Abstract

Disclosed are a power control method, a first communication node and a second communication node. The power control method includes: configuring, by a first communication node, an association between a power control parameter and reference signal information; and configuring or indicating, by the first communication node, a reference signal of a transmission for a second communication node, so that the second communication node determines a power control parameter of the transmission according to the reference signal of the transmission and the association.

Claims (37)

1. A power control method, comprising:

configuring, by a first communication node, an association between at least one first power control parameter for uplink transmission and sounding reference signal information; and

sending, by the first communication node, an indication indicating a sounding reference signal of the uplink transmission to a second communication node,

wherein the indication and the association are used by the second communication node to determine at least one second power control parameter for the uplink transmission, and

wherein for a non codebook based transmission, the association is between the first power control parameter and combinations of a plurality of sounding reference signal resource resources, and

wherein the at least one first power control parameter comprises an open-loop power control parameter, a path loss measurement parameter, and a closed-loop power control process index.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the sounding reference signal is configured for determining a precoding matrix of the transmission.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the sounding reference signal information comprises at least one of: at least one sounding reference signal resource index, or at least one sounding reference signal resource combination index.

4. The method of claim 1 , further comprising configuring, by the first communication node, a sounding reference signal resource set including a plurality of sounding reference signal resources.

5. A power control method, comprising:

receiving, by a second communication node from a first communication node, an association between at least one first power control parameter for uplink transmission and sounding reference signal information;

receiving, by the second communication node from the first communication node, an indication indicating a sounding reference signal; and

determining, by the second communication node, at least one second power control parameter for the uplink transmission according to the indication and the association,

wherein for a non codebook based transmission, the association yields a mapping between the first power control parameter and combinations of a plurality of sounding reference signal resources, and

wherein the at least one first power control parameter comprises an open-loop power control parameter, a path loss measurement parameter, and a closed-loop power control process index.

6. The method of claim 5 , wherein the sounding reference signal is configured for determining a precoding matrix of the transmission.

7. The method of claim 5 , wherein the sounding reference signal information comprises at least one of: at least one sounding reference signal resource index, or at least one sounding reference signal resource combination index.

8. A first communication node, comprising:

a processor coupled with memory, configured to:

configure an association between at least one first power control parameter for uplink transmission and sounding reference signal information; and

send an indication indicating a sounding reference signal of the uplink transmission to a second communication node,

wherein the indication and the association are used by the second communication node to determine at least one second power control parameter for the uplink transmission, and

wherein for a non codebook based transmission, the association is between the first power control parameter and combinations of a plurality of sounding reference signal resources and

wherein the at least one first power control parameter comprises an open-loop power control parameter, a path loss measurement parameter, and a closed-loop power control process index.

9. The first communication node of claim 8 , wherein the sounding reference signal is configured for determining a precoding matrix of the transmission.

10. The first communication node of claim 8 , wherein the sounding reference signal information comprises at least one of: at least one sounding reference signal resource index, or at least one sounding reference signal resource combination index.

11. The first communication node of claim 8 , wherein the processor is further configured to configure a sounding reference signal resource set including a plurality of sounding reference signal resources.

12. A second communication node, comprising:

a processor coupled with memory, configured to:

receive, from a first communication node, an association between at least one first power control parameter for uplink transmission and sounding reference signal information;

receive, from the first communication node, an indication indicating sounding reference signal; and

determine a second power control parameter for the uplink transmission according to the indication and the association,

wherein for a non codebook based transmission, the association is between the first power control parameter and combinations of a plurality of sounding reference signal resources, and

wherein the at least one first power control parameter comprises an open-loop power control parameter, a path loss measurement parameter, and a closed-loop power control process index.

13. The second communication node of claim 12 , wherein the sounding reference signal is configured for determining a precoding matrix of the transmission.

14. The second communication node of claim 12 , wherein the sounding reference signal information comprises at least one of: at least one sounding reference signal resource index, or at least one sounding reference signal resource combination index.

15. The second communication node of claim 12 , wherein a sounding reference signal resource set includes the plurality of sounding reference signal resources.
