Abstract

This application provides a data transmission method and apparatus, to determine a TC-state used for data transmission and correctly receive downlink data, thereby improving data transmission efficiency. The method includes: receiving a first physical downlink control channel (PDCCH), where the first PDCCH is used to schedule a first physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH); receiving a downlink signal by using a first transmission configuration indicator state (TC-state); obtaining a time interval between the first PDCCH and the first PDSCH; and if the time interval is less than a preset threshold, obtaining the first PDSCH from the downlink signal.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the two default TCI-states are two TCI-states corresponding to a smallest TCI field value among TCI field values that correspond to two TCI-states.

3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the PDSCH is transmitted using a frequency in a frequency range (FR) 2.

4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein terminal capability information indicates that reception of the PDSCH using the two default TCI-states is supported.

5. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the method further comprises:

receiving second DCI, wherein the second DCI contains a second TCI field and the second TCI field has one or more second TCI field values; and

if a second time interval between the second DCI and a corresponding second PDSCH is less than the preset threshold, and each of the one or more second TCI field values corresponds to a single TCI-state, receiving the second PDSCH using a single default TCI-state.

6. The method according to claim 5 , wherein the single default TCI-state is an active TCI-state in a control resource set (CORESET) with a smallest index in one or more CORESETs that are monitored by a terminal device in a latest slot, and the latest slot is a slot in which the one or more CORESETs are monitored in an active bandwidth part (BWP) of a serving cell that schedules the second PDSCH.

7. The method according to claim 5 , wherein second terminal capability information indicates that reception of the second PDSCH using the two default TCI-states is not supported.

8. A method, comprising:

sending downlink control information (DCI), wherein the DCI contains a transmission configuration indicator (TCI) field, and the TCI field has one or more TCI field values; and

if a time interval between the DCI and a corresponding physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) is less than a preset threshold, at least one TCI field value of the one or more TCI field values corresponds to two transmission configuration indicator states (TCI-states), and at least one configured TCI-state for a serving cell of a PDSCH comprises quasi-co-location (QCL)-TypeD information, receiving the corresponding PDSCH using two default TCI-states, wherein the two default TCI-states are different.

9. The method according to claim 8 , wherein the two default TCI-states are two TCI-states corresponding to a smallest TCI field value among TCI field values that correspond to two TCI-states.

10. The method according to claim 8 , wherein the PDSCH is transmitted using a frequency in a frequency range (FR) 2.

11. The method according to claim 8 , wherein terminal capability information indicates that reception of the PDSCH using the two default TCI-states is supported.

12. The method according to claim 8 , wherein the method further comprises:

sending second DCI, wherein the second DCI contains a second TCI field and the second TCI field has one or more second TCI field values; and

if a second time interval between the second DCI and a corresponding second PDSCH is less than the preset threshold, and each of the one or more second TCI field values corresponds to a single TCI-state, sending the second PDSCH using a single default TCI-state.

13. The method according to claim 12 , wherein the single default TCI-state is an active TCI-state in a control resource set (CORESET) with a smallest index in one or more CORESETs that are monitored by a terminal device in a latest slot, and the latest slot is a slot in which the one or more CORESETs are monitored in an active bandwidth part (BWP) of a serving cell that schedules the second PDSCH.

14. An apparatus, wherein the apparatus is configured to:

receive downlink control information (DCI), wherein the DCI contains a transmission configuration indicator (TCI) field, and the TCI field has one or more TCI field values; and
