Abstract

Provided is a method for reporting information. The method includes following steps: determining that a beam link failure (BLF) condition is true; generating a first type of report information, where the first type of report information is at least used for notifying a second communication node of BLF; transmitting the first type of report information to the second communication node through an allocated first uplink resource. Provided also are a method for receiving information, apparatus for reporting information, apparatus for receiving information and computer readable storage medium.

Claims (43)

1. A method for reporting information, comprising:

determining that a beam link failure (BLF) condition is true;

generating a first type of report information, wherein the first type of report information is at least used for notifying a second communication node of BLF;

transmitting the first type of report information to the second communication node through an allocated first uplink resource; and

when an uplink reference signal to be transmitted on a second uplink resource collides with the first type of report information to be transmitted on the allocated first uplink resource and in response to using the allocated first uplink resource for transmitting the first type of report information to notify the second communication node of the BLF, precluding transmission of the uplink reference signal.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the uplink reference signal comprises one of:

a demodulation reference signal (DMRS);

a channel sounding reference signal (SRS);

a random access sequence signal; and

an allocated dedicated sequence.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first uplink resource has a periodic characteristic and meets a time constraint.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first type of report information further carries at least one of following information:

indication information indicating whether a downlink reference signal associated with a time-frequency resource carrying the first type of report information is a beam;

identity information of a first communication node; or

a beam index.

5. The method of claim 4 , wherein

at least two types of downlink reference signals are renumbered using a uniform index.

6. The method of claim 5 , wherein the downlink reference signal comprises at least one of:

a synchronization signal; a DMRS; or a channel state information reference signal (CSI-RS).

7. The method of claim 6 , wherein the DMRS associated with the time-frequency resource carrying the first type of report information meets at least one of following conditions:

the DMRS is associated with a physical broadcast channel (PBCH); or

the DMRS is associated with a common control channel.

8. The method of claim 5 , wherein each type of the at least two types of downlink reference signals meets at least one of following conditions:

each type of the at least two types of downlink reference signals uses its own dedicated measurement threshold; or

each type of the at least two types of downlink reference signals uses its own dedicated report threshold.

9. An apparatus for reporting information, comprising: a processor and a memory, wherein the memory is configured to store computer programs executable on the processor;

wherein the processor is configured to, when executing the computer programs, perform steps in the method of claim 1 .

10. A computer readable storage medium, wherein computer programs are stored in the computer readable storage medium, and the computer programs, when executed by a processor, implement steps in the method of claim 1 .

11. A method for receiving information, comprising:

receiving a first type of report information transmitted from a first communication node through an allocated first uplink resource, wherein the first type of report information is at least used for notifying a second communication node of beam link failure (BLF); and

wherein when an uplink reference signal to be transmitted on a second uplink resource collides with the first type of report information to be transmitted on the allocated first uplink resource and in response to using the allocated first uplink resource for transmitting the first type of report information to notify the second communication node of the BLF, transmission of the uplink reference signal is precluded.

12. An apparatus for receiving information, comprising: a processor and a memory, wherein the memory is configured to store computer programs executable on the processor;

wherein the processor is configured to, when executing the computer programs, perform steps in the method of claim 11 .

13. A computer readable storage medium, wherein computer programs are stored in the computer readable storage medium, and the computer programs, when executed by a processor, implement steps in the method of claim 11 .

14. The method of claim 11 , wherein the uplink reference signal comprises one of:

a demodulation reference signal (DMRS);

a channel sounding reference signal (SRS);

a random access sequence signal; and

an allocated dedicated sequence.

15. An apparatus for reporting information, comprising:

a generation unit, which is configured to determine that a beam link failure (BLF) condition is true, and generate a first type of report information, wherein the first type of report information is at least used for notifying a second communication node of BLF; and

a first transmission unit, which is configured to transmit the first type of report information to the second communication node through an allocated first uplink resource;

wherein the first transmission unit is further configured to when an uplink reference signal to be transmitted on a second uplink resource collides with the first type of report information to be transmitted on the allocated first uplink resource and in response to using the allocated first uplink resource for transmitting the first type of report information to notify the second communication node of the BLF, preclude transmission of the uplink reference signal.
