Abstract

A common CORESET determining method, an apparatus and a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium are provided. The method includes: receiving configuration information, wherein the configuration information indicates where a physical resource block occupied by a first common control resource set is located in a first downlink bandwidth part; determining a frequency domain resource of the first common control resource set based on a frequency domain resource of the first downlink bandwidth part and the physical resource block occupied by the first common control resource set within the first downlink bandwidth part; and monitoring a physical downlink control channel in the first common control resource set before the first downlink bandwidth part configured by a SIB1 takes effect to obtain scheduling control information. According to this application, complexity of determining a frequency domain location of the first control resource set can be reduced.

1. A method, comprising:

receiving, by a terminal device, configuration information of a first common control resource set, wherein the configuration information indicates where a physical resource block occupied by the first common control resource set is located in a first downlink bandwidth part;

monitoring, by the terminal device, a physical downlink control channel in the first common control resource set before the first downlink bandwidth part configured by system information block 1 (SIB1) takes effect, to obtain scheduling control information, wherein the first downlink bandwidth part configured by the SIB1 takes effect after a successful initial access of the terminal device.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the first downlink bandwidth part is different from an initial downlink bandwidth part defined by control resource set 0 (CORESET#0).

3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein an initial downlink bandwidth part defined by control resource set 0 (CORESET #0) takes effect before successful initial access of the terminal device.

4. The method according to claim 3 , wherein the successful initial access of the terminal device indicates one of the following occasions:

an occasion on which the terminal device successfully receives an initially transmitted message 4 and sends an acknowledgement message to a network device;

an occasion on which the terminal device successfully receives, after the terminal device successfully receives an initially transmitted message 4, downlink control information (DCI) scrambled by a cell radio network temporary identifier (C-RNTI);

an occasion on which the terminal device successfully receives a retransmitted message 4 and sends an acknowledgement message to a network device;

an occasion on which the terminal device successfully receives, after the terminal device successfully receives a retransmitted message 4, DCI scrambled by a C-RNTI;

an occasion on which the terminal device successfully receives, after successfully receiving an initially transmitted message 4, configuration information indicating that DCI scrambled by a C-RNTI needs to be blindly detected;

an occasion on which the terminal device successfully receives, after successfully receiving a retransmitted message 4, configuration information indicating that DCI scrambled by a C-RNTI needs to be blindly detected; or

an occasion on which the terminal device switches from the initial downlink bandwidth part defined by using CORESET #0 to the first downlink bandwidth part configured by the SIB1 after successfully receiving an initially transmitted message 4 or a retransmitted message 4.

5. The method according to claim 1 , wherein a start common resource block of the first common control resource set is determined based on a start common resource block of the first downlink bandwidth part and a start physical resource block occupied by the first common control resource set within the first downlink bandwidth part.

6. The method according to claim 5 , wherein the start common resource block of the first downlink bandwidth part is determined based on a start physical resource block of the first downlink bandwidth part and a third offset.

7. The method according to claim 1 , wherein an identifier of the first common control resource set is not 0.

8. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the configuration information of the first common control resource set is received before successful initial access of the terminal device.

9. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the scheduling control information is control information for scheduling a random access response, control information for scheduling a paging message, or control information for scheduling a system message.

10. An apparatus, comprising:

at least one storage medium including executable instructions; and

at least one processor;

wherein the executable instructions, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the apparatus to:

receive configuration information of a first common control resource set, wherein the configuration information indicates where a physical resource block occupied by the first common control resource set is located in a first downlink bandwidth part;

determine a frequency domain resource of the first common control resource set based on a frequency domain resource of the first downlink bandwidth part and the physical resource block occupied by the first common control resource set within the first downlink bandwidth part; and

monitor a physical downlink control channel in the first common control resource set before the first downlink bandwidth part configured by system information block 1 (SIB1) takes effect, to obtain scheduling control information, wherein the first downlink bandwidth part configured by the SIB1 takes effect after a successful initial access of the terminal device.

11. The apparatus according to claim 10 , wherein the first downlink bandwidth part is different from an initial downlink bandwidth part defined by control resource set 0 (CORESET #0).

12. The apparatus according to claim 10 , wherein an initial downlink bandwidth part defined by control resource set 0 (CORESET#0) takes effect before successful initial access of the apparatus.

13. The apparatus according to claim 12 , wherein the successful initial access of the apparatus indicates one of the following occasions:

an occasion on which the apparatus successfully receives an initially transmitted message 4 and sends an acknowledgement message to a network device;

an occasion on which the apparatus successfully receives a retransmitted message 4 and sends an acknowledgement message to a network device;

an occasion on which the apparatus successfully receives, after the apparatus successfully receives a retransmitted message 4, DCI scrambled by a C-RNTI;

an occasion on which the apparatus successfully receives, after successfully receiving an initially transmitted message 4, configuration information indicating that DCI scrambled by a C-RNTI needs to be blindly detected;

an occasion on which the apparatus successfully receives, after successfully receiving a retransmitted message 4, configuration information indicating that DCI scrambled by a C-RNTI needs to be blindly detected; or
