Abstract

The present disclosure relates to electronic device, communication method and storage medium in a wireless communication system. There is provided an electronic device on user device side, comprising a processing circuitry configured to: receive, from a control device, configuration on an association between a first reference signal and a second reference signal; receive, from the control device, an indication for the first reference signal; and in response to the indication for the first reference signal, implement reception of a third reference signal by using spatial reception parameters for the second reference signal based on the association between the first reference signal and the second reference signal.

Claims (28)

1. An electronic device on user device side, comprising:

a processing circuitry configured to:

receive, from a control device in radio resource control (RRC) layer signaling, configuration on an association between a first reference signal and a second reference signal;

receive, from the control device in a medium access control (MAC) control element (CE) activation command, a transmission configuration indication (TCI) state indication for the first reference signal; and

in response to the MAC CE activation command for the first reference signal, implement one of transmission or reception of a third reference signal by using one or more parameters of Doppler shift, Doppler spread, average delay or delay spread for the second reference signal based on the association between the first reference signal and the second reference signal.

2. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein implementing the one of transmission or reception of the third reference signal by using one or more parameters of Doppler shift, Doppler spread, average delay or delay spread for the second reference signal comprises determining one or more parameters of Doppler shift, Doppler spread, average delay or delay spread for the third reference signal by using the one or more parameters of Doppler shift, Doppler spread, average delay or delay spread for the second reference signal so as to implement the one of transmission or reception of the third reference signal.

3. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein a port of the second reference signal and a port of the third reference signal have a Quasi Co-Located (QCL) relationship with respect to one or more parameters of Doppler shift, Doppler spread, average delay or delay spread.

4. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the association between the first reference signal and the second reference signal includes a QCL relationship between the first reference signal and the second reference signal.

5. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the association between the first reference signal and the second reference signal is implemented by a QCL relationship between the first reference signal and a fourth reference signal and a QCL relationship between the fourth reference signal and the second reference signal.

6. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the first reference signal includes any of a synchronization signal/physical broadcast channel block (SSB) signal or a channel state information reference signal (CSI-RS).

7. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the second reference signal includes any of a synchronization signal/physical broadcast channel block (SSB) signal or a channel state information reference signal (CSI-RS), and the third reference signal includes demodulation reference signal (DMRS).

8. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the first reference signal is a channel state indication reference signal (CSI-RS), the second reference signal is a synchronization signal block (SSB), and the third reference signal is a demodulation reference signal (DMRS).

9. An electronic device on control device side, comprising:

a processing circuitry configured to:

send, to a user device in radio resource control (RRC) layer signaling, configuration on an association between a first reference signal and a second reference signal; and

send, to the user device in a medium access control (MAC) control element (CE) activation command, a transmission configuration indication (TCI) state indication for the first reference signal;

wherein in response to the MAC CE activation command for the first reference signal, the user device implements one of transmission or reception of a third reference signal by using one or more parameters of Doppler shift, Doppler spread, average delay or delay spread for the second reference signal based on the association between the first reference signal and the second reference signal.

10. The electronic device of claim 9 , wherein a port of the second reference signal and a port of the third reference signal have a Quasi Co-Located (QCL) relationship with respect to one or more parameters of Doppler shift, Doppler spread, average delay or delay spread.

11. The electronic device of claim 9 , wherein the association between the first reference signal and the second reference signal includes a QCL relationship between the first reference signal and the second reference signal.

12. The electronic device of claim 9 , wherein the first reference signal is a channel state indication reference signal (CSI-RS), the second reference signal is a synchronization signal block (SSB), and the third reference signal is a demodulation reference signal (DMRS).

13. A method performed by an electronic device on user device side, the method comprising:

receiving, from a control device in radio resource control (RRC) layer signaling, configuration on an association between a first reference signal and a second reference signal;

receiving, from the control device in a medium access control (MAC) control element (CE) activation command, a transmission configuration indication (TCI) state indication for the first reference signal; and

in response to the MAC CE activation command for the first reference signal, implementing one of transmission or reception of a third reference signal by using one or more parameters of Doppler shift, Doppler spread, average delay or delay spread for the second reference signal based on the association between the first reference signal and the second reference signal.

14. A method performed by an electronic device on control device side, the method comprising:

sending, to a user device in radio resource control (RRC) layer signaling, configuration on an association between a first reference signal and a second reference signal; and

sending, to the user device in a medium access control (MAC) control element (CE) activation command, a transmission configuration indication (TCI) state indication for the first reference signal;

wherein in response to the MAC CE activation command for the first reference signal, the user device implements one of transmission or reception of a third reference signal by using one or more parameters of Doppler shift, Doppler spread, average delay or delay spread for the second reference signal based on the association between the first reference signal and the second reference signal.
