Abstract

A method for wireless communication includes that: a terminal device detects M downlink control channels using N groups of search spaces or N groups of control resource sets (CORESETs), N being an integer greater than or equal to 2, and M being an integer greater than or equal to 2, and different groups of search spaces or different groups of CORESETs are used for detecting different downlink control channels. Further, a terminal device is also provided.

Claims (52)

1. A method for wireless communication, comprising:

detecting, by a terminal device, M downlink control channels using N groups of control resource sets (CORESETs),

wherein N is an integer greater than or equal to 2, M is an integer greater than or equal to 2, and different groups of CORESETs are used for detecting different downlink control channels,

wherein the method further comprises:

receiving, by the terminal device, first information from a network device,

wherein the first information indicates a CORESET group to which a first CORESET belongs, through at least one of: whether the first information carries a specific field, or a value of the specific field of the first information; and

wherein the first information is carried in radio resource control (RRC) signaling.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein M is equal to N, and the N groups of CORESETs are in one-to-one correspondences with the M downlink control channels.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first information is used for configuring configuration information of the first CORESET.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein at least one of the following applies:

the M downlink control channels are used for uplink scheduling; or

the M downlink control channels are used for downlink scheduling.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the M downlink control channels are transmitted through a single carrier.

6. A terminal device, comprising:

a transceiver, configured to detect M downlink control channels using N groups of control resource sets (CORESETs),

wherein N is an integer greater than or equal to 2, M is an integer greater than or equal to 2, and different groups of CORESETs are used for detecting different downlink control channels,

wherein the transceiver is further configured to:

receive first information from a network device,

wherein the first information indicates a CORESET group to which a first CORESET belongs, through at least one of: whether the first information carries a specific field, or a value of the specific field of the first information; and

wherein the first information is carried in radio resource control (RRC) signaling.

7. The terminal device of claim 6 , wherein M is equal to N, and the N groups of CORESETs are in one-to-one correspondences with the M downlink control channels.

8. The terminal device of claim 6 , wherein the first information is used for configuring configuration information of the first CORESET.

9. The terminal device of claim 6 , wherein at least one of the following applies:

the M downlink control channels are used for uplink scheduling; or

the M downlink control channels are used for downlink scheduling.

10. The terminal device of claim 6 , wherein the M downlink control channels are transmitted through a single carrier.

11. A method for wireless communication, comprising:

detecting, by a network device, M downlink control channels using N groups of control resource sets (CORESETs),

wherein N is an integer greater than or equal to 2, M is an integer greater than or equal to 2, and different groups of CORESETs are used for detecting different downlink control channels,

wherein the method further comprises:

transmitting, by the network device, first information to a terminal device,

wherein the first information indicates a CORESET group to which a first CORESET belongs, through at least one of: whether the first information carries a specific field, or a value of the specific field of the first information; and

wherein the first information is carried in radio resource control (RRC) signaling.

12. The method of claim 11 , wherein M is equal to N, and the N groups of CORESETs are in one-to-one correspondences with the M downlink control channels.

13. The method of claim 11 , wherein the first information is used for configuring configuration information of the first CORESET.

14. The method of claim 11 , wherein at least one of the following applies:

the M downlink control channels are used for uplink scheduling; or

the M downlink control channels are used for downlink scheduling.

15. The method of claim 11 , wherein the M downlink control channels are transmitted through a single carrier.

16. A network device, comprising:

a transceiver, configured to detect M downlink control channels using N groups of control resource sets (CORESETs),

wherein N is an integer greater than or equal to 2, M is an integer greater than or equal to 2, and different groups of CORESETs are used for detecting different downlink control channels,

wherein the transceiver is further configured to:

transmit first information to a terminal device,

wherein the first information indicates a CORESET group to which a first CORESET belongs, through at least one of: whether the first information carries a specific field, or a value of the specific field of the first information; and

wherein the first information is carried in radio resource control (RRC) signaling.

17. The network device of claim 16 , wherein M is equal to N, and the N groups of CORESETs are in one-to-one correspondences with the M downlink control channels.

18. The network device of claim 16 , wherein the first information is used for configuring configuration information of the first CORESET.

19. The network device of claim 16 , wherein at least one of the following applies:

the M downlink control channels are used for uplink scheduling; or

the M downlink control channels are used for downlink scheduling.

20. The network device of claim 16 , wherein the M downlink control channels are transmitted through a single carrier.
