Abstract

Embodiments of the present invention relate to the communications field, and disclose an information transmission method and device to implement beamforming on an SRS. A specific solution is as follows: A base station configures at least one first resource for a UE, where the first resource is used by the UE to transmit a target channel and/or signal; and the base station transmits first indication information to the UE, where the first indication information is used to indicate a correspondence between the first resource and a beam, or the first indication information is used to indicate a correspondence between the first resource and a second resource. The embodiments of the present invention are used in a beamforming process.

Claims (44)

1. An information transmission method, comprising:

configuring a first resource for a terminal device to transmit a first signal comprising a sounding reference signal (SRS);

transmitting, to the terminal device, an indication indicating a correspondence between the first resource and a second resource;

receiving a second signal transmitted on an uplink transmitting beam from the terminal device by using the second resource; and

receiving the first signal transmitted on the uplink transmitting beam from the terminal device by using the first resource, wherein the correspondence is used by the terminal device to determine to transmit the first signal on the uplink transmitting beam.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the first resource is comprised in a resource group that comprises a plurality of resources.

3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the first resource comprises at least one of a time domain resource, a frequency domain resource, a code domain resource, or an antenna port.

4. The method according to claim 2 , wherein the indication further indicates a correspondence between each of the plurality of resources in the resource group and the second resource.

5. The method according to claim 4 , wherein the indication further indicates an identity of each of the plurality of resources in the resource group and an identity of the second resource.

6. An information transmission method, comprising:

determining a first resource for a terminal device to transmit a first signal comprising a sounding reference signal (SRS) to a base station;

receiving, from the base station, an indication indicating a correspondence between the first resource and a second resource;

transmitting a second signal on an uplink transmitting beam by using the second resource;

determining, based on the correspondence between the first resource and the second resource, that the uplink transmitting beam is used for transmitting the first signal; and

transmitting, to the base station, the first signal on the uplink transmitting beam by using the first resource.

7. The method according to claim 6 , wherein the first resource is comprised in a resource group that comprises a plurality of resources.

8. The method according to claim 6 , wherein the first resource comprises at least one of a time domain resource, a frequency domain resource, a code domain resource, or an antenna port.

9. The method according to claim 7 , wherein the indication further indicates a correspondence between each of the plurality of resources in the resource group and the second resource.

10. The method according to claim 9 , wherein the indication further indicates an identity of each of the plurality of resources in the resource group and an identity of the second resource.

11. A base station, comprising:

at least one processor;

a memory coupled to the at least one processor, the memory comprising instructions for execution by the at least one processor, the instructions instruct the base station to perform operations comprising:

configuring a first resource for a terminal device to transmit a first signal comprising a sounding reference signal (SRS);

transmitting, to the terminal device, an indication indicating a correspondence between the first resource and a second resource;

receiving a second signal transmitted on an uplink transmitting beam from the terminal device by using the second resource; and

receiving the first signal transmitted on the uplink transmitting beam from the terminal device by using the first resource, wherein the correspondence is used by the terminal device to determine to transmit the first signal on the uplink transmitting beam.

12. The base station according to claim 11 , wherein the first resource is comprised in a resource group that comprises a plurality of resources.

13. The base station according to claim 11 , wherein the first resource comprises at least one of a time domain resource, a frequency domain resource, a code domain resource, or an antenna port.

14. The base station according to claim 12 , wherein the indication further indicates a correspondence between each of the plurality of resources in the resource group and the second resource.

15. The base station according to claim 14 , wherein the indication further indicates an identity of each of the plurality of resources in the resource group and an identity of the second resource.

16. A terminal device, comprising:

at least one processor;

a memory coupled to the at least one processor, the memory comprising instructions for execution by the at least one processor, the instructions instruct the terminal device to perform operations comprising:

determining a first resource for a terminal device to transmit a first signal comprising a sounding reference signal (SRS) to a base station;

receiving, from the base station, an indication indicating a correspondence between the first resource and a second resource;

transmitting a second signal on an uplink transmitting beam by using the second resource;

determining, based on the correspondence between the first resource and the second resource, that the uplink transmitting beam is used for transmitting the first signal; and

transmitting, to the base station, the first signal on the uplink transmitting beam by using the first resource.

17. The terminal device according to claim 16 , wherein the first resource is comprised in a resource group that comprises a plurality of resources.

18. The terminal device according to claim 16 , wherein the first resource comprises at least one of a time domain resource, a frequency domain resource, a code domain resource, or an antenna port.

19. The terminal device according to claim 17 , wherein the indication further indicates a correspondence between each of the plurality of resources in the resource group and the second resource.

20. The terminal device according to claim 19 , wherein the indication further indicates an identity of each of the plurality of resources in the resource group and an identity of the second resource.

21. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium comprising instructions executable by a computer to cause the computer to carry out the method of claim 1 .

22. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium comprising instructions executable by a computer to cause the computer to carry out the method of claim 6 .
