Abstract

The present disclosure provides a processing method and apparatus for recovering a beam. The method includes: generating a first type of signaling comprising an index corresponding to a resource selected from a set of resources for a reference signal; transmitting the first type of signaling over a random access channel to a base station; assuming a Quasi Co-Location (QCL) relation between the selected resource and a downlink control channel, and the selected resource and a downlink data channel; receiving a second type of signaling carried in the downlink control channel using the assumed QCL relation between the selected resource and the downlink control channel, the second type of signaling further comprising an identification of the terminal device; and receiving a data transmission carried in the downlink data channel according to the QCL relation between the selected resource and the downlink data channel.

Claims (34)

1. A method for wireless communication, comprising:

generating, by a terminal device, a first type of signaling that comprises an index corresponding to a resource selected from a set of resources for a reference signal;

transmitting, by the terminal device, the first type of signaling over a random access channel to a base station, wherein the first type of signaling initiates a beam link recovery procedure;

assuming, by the terminal device, a Quasi Co-Location (QCL) relation between (1) the resource and a downlink control channel, and (2) the resource and a downlink data channel;

receiving, by the terminal device from the base station, a second type of signaling carried in the downlink control channel using the QCL relation between the resource and the downlink control channel, wherein the second type of signaling notifies that the base station has received the first type of signaling from the terminal device, the second type of signaling further comprising an identification of the terminal device; and

receiving, by the terminal device from the base station, a data transmission carried in the downlink data channel according to the QCL relation between the resource and the downlink data channel.

2. A method for wireless communication, comprising:

receiving, by a base station, a first type of signaling from a terminal device, the first type of signaling comprising an index corresponding to a resource selected from a set of resources for a reference signal, wherein there is a Quasi Co-Location (QCL) relation between (1) the resource and a downlink control channel and (2) the resource and a downlink data channel, and wherein the first type of signaling initiates a beam link recovery procedure;

transmitting, by the base station to the terminal device, a second type of signaling carried in the downlink control channel using the QCL relation between the resource and the downlink control channel notifying that the base station has received the first type of signaling from the terminal device, the second type of signaling further comprising an identification of the terminal device; and

performing, by the base station to the terminal device, a data transmission carried in the downlink data channel according to the QCL relation between the resource and the downlink data channel.

3. A device for wireless communication, comprising:

5. A non-transitory storage medium having code stored thereon, the code upon execution by a processor, causing the processor to implement a method that comprises:

generating, by a terminal device, a first type of signaling that comprises an index corresponding to a resource selected from a set of resources for a reference signal; and

transmitting, by the terminal device, the first type of signaling over a random access channel to a base station, wherein the first type of signaling initiates a beam link recovery procedure;

receiving, by the terminal device from the base station, a second type of signaling carried in the downlink control channel using the QCL relation between the resource and the downlink control channel, wherein the second type of signaling notifies that the base station has received the first type of signaling from the terminal device, the second type of signaling further comprising an identification of the terminal device; and

receiving, by the terminal device from the base station, a data transmission carried in the downlink data channel according to the QCL relation between the resource and the downlink data channel.

6. A non-transitory storage medium having code stored thereon, the code upon execution by a processor, causing the processor to implement a method that comprises:

receiving, by a base station, a first type of signaling from a terminal device, the first type of signaling comprising an index corresponding to a resource selected from a set of resources for a reference signal, wherein there is a Quasi Co-Location (QCL) relation between (1) the resource and a downlink control channel and (2) the resource and a downlink data channel, and wherein the first type of signaling initiates a beam link recovery procedure;

transmitting, by the base station to the terminal device, a second type of signaling carried in the downlink control channel using the QCL relation between the resource and the downlink control channel notifying that the base station has received the first type of signaling from the terminal device, the second type of signaling further comprising an identification of the terminal device; and

performing, by the base station to the terminal device, a data transmission carried in the downlink data channel according to the QCL relation between the resource and the downlink data channel.
