Abstract

A method of determining an offset indication includes: determining an offset of remaining minimum system information (RMSI) with respect to a synchronization signal block (SSB); determining a target association relationship between a value of offset indication information k ssb and a number of corresponding offset resource elements (REs); and determining a target k ssb based on the target association relationship and the offset.

Claims (38)

1. A method of determining an offset indication, performed by a base station, comprising:

determining an offset of remaining minimum system information (RMSI) with respect to a synchronization signal block (SSB);

determining a target association relationship between a value of offset indication information k ssb and a number of corresponding offset resource elements (REs), wherein the target association relationship comprises:

in response to determining that a subcarrier spacing of the RMSI is greater than a subcarrier spacing of the SSB, a ratio of the number of corresponding offset REs to the value of the offset indication information k ssb is equal to a quotient of the subcarrier spacing of the RMSI divided by the subcarrier spacing of the SSB; and

determining a target k ssb based on the target association relationship and the offset.

2. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising:

sending the SSB, wherein the SSB carries the target k ssb that is determined; and

sending the RMSI in accordance with the offset.

3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the target association relationship further comprises:

in response to determining that the subcarrier spacing of the RMSI is less than or equal to the subcarrier spacing of the SSB, a ratio of the number of corresponding offset REs to the value of the k ssb is 1.

4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein a low bound of a subcarrier spacing candidate set of the RMSI is greater than or equal to 240 KHz.

5. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the target association relationship is pre-stored the base station.

6. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the target association relationship is carried in the SSB, or carried in information that is sent by the base station to a terminal before sending the SSB.

7. The method according to claim 1 , wherein determining the target k ssb based on the target association relationship and the offset comprises:

determining, in response to communicating with a terminal in a target frequency range, the target k ssb based on the target association relationship and the offset.

8. The method according to claim 7 , wherein a low bound of the target frequency range is greater than 52.6 GHz.

9. A method of determining an offset, performed by a terminal, comprising:

determining a target association relationship between a value of offset indication information k ssb and a number of corresponding offset resource elements (REs), wherein the target association relationship comprises: in response to determining that a subcarrier spacing of remaining minimum system information (RMSI) is greater than a subcarrier spacing of a synchronization signal block (SSB), a ratio of the number of corresponding offset REs to the value of the offset indication information k ssb is equal to a quotient of the subcarrier spacing of the RMSI divided by the subcarrier spacing of the SSB; and

determining an offset of the RMSI with respect to the SSB based on a target k ssb that is received and the target association relationship.

10. The method according to claim 9 , further comprises:

receiving the SSB, wherein the target k ssb is carried by the SSB; and

receiving the RMSI based on the offset and the SSB.

11. The method according to claim 9 , wherein the target association relationship further comprises:

in response to determining that the subcarrier spacing of the RMSI is less than or equal to the subcarrier spacing of the SSB, a ratio of the number of corresponding offset REs to the value of the k ssb is 1.

12. The method according to claim 9 , wherein a low bound of a subcarrier spacing candidate set of the RMSI is greater than or equal to 240 KHz.

13. The method according to claim 9 , wherein the target association relationship is pre-stored in the terminal.

14. The method according to claim 9 , comprising:

acquiring the target association relationship from the SSB, or from information that is sent by a base station to the terminal before sending the SSB.

15. An electronic device, comprising:

one or more processors; and

a memory for storing instructions executable by the one or more processors;

wherein the one or more processors are configured to implement the method of determining an offset indication according to claim 1 .

16. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a computer program thereon, wherein the computer program, when executed by one or more processors, implements the method of determining an offset indication according to claim 1 .

17. An electronic device, comprising:

one or more processors; and

a memory for storing instructions executable by the one or more processors;

wherein the one or more processors are configured to implement the method of determining an offset according to claim 9 .

18. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a computer program thereon, wherein the program, when executed by one or more processors, implements the method of determining an offset according to claim 9 .
