Abstract

Information sending, information determining and relationship determining methods and devices are provided. According to the information sending method, a base station sends M parameter sets via high-layer signaling, wherein M>=1, M is a positive integer, each parameter set includes quasi-co-location Non-Zero Power (NZP) Channel State Information Reference Signal (CSI-RS) indication information, and the quasi-co-location NZP CSI-RS indication information is used by a terminal to acquire a large-scale characteristic of a channel; and when M>1, the base station indicates, via a physical-layer control signaling, parameter set selection information of a subframe on which the physical-layer control signaling is sent.

Claims (20)

1. A relationship determining method comprising:

determining, by a terminal, a set of N quasi-co-location relationship types, N>1 and N being a positive integer;

when N=1, determining, by the terminal, a quasi-co-location relationship between antenna ports according to the quasi-co-location relationship type; or, when N>1, determining, by the terminal, a set of quasi-co-location relationships between the antenna ports according to the N quasi-co-location relationship types and type indication signaling configured by high-layer signaling;

wherein the relationship determining method further comprises:

determining, by the terminal, the set of the N quasi-co-location relationship types according to a Precodin Matrix Indicator (PMI) enabling configuration parameter.

2. The relationship determining method as claimed in claim 1 , further comprising:

determining, by the terminal, the set of the N quasi-co-location relationship types according to a measurement restriction configuration parameter.

3. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium, storing a computer-executable instruction for performing the method according to claim 2 .

4. The relationship determining method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the N quasi-co-location relationship types comprise a following type:

the terminal assumes that dedicated de-Modulation Reference Signal (DMRS) ports 7-14 and Cell specific Reference Signal (CRS) ports 0-3 indicated by quasi-co-location measurement reference signal configuration signaling of a base station are quasi-co-located.

5. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium, storing a computer-executable instruction for performing the method according to claim 4 .

6. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium, storing a computer-executable instruction for performing the method according to claim 1 .

7. A relationship determining device, comprising a hardware processor configured to execute program modules stored on a memory, wherein the program modules comprise:

a third determination module, a fourth determination module and a fifth determination module, wherein the third determination module determines a set of N quasi-co-location relationship types, N≥1 and N being a positive integer;

the fourth determination module is configured to, when N=1, determine a quasi-co-location relationship between antenna ports according to the quasi-co-location relationship type; and

the fifth determination module is configured to, when N>1, determine a set of quasi-co-location relationships between the antenna ports according to the N quasi-co-location relationship types and type indication signaling configured by high-layer signaling;

wherein the hardware processor is further configured to determine the set of the N quasi-co-location relationship types according to a Precoding Matrix Indicator (PMI) enabling configuration parameter.

8. The relationship determining device as claimed in claim 7 , wherein the hardware processor is further configured to determine the set of the N quasi-co-location relationship types according to a measurement restriction configuration parameter.

9. The relationship determining device as claimed in claim 7 , wherein the N quasi-co-location relationship types comprise a following type:

the terminal assumes that dedicated de-Modulation Reference Signal (DMRS) ports 7-14 and Cell specific Reference Signal (CRS) ports 0-3 indicated by quasi-co-location measurement reference signal configuration signaling of a base station are quasi-co-located.
