Abstract

Provided are a signaling sending method and device and a signaling receiving method and device. The signaling sending method includes: configuring N sets according to reference-signal-related information satisfying a predetermined channel characteristic requirement, where N is an integer greater than or equal to 1, and an element in the N sets is the reference-signal-related information; generating a first type of signaling, where the first type of signaling carries the N sets; and sending the first type of signaling to a second communication node, where the first type of signaling is used for notifying the second communication node to perform beam indication according to the N sets.

Claims (52)

1. A signaling sending method, comprising:

configuring a number of sets to include reference signal related information,

wherein each of the number of sets includes one or more reference signal indexes that satisfy a respective quasi co-location (QCL) relationship associated with one set of the number of sets;

generating a first type of signaling that includes the number of sets;

sending, to a communication node, the first type of signaling;

sending a second type of signaling to the communication node, wherein the second type of signaling includes an indication of a second number of sets to be activated or deactivated by the communication node, wherein the second number of sets belong to the number of sets;

reconfiguring, after sending the first type of signaling to the communication node, the number of sets, wherein reconfiguring the number of sets comprises at least one of: adding a set to the number of sets, or deleting a specified set in the number of sets; and

sending a third type of signaling to the communication node, wherein the third type of signaling includes the reconfigured number of sets.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the second number of sets belong to the reconfigured number of sets.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the second number of sets include channel measurement sets or interfering sets.

4. A signaling receiving method, comprising

receiving a first type of signaling sent by a communication node, wherein the first type of signaling includes a number of sets configured to include reference signal related information,

wherein each of the number of sets includes one or more reference signal indexes that satisfy a respective quasi co-location (QCL) relationship associated with one set of the number of sets;

receiving a second type of signaling that includes an indication of a second number of sets, wherein the second number of sets belong to the number of sets;

receiving, after receiving the first type of signaling sent by the communication node, a third type of signaling sent by the communication node,

wherein the third type of signaling includes a reconfigured number of sets,

wherein the reconfigured number of sets are based on a reconfiguration of the number of sets; and

activating or deactivating the second number of sets based on the second type of signaling.

5. The method of claim 4 , wherein the second number of sets belong to the reconfigured number of sets.

6. The method of claim 4 , wherein activating the second number of sets comprises at least one of:

activating the second number of sets for activated channel measurement sets; or

activating the second number of sets for activated interfering sets.

7. The method of claim 4 , wherein deactivating the second number of sets comprises at least one of:

deactivating the second number of sets for deactivated channel measurement sets; or

deactivating the second number of sets for deactivated interfering sets.

8. A signaling sending device, comprising:

a processor configured to:

configure a number of sets to include reference signal related information,

wherein each of the number of sets includes one or more reference signal indexes that satisfy a respective quasi co-location (QCL) relationship associated with one set of the number of sets;

generate a first type of signaling that includes the number of sets;

send, to a communication node, the first type of signaling;

send a second type of signaling to the communication node, wherein the second type of signaling includes an indication of a second number of sets to be activated or deactivated by the communication node, wherein the second number of sets belong to the number of sets;

reconfigure, after the first type of signaling is sent to the communication node, the number of sets, wherein the processor is configured to reconfigure the number of sets by being configured to perform at least one of: add a set to the number of sets, or delete a specified set in the number of sets; and

send a third type of signaling to the communication node, wherein the third type of signaling includes the reconfigured number of sets.

9. The signaling receiving device of claim 8 , wherein the second number of sets belong to the reconfigured number of sets.

10. The signaling sending device of claim 8 , wherein the second number of sets include channel measurement sets or interfering sets.

11. A signaling receiving device, comprising:

a processor configured to:

receive a first type of signaling sent by a communication node, wherein the first type of signaling includes a number of sets configured to include reference signal related information,

wherein each of the number of sets includes one or more reference signal indexes that satisfy a respective quasi co-location (QCL) relationship associated with one set of the number of sets;

receive a second type of signaling that includes an indication of a second number of sets, wherein the second number of sets belong to the number of sets;

receive, after the first type of signaling sent by the communication node is received, a third type of signaling sent by the communication node,

wherein the third type of signaling includes a reconfigured number of sets,

wherein the reconfigured number of sets are based on a reconfiguration of the number of sets; and

activate or deactivate the second number of sets based on the second type of signaling.

12. The signaling receiving device of claim 11 , wherein the second number of sets belong to the reconfigured number of sets.

13. The signaling receiving device of claim 11 , wherein the processor is configured to activate the second number of sets by being configured to perform at least one of:

activate the second number of sets for activated channel measurement sets; or

activate the second number of sets for activated interfering sets.

14. The signaling receiving device of claim 11 , wherein the processor is configured to deactivate the second number of sets by being configured to perform at least one of:

deactivate the second number of sets for deactivated channel measurement sets; or

deactivate the second number of sets for deactivated interfering sets.
