Abstract

An apparatus and method for configuring a transmission resource of a beam failure recovery request, apparatus and method for responding a beam failure recovery request, and a communications system. The apparatus for configuring a transmission resource of a beam failure recovery request includes: a configuring unit configured to transmit configuration information to user equipment, the configuration information being used to configure a transmission resource of a beam failure recovery request related to coordination network equipment. The apparatus for responding a beam failure recovery request includes: a responding unit configured to transmit response information related to a beam failure recovery request of coordination network equipment to user equipment. A case where beam failure occurs in the coordination network equipment may be dealt with efficiently, and normal communications between the network equipment and the user equipment may be ensured.

Claims (32)

1. An apparatus for configuring a transmission resource of a beam failure recovery request, comprising:

a memory that stores a plurality of instructions;

processor circuitry that couples to the memory and is configured to execute the instructions to:

transmit configuration information to user equipment, the configuration information being used to configure a transmission resource of a beam failure recovery request related to coordination network equipment,

wherein a serving network equipment transmits at least one of:

cell ID information of the coordination network equipment;

internal ID information of a coordination set of the coordination network equipment;

global ID information of the coordination network equipment; and

other related ID information of the coordination network equipment to the user equipment.

2. The apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the processor circuitry is further configured to:

transmit the configuration information via a system information block or remaining minimum system information of the coordination network equipment to the user equipment.

3. The apparatus according to claim 2 , wherein the processor circuitry is further configured to:

transmit the configuration information via the system information block or the remaining minimum system information of the coordination network equipment to:

user equipment establishing communications with the coordination network equipment and not connected to the coordination network equipment, or

transmit the configuration information via the system information block or the remaining minimum system information of the coordination network equipment to:

a first user equipment establishing communications with the coordination network equipment and not connected to the coordination network equipment; and

a second user equipment connected to the coordination network equipment.

4. The apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the processor circuitry is further configured to:

transmit the configuration information via signaling of a radio resource control layer of serving network equipment to the user equipment.

5. The apparatus according to claim 4 , wherein the processor is further configured to:

transmit the configuration information via the signaling of the radio resource control layer of the serving network equipment to user equipment connected to the serving network equipment.

6. The apparatus according to claim 5 , wherein,

the configuration information comprises transmission resource configuration of the beam failure recovery request when beam failures occur in the serving network equipment or coordination network equipment of the user equipment connected to the serving network equipment.

7. A communications system, comprising network equipment and user equipment, the network equipment comprising an apparatus for configuring a transmission resource of a beam failure recovery request, the apparatus comprising:

a memory that stores a plurality of instructions;

processor circuitry that couples to the memory and is configured to execute the instructions to:

transmit configuration information to user equipment, the configuration information being used to configure a transmission resource of a beam failure recovery request related to coordination network equipment,

wherein a serving network equipment transmits at least one of:

cell ID information of the coordination network equipment;

internal ID information of a coordination set of the coordination network equipment;

global ID information of the coordination network equipment; and

other related ID information of the coordination network equipment to the user equipment.
