Abstract

The present disclosure discloses a method and a device for wireless communications in a UE and a base station. A first node transmits a first signal; and monitors a first-type signaling in a first resource block in a first time window. The first signal is used for determining a first reference signal; the first node assumes a QCL parameter identical to a target reference signal for monitoring the first-type signaling in the first resource block in the first time window; the target reference signal is either the first reference signal or a second reference signal; whether the first time window belongs to a first-type time window is used for determining the target reference signal between the first reference signal and the second reference signal. The method provided above raises the chance of a node being served and resource utilization ratio in Unlicensed Spectrum.

Claims (22)

1 . A method for use by a user equipment (UE), the method comprising:

monitoring in a PDCCH for a first downlink control information (DCI) in a first search space set in a first time window in a first sub-band of a first serving cell;

receiving, the first DCI from a first transmission reception point (TRP), the first DCI indicating a control resource set (CORESET) type of index and a serving cell type of index;

monitoring in the PDCCH for a second DCI in a second search space set in a second time window in the first sub-band, the monitoring for the second DCI based on the received first DCI and the indicated CORESET type of index and the serving cell type of index;

monitoring in the PDCCH for a third DCI in a target search space set in a third time window in a second sub-band of a second serving cell;

wherein any one of the first search space set, the second search space set and the target search space correspond to the CORESET type index and a search space set type of index; and

determining the target search space set type of index aligns with an index of the second search space set in response to the CORESET type index for the first search space set and the second search space set being equal and the search space set type of index for the first search space set and the second search space set being unequal.

2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the CORESET type index comprises a CORESETPoolIndex.

3 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the CORESET type index comprises a CORESET-ID.

4 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the search space set type of index comprises a search space sets group index, or is 0, or 1 or 2.

5 . A user equipment (UE) comprising:

a receiver; and

a processor in communication with the receiver, wherein the receiver and the processor are configured to:

monitor in a PDCCH for a first downlink control information (DCI) in a first search space set in a first time window in a first sub-band of a first serving cell;

receive, the first DCI from a first transmission reception point (TRP), the first DCI indicating a control resource set (CORESET) type of index and a serving cell type of index;

monitor in the PDCCH for a second DCI in a second search space set in a second time window in the first sub-band, the monitoring for the second DCI based on the received first DCI and the indicated CORESET type of index and the serving cell type of index;

monitor in the PDCCH for a third DCI in a target search space set in a third time window in a second sub-band of a second serving cell;

wherein any one of the first search space set, the second search space set and the target search space correspond to the CORESET type index and a search space set type of index; and

determine the target search space set type of index aligns with an index of the second search space set in response to the CORESET type index for the first search space set and the second search space set being equal and the search space set type of index for the first search space set and the second search space set being unequal.

6 . The UE of claim 5 , wherein the CORESET type index comprises a CORESETPoolIndex.

7 . The UE of claim 5 , wherein the CORESET type index comprises a CORESET-ID.

8 . The UE of claim 5 , wherein the search space set type of index comprises a search space sets group index, or is 0, or 1 or 2.
