Abstract

The present application relates to a resource indication method, a terminal device, and a network device, the resource indication method comprising: a terminal device receives first indication information, which is used for indicating spatial relationship information corresponding to one or more physical uplink control channel configurations (PUCCH-configs); and the terminal device determines, according to the first indication information, at least one PUCCH-config corresponding to the spatial relationship information from among multiple PUCCH-configs. By using the embodiments of the present application, accurate resource indication can be implemented.

Claims (5)

1. A resource indication method, applied to a terminal device, comprising:

receiving, by the terminal device, a plurality of Physical Uplink Control Channel configurations (PUCCH-configs) from a network device; configuring, by the terminal device, a plurality of sets of PUCCH resources according to the plurality of PUCCH-configs; wherein each of the plurality of pieces of PUCCH-configs comprises at least one set of spatial relation information; receiving, by a terminal device, first indication information, wherein the first indication information is used for indicating spatial relation information corresponding to the plurality of PUCCH-configs; and determining, by the terminal device, at least one PUCCH-config, which corresponds to the spatial relation information, from the plurality of PUCCH-configs according to the first indication information; wherein PUCCH resource identities (PUCCH resource IDs) configured for different PUCCH-configs in the plurality of PUCCH-configs are different; wherein, the first indication information comprises a MAC CE, wherein the MAC CE carries more sets of spatial relation information respectively corresponding to more PUCCH resource IDs; and the terminal device determines the plurality of PUCCH-configs respectively corresponding to the more sets of spatial relation information according to a PUCCH resource ID in each PUCCH-config of the plurality of PUCCH-configs and the more PUCCH resource IDs corresponding to the more sets of spatial relation information.

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising: detecting, by the terminal device, a first Logical Channel Identity (LCID) that is a specified LCID; or, detecting, by the terminal device, a second LCID that corresponds to the MAC CE, and parsing, by the terminal device, the MAC CE based on the first type of PUCCH spatial relation activation/deactivation MAC CE format or the second type of PUCCH spatial relation activation/deactivation MAC CE format.

3. A terminal device, comprising: a receiver configured to receive a plurality of Physical Uplink Control Channel configurations (PUCCH-configs) from a network device, a processor is further configured to configure a plurality of sets of PUCCH resources according to the plurality of PUCCH-configs; wherein each of the plurality of PUCCH-configs comprises at least one set of spatial relation information; the receiver is further configured to receive first indication information, wherein the first indication information is used for indicating spatial relation information corresponding to the plurality of PUCCH-configs; and the processor configured to determine at least one PUCCH-config, which corresponds to the spatial relation information, from the plurality of PUCCH-configs according to the first indication information; wherein, PUCCH resource identities (PUCCH resource IDs) configured for different PUCCH-configs in the plurality of PUCCH-configs are different; wherein, the first indication information comprises a MAC CE, wherein the MAC CE carries more sets of spatial relation information respectively corresponding to more PUCCH resource IDs; and the processor is further configured to determine the plurality of PUCCH-configs respectively corresponding to the more sets of spatial relation information according to a PUCCH resource ID in each PUCCH-config of the plurality of PUCCH-configs and the more PUCCH resource IDs corresponding to the more sets of spatial relation information.

4. The terminal device of claim 3 wherein, the processor is further configured to detect a first Logical Channel Identity (LCID) that is a specified LCID; or, detect a second LCID that corresponds to the MAC CE, and parse the MAC CE based on the first type of PUCCH spatial relation activation/deactivation MAC CE format or the second type of PUCCH spatial relation activation/deactivation MAC CE format.
