Abstract

Disclosed are a resource configuration method and device, and a computer storage medium, for enabling configuration of a remaining minimum system information control resource set to be more flexibly when the remaining minimum system information control resource set and an associated synchronous information block occupy a same beam by means of frequency division multiplexing, so as to be applicable to more application scenarios. The resource configuration method provided by the present application comprises: determining that a remaining minimum system information control resource set and an associated synchronous information block occupy a same beam by means of frequency division multiplexing; and determining configuration parameters of the remaining minimum system information control resource set and the associated synchronous information block, wherein the configuration parameters of the remaining minimum system information control resource set associated with the synchronous information blocks in each synchronous information block burst set are the same.

a bandwidth occupied by the remaining minimum system information control resource set;

a frequency-domain position of the remaining minimum system information control resource set;

the number of continuous or discontinuous time-domain symbols occupied by the remaining minimum system information control resource set; or

a time-domain position of the remaining minimum system information control resource set;

wherein the time-domain position of the remaining minimum system information control resource set is a relative offset value with respect to the associated SS/PBCH block;

wherein a time-domain start position of the remaining minimum system information control resource set is aligned with a start symbol of the associated SS/PBCH block, or a time-domain end position of the remaining minimum system information control resource set is aligned with an end symbol of the associated SS/PBCH block.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein a frequency-domain position of the remaining minimum system information control resource set and a frequency-domain of the associated SS/PBCH block satisfy one of following relationships:

the remaining minimum system information control resource set and the associated SS/PBCH block share a center frequency-domain position, and the remaining minimum system information control resource set is divided into two parts which are symmetrically distributed at upper and lower sides of the associated SS/PBCH block respectively;

the frequency-domain position of the whole remaining minimum system information control resource set is located below the frequency-domain position of the associated SS/PBCH block;

the frequency-domain position of the whole remaining minimum system information control resource set is located above the frequency-domain position of the associated SS/PBCH block.

3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the number of continuous or discontinuous time-domain symbols occupied by the remaining minimum system information control resource set is 1, 2, 3, 4, 6 or 8 Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing, OFDM, symbols.
