Abstract

This disclosure discloses an information transmission method and a communications device. The method includes: obtaining a reference object group containing at least two reference objects, where the reference objects contained in the reference object group are quasi co-located; and performing information transmission based on the reference object group.

receiving spatial information of at least two reference objects from a network device, wherein the spatial information comprises spatial grouping factor;

determining that the reference objects having the same modulo result with respect to the spatial grouping factor are quasi co-located; and

performing information transmission based on the reference objects which are quasi co-located.

2. The information transmission method according to claim 1 , wherein the spatial information further comprises spatial index information, and the reference objects are indicated by reference index information and/or time domain position information.

3. The information transmission method according to claim 1 , wherein the reference objects comprise an SSB, the SSB is indicated by an SSB index, SSB indexes corresponding to a same spatial index are quasi co-located, wherein the spatial index=SSB index mod M, M is a value range of the spatial grouping factor, and a range of M is {1, 2, 4, 8}.

4. The information transmission method according to claim 1 , wherein the step of performing information transmission based on the reference objects which are quasi co-located comprises:

determining an available random access resource based on a first correspondence between the reference objects and random access resources; and performing a random access procedure on the available random access resource;

or

the step of performing information transmission based on the reference objects which are quasi co-located further comprises:

determining a target monitoring occasion based on information about a second correspondence between the reference objects and monitoring occasions; and monitoring downlink information within the target monitoring occasion;

or

the step of performing information transmission based on the reference objects which are quasi co-located further comprises:

performing rate matching or puncturing on target transmission information based on the reference objects and transmitting the rate-matched or punctured target transmission information, wherein the target transmission information is different from the reference objects contained in the reference objects.

5. The information transmission method according to claim 4 , wherein the first correspondence comprises at least one of the following:

information about a quantity of random access resources corresponding to the reference objects;

information about preambles corresponding to the reference objects in the random access resources, wherein the information about preambles is used to indicate at least one of a preamble for contention-based random access, a preamble for contention-free random access, a preamble for a system information (SI) request, a preamble for beam failure recovery BFR, or a preamble for a specified group;
