Abstract

A signal reception apparatus, configured in a terminal equipment, includes: a receiver configured to: receive downlink control information, the downlink control information indicating two transmission configuration indication states, and receive a physical downlink control channel associated with one or two transmission configuration indication states within an application time of the two transmission configuration indication states.

Claims (56)

1 . A signal reception apparatus, configured in a terminal equipment, the apparatus comprising:

a receiver configured to:

receive downlink control information, the downlink control information indicating two transmission configuration indication states, and

receive a physical downlink control channel associated with one or two transmission configuration indication states within an application time of the two transmission configuration indication states.

2 . The apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein

the receiver is further configured to:

receive a physical downlink control channel associated with one or two transmission configuration indication states in a first control resource set according to configuration of the first control resource set, and

receive a physical downlink control channel associated with one or two transmission configuration indication states in a second control resource set according to configuration of a second control resource set.

3 . The apparatus according to claim 2 , wherein,

the first control resource set is configured to use the unified TCI state or not to use the unified TCI state,

when the first control resource set is configured to use the unified TCI state, the first control resource set is also configured that the physical downlink control channel reception in the first control resource set is associated with one or two transmission configuration indication states,

the second control resource set is configured to use the unified TCI state or not to use the unified TCI state, and

when the second control resource set is configured to use the unified TCI state, the second control resource set is also configured that the physical downlink control channel reception in the second control resource set is associated with one or two transmission configuration indication states.

4 . The apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein

the physical downlink control channel is a non-PDCCH repetition or non-SFN PDCCH and is located within the application time of the two transmission configuration indication states, and

the receiver receives the physical downlink control channel based on one transmission configuration indication state in the two transmission configuration indication states.

5 . The apparatus according to claim 4 , wherein,

the one transmission configuration indication state is a transmission configuration indication state configured for a control resource set where the physical downlink control channel is located.

6 . The apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the physical downlink control channel comprises two physical downlink control channels, both of two control resource sets associated with the two physical downlink control channels using a unified transmission configuration indication, or neither of them using a unified transport configuration indication.

7 . The apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the physical downlink control channel comprises two physical downlink control channels, the two physical downlink control channels being within the application times of the two transmission configuration indication states, and

the receiver receives one of the two physical downlink control channels in a first control resource set based on the first transmission configuration indication state in the two transmission configuration indication states, and

the receiver receives the other one of the two physical downlink control channels in a second control resource set based on the second transmission configuration indication state in the two transmission configuration indication states, wherein,

the first control resource set is configured to be associated with the first transmission configuration indication state,

and the second control resource set is configured to be associated with the second transmission configuration indication state.

8 . The apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein,

a first transmission configuration indication state of the two transmission configuration indication states is a transmission configuration indication state with a smaller field ID in a media access control control element, and

a second transmission configuration indication state of the two transmission configuration indication states is a transmission configuration indication state with a larger field ID in the media access control control element.

9 . A signal transmission apparatus, configured in a network device, the apparatus comprising:

a transmitter configured to:

transmit downlink control information, the downlink control information indicating two transmission configuration indication states, and

transmit a physical downlink control channel associated with one or two transmission configuration indication states within an application time of the two transmission configuration indication states.

10 . The apparatus according to claim 9 , wherein

the transmitter is further configured to:

transmit a physical downlink control channel associated with one or two transmission configuration indication states in a first control resource set according to configuration of the first control resource set, and

transmit a physical downlink control channel associated with one or two transmission configuration indication states in a second control resource set according to configuration of a second control resource set.

11 . The apparatus according to claim 10 , wherein,

the first control resource set is configured to use the unified TCI state or not to use the unified TCI state,

when the first control resource set is configured to use the unified TCI state, the first control resource set is also configured that the physical downlink control channel reception in the first control resource set is associated with one or two transmission configuration indication states,

the second control resource set is configured to use the unified TCI state or not to use the unified TCI state, and

when the second control resource set is configured to use the unified TCI state, the second control resource set is also configured that the physical downlink control channel reception in the second control resource set is associated with one or two transmission configuration indication states.

12 . The apparatus according to claim 9 , wherein the physical downlink control channel is a non-PDCCH repetition or non-SFN PDCCH and is located within the application time of the two transmission configuration indication states, and the transmitter transmits the physical downlink control channel based on one transmission configuration indication state in the two transmission configuration indication states.

13 . The apparatus according to claim 12 , wherein,

the one transmission configuration indication state is a transmission configuration indication state configured for a control resource set where the physical downlink control channel is located.

14 . The apparatus according to claim 9 , wherein the physical downlink control channel comprises two physical downlink control channels, both of two control resource sets associated with the two physical downlink control channels using a unified transmission configuration indication, or neither of them using a unified transport configuration indication.
