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 QCL NZP CSI-RS indication information, indicating a QCL NZP CSI-RS configuration, and comprises a frequency range information indicating a frequency range associated with the QCL NZP CSI-RS configuration, the QCL NZP CSI-RS configuration being used by a terminal to acquire a large-scale characteristic of a channel; and sends parameter set selection information via a physical layer control signal, where the terminal is triggered by the parameter set selection information to determine, according to the parameter set selection information and the QCL NZP CSI-RS indication information of a parameter set among the M parameter sets corresponding to the parameter selection information, QCL CSI-RS configuration of a DMRS.

Claims (36)

1. An information determining method, performed by a terminal, the method comprising:

receiving M parameter sets via high-layer signaling, M being an integer greater than 1, wherein:

each parameter set comprises quasi-co-location (QCL) Non-Zero Power (NZP) Channel State Information Reference Signal (CSI-RS) indication information indicating a QCL NZP CSI-RS configuration, and comprises a frequency range information indicating a frequency range associated with the QCL NZP CSI-RS configuration, the QCL NZP CSI-RS configuration being used by the terminal to acquire a large-scale characteristic of a channel;

receiving parameter set selection information via a physical layer control signal; and

determining, according to the parameter set selection information and the QCL NZP CSI-RS indication information of a parameter set among the M parameter sets corresponding to the parameter set selection information, QCL CSI-RS configuration of a de-Modulation Reference Signal (DMRS).

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the QCL NZP CSI-RS configuration indicated by the QCL NZP CSI-RS indication information in the each parameter set is applicable to the frequency range in the same parameter set.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the frequency range of the each parameter set comprises an integer multiple of one Resource Block (RB).

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein a same QCL NZP CSI-RS configuration corresponds to two or more parameter sets.

5. The method of claim 4 , wherein the two or more parameter sets associated with the same QCL NZP CSI-RS configuration comprise different frequency ranges.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the physical layer control signal comprises a downlink control indication (DCI) signal.

7. A wireless device comprising a memory for storing computer instructions and a processor in communication with the memory, wherein, when the processor executes the computer instructions, the processor is configured to cause the wireless device to:

receive M parameter sets via high-layer signaling, M being an integer greater than 1, wherein:

each parameter set comprises quasi-co-location (QCL) Non-Zero Power (NZP) Channel State Information Reference Signal (CSI-RS) indication information indicating a QCL NZP CSI-RS configuration, and comprises a frequency range information indicating a frequency range associated with the QCL NZP CSI-RS configuration, the QCL NZP CSI-RS configuration being used by the terminal to acquire a large-scale characteristic of a channel;

receive parameter set selection information via a physical layer control signal; and

determine, according to the parameter set selection information and the QCL NZP CSI-RS indication information of a parameter set among the M parameter sets corresponding to the parameter set selection information, QCL CSI-RS configuration of a de-Modulation Reference Signal (DMRS).

8. The wireless device of claim 7 , wherein the QCL NZP CSI-RS configuration indicated by the QCL NZP CSI-RS indication information in the each parameter set is applicable to the frequency range in the same parameter set.

9. The wireless device of claim 7 , wherein the frequency range of the each parameter set comprises an integer multiple of one Resource Block (RB).

10. The wireless device of claim 7 , wherein a same QCL NZP CSI-RS configuration corresponds to two or more parameter sets.

11. The wireless device of claim 10 , wherein the two or more parameter sets associated with the same QCL NZP CSI-RS configuration comprise different frequency ranges.

12. The wireless device of claim 7 , wherein the physical layer control signal comprises a downlink control indication (DCI) signal.

13. An information sending method, performed by a base station, the method comprising:

sending M parameter sets via high-layer signaling, M being an integer greater than 1, wherein:

each parameter set comprises QCL NZP CSI-RS indication information indicating a QCL NZP CSI-RS configuration, and comprises a frequency range information indicating a frequency range associated with the QCL NZP CSI-RS configuration, the QCL NZP CSI-RS configuration being used by a terminal to acquire a large-scale characteristic of a channel; and

sending parameter set selection information via a physical layer control signal, wherein:

the terminal is triggered by the parameter set selection information to determine, according to the parameter set selection information and the QCL NZP CSI-RS indication information of a parameter set among the M parameter sets corresponding to the parameter set selection information, QCL CSI-RS configuration of a DMRS.

14. The method of claim 13 , wherein the QCL NZP CSI-RS configuration indicated by the QCL NZP CSI-RS indication information in the each parameter set is applicable to the frequency range in the same parameter set.

15. The method of claim 13 , wherein a same QCL NZP CSI-RS configuration corresponds to two or more parameter sets.

16. The method of claim 15 , wherein the two or more parameter sets associated with the same QCL NZP CSI-RS configuration comprise different frequency ranges.

17. A wireless communication node comprising a memory for storing computer instructions and a processor in communication with the memory, wherein, when the processor executes the computer instructions, the processor is configured to cause the wireless communication node to:
