Abstract

Provided are methods for determining a transmission parameter of an uplink signal, a terminal and a network device. The method includes that: a terminal determines a first SRS resource set receives, from a network device, first indication information which is for instructing the terminal to transmit an aperiodic SRS, determines a target SRS resource set according to the first indication information and the first SRS resource set, sends the aperiodic SRS to the network device on an SRS resource in the target SRS resource set, receives, from the network device, second indication information which is for indicating a target SRS resource in the target SRS resource set; and the terminal determines a transmission parameter used to transmit an uplink signal according to the target SRS resource.

Claims (59)

1. A method for determining a transmission parameter of an uplink signal, comprising:

determining, by a terminal, a first Sounding Reference Signal (SRS) resource set;

receiving, by the terminal, first indication information sent by a network device, the first indication information being used to indicate the terminal to transmit an aperiodic SRS;

determining, by the terminal, a target SRS resource set according to the first indication information and the first SRS resource set;

sending, by the terminal, the aperiodic SRS to the network device on an SRS resource in the target SRS resource set;

receiving, by the terminal, second indication information sent by the network device, the second indication information being used to indicate a target SRS resource in the target SRS resource set; and

determining, by the terminal, a transmission parameter used to transmit an uplink signal according to the target SRS resource.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first indication information is further used to indicate the target SRS resource set, and

determining, by the terminal, the target SRS resource set according to the first indication information and the first SRS resource set comprises:

determining, by the terminal, the target SRS resource set from the first SRS resource set according to the first indication information, the target SRS resource set being a subset of the first SRS resource set.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first indication information is further used to indicate a first SRS resource in the first SRS resource set, and

determining, by the terminal, the target SRS resource set according to the first indication information and the first SRS resource set comprises:

determining, by the terminal, the first SRS resource from the first SRS resource set according to the first indication information; and

determining, by the terminal, a second SRS resource set corresponding to the first SRS resource as the target SRS resource set according to the first SRS resource and a corresponding relationship between each SRS resource in the first SRS resource set and the second SRS resource set.

4. The method of claim 3 , wherein different SRS resources in the first SRS resource set correspond to different second SRS resource sets.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein different beams are adopted for SRS transmission on different SRS resources in the target SRS resource set.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the transmission parameter is a beamforming weight, and

determining, by the terminal, the transmission parameter used to transmit the uplink signal according to the target SRS resource comprises:

determining, by the terminal, the beamforming weight for SRS transmission on the target SRS resource as the beamforming weight for transmission of the uplink signal.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the transmission parameter is a precoding matrix, and

determining, by the terminal, the transmission parameter used to transmit the uplink signal according to the target SRS resource comprises:

receiving, by the terminal, first Precoding Matrix Indicator (PMI) information sent by the network device; and

determining, by the terminal, the precoding matrix of the uplink signal through a mapping relationship among an antenna port amount, PMI information and the precoding matrix according to an antenna port amount of the target SRS resource and the first PMI information.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein determining, by the terminal, the first SRS resource set comprises:

receiving, by the terminal, configuration information sent by the network device, the configuration information being used for configuring the first SRS resource set for the terminal.

9. The method of claim 8 , wherein the configuration information is born in high-layer signaling or Media Access Control (MAC) signaling.

10. The method of claim 1 , wherein receiving, by the terminal, the second indication information sent by the network device comprises:

receiving from the network device, by the terminal, Downlink Control Information (DCI) used to schedule the uplink signal, the DCI containing the second indication information.

11. A terminal, comprising:

a processor; and

a communication interface capable of being connected with the processor; wherein

the processor is configured to determine a first Sounding Reference Signal (SRS) resource set;

the communication interface is configured to receive first indication information sent by a network device, the first indication information being used to instruct the terminal to transmit an aperiodic SRS;

the processor is further configured to determine a target SRS resource set according to the first indication information and the first SRS resource set;

the communication interface is further configured to:

send the aperiodic SRS to the network device on an SRS resource in the target SRS resource set; and

receive second indication information sent by the network device, the second indication information being used to indicate a target SRS resource in the target SRS resource set; and

the processor is further configured to determine a transmission parameter used to transmit an uplink signal according to the target SRS resource.

12. The terminal of claim 11 , wherein the first indication information is further used to indicate the target SRS resource set, and

the processor is configured to:

determine the target SRS resource set from the first SRS resource set according to the first indication information, the target SRS resource set being a subset of the first SRS resource set.

13. The terminal of claim 11 , wherein the first indication information is further used to indicate a first SRS resource in the first SRS resource set, and

the processor is configured to:

determine the first SRS resource from the first SRS resource set according to the first indication information; and

determine a second SRS resource set corresponding to the first SRS resource as the target SRS resource set according to the first SRS resource and a corresponding relationship between each SRS resource in the first SRS resource set and a second SRS resource set.

14. The terminal of claim 13 , wherein different SRS resources in the first SRS resource set correspond to different second SRS resource sets.

15. The terminal of claim 11 , wherein different beams are adopted for SRS transmission on different SRS resources in the target SRS resource set.

16. The terminal of claim 11 , wherein the transmission parameter is a beamforming weight, and

the processor is configured to:
