Abstract

Embodiments of the present application relate to a method for activating or updating a pathloss reference signal corresponding to a sounding reference signa and a device. The method includes: receiving, by a terminal device, a MAC CE sent by a network device, the MAC CE including at least one SRS resource set field and/or at least one pathloss RS field, the at least one SRS resource set field being used to indicate at least one SRS resource set, and the at least one pathloss RS field being used to indicate at least one pathloss RS corresponding to the at least one SRS resource set; and updating or activating, by the terminal device, the at least one pathloss RS corresponding to the at least one SRS resource set according to the MAC CE.

Claims (30)

1. A method for activating or updating a pathloss reference signal corresponding to a sounding reference signal, the method comprising:

receiving, by a terminal device, a Medium Access Control (MAC) Control Element (CE) sent by a network device, wherein the MAC CE comprises at least one Sounding Reference Signal (SRS) resource set field and/or at least one pathloss Reference Signal (RS) field, the at least one SRS resource set field is used to indicate at least one SRS resource set, and the at least one pathloss RS field is used to indicate at least one pathloss RS corresponding to the at least one SRS resource set; and

updating or activating, by the terminal device, the at least one pathloss RS corresponding to the at least one SRS resource set according to the MAC CE;

wherein the MAC CE comprises the at least one SRS resource set field and the at least one pathloss RS field;

wherein: the at least one SRS resource set field has a one-to-one correspondence with the at least one pathloss RS field, one SRS resource set field in the at least one SRS resource set field is used to indicate an identity of one SRS resource set in the at least one SRS resource set, and one pathloss RS field in the at least one pathloss RS field is used to indicate an identity of one pathloss RS in the at least one pathloss RS;

wherein the method further comprises: determining, by the terminal device, a size of each SRS resource set field in the at least one SRS resource set field according to a maximum number of the at least one SRS resource set;

wherein in response to that the maximum number of the at least one SRS resource set is 16, each SRS resource set field occupies 4 bits.

2. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising:

determining, by the terminal device, a size of each pathloss RS field in the at least one pathloss RS field according to the number of the at least one pathloss RS.

3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the MAC CE further comprises a serving cell identity field, and the serving cell identity field is used to indicate an identity of a serving cell which the terminal device camps on.

4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the MAC CE further comprises a bandwidth part identity field, and the bandwidth part identity field is used to indicate an identity of a bandwidth part corresponding to the terminal device.

5. The method according to claim 1 , wherein a header of a MAC protocol data unit where the MAC CE is located comprises a logical channel identifier field, and the logical channel identifier field is used to indicate a type of the MAC CE.

6. A method for activating or updating a pathloss reference signal corresponding to a sounding reference signal, the method comprising:

sending, by a network device, a Medium Access Control (MAC) Control Element (CE) to a terminal device, wherein the MAC CE comprises at least one Sounding Reference Signal (SRS) resource set field and/or at least one pathloss Reference Signal (RS) field, the at least one SRS resource set field is used to indicate at least one SRS resource set, the at least one pathloss RS field is used to indicate at least one pathloss RS corresponding to the at least one SRS resource set, and the MAC CE is used to indicate the terminal device to update or activate the at least one pathloss RS corresponding to the at least one SRS resource set;

wherein the MAC CE comprises the at least one SRS resource set field and the at least one pathloss RS field;

wherein: the at least one SRS resource set field has a one-to-one correspondence with the at least one pathloss RS field, one SRS resource set field in the at least one SRS resource set field is used to indicate an identity of one SRS resource set in the at least one SRS resource set, and one pathloss RS field in the at least one pathloss RS field is used to indicate an identity of one pathloss RS in the at least one pathloss RS;

wherein the method further comprises: determining, by the network device, a size of each SRS resource set field in the at least one SRS resource set field according to a maximum number of the at least one SRS resource set;

wherein in response to that the maximum number of the at least one SRS resource set is 16, each SRS resource set field occupies 4 bits.

7. A terminal device, comprising one or more processors, memory storing a plurality of programs that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the terminal device to:

receive a Medium Access Control (MAC) Control Element (CE) sent by a network device, wherein the MAC CE comprises at least one Sounding Reference Signal (SRS) resource set field and/or at least one pathloss Reference Signal (RS) field, the at least one SRS resource set field is used to indicate at least one SRS resource set, and the at least one pathloss RS field is used to indicate at least one pathloss RS corresponding to the at least one SRS resource set; and

update or activate the at least one pathloss RS corresponding to the at least one SRS resource set according to the MAC CE;

wherein the MAC CE comprises the at least one SRS resource set field and the at least one pathloss RS field;

wherein: the at least one SRS resource set field has a one-to-one correspondence with the at least one pathloss RS field, one SRS resource set field in the at least one SRS resource set field is used to indicate an identity of one SRS resource set in the at least one SRS resource set, and one pathloss RS field in the at least one pathloss RS field is used to indicate an identity of one pathloss RS in the at least one pathloss RS;

wherein the method further comprises: determining, by the terminal device, a size of each SRS resource set field in the at least one SRS resource set field according to a maximum number of the at least one SRS resource set;

wherein in response to that the maximum number of the at least one SRS resource set is 16, each SRS resource set field occupies 4 bits.

8. The terminal device according to claim 7 , wherein when the plurality of programs are executed by the one or more processors, the terminal device is caused to:

determine a size of each pathloss RS field in the at least one pathloss RS field according to the number of the at least one pathloss RS [field].

9. The terminal device according to claim 7 , wherein the MAC CE further comprises a serving cell identity field, and the serving cell identity field is used to indicate an identity of a serving cell which the terminal device camps on.

10. The terminal device according to claim 7 , wherein the MAC CE further comprises a bandwidth part identity field, and the bandwidth part identity field is used to indicate an identity of a bandwidth part corresponding to the terminal device.

11. The terminal device according to claim 7 , wherein a header of a MAC protocol data unit where the MAC CE is located comprises a logical channel identifier field, and the logical channel identifier field is used to indicate a type of the MAC CE.
