Abstract

A method for uplink data transmission, a terminal device and a network device are provided. The method may include: receiving subset constraint indication information of an SRS resource sent by a network device, wherein the subset constraint indication information is used for indicating at least one available SRS resource subset; according to the subset constraint indication information, determining the length of an SRI, sent by the network device, in DCI for scheduling uplink data transmission; according to the length of the SRI, determining a target SRI from the DCI; determining, in the at least one available SRS resource subset, a target SRS resource subset corresponding to the target SRI; and according to the target SRS resource subset, determining a transmission parameter used for the uplink data transmission.

determining a target SRI from downlink control information (DCI) according to the length of the SRI;

determining a target SRS resource subset corresponding to the target SRI in the at least one available SRS resource subset; and

determining a transmission parameter used for uplink data transmission according to the target SRS resource subset,

wherein the method further comprises:

determining a corresponding relationship between a value of the SRI and the at least one available SRS resource subset according to the subset constraint indication information; and

the determining the target SRS resource subset corresponding to the target SRI in the at least one available SRS resource subset, comprises:

determining the target SRS resource subset corresponding to the target SRI from the at least one available SRS resource subset according to the corresponding relationship between the value of the SRI and the at least one available SRS resource subset.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the determining the length of the SRI according to the quantity of the at least one available SRS resource subset comprises:

determining that the length of the SRI is equal to ┌ log 2 K┐, wherein ┌ ┐ represents upward rounding and K is equal to the quantity of the at least one available SRS resource subset.

3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the transmission parameter used for the uplink data transmission comprises at least one of: a precoding matrix, a quantity of transmission layers, a quantity of antenna ports, a transmission beam, a power control parameter, or a panel.
