Abstract

The embodiments of the present application relate to a beam determination method and device. When data is sent by means of the determined beam, loss of transmission performance is avoided. In the present application, a terminal sends reference information to a network side device according to configuration of the network side device, the reference information including power backoff information and/or reference signal received power, and the reference signal received power being obtained on the basis of the power backoff information; and the terminal receives a target beam indication sent by the network side device, and sends or receives a signal on the basis a target beam in the target beam indication, the target beam indication being determined by the network side device on the basis of the reference information.

wherein in a case that the reference information comprises the power backoff information,

the sent power backoff information comprises: a power backoff value corresponding to each layer 1 reference signal received power (L1-RSRP) or each channel state information reference signal resource indicator (CRI) sent by the terminal to the network side device, or,

the sent power backoff information comprises: a non-zero power backoff value corresponding to each L1-RSRP or each CRI sent by the terminal to the network side device, or,

the sent power backoff information comprises: a power backoff value of each panel of the terminal.

2 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the configuration of the network side device comprises panel configuration information sent by the network side device, and

before the sending, by the terminal, the reference information to the network side device, the method further comprises:

determining, by the terminal, a manner of receiving channel state information reference signal, CSI-RS, resources and/or a panel for receiving CSI-RS resources on the basis of the panel configuration information, or,

sending, by the terminal, a quantity of panels of the terminal and/or panel identification information to the network side device.

3 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the power backoff information is determined on the basis of maximum permissible exposure MPE and/or maximum sending power of the terminal.

4 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the reference signal received power is determined by the terminal through a following manner:

obtaining, by the terminal, the reference signal received power by adjusting a corresponding L1-RSRP on the basis of the power backoff information.

5 . The method according to claim 2 , wherein the panel configuration information comprises at least one of following information: a panel identifier, a quantity of panels or whether a single panel is adopted.

6 . A beam determination method, comprising:

configuring, by a network side device, a terminal to send reference information, and determining, by the network side device, a target beam indication on the basis of the reference information sent by the terminal, wherein the reference information comprises power backoff information and/or reference signal received power, and the reference signal received power is obtained on the basis of the power backoff information; and

sending, by the network side device, the target beam indication to the terminal, wherein a target beam in the target beam indication is configured for sending or receiving a signal;

wherein in a case that the reference information comprises the power backoff information,

the sent power backoff information comprises: a power backoff value corresponding to each layer 1 reference signal received power (L1-RSRP) or each channel state information reference signal resource indicator (CRI) sent by the terminal to the network side device, or,

7 . The method according to claim 6 , wherein the configuring, by the network side device, the terminal to send the reference information comprises:

sending, by the network side device, panel configuration information to the terminal, wherein the panel configuration information is configured to determine a manner of receiving CSI-RS resources and/or a panel for receiving CSI-RS resources,

or,

configuring, by the network side device, the terminal to send a quantity of panels of the terminal and/or panel identification information.

8 . The method according to claim 6 , wherein the power backoff information is determined on the basis of MPE and/or maximum sending power of the terminal.

9 . The method according to claim 6 , wherein in a case that the reference information comprises the reference signal received power, the configuring, by the network side device, the terminal to send the reference information comprises: signaling indicating the terminal to report the reference signal received power sent by the network side device to the terminal.

10 . The method according to claim 6 , wherein the reference signal received power is obtained by adjusting the L1-RSRP by the terminal on the basis of the power backoff information.

11 . The method according to claim 7 , wherein the panel configuration information comprises at least one of following information: a panel identifier, a quantity of panels or whether a single panel is adopted.

12 . A network side device, comprising: a processor, a memory and a transceiver; wherein

the processor is configured to read programs in the memory and execute the method of claim 10 .

13 . The network side device according to claim 12 , wherein the processor is further configured to:

send panel configuration information to the terminal, wherein the panel configuration information is configured to determine a manner of receiving CSI-RS resources and/or a panel for receiving CSI-RS resources, or,

configure the terminal to send a quantity of panels of the terminal and/or panel identification information.

14 . A terminal, comprising: a processor, a memory and a transceiver; wherein

the processor is configured to read programs in the memory and execute following processes:

sending reference information to a network side device according to configuration of the network side device, wherein the reference information comprises power backoff information and/or reference signal received power, and the reference signal received power is obtained on the basis of the power backoff information; and

receiving a target beam indication sent by the network side device, and sending or receiving a signal on the basis of a target beam in the target beam indication, wherein the target beam indication is determined by the network side device on the basis of the reference information;

wherein in a case that the reference information comprises the power backoff information,
