Abstract

A method and apparatus for information reporting as well as a method and apparatus for information transmission are provided. The method for information reporting includes: receiving, by a second communication node, a reference signal from a first communication node, to determine a reference signal-related index and/or channel state information; reporting, by the second communication node, a set to the first communication node, and the set includes at least one of: the reference signal-related index and the channel state information. This technical solution solves the problems of low flexibility and poor adaptability of beam-related information reporting in the related art; the second communication node reports its own capability, so that the first communication node can indicate a beam reporting that meets to user capability, thereby improving the stability of beam-related information reporting.

Claims (36)

1. A method for information transmission, comprising:

transmitting, by a second communication node, a capability of the second communication node for a Sounding Reference Signal (SRS) transmission to a first communication node, wherein the capability indicates a maximum number of sounding reference signal resources to be used simultaneously for the SRS transmission supported by the second communication node;

wherein sounding reference signal resources for the SRS transmission are organized in one or more sets, and the method further comprising:

performing, by the second communication node, the SRS transmission without simultaneously using different sounding reference signal resources in different sets.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein no more than P different reference signal resources in a set of reference signal resources are to be transmitted simultaneously, and wherein P is an integer greater than or equal to 1, the method further comprising:

notifying, by the second communication node, the first communication node of P.

3. A method for information reporting, comprising:

receiving, by a first communication node, a capability for a Sounding Reference Signal (SRS) transmission reported by a second communication node, wherein the capability indicates a maximum number of sounding reference signal resources to be used simultaneously for the SRS transmission supported by the second communication node,

wherein sounding reference signal resources for the SRS transmission are organized in one or more sets, and

wherein the second communication node performs the SRS transmission without simultaneously using different sounding reference signal resources in different sets.

4. The method of claim 3 , wherein no more than P different reference signal resources in a set of reference signal resources are to be transmitted simultaneously, and wherein P is an integer greater than or equal to 1, the method further comprising:

receiving, by the first communication node, a notification of P from the second communication node.

5. An apparatus for information transmission comprising a processor configured to transmit a capability for a Sounding Reference Signal (SRS) transmission to a first communication node, wherein the capability indicates a maximum number of sounding reference signal resources to be used simultaneously for the SRS transmission supported by the apparatus,

wherein sounding reference signal resources for the SRS transmission are organized in one or more sets, and

wherein the processor is further configured to perform the SRS transmission without simultaneously using different sounding reference signal resources in different sets.

6. The apparatus of claim 5 , wherein no more than P different reference signal resources in a set of reference signal resources are to be transmitted simultaneously, and wherein P is an integer greater than or equal to 1, wherein the processor is configured to notify the first communication node of P.

7. An apparatus for information reporting comprising a processor configured to receive a capability for a Sounding Reference Signal (SRS) transmission reported by a second communication node, wherein the capability indicates a maximum number of sounding reference signal resources to be used simultaneously for the SRS transmission supported by the second communication node,

wherein sounding reference signal resources for the SRS transmission are organized in one or more sets, and

wherein the second communication node performs the SRS transmission without simultaneously using different sounding reference signal resources in different sets.

8. The apparatus of claim 7 , wherein no more than P different reference signal resources in a set of reference signal resources are to be transmitted simultaneously, and wherein P is an integer greater than or equal to 1, and wherein the processor is configured to receive a notification of P from the second communication node.

9. A method for information transmission, comprising:

transmitting, by a second communication node, a capability of the second communication node for a Sounding Reference Signal (SRS) transmission to a first communication node,

wherein the capability indicates a maximum number of reference signal resources to be used simultaneously for the SRS transmission and a maximum number of reference signal resources.

10. The method of claim 9 , wherein no more than P different reference signal resources in a set of reference signal resources are to be transmitted simultaneously, and wherein P is an integer greater than or equal to 1, the method further comprising:

notifying, by the second communication node, the first communication node of P.

11. A method for information reporting, comprising:

receiving, by a first communication node, a capability for a Sounding Reference Signal (SRS) transmission reported by a second communication node,

wherein the capability indicates a maximum number of reference signal resources to be used simultaneously for the SRS transmission and a maximum number of reference signal resources.

12. The method of claim 11 , wherein no more than P different reference signal resources in a set are to be transmitted simultaneously, wherein P is an integer greater than or equal to 1, wherein the method further comprising:

receiving, by the first communication node, a notification of P from the second communication node.

13. An apparatus for information transmission, comprising a processor configured to transmit a capability for a Sounding Reference Signal (SRS) transmission to a first communication node,

wherein the capability indicates a maximum number of reference signal resources to be used simultaneously for the SRS transmission and a maximum number of reference signal resources.

14. The apparatus of claim 13 , wherein no more than P different reference signal resources in a set are to be transmitted simultaneously, wherein P is an integer greater than or equal to 1, and wherein the processor is further configured to notify the first communication node of P.

15. An apparatus for information reporting, comprising a processor configured to receive a capability for a Sounding Reference Signal (SRS) transmission reported by a second communication node,

wherein the capability indicates a maximum number of reference signal resources to be used simultaneously for the SRS transmission and a maximum number of reference signal resources.

16. The apparatus of claim 15 , wherein no more than P different reference signal resources in a set are to be transmitted simultaneously, wherein P is an integer greater than or equal to 1, and wherein the processor is further configured to receive a notification of P from the second communication node.
