Abstract
A method for indicating a synchronization block includes: determining a beam to be sent; generating indication information, wherein the indication information comprises the number of beam packets, and an identifier for indicating whether each beam, except the beam to be sent, of each beam packet for sending a synchronization signal block (SSB) sends an SSB; and sending, to a user equipment, an SSB and indication information corresponding to the beam to be sent.
Claims16
A method for synchronization block indication, applying to a base station, the method comprising:
- determining a to-be-sent beam;
- generating indication information, the indication information comprising a number of groups of beams and an identifier, the identifier identifying whether a Synchronization Signal Block (SSB) is sent for a beam other than the to-be-sent beam in a group of beams for which an SSB is sent;
- and
- sending, to User Equipment (UE), the indication information and the SSB for the to-be-sent beam.
A method for synchronization block determination, applying to User Equipment (UE), the method comprising:
- receiving, from a base station, a Synchronization Signal Block (SSB) sent for a to-be-sent beam and indication information, the indication information comprising a number of groups of beams and an identifier, the identifier identifying whether an SSB is sent for a beam other than the to-be-sent beam in a group of beams for which an SSB is sent;
- acquiring a Time Indication (TI) by parsing the SSB sent for the to-be-sent beam, and determining a location of the SSB in a group of beams including the SSB according to the TI and the number of groups of beams;
- and
- inserting, at the location in the group of beams including the SSB, an identifier identifying that the SSB is sent for the to-be-sent beam, and determining the SSB sent by the base station according to the inserted identifier and the identifier identifying whether an SSB is sent for a beam other than the to-be-sent beam in the group of beams including the SSB.
A base station, comprising a processor and memory,
- wherein the memory is adapted to storing an instruction executable by the processor,
- wherein the processor is adapted to:
- determining a to-be-sent beam;
- generating indication information, the indication information comprising a number of groups of beams and an identifier, the identifier identifying whether a Synchronization Signal Block (SSB) is sent for a beam other than the to-be-sent beam in a group of beams for which an SSB is sent;
- and
- sending, to User Equipment (UE), the indication information and the SSB for the to-be-sent beam.
