Abstract

A resource determining method and a device are provided. The method includes: obtaining indication information of one or more reference points of a target resource; and determining the target resource according to the indication information.

wherein the indication information is used to determine a target reference point, wherein:

when the indication information indicates only one reference point, the target reference point is determined to be the one reference point indicated by the indication information; or

when the indication information indicates multiple reference points, the target reference point is determined based on the multiple reference points, wherein the target reference point comprises a reference point at a position at which a second channel is located, wherein the second channel comprises a channel that ends last in one or more scheduled channels.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein for a reference point from the one or more reference points, the indication information further comprises at least one of the following:

a type of the reference point;

a time offset of the reference point relative to a first position;

a period of the reference point;

an indication identifier of a frequency domain resource in which the reference point is located;

an indication identifier of a time domain resource in which the reference point is located;

a reference point identifier;

cell information;

BandWidth Part (BWP) information; or

Hybrid Automatic Repeat reQuest (HARQ) process information of the reference point.

3. The method according to claim 2 , wherein the first channel comprises at least one of the following:

a channel on a cell corresponding to a first preset cell identity in the one or more scheduled cells;

a channel on a BWP corresponding to a first preset BWP identifier in scheduled BWPs;

a channel on a BWP corresponding to a first preset SubCarrier Spacing (SCS) in the scheduled BWPs; or

a channel on which a resource corresponding to a second preset SCS in scheduled resources is located.

4. The method according to claim 2 , wherein the first position comprises at least one of the following:

a position of a time domain resource in which the indication information is located;

a position of a time domain resource in which downlink control information is located;

a position of a target slot of a preset System Frame Number (SFN);

a boundary of a target window;

a start position of a period of search space in which the downlink control information is located;

an end position of the period of the search space in which the downlink control information is located;

a time domain position of a reference object; or

a time domain position of a quasi-co-location reference.

5. The method according to claim 2 , wherein the cell information comprises a cell identity or a cell bitmap.

6. The method according to claim 2 , wherein the cell information comprises information about at least one cell or cell group corresponding to the reference point.

7. The method according to claim 2 , wherein the BWP information comprises a BWP identifier or a BWP bitmap.

8. The method according to claim 2 , wherein the BWP information comprises information about at least one BWP or BWP group corresponding to the reference point.

9. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the indication information comprises a reference point bitmap or a reference point number;

at least some bits in the reference point bitmap correspond to at least some reference points in a first reference point set;

the reference point number is a number of a reference point in the first reference point set, or the reference point number is a number of a reference point in a preset quantity of reference points; and

the first reference point set is a set of reference points determined by using at least one of higher layer signaling, pre-defined signaling, or control signaling.

10. The method according to claim 9 , wherein values of the at least some bits comprise at least one of the following:

a first value, used to indicate that a corresponding reference point is used;

a second value, used to indicate that a corresponding reference point is activated; or

a third value, used to indicate that a corresponding reference point is released or not used.

11. The method according to claim 9 , wherein all bits in the reference point bitmap are fourth values used to indicate one of the following:

a reference point indicated by using indication information in a different type from the current indication information;

a user-defined reference point;

no transmission is required;

no feedback is required;

there is no data resource;

there is no feedback resource; or

there is no target resource.

12. The method according to claim 1 ,

wherein the target reference point further comprises at least one of the following:

a reference point at a position at which the indication information is located;

a reference point at a position at which downlink control information is located;

a reference point at a position at which a data channel on a target cell or a target BandWidth Part (BWP) is located;

a reference point that is the farthest from the data channel on the target cell or the target BWP;

a reference point that is the closest to the data channel on the target cell or the target BWP;

a reference point at a position at which downlink control information on the target cell or the target BWP is located;

a reference point that is the farthest from the downlink control information on the target cell or the target BWP;

a reference point that is the closest to the downlink control information on the target cell or the target BWP;

a reference point in a preset reference point type;

a reference point that is the farthest from the downlink control information;

a reference point that is the farthest from the second channel;

a reference point that is the closest to the downlink control information;

a reference point that is the closest to the second channel;

a reference point with which an interval between a feedback resource and a data resource is greater than a processing delay; or

a reference point that meets a first Hybrid Automatic Repeat reQuest (HARQ) number.

13. The method according to claim 12 , wherein the first HARQ number comprises at least one of the following:

a HARQ number corresponding to transmission;

a HARQ number corresponding to the target resource;

a HARQ number indicated or configured by the indication information; or

a HARQ number indicated or configured by the downlink control information.

14. The method according to claim 12 , wherein the second channel further comprises at least one of the following:

a channel that starts or ends first in the one or more scheduled channels;

a channel that starts in the one or more scheduled channels;

a channel with a preset identifier in the one or more scheduled channels;

a channel with a largest SubCarrier Spacing (SCS) in the one or more scheduled channels;

a channel with a smallest SCS in the one or more scheduled channels; or

a channel whose SCS is a third preset SCS in the one or more scheduled channels.

15. The method according to claim 12 , wherein the target cell comprises at least one of the following:

18. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the indication information comprises fourth information that is used to indicate at least one of the following content:

a reference point indicated by using indication information in a different type from the current indication information;

a user-defined reference point;

no transmission is required;

no feedback is required;

there is no data resource;

there is no feedback resource; or

there is no target resource.

19. A user side device, comprising:

a memory storing computer-readable instructions; and

a processor coupled to the memory and configured to execute the computer-readable instructions, wherein the computer-readable instructions, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to perform operations comprising:

obtaining indication information of one or more reference points of a target resource; and

determining the target resource according to the indication information,

wherein the indication information comprises a position of a first channel, the first channel comprises a Physical Downlink Shared CHannel (PDSCH), and the first channel comprises a channel on a cell corresponding to a lowest cell identity in one or more scheduled cells; and/or

wherein the indication information is used to determine a target reference point, wherein:
