state information reference signal (CSI-RS) in a frequency-domain resource;

transmit an uplink transmission including a beam recovery request based on a channel measurement of the CSI-RS;

monitor for a first physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) in a first time window, wherein the first PDCCH includes Downlink Control Information (DCI); and

monitor for a second PDCCH within a first time-domain resource that is in the frequency-domain resource.

10 . The UE of claim 9 , wherein a start of the first time window is a time-domain resource where the uplink transmission is located plus a first offset; or, if the first PDCCH is correctly received, an offset between a start of the first time-domain resource and a time-domain resource occupied by the first PDCCH is configured by default.

11 . The UE of claim 9 , wherein the transceiver and the processor are further configured to:

receive a first signaling; wherein the first signaling is a higher-layer signaling, and the first signaling is used for determining a length of a first time window.

12 . The UE of claim 9 , wherein the transceiver and processor are further configured to:

on a condition that the first PDCCH is not received, retransmitting uplink transmission including the beam recovery request; and

monitoring for the first PDCCH in a second time window.

13 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the uplink transmission includes a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH).

14 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the frequency-domain resource is deployed on unlicensed spectrum, and the uplink transmission is transmitted on licensed spectrum.

15 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the monitoring for the first PDCCH comprises blind decoding.

16 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the first PDCCH includes a first physical layer signaling marked by a Common Control Radio Network Temporary Identity (CC-RNTI).

17 . The UE of claim 9 , wherein the uplink transmission includes a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH).

18 . The UE of claim 9 , wherein the frequency-domain resource is deployed on unlicensed spectrum, and the uplink transmission is transmitted on licensed spectrum.

19 . The UE of claim 9 , wherein the monitoring for the first PDCCH comprises blind decoding.

20 . The UE of claim 9 , wherein the first PDCCH includes a first physical layer signaling marked by a Common Control Radio Network Temporary Identity (CC-RNTI).
