Abstract

An information determination method includes: receiving, by a terminal device, first configuration information sent by a network device, wherein the first configuration information is used for configuring at least one CSI-RS resource group and used for indicating a first offset for the at least one CSI-RS resource group, each CSI-RS resource group comprises P number of CSI-RS resources, the at least one CSI-RS resource group is used for determining a first signal, and the first signal occupies Q number of slots, P and Q being integers greater than or equal to 2; receiving, by the terminal device, first indication information sent by the network device, wherein the first indication information is used for triggering the terminal device to receive the first signal; and receiving, by the terminal device in response to the first indication information, the first signal according to the first configuration information.

Claims (14)

1. An information determining method, the method comprising:

receiving, by a terminal device, first configuration information sent by a network device, wherein the first configuration information is used for configuring at least one Channel State Information Reference Signal (CSI-RS) resource group and used for indicating a first offset for the at least one CSI-RS resource group, each CSI-RS resource group comprises four CSI-RS resources, the at least one CSI-RS resource group is used for determining a first signal, wherein the first signal is an Aperiodic CSI-RS for Tracking, and the first signal occupies two slots;

receiving, by the terminal device, first indication information sent by the network device, wherein the first indication information is used for triggering the terminal device to receive the first signal; and

determining, by the terminal device in response to the first indication information, a first slot n according to the first offset, and determining a second slot n+1 based on the first slot n, the first offset being indicative of an offset between a slot at which the first indication information is located and the first slot n, where n is an integer greater than or equal to 0; and

receiving, by the terminal device according to a position sequence of the four CSI-RS resources in the first configuration information of the at least one CSI-RS resource group, the first signal on the first slot n and the second slot n+1, wherein first two CSI-RS resources of the four CSI-RS resources are in the first slot n and latter two CSI-RS resources of the four CSI-RS resources are in the second slot n+1, wherein the first configuration information is radio resource control (RRC) signaling, the position sequence of the four CSI-RS resources in the RRC signaling is ordered by CSI-RS resource identifiers such that a first CSI-RS resource is prior to a third CSI-RS resource and a fourth CSI-RS resource, and a second CSI-RS resource is prior to the third CSI-RS resource and the fourth CSI-RS resource.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the terminal device uses the first signal for tracking or synchronization of at least one of timing and frequency.

3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the first configuration information is further used for configuring a first indication parameter corresponding to the at least one CSI-RS resource group, the first indication parameter is used for indicating use of the at least one CSI-RS resource group.

4. The method according to claim 3 , wherein the first indication parameter is a parameter trs-Info.

5. A terminal device, comprising:

a transceiver, configured to receive first configuration information sent by a network device, wherein the first configuration information is used for configuring at least one Channel State Information Reference Signal (CSI-RS) resource group and used for indicating a first offset for the at least one CSI-RS resource group, each CSI-RS resource group comprises four CSI-RS resources, the at least one CSI-RS resource group is used for determining a first signal, wherein the first signal is an Aperiodic CSI-RS for Tracking, and the first signal occupies two slots,

wherein the transceiver is further configured to receive first indication information sent by the network device, the first indication information is used for triggering the terminal device to receive the first signal; and

the transceiver is further configured to determine, in response to the first indication information, a first slot n according to the first offset, determine a second slot n+1 based on the first slot n, the first offset being indicative of an offset between a slot at which the first indication information is located and the first slot n, where n is an integer greater than or equal to 0, and receive, according to a position sequence of the four CSI-RS resources in the first configuration information of the at least one CSI-RS resource group, the first signal on the first slot n and the second slot n+1, wherein first two CSI-RS resources of the four CSI-RS resources are in the first slot n and latter two CSI-RS resources of the four CSI-RS resources are in the second slot n+1, and wherein the first configuration information is radio resource control (RRC) signaling, the position sequence of the four CSI-RS resources in the RRC signaling is ordered by CSI-RS resource identifiers such that a first CSI-RS resource is prior to a third CSI-RS resource and a fourth CSI-RS resource, and a second CSI-RS resource is prior to the third CSI-RS resource and the fourth CSI-RS resource.

6. The terminal device according to claim 5 , wherein the first configuration information is further used for configuring a first indication parameter corresponding to the at least one CSI-RS resource group, the first indication parameter is used for indicating use of the at least one CSI-RS resource group.

7. The terminal device according to claim 6 , wherein the first indication parameter is a parameter trs-Info.
