Abstract

A resource determining method includes: determining a time-domain resource for a target signal according to a target time interval. The target time interval includes at least one of a first time interval, a second time interval, or a third time interval. The first time interval is a time interval between a power-saving signal and a PDCCH associated with the power-saving signal. The second time interval is a time interval between the power-saving signal and a first signal. The third time interval is a time interval between the PDCCH associated with the power-saving signal and the first signal. The first signal is a signal used for downlink synchronization or RRM measurement or beam management. The target signal includes at least one of the power-saving signal or the first signal.

Claims (41)

1 . A resource determining method, comprising:

sending, by a terminal device, capability information of the terminal device to a network side device, the capability information comprising a time interval between a power saving signal and a Discontinuous Reception (DRX) OnDuration at which a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) may be located;

receiving, by the terminal device, a target time interval from the network side device; and

determining, by the terminal device, a time-domain resource for the power-saving signal according to the target time interval;

wherein:

the target time interval comprises a first time interval between the power-saving signal and a DRX OnDuration at which the PDCCH may be located;

the first time interval or the time interval comprises at least two different time intervals;

the two different time intervals correspond to a first scenario and a second scenario respectively;

the first scenario is that a bandwidth part (BWP) where the power-saving signal is located is different from a BWP where a PDCCH associated with the power-saving signal is located;

the second scenario is that a BWP where the power-saving signal is located is the same as a BWP where the PDCCH associated with the power-saving signal is located; and

the PDCCH associated with the power-saving signal is the PDCCH located at the DRX OnDuration.

2 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the target time interval is configured by the network side device based on the capability information of the terminal device.

3 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the power-saving signal is a signal transmitted on a PDCCH or a sequence-based signal.

4 . The method according to claim 3 , wherein the sequence-based signal comprises one of the following: a channel state information reference signal (CSI-RS), a primary synchronization signal (PSS), a secondary synchronization signal (SSS), a tracking reference signal (TRS), and a demodulation reference signal (DMRS).

5 . A resource determining method, comprising:

receiving, by a network side device, capability information of a terminal device from the terminal device, the capability information comprising a time interval between a power-saving signal and a DRX OnDuration at which a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) may be located; and

sending, by the network side device, a target time interval to the terminal device;

wherein:

the target time interval comprises a first time interval between the power-saving signal and a DRX OnDuration at which the PDCCH may be located;

the first time interval or the time interval comprises at least two different time intervals;

the two different time intervals correspond to a first scenario and a second scenario respectively;

the first scenario is that a bandwidth part (BWP) where the power-saving signal is located is different from a BWP where a PDCCH associated with the power-saving signal is located;

the second scenario is that a BWP where the power-saving signal is located is the same as a BWP where the PDCCH associated with the power-saving signal is located; and

the PDCCH associated with the power-saving signal is the PDCCH located at the DRX OnDuration.

6 . The method according to claim 5 , wherein the target time interval is determined according to the capability information of the terminal device.

7 . The method according to claim 5 , wherein the power-saving signal is a signal transmitted on a PDCCH or a sequence-based signal.

8 . The method according to claim 7 , wherein the sequence-based signal comprises one of the following: a channel state information reference signal (CSI-RS), a primary synchronization signal (PSS), a secondary synchronization signal (SSS), a tracking reference signal (TRS), and a demodulation reference signal (DMRS).

9 . A network side device, comprising a processor, a memory, and a computer program that is stored in the memory and executable on the processor, wherein the computer program, when executed by the processor, causes the network side device to perform the method according to claim 5 .

10 . A terminal device, comprising a processor, a memory, and a computer program that is stored in the memory and executable on the processor, wherein the computer program, when executed by the processor, causes the terminal device to perform:

sending capability information of the terminal device to a network side device, the capability information comprising a time interval between a power saving signal and a Discontinuous Reception (DRX) OnDuration at which a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) may be located;

receiving a target time interval from the network side device; and

determining a time-domain resource for the power-saving signal according to the target time interval;

wherein:

the target time interval comprises a first time interval between the power-saving signal and a DRX OnDuration at which the PDCCH may be located;

the first time interval or the time interval comprises at least two different time intervals;

the two different time intervals correspond to a first scenario and a second scenario respectively;

the first scenario is that a bandwidth part (BWP) where the power-saving signal is located is different from a BWP where a PDCCH associated with the power-saving signal is located;

the second scenario is that a BWP where the power-saving signal is located is the same as a BWP where the PDCCH associated with the power-saving signal is located; and

the PDCCH associated with the power-saving signal is the PDCCH that may be located at the DRX OnDuration.

11 . The terminal device according to claim 10 , wherein the power-saving signal is a signal transmitted on a PDCCH or a sequence-based signal.

12 . The terminal device according to claim 11 , wherein the sequence-based signal comprises one of the following: a channel state information reference signal (CSI-RS), a primary synchronization signal (PSS), a secondary synchronization signal (SSS), a tracking reference signal (TRS), and a demodulation reference signal (DMRS).
