Abstract

Provided are an information transmission method and apparatus. The method includes acquiring, according to one of a second type of information or a third type of information, the other one of the second type of information or the third type of information; or transmitting one piece of first signaling information including the second type of information and the third type of information. The second type of information includes at least one of a downlink control channel resource group, an uplink control channel resource group, a process number set, a transmission configuration indicator (TCI) state group, a spatial relation information group or an antenna group.

Claims (40)

1. An information determination method performed by a wireless communication device, comprising:

receiving a signaling message comprising first information and second information, wherein:

the first information comprises a downlink control channel resource group identifier (ID);

the second information comprises a table of a transmission configuration indicator (TCI) indication field value corresponding to downlink control information (DCI); and

the second information corresponds to the first information;

determining, according to the second information, whether hybrid automatic repeat request acknowledgement (HARQ-ACK) codebooks corresponding to the first information with different indexes are combined; and

in response to determining that the HARQ-ACK codebooks corresponding to the first information with the different indexes are combined:

connecting, according to the different indexes, the HARQ-ACK codebooks corresponding to the different indexes,

inputting the connected HARQ-ACK codebook to a channel encoder,

encoding the connected HARQ-ACK codebook, and

feeding back the encoded HARQ-ACK codebook in one uplink control resource.

2. The information determination method according to claim 1 , wherein:

the TCI indication field value being 1 indicates a corresponding TCI state being activated; and

the TCI indication field value being 0 indicates the corresponding TCI state being deactivated.

3. The information determination method according to claim 1 , wherein:

the signaling message comprises a medium access control-control element (MAC-CE) command.

4. The information determination method according to claim 1 , wherein:

the downlink control channel resource group comprises one or more control resource sets (CORESET).

5. The information determination method according to claim 1 , wherein connecting, according to the different indexes, the HARQ-ACK codebooks corresponding to the different indexes comprises:

in response to the first information being with two indexes, connecting the HARQ-ACK codebook corresponding to the first information with index 0 followed by the HARQ-ACK codebook corresponding to the first information with index 1.

6. A wireless communication device comprising:

a memory storing instructions; and

a processor in communication with the memory, wherein, when the processor executes the instructions, the processor is configured to cause the wireless communication device to:

receiving a signaling message comprising first information and second information, wherein:

the first information comprises a downlink control channel resource group identifier (ID);

the second information comprises a table of a transmission configuration indicator (TCI) indication field value corresponding to downlink control information (DCI); and

the second information corresponds to the first information;

determining, according to the second information, whether hybrid automatic repeat request acknowledgement (HARQ-ACK) codebooks corresponding to the first information with different indexes are combined; and

in response to determining that the HARQ-ACK codebooks corresponding to the first information with the different indexes are combined:

connecting, according to the different indexes, the HARQ-ACK codebooks corresponding to the different indexes,

inputting the connected HARQ-ACK codebook to a channel encoder,

encoding the connected HARQ-ACK codebook, and

feeding back the encoded HARQ-ACK codebook in one uplink control resource.

7. The wireless communication device according to claim 6 , wherein:

the TCI indication field value being 1 indicates a corresponding TCI state being activated; and

the TCI indication field value being 0 indicates the corresponding TCI state being deactivated.

8. The wireless communication device according to claim 6 , wherein:

the downlink control channel resource group comprises one or more control resource sets (CORESET).

9. The wireless communication device according to claim 6 , wherein, when the processor is configured to cause the wireless communication device to connect, according to the different indexes, the HARQ-ACK codebooks corresponding to the different indexes, the processor is configured to cause the wireless communication device to:

in response to the first information being with two indexes, connect the HARQ-ACK codebook corresponding to the first information with index 0 followed by the HARQ-ACK codebook corresponding to the first information with index 1.
