Abstract

Embodiments of this application disclose a data receiving method, a data sending method, a data transmission method, and a related apparatus and system. The method includes: sending, by a network device in each transmission subwindow corresponding to a broadcast signal, the broadcast signal to user equipment by using a different antenna port, where the transmission subwindow is obtained by dividing, based on preset subwindow information, a transmission window corresponding to the broadcast signal; and determining, by the UE, a transmission subwindow in which a downlink transmit beam is located; and receiving the broadcast signal in a time in which the transmission subwindow is located, where the time in which the transmission subwindow is located is calculated based on the pre-obtained subwindow information.

Claims (28)

1. A method, comprising:

receiving a synchronization signal block;

determining, based on an index of the synchronization signal block, a first transmission subwindow corresponding to a first physical downlink control channel (PDCCH), wherein the first transmission subwindow is one of n transmission subwindows, each of the n transmission subwindows being a period of time for monitoring a PDCCH, wherein all the n transmission subwindows are comprised in two adjacent transmission windows, at least one transmission window of the two adjacent transmission windows comprises at least two transmission subwindows, n is an integer greater than 2, and wherein different transmission subwindows in the two adjacent transmission windows correspond to different indexes of synchronization signal blocks; and

receiving the first PDCCH in the first transmission subwindow.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein n is less than or equal to a quantity of synchronization signal blocks in a synchronization signal block set.

3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein determining, based on the index of the synchronization signal block, the first transmission subwindow corresponding to the first PDCCH comprises:

obtaining a location, in the two adjacent transmission windows, of the first transmission subwindow corresponding to the first PDCCH.

4. The method according to claim 3 , wherein obtaining the location, in the two adjacent transmission windows, of the first transmission subwindow corresponding to the first PDCCH comprises:

obtaining a start time of the first transmission subwindow corresponding to the first PDCCH and a length of the first transmission subwindow.

5. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the synchronization signal block and the first PDCCH are received by using a same beam.

6. The method according to claim 1 , wherein one of the n transmission subwindows comprises a first period of time and a second period of time, the first period of time in a first transmission window of the two adjacent transmission windows, and the second period of time in a second transmission window of the two adjacent transmission windows, wherein the first transmission window is adjacent to the second transmission window.

7. The method according to claim 1 , wherein each of the two adjacent transmission windows is a frame.

8. An apparatus comprising:

a non-transitory memory storage comprising instructions; and

one or more processors in communication with the memory storage, wherein the instructions, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the apparatus to:

receive a synchronization signal block;

determine, based on an index of the synchronization signal block, a first transmission subwindow corresponding to a first physical downlink control channel (PDCCH), wherein the first transmission subwindow is one of n transmission subwindows, each of the n transmission subwindows being a period of time for monitoring a PDCCH, wherein all the n transmission subwindows are comprised in two adjacent transmission windows, wherein at least one transmission window of the two adjacent transmission windows comprises at least two transmission subwindows, wherein n is an integer greater than 2, wherein different transmission subwindows in the two adjacent transmission windows correspond to different indexes of synchronization signal blocks; and

receive the first PDCCH in the first transmission subwindow.

9. The apparatus according to claim 8 , wherein n is less than or equal to a quantity of synchronization signal blocks in a synchronization signal block set.

10. The apparatus according to claim 8 , wherein the instructions, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the apparatus to further obtain a location, in the two adjacent transmission windows, of the first transmission subwindow corresponding to the first PDCCH.

11. The apparatus according to claim 10 , wherein the instructions, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the apparatus to obtain a start time of the first transmission subwindow corresponding to the first PDCCH and a length of the first transmission subwindow.

12. The apparatus according to claim 8 , wherein the instructions, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the apparatus to further receive the synchronization signal block and the first PDCCH by using a same beam.

13. The apparatus according to claim 8 , wherein one of the n transmission subwindows comprises a first period of time and a second period of time, the first period of time in a first transmission window of the two adjacent transmission windows, and the second period of time in a second transmission window of the two adjacent transmission windows, wherein the first transmission window is adjacent to the second transmission window.

14. The apparatus according to claim 8 , wherein each of the two adjacent transmission windows is a frame.

15. A non-transitory computer readable storage medium, comprising an instruction, wherein when the instruction is run on a computer, the computer is enabled to perform a method comprising:

receiving a synchronization signal block;

determining, based on an index of the synchronization signal block, a first transmission subwindow corresponding to a first physical downlink control channel (PDCCH), wherein the first transmission subwindow is one of n transmission subwindows, each of the n transmission subwindows being a period of time for monitoring a PDCCH, wherein all the n transmission subwindows are comprised in two adjacent transmission windows, at least one transmission window of the two adjacent transmission windows comprises at least two transmission subwindows, n is an integer greater than 2, and wherein different transmission subwindows in the two adjacent transmission windows correspond to different indexes of synchronization signal blocks; and

receiving the first PDCCH in the first transmission subwindow.
