Method and apparatus for configuring a triggering condition of a beam failure event and a communication system
Method and apparatus for configuring a triggering condition of a beam failure event and a communication system. The method includes: a network device configures a UE with one or more control channel monitoring groups, so that when the UE detects that all beams to which a monitoring group corresponds fail in transmission, the UE reports beam failure event of the monitoring group fails in transmission; wherein, each monitoring group corresponds to one or more pieces of downlink control information (DCI). By configuring regarding the triggering conditions of the beam failure events, detection and report of beam failure in more complex scenarios may be supported, such as a scenario where one piece of DCI is transmitted in multiple control resource sets, and a scenario where multiple pieces of DCI are transmitted in one control resource set, etc.
1. An apparatus for configuring a monitoring group, the apparatus comprising:
a memory that stores a plurality of instructions; and
processor circuitry that couples to the memory and is configured to execute the plurality of instructions to:
configure a UE with one or more physical resources of one or more channel state information-reference signals (CSI-RSs) each using the same beam as a control channel in a control channel monitoring group, so that when the UE detects that all beams of the one or more CSI-RSs to which the control channel monitoring group corresponds fail in transmission, the UE reports the beam failure detection of the control channel monitoring group fails in transmission; and
configure the UE with a control resource set (CORESET) in which one or more control channel candidates to be monitored are located as the control channel monitoring group,
wherein the one or more CSI-RSs and the one or more control channel candidates to be monitored in the CORESET are associated with each other by a parameter for quasi-co-location (QCL) in CSI-RS resource configuration via high layer signaling and an ID for QCL in CORESET configuration.
2. An apparatus for triggering a beam failure event, applicable to a UE, the apparatus comprising:
a memory that stores a plurality of instructions; and
processor circuitry that couples to the memory and is configured to execute the plurality of instructions to:
receive configuration for one or more physical resources of one or more channel state information-reference signals (CSI-RSs) each using the same beam as a control channel in a control channel monitoring group;
receive configuration for a control resource set (CORESET) in which one or more control channel candidates to be monitored are located as the control channel monitoring group;
detect the beam failure by using the one or more CSI-RSs associated with the one or more control channel candidates to be monitored; and
report, when the UE detects that all beams of the one or more CSI-RSs to which the control channel monitoring group corresponds fail in transmission, the beam failure detection of the control channel monitoring group fails in transmission,
wherein the one or more CSI-RSs and the one or more control channel candidates to be monitored in the CORESET are associated with each other by a parameter for quasi-co-location (QCL) in CSI-RS resource configuration via high layer signaling and an ID for QCL in CORESET configuration.
