Abstract

A communication device includes: a first module of a repeater acquires a first beam indication, the first beam indication being at least used by the first module to receive a signal from a first network device at a first band, and/or the first module of the repeater acquires a second beam indication, the second beam indication being at least used by the first module to transmit a signal to the first network device at the first band.

Claims (42)

1 . A communication device, comprising:

a first module of a repeater acquires a first beam indication, the first beam indication being at least used by the first module to receive a signal from a first network device at a first band, and/or the first module of the repeater acquires a second beam indication, the second beam indication being at least used by the first module to transmit a signal to the first network device at the first band,

and the first module acquires a third beam indication, the third beam indication being at least used by a second module of the repeater to receive a third signal from a second network device at a second band, the third signal being used to be forwarded, and/or, the first module acquires a fourth beam indication, the fourth beam indication being at least used by the second module to forward a processed fourth signal from a terminal equipment to the second network device at the second band, and

the first band and the second band do not overlap in a frequency domain.

2 . The device according to claim 1 , wherein the third beam indication is further used by the first module to receive a signal from the second network device at the second band, and/or the fourth beam indication is further used by the first module to transmit a signal to the second network device at the second band.

3 . The device according to claim 1 , wherein,

the first module further acquires a fifth beam indication, the fifth beam indication being at least used by the second module to transmit a processed third signal at the second band, and/or, the first module further acquires a sixth beam indication, the sixth beam indication being at least used by the second module to receive the fourth signal at the second band.

4 . The device according to claim 1 , wherein the first to fourth beam indications at least include information related to a beam and/or a spatial filter and/or a reference signal, the information comprising at least one piece of the following information:

a spatial filter index and/or a beam index;

a reference signal index;

the number of antenna ports of a reference signal;

antenna polarization information;

beam width information; and

beam direction information.

5 . The device according to claim 1 , wherein that each of the beam indications is at least used by the first module or the second module to transmit a signal and/or receive a signal refers to that,

the first module or the second module transmits a signal and/or receives a signal by using spatial filters corresponding to the beam indications.

6 . The device according to claim 1 , wherein the first to fourth beam indications are carried by dynamic signaling or semi-static signaling.

7 . The device according to claim 6 , wherein the dynamic signaling is downlink control information DCI or a physical downlink control channel PDCCH.

8 . The device according to claim 6 , wherein the semi-static signaling is MAC CE signaling or RRC signaling.

9 . The device according to claim 1 , wherein subcarrier spacing of the first band and subcarrier spacing of a second band are different.

10 . The device according to claim 1 , wherein the first band comprises a first carrier, the first carrier comprising a first downlink carrier and/or a first uplink carrier.

11 . The device according to claim 10 , wherein the first uplink carrier and the first downlink carrier are located at the same position in the frequency domain or do not overlap in the frequency domain.

12 . The device according to claim 1 , wherein the second band comprises a second carrier, the second carrier comprising a second downlink carrier and/or a second uplink carrier.

13 . The device according to claim 12 , wherein the second uplink carrier and the second downlink carrier are located at the same position in the frequency domain or do not overlap in the frequency domain.

14 . The device according to claim 10 , wherein subcarrier spacing of the first downlink carrier and subcarrier spacing of a second downlink carrier are different.

15 . The device according to claim 1 , wherein,

the first module receives and/or transmits a signal at the second band.

16 . The device according to claim 10 , wherein,

the first module receives a first reference signal at the first downlink carrier and/or the second downlink carrier.

17 . The device according to claim 16 , wherein,

the first module transmits a measurement report of the first reference signal of the first downlink carrier and/or the second downlink carrier.

18 . The device according to claim 10 , wherein,

the first module transmits a second reference signal at the first uplink carrier and/or the second uplink carrier.

19 . A network device, comprising:

a transmitter configured to transmit a signal to a mobile terminal of a repeater, and/or,

a receiver configured to receive a signal from the mobile terminal of the repeater.

20 . A communication system, comprising a network device, a terminal equipment and a repeater, wherein,

the network device is configured to transmit a signal to and/or receive a signal from the repeater, and/or the network device is configured to transmit a signal to the terminal equipment via the repeater and/or receive a signal from the terminal equipment via the repeater;

and the repeater is configured to:

acquire a first beam indication via a first module, the first beam indication being at least used by the first module to receive a signal from a first network device at a first band, and/or, acquire a second beam indication via the first module, the second beam indication being at least used by the first module to transmit a signal to the first network device at the first band,

and acquire a third beam indication via the first module, the third beam indication being at least used by a second module to receive a third signal from a second network device at a second band, the third signal being used to be forwarded, and/or, acquire a fourth beam indication via the first module, the fourth beam indication being at least used by the second module to forward a processed fourth signal from a terminal equipment to the second network device at the second band, and

the first band and the second band do not overlap in a frequency domain.
