Abstract

A processing method, user equipment, and a network-side device are provided. The method includes: when there is no explicitly configured beam failure detection reference signal or radio link monitoring reference signal, and there is a first reference signal on a first bandwidth part, determining a determination criterion for beam failure detection actions or radio link monitoring actions of UE; and determining a beam failure detection action or a radio link monitoring action of the UE based on the determination criterion; where, the first reference signal is a reference signal whose QCL type is a specified type in a reference signal set, the reference signal set is indicated by a transmission configuration indication state of a physical downlink control channel on a control resource set on a second bandwidth part, and the second bandwidth part is in an active state.

Claims (29)

1. A processing method, applied to user equipment (UE), wherein the method comprises:

when there is no explicitly configured beam failure detection reference signal or radio link monitoring reference signal, and there is a first reference signal on a first bandwidth part, determining a determination criterion for beam failure detection actions or radio link monitoring actions of the UE; and

determining a beam failure detection action or a radio link monitoring action of the UE based on the determination criterion; wherein

the first reference signal is a reference signal whose quasi-co-location (QCL) type is a specified type in a reference signal set, the reference signal set is indicated by a transmission configuration indication state of a physical downlink control channel on a control resource set on a second bandwidth part, and the second bandwidth part is in an active state;

wherein the determining a beam failure detection action or a radio link monitoring action of the UE based on the determination criterion comprises any one of the following:

if the first bandwidth part is different from the second bandwidth part, ceasing to detect whether a beam failure or a radio link failure has occurred on the physical downlink control channel on the control resource set on the second bandwidth part;

if there is a reference signal whose QCL type is an unspecified type in the reference signal set, and the reference signal with the unspecified type is on the second bandwidth part, using the reference signal with the unspecified type on the second bandwidth part as a beam failure detection reference signal or a radio link monitoring reference signal; and

if the first bandwidth part and the second bandwidth part belong to different cells or carriers, detecting whether a beam failure or a radio link failure has occurred on the physical downlink control channel on the control resource set on the second bandwidth part by monitoring the first reference signal on the first bandwidth part.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the reference signal with the unspecified type is a tracking reference signal (TRS).

3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the specified type is type D.

4. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising:

when beam failure detection reference signals or radio link monitoring reference signals are explicitly configured, during beam failure detection or radio link monitoring, monitoring only a beam failure detection reference signal or a radio link monitoring reference signal in spatial QCL with the physical downlink control channel on the control resource set on the second bandwidth part.

5. User equipment, comprising: a processor, a memory, and a computer program that is stored in the memory and capable of running on the processor, wherein when the computer program is executed by the processor, the processor implements:

when there is no explicitly configured beam failure detection reference signal or radio link monitoring reference signal, and there is a first reference signal on a first bandwidth part, determining a determination criterion for beam failure detection actions or radio link monitoring actions of the UE; and

determining a beam failure detection action or a radio link monitoring action of the UE based on the determination criterion; wherein

the first reference signal is a reference signal whose quasi-co-location (QCL) type is a specified type in a reference signal set, the reference signal set is indicated by a transmission configuration indication state of a physical downlink control channel on a control resource set on a second bandwidth part, and the second bandwidth part is in an active state;

wherein the determining a beam failure detection action or a radio link monitoring action of the UE based on the determination criterion comprises any one of the following:

if the first bandwidth part is different from the second bandwidth part, ceasing to detect whether a beam failure or a radio link failure has occurred on the physical downlink control channel on the control resource set on the second bandwidth part;

if there is a reference signal whose QCL type is an unspecified type in the reference signal set, and the reference signal with the unspecified type is on the second bandwidth part, using the reference signal with the unspecified type on the second bandwidth part as a beam failure detection reference signal or a radio link monitoring reference signal; and

if the first bandwidth part and the second bandwidth part belong to different cells or carriers, detecting whether a beam failure or a radio link failure has occurred on the physical downlink control channel on the control resource set on the second bandwidth part by monitoring the first reference signal on the first bandwidth part.

6. The user equipment according to claim 5 , wherein the reference signal with the unspecified type is a tracking reference signal (TRS).

7. The user equipment according to claim 5 , wherein the specified type is type D.

8. The user equipment according to claim 5 , wherein when the computer program is executed by the processor, the processor further implements:

when beam failure detection reference signals or radio link monitoring reference signals are explicitly configured, during beam failure detection or radio link monitoring, monitoring only a beam failure detection reference signal or a radio link monitoring reference signal in spatial QCL with the physical downlink control channel on the control resource set on the second bandwidth part.

9. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium, wherein the computer-readable storage medium stores a computer program, and when the computer program is executed by a processor, the steps of the processing method according to claim 1 are implemented.

10. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium according to claim 9 , wherein the reference signal with the unspecified type is a tracking reference signal (TRS).

11. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium according to claim 9 , wherein the specified type is type D.

12. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium according to claim 9 , when the computer program is executed by a processor, the processor further implements:

when beam failure detection reference signals or radio link monitoring reference signals are explicitly configured, during beam failure detection or radio link monitoring, monitoring only a beam failure detection reference signal or a radio link monitoring reference signal in spatial QCL with the physical downlink control channel on the control resource set on the second bandwidth part.
