Abstract

Embodiments of this application disclose power control method, a terminal device, and a network device. The method includes: determining, by a terminal device, a first downlink reference signal (DL RS) resource group corresponding to a first bandwidth part (BWP), where the first DL RS resource group includes at least one DL RS resource; and determining, by the terminal device according to a signal corresponding to the at least DL RS resource in the first DL RS resource group, a path loss value used to calculate a transmit power for to-be-transmitted uplink data. The method, the terminal device, and the network device of the embodiments of this application help to improve system performance.

Claims (29)

1. A power control method, applied in a system comprising a plurality of bandwidth parts (BWPs), comprising:

receiving, by a terminal device, second information sent by a network device, wherein the second information is used to indicate a mapping relationship between a BWP and a downlink reference signal (DL RS) resource group, and in the mapping relationship, one DL RS resource group is configured for each BWP;

determining, by the terminal device, a first DL RS resource group corresponding to a first BWP according to the mapping relationship, wherein the first DL RS resource group comprises at least one DL RS resource; and

determining, by the terminal device according to a signal corresponding to the at least one DL RS resource in the first DL RS resource group, a path loss estimation used to determine a transmit power for transmitting uplink data to be transmitted.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the mapping relationship comprises a correspondence between M DL RS resource groups and Y uplink BWPs (UL BWPs), and M and Y are both positive integers greater than 1.

3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the method further comprises:

receiving, by the terminal device, first information sent by a network device, wherein the first information is used to instruct to activate the first BWP.

4. The method according to claim 3 , wherein the first information is carried in higher layer signaling, media access control (MAC) control element (CE) signaling or downlink control information (DCI).

5. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the second information is carried in higher layer signaling, MAC CE signaling or DCI.

6. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the DL RS resource comprises a channel state information-reference signal (CSI-RS) resource and/or a synchronization signal/physical broadcast channel (SS/PBCH) block.

7. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the method further comprises:

determining, by the terminal device, the transmit power for the to-be-transmitted uplink data according to the path loss estimation; and

sending, by the terminal device, the to-be-transmitted uplink data according to the transmit power.

8. A terminal device, applied in a system comprising a plurality of bandwidth parts (BWPs), comprising:

a processor;

memory for storing instructions executable by the processor;

wherein the processor is configured to:

receive second information sent by a network device, wherein the second information is used to indicate a mapping relationship between a BWP and a downlink reference signal (DL RS) resource group, and in the mapping relationship, one DL RS resource group is configured for each BWP;

determine a first DL RS resource group corresponding to a first BWP according to the mapping relationship, wherein the first DL RS resource group comprises at least one DL RS resource; and

determine, according to a signal corresponding to the at least one DL RS resource in the first DL RS resource group, a path loss estimation used to determine a transmit power for transmitting uplink data to be transmitted.

9. The terminal device according to claim 8 , wherein the mapping relationship comprises a correspondence between M DL RS resource groups and Y uplink BWPs (UL BWPs), and M and Y are both positive integers greater than 1.

10. The terminal device according to claim 8 , wherein the processor is further configured to:

receive first information sent by a network device, wherein the first information is used to instruct to activate the first BWP.

11. The terminal device according to claim 10 , wherein the first information is carried in higher layer signaling, media access control (MAC) control element (CE) signaling or downlink control information (DCI).

12. The terminal device according to claim 8 , wherein the second information is carried in higher layer signaling, MAC CE signaling or DCI.

13. The terminal device according to claim 8 , wherein the DL RS resource comprises a channel state information-reference signal (CSI-RS) resource and/or a synchronization signal/physical broadcast channel (SS/PBCH) block.

14. The terminal device according to claim 8 , wherein the processor is further configured to:

determine the transmit power for the to-be-transmitted uplink data according to the path loss estimation; and

send the to-be-transmitted uplink data according to the transmit power.
