View Patent ↗The present application is for use in reducing the overhead of transmitting beam information between a transmitting end and a receiving end. Disclosed are a method for indicating and determining beam information, a device, and a communication system. The method provided in the present application for indicating beam information comprises: a transmitting end determines a first transmission beam that needs to be used for transmission with a receiving end; the transmitting end determines, on the basis of first mapping relations between beam pair (BPL) identifiers and transmission beams, a first BPL identifier corresponding to the first transmission beam, where the receiving end is provided with second mapping relations between the BPL identifiers and reception beams; the transmitting end transmits the first BPL identifier to the receiving end; and the transmitting end uses the first transmission beam to transmit a signal to the receiving end.
1. A method for determining beam information, comprising:
receiving, by a receiving end, a first beam pair link (BPL) identifier indicated by a transmitting end;
determining, by the receiving end, on the basis of a second mapping relationship between BPL identifiers and receiving beams, a first receiving beam corresponding to the first BPL identifier, wherein the transmitting end is provided with a first mapping relationship between BPL identifiers and transmitting beams; and
receiving, by the receiving end, a signal transmitted by the transmitting end by using the first receiving beam;
wherein the first mapping relationship comprises a mapping relationship among the BPL identifiers, Channel State Information-Reference Signal Resource Indicators (CRIs), and the transmitting beams; and
the second mapping relationship comprises a mapping relationship among the BPL identifiers, CRIs and the receiving beams;
wherein the method for determining beam information further comprises:
receiving, by the receiving end, a mapping relationship between the BPL identifiers and the CRIs transmitted by the transmitting end; and
wherein the receiving end determines the second mapping relationship by the following method:
receiving, by the receiving end, configuration information of reference signal resources transmitted by the transmitting end;
receiving, by the receiving end, a reference signal transmitted by the transmitting end within the reference signal resources, determining a receiving beam corresponding to each reference signal resource, and determining a mapping relationship between CRIs and receiving beams; and
determining by the receiving end, on the basis of the mapping relationship between the CRIs and the receiving beams and the mapping relationship between the BPL identifiers and the CRIs, the second mapping relationship.
2. A device for determining beam information, comprising:
a memory for storing program instructions; and
a processor for calling program instructions stored in the memory and executing following process according to an obtained program:
receiving a first beam pair link (BPL) identifier indicated by a transmitting end; determining, on the basis of a second mapping relationship between BPL identifiers and receiving beams, a first receiving beam corresponding to the first BPL identifier, wherein the transmitting end is provided with a first mapping relationship between BPL identifiers and transmitting beams; and receiving a signal transmitted by the transmitting end by using the first receiving beam;
wherein the first mapping relationship comprises a mapping relationship among the BPL identifiers, Channel State Information-Reference Signal Resource Indicators (CRIs), and the transmitting beams; and
the second mapping relationship comprises a mapping relationship among the BPL identifiers, CRIs and the receiving beams;
wherein the processor is further used for:
receiving a mapping relationship between the BPL identifiers and the CRIs transmitted by the transmitting end;
wherein the processor is further used for determining the second mapping relationship by the following method:
receiving configuration information of reference signal resources transmitted by the transmitting end;
receiving a reference signal transmitted by the transmitting end within the reference signal resources, determining a receiving beam corresponding to each reference signal resource, and determining a mapping relationship between CRIs and receiving beams; and
determining, on the basis of the mapping relationship between the CRIs and the receiving beams and the mapping relationship between the BPL identifiers and the CRIs, the second mapping relationship.
3. A non-transitory computer storage medium, wherein the non-transitory computer storage medium stores computer-executable instructions for causing a computer to perform the method of claim 1 .
