Abstract

The present disclosure relates to reference signal sending or receiving methods and systems, terminal devices, and access network devices. One example method includes sending, by a first device, first control information to a second device, where the first control information is used to indicate a first resource used by the first device to send a reference signal, and sending, by the first device, the reference signal to the second device on the first resource.

Claims (51)

1. A reference signal sending method, comprising:

receiving, by a first device, auxiliary information from a second device, wherein the auxiliary information comprises one or more of a speed, an acceleration, or a movement direction of the second device;

determining, by the first device, a first resource based on the auxiliary information;

sending, by the first device, first control information to the second device, wherein the first control information indicates the first resource used by the first device to send a reference signal; and

sending, by the first device, the reference signal to the second device on the first resource.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein:

the first resource comprises a first time-frequency resource, and the sending, by the first device, the reference signal to the second device on the first resource comprises:

sending, by the first device, the reference signal to the second device on the first time-frequency resource; or

the first resource comprises a first time domain resource, and the sending, by the first device, the reference signal to the second device on the first resource comprises:

sending, by the first device, the reference signal to the second device on a time-frequency resource that comprises the first time domain resource and a predefined frequency domain resource; or

the first resource comprises a first frequency domain resource, and the sending, by the first device, the reference signal to the second device on the first resource comprises:

sending, by the first device, the reference signal to the second device on a time-frequency resource that comprises the first frequency domain resource and a predefined time domain resource.

3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the first device comprises an access network device, and wherein the second device comprises a terminal device.

4. The method according to claim 3 , wherein the first control information is comprised in downlink control information.

5. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the first device comprises a first terminal device, and wherein the second device comprises a second terminal device.

6. The method according to claim 5 , wherein the first control information is comprised in sidelink control information.

7. The method according to claim 5 , wherein the first control information is received by the first terminal device from an access network device.

8. A reference signal receiving method, comprising:

sending, to an access network device by a second device, auxiliary information, wherein the auxiliary information comprises one or more of a speed, an acceleration, or a movement direction of the second device;

receiving, by the second device, first control information from a first device, wherein the first control information indicates a first resource used by the first device to send a reference signal, and the first resource is determined based on the auxiliary information; and

receiving, by the second device, the reference signal from the first device on the first resource.

9. The method according to claim 8 , wherein:

the first resource comprises a first time-frequency resource, and the receiving, by the second device, the reference signal from the first device on the first resource comprises:

receiving, by the second device, the reference signal from the first device on the first time-frequency resource; or

the first resource comprises a first time domain resource, and the receiving, by the second device, the reference signal from the first device on the first resource comprises:

receiving, by the second device, the reference signal from the first device on a time-frequency resource that comprises the first time domain resource and a predefined frequency domain resource; or

the first resource comprises a first frequency domain resource, and the receiving, by the second device, the reference signal from the first device on the first resource comprises:

receiving, by the second device, the reference signal from the first device on a time-frequency resource that comprises the first frequency domain resource and a predefined time domain resource.

10. The method according to claim 8 , wherein the first device comprises the access network device, and wherein the second device comprises a terminal device.

11. The method according to claim 10 , wherein the first control information is comprised in downlink control information.

12. The method according to claim 8 , wherein the first device comprises a first terminal device, and wherein the second device comprises a second terminal device.

13. The method according to claim 12 , wherein the first control information is comprised in sidelink control information.

14. The method according to claim 12 , wherein the first control information is received by the first terminal device from the access network device.

15. A first device, comprising:

at least one processor;

a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium coupled to the at least one processor and storing programming instructions for execution by the at least one processor to:

receive auxiliary information from a second device, wherein the auxiliary information comprises one or more of a speed, an acceleration, or a movement direction of the second device;

determine a first resource based on the auxiliary information;

send first control information to the second device, wherein the first control information indicates the first resource used by the first device to send a reference signal; and

send the reference signal to the second device on the first resource.

16. The first device according to claim 15 , wherein:

the first resource comprises a first time-frequency resource, and that the sending the reference signal to the second device on the first resource comprises:

sending the reference signal to the second device on the first time-frequency resource; or

the first resource comprises a first time domain resource, and that the sending the reference signal to the second device on the first resource comprises:

sending the reference signal to the second device on a time-frequency resource that comprises the first time domain resource and a predefined frequency domain resource; or

the first resource comprises a first frequency domain resource, and that the sending the reference signal to the second device on the first resource comprises:

sending the reference signal to the second device on a time-frequency resource that comprises the first frequency domain resource and a predefined time domain resource.

17. The first device according to claim 15 , wherein the first device comprises an access network device, and wherein the second device comprises a terminal device.

18. The first device according to claim 17 , wherein the first control information is comprised in downlink control information.

19. The first device according to claim 15 , wherein the first device comprises a first terminal device, and wherein the second device comprises a second terminal device.

20. The first device according to claim 19 , wherein the first control information is comprised in sidelink control information.
