Abstract

A method for receiving information, a method for sending information, a terminal and a network device are provided. The method for receiving information includes: receiving indication information, where the indication information is used for indicating at least one transmission configuration indicator TCI state of a demodulation reference signal DMRS port on one or more resources allocated to the terminal; determining a correspondence between the at least one TCI state on the one or more resources and a code division multiplexing CDM group to which the DMRS port belongs; and receiving information according to the correspondence between the TCI state on the one or more resources and the CDM group to which the DMRS port belongs.

Claims (46)

receiving information according to the correspondence between the TCI state on the one or more resources and the CDM group to which the DMRS port belongs;

wherein the determining the correspondence between the at least one TCI state on the one or more resources and the CDM group to which the DMRS port belongs comprises:

determining that two TCI states on the one or more resources correspond to N CDM groups, where N is equal to 1;

wherein in a case that it is determined that two TCI states on the one or more resources correspond to one CDM group, the determining the correspondence between the two TCI states and the CDM group to which the DMRS port belongs comprises:

on each resource of the one or more resources, the CDM group corresponding to one TCI state of the two TCI states;

wherein on each resource of the one or more resources, the CDM group corresponding to one TCI state of the two TCI states comprises:

in a case that at least two time domain resources are allocated to the terminal, the correspondence between the one CDM group and the TCI states is associated with serial numbers of mini slots or slots, one TCI state of the two TCI states is used for mini slots or slots with one type of serial number, and different TCI states are used for mini slots or slots with different types of serial numbers.

2. The method for receiving information according to claim 1 , wherein the CDM group corresponding to one TCI state of the two TCI states comprises:

in a case that at least two resources are allocated to the terminal, then on each resource of the at least two resources, the CDM group corresponds to one TCI state of the two TCI states.

3. The method for receiving information according to claim 1 , wherein in a case that it is determined that two TCI states on the one or more resources correspond to 2 or 3 CDM groups, the determining the correspondence between the at least one TCI state and the CDM group to which the DMRS port belongs comprises:

receiving signaling and determining the correspondence between the two TCI states and the 2 or 3 CDM groups according to the signaling; determining the correspondence between the two TCI states and the 2 or 3 CDM groups.

4. A method for sending information, comprising:

sending indication information, wherein the indication information is used for indicating at least one transmission configuration indicator (TCI) state of a demodulation reference signal (DMRS) port on one or more resources allocated to a terminal; and

sending information to the terminal, wherein the terminal receives the information according to a determined correspondence between the at least one TCI state on the one or more resources and a code division multiplexing (CDM) group to which the DMRS port belongs;

wherein the correspondence between the at least one TCI state on the one or more resources and the CDM group to which the DMRS port belongs comprises:

two TCI states on the one or more resources correspond to N CDM groups, where N is equal to 1;

wherein in a case that two TCI states on the one or more resources correspond to one CDM group, the correspondence between the two TCI states and the CDM group to which the DMRS port belongs comprises:

on each resource of the one or more resources, the CDM group corresponding to one TCI state of the two TCI states

wherein on each resource of the one or more resources, the CDM group corresponding to one TCI state of the two TCI states comprises:

in a case that at least two time domain resources are allocated to the terminal, the correspondence between the one CDM group and the TCI states is associated with serial numbers of mini slots or slots, one TCI state of the two TCI states is used for mini slots or slots with one type of serial number, and different TCI states are used for mini slots or slots with different types of serial numbers.

5. The method for sending information according to claim 4 , wherein the CDM group corresponding to one TCI state of the two TCI states comprises:

in a case that at least two resources are allocated to the terminal, then on each resource of the at least two resources, the CDM group corresponds to one TCI state of the two TCI states.

6. The method for sending information according to claim 4 , further comprising:

in a case that two TCI states on the one or more resources correspond to 2 or 3 CDM groups, sending signaling to the terminal, wherein the signaling is used for indicating the correspondence between the two TCI states on the one or more resources and the 2 or 3 CDM groups.

7. A terminal, comprising: a processor, a transceiver and a memory, wherein the memory stores a program executable by the processor, and the processor, when executing the program, performs the following steps:

receiving indication information, wherein the indication information is used for indicating at least one transmission configuration indicator (TCI) state of a demodulation reference signal (DMRS) port on one or more resources allocated to the terminal;

determining a correspondence between the at least one TCI state on the one or more resources and a code division multiplexing (CDM) group to which the DMRS port belongs; and

receiving information according to the correspondence between the TCI state on the one or more resources and the CDM group to which the DMRS port belongs;

wherein the determining the correspondence between the at least one TCI state on the one or more resources and the CDM group to which the DMRS port belongs comprises:

determining that two TCI states on the one or more resources correspond to N CDM groups, where N is equal to 1;

wherein in a case that it is determined that two TCI states on the one or more resources correspond to one CDM group, the determining the correspondence between the two TCI states and the CDM group to which the DMRS port belongs comprises:

on each resource of the one or more resources, the CDM group corresponding to one TCI state of the two TCI states;

wherein on each resource of the one or more resources, the CDM group corresponding to one TCI state of the two TCI states comprises:

in a case that at least two time domain resources are allocated to the terminal, the correspondence between the one CDM group and the TCI states is associated with serial numbers of mini slots or slots, one TCI state of the two TCI states is used for mini slots or slots with one type of serial number, and different TCI states are used for mini slots or slots with different types of serial numbers.
