Abstract

A power control method and apparatus are disclosed. The method is applied to a terminal that has a capability of supporting a configuration with a plurality of control resource set pool indexes and/or that is configured with the plurality of control resource set pool indexes. The method includes receiving a first physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) sent by a network device, where the first PDCCH carries a power offset corresponding to a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH). The method further includes determining a transmit power based on a power control process corresponding to the network device, where the power control process is used for accumulating power offsets indicated by the network device, and determining the transmit power for the PUSCH based on an accumulation result. The method further includes sending the PDCCH to the network device at the transmit power.

wherein before the determining the transmit power based on the power control process corresponding to the network device, the method further comprises:

receiving a second PDCCH sent by the network device, wherein the second PDCCH carries indication information of the power control process, the indication information indicates that there is a correspondence between the power control process and a CORESET pool corresponding to the second PDCCH, and the second PDCCH and the first PDCCH correspond to the same CORESET pool.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein there is a correspondence between the power control process and a CORESET pool corresponding to the first PDCCH.

3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the indication information of the power control process is a sounding reference signal resource indicator (SRI), and there is a correspondence between a value of the SRI and an index of the power control process.

4. The method according to claim 3 , wherein there is a correspondence between the value of the SRI and a power control parameter set used in the power control process.

5. The method according to claim 1 , wherein before the determining the transmit power based on the power control process corresponding to the network device, the method further comprises:
