Abstract
A communication method includes: determining, by a network side device, at least two pieces of target sub-configuration information according to a co-location rule, where at least two target signals corresponding to the at least two pieces of target sub-configuration information are quasi co-located; and sending, by the network side device, the at least two pieces of target sub-configuration information to the terminal device according to the co-location rule.
Claims14
A communication method, comprising:
- determining, by a network side device, whether at least two signals are quasi co-located;
- determining, by the network side device, based on whether the at least two signals are quasi co-located, a manner of sending configuration information to a terminal device, wherein:
- in case the at least two signals are not quasi co-located, the determined manner of sending configuration information to the terminal device includes separately adding sub-configuration information to at least two pieces of configuration information and separately sending the at least two pieces of configuration information to the terminal device;
- and
- in case the at least two signals are quasi co-located, the determined manner of sending configuration information to the terminal device includes sending one piece of configuration information to the terminal device, wherein the one piece of configuration information includes at least two pieces of sub-configuration information corresponding to the at least two signals;
- and
- sending, by the network side device, the configuration information to the terminal device according to the determined manner of sending the configuration information to the terminal device.
A communication method, comprising:
- receiving, by a terminal device, configuration information from a network side device;
- and
- determining, by the terminal device, whether at least two signals are quasi co-located based on a manner in which the configuration information was received, wherein:
- the at least two signals are determined as not being quasi co-located in case the configuration information is received as at least two separate pieces of configuration information from the network side device, wherein the at least two separate pieces of configuration information have sub-configuration information added thereto;
- and
- the at least two signals are determined as being quasi co-located in case the configuration information is received as one piece of configuration information comprising at least two pieces of sub-configuration information corresponding to the at least two signals.
A communication device, comprising a processor and a non-transitory memory having instructions stored thereon, wherein the instructions, when executed by the processor, facilitate:
- determining whether at least two signals are quasi co-located;
- determining, based on whether the at least two signals are quasi co-located, a manner of sending configuration information to a terminal device, wherein:
- in case the at least two signals are not quasi co-located, the determined manner of sending configuration information to the terminal device includes separately adding sub-configuration information to at least two pieces of configuration information and separately sending the at least two pieces of configuration information to the terminal device;
- and
- in case the at least two signals are quasi co-located, the determined manner of sending configuration information to the terminal device includes sending one piece of configuration information to the terminal device, wherein the one piece of configuration information includes at least two pieces of sub-configuration information corresponding to the at least two signals;
- and
- sending the configuration information to the terminal device according to the determined manner of sending the configuration information to the terminal device.

- and
- the at least two signals are determined as being quasi co-located in case the configuration information is received as one piece of configuration information comprising at least two pieces of sub-configuration information corresponding to the at least two signals.
