Abstract

A method for monitoring a PDCCH, a terminal and a network device are provided. The method includes: determining configuration information of at least one control resource set (CORESET); and transmitting the configuration information of the at least one CORESET to a terminal; where the at least one CORESET is configured per carrier or per bandwidth part (BWP), and the carrier comprises at least one BWP. In a case that the at least one CORESET is configured per carrier, one carrier is configured with at least one CORESET; and in a case that the at least one CORESET is configured per BWP, one BWP is configured with at least one CORESET.

3. The method according to claim 2 , wherein in a case that the terminal is switched from a first BWP to a second BWP, the first indication information is used to instruct the terminal to monitor at least one complete CORESET and/or at least one incomplete CORESET within the second MVP.

4. The method according to claim 3 , wherein

the first indication information is used to instruct the terminal to monitor at least one CORESET of all CORESETs corresponding to the second BWP.

5. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the configuration information of each of the at least one CORESET comprises at least one of: time-frequency resource information of the CORESET, a set of aggregation levels to be monitored, the number of PDCCH candidates at each aggregation level to be monitored, or a ICI parameter of a PDCCH to be monitored in the CORESET.

6. A method for monitoring a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH), applied to a terminal, and comprising:

receiving configuration information of at least one control resource set (CORESET), wherein the at least one CORESET is configured per bandwidth part (BWP), and one BWP is configured with at least one CORESET; and

monitoring the PDCCH in the at least one CORESET in accordance with the configuration information of the at least one CORESET;

wherein in a case that the terminal is switched from a first BWP to a second BWP, the method further comprises:

detecting a downlink control information (DCI) parameter corresponding to the second BWP, when a DCI parameter of the first BWP is different from the DCI parameter of the second BWP; and/or

detecting, within the second BWP, DCI transmitted by a network device in a CORSET corresponding to the second BWP, when a center frequency of the first BWP is different from a center frequency of the second BWP.

7. The method according to claim 6 , wherein the monitoring the PDCCH in the at least one CORESET comprises:

monitoring the PDCCH in at least one complete CORESET and/or at least one incomplete CORESET within a BWP currently accessed by the terminal.

8. The method according to claim 7 , wherein the monitoring the PDCCH in the at least one complete CORESET and/or the at least one incomplete CORESET within the BWP currently accessed by the terminal comprises:

monitoring the PDCCH in at least one complete CORESET and/or at least one incomplete CORESET within a second BWP, in a case that the terminal is switched from a first BWP to the second BWP.

9. The method according to claim 8 , wherein the monitoring the PDCCH in the at least one complete CORESET and/or the at least one incomplete CORESET within the second BWP comprises:

monitoring the PDCCH in at least one CORESET of all CORESETs corresponding to the second BWP.

10. The method according to claim 6 , further comprising:

receiving first indication information transmitted by the terminal, wherein the first indication information is used to instruct the terminal to monitor at least one complete CORESET and/or at least one incomplete CORESET within a BWP that the terminal currently accesses; and

monitoring, based on indication of the first indication information, the PDCCH in the at least one complete CORESET and/or the at least one incomplete CORESET within the BWP that the terminal currently accesses.

11. The method according to claim 10 , wherein, in a case Where the terminal is switched from a first BWP to a second BWP, the first indication information is used to instruct the terminal to monitor at least one complete CORESET and/or at least one incomplete CORESET within the second BWP, and the monitoring, based on indication of the first indication information, the PDCCH in the at least one complete CORESET and/or the at least one incomplete CORESET within the BWP that the terminal currently accesses comprises:

monitoring, based on indication of the first indication information, the PDCCH in the at least one complete CORESET and/or the at least one incomplete CORESET within the second BWP.

12. The method according to claim 11 , wherein
