Abstract

The present application discloses a method and a device for wireless communications, including: receiving a first signaling; and as a response to receiving the first signaling, resetting a first power control adjustment state to 0; and transmitting a first radio signal with a first power; herein, the first signaling is a physical layer signaling, or the first signaling is a MAC layer signaling; the first signaling is used to indicate a first RS resource group; the first power control adjustment state is used for calculating the first power. The present application can be more energy-saving through indication of the first signaling.

Claims (38)

1 . A first node for wireless communications, comprising:

a receiver receiving a first signaling, wherein before receiving the first signaling a number of power control adjustment states is greater than 1, and wherein the first signaling is used to determine that the number of power control adjustment states is 1;

a processor, in response to receiving the first signaling and determining that the number of power control adjustment states is 1, resetting a first power control adjustment state to 0;

the processor calculating a first power based on the first power control adjustment state; and

a transmitter transmitting a first radio signal using the calculated first power, wherein the first signaling is a physical layer signaling or a Medium Access Control (MAC) layer signaling, and the first signaling indicates a first Reference Signal (RS) resource group.

2 . The first node according to claim 1 , characterized in comprising:

the receiver, in response to receiving the first signaling, performing a measurement on the first RS resource group.

3 . The first node according to claim 2 , characterized in that a measurement on the first RS resource group is used for calculating a pathloss.

4 . The first node according to claim 1 , characterized in comprising:

the receiver, in response to receiving the first signaling, stopping performing a measurement on the first RS resource group.

5 . The first node according to claim 4 , characterized in that a measurement on the first RS resource group is used for calculating a pathloss.

6 . The first node according to claim 1 , characterized in comprising:

the receiver, in response to receiving the first signaling, performing a measurement on the first RS resource group based on a first Quasi Co-Location (QCL) parameter, wherein before receiving the first signaling, measurement performed on the first RS resource group is based on a second QCL parameter.

7 . The first node according to claim 6 , characterized in that a measurement on the first RS resource group is used for calculating a pathloss.

8 . The first node according to claim 1 , characterized in that a measurement on the first RS resource group is used for calculating a pathloss.

9 . The first node according to claim 1 , characterized in comprising:

the transmitter transmitting a second signal, the second signal being used for an acknowledgement of the first signaling, wherein the second signal is unicast and the first signaling is non-unicast.

10 . The first node according to claim 1 , characterized in comprising:

the transmitter, in response to receiving the first signaling, transmitting a first MAC Control Element (CE), wherein the first MAC CE is used for reporting a power headroom.

11 . The first node according to claim 1 , characterized in that the first RS resource group comprises at least two RS resources.

12 . The first node according to claim 1 , characterized in that the first signaling comprises a first field, the first field indicating an activation or usage of at least one reference signal resource, or, the first field indicating a deactivation or suspense of at least one reference signal resource.

13 . The first node according to claim 1 , characterized in that the first node, in response to receiving the first signaling, performing a measurement on the first RS resource group based on a first QCL parameter, wherein before the first node receives the first signaling, the measurement performed on the first RS resource group is based on a second QCL parameter.

14 . A method in a first node for wireless communications, comprising:

receiving a first signaling, wherein before receiving the first signaling a number of power control adjustment states is greater than 1, and wherein the first signaling is used to determine that the number of power control adjustment states is 1;

in response to receiving the first signaling and determining that the number of power control adjustment states is 1, resetting a first power control adjustment state to 0;

calculating a first power based on the first power control adjustment state; and

transmitting a first radio signal using the calculated first power, wherein the first signaling is a physical layer signaling or a Medium Access Control (MAC) layer signaling, and the first signaling indicates a first Reference Signal (RS) resource group.

15 . The method according to claim 14 , characterized in comprising:

in response to receiving the first signaling, performing a measurement on the first RS resource group.

16 . The method according to claim 14 , characterized in comprising:

in response to receiving the first signaling, stopping performing a measurement on the first RS resource group.

17 . The method according to claim 14 , characterized in comprising:

in response to receiving the first signaling, performing a measurement on the first RS resource group based on a first Quasi Co-Location (QCL) parameter, wherein before receiving the first signaling, measurement performed on the first RS resource group is based on a second QCL parameter.

18 . The method according to claim 14 , characterized in that a measurement on the first RS resource group is used for calculating a pathloss.

19 . The method according to claim 14 , characterized in comprising:

transmitting a second signal, the second signal being used for an acknowledgement of the first signaling, wherein the second signal is unicast and the first signaling is non-unicast.

20 . The method according to claim 14 , characterized in comprising:

in response to receiving the first signaling, transmitting a first MAC Control Element (CE), wherein the first MAC CE is used for reporting a power headroom.
