Abstract
The embodiments of the present application provide a communication method, a terminal device and a network device, which can improve flexibility of the terminal device in monitoring downlink control information. The method includes that: a terminal device determines a target monitoring resource configured to monitor downlink control information; and the downlink control information is monitored on the target monitoring resource.
Claims16
A communication method, implemented by a terminal device, comprising:
- receiving information of a group of monitoring resources from a network device;
- determining a target monitoring resource configured to monitor downlink control information from the group of monitoring resources based on demands for opportunities for monitoring the downlink control information;
- and
- monitoring the downlink control information on the target monitoring resource;
- wherein the target monitoring resource comprises periodic time-domain resources and further comprises frequency-domain resources, periods of the periodic time-domain resources are monitoring periods, each of the monitoring periods comprises monitoring positions for monitoring the downlink control information, and each of the monitoring positions corresponds to a specific frequency-domain width or a whole system bandwidth, the periodic time-domain resources in the target monitoring resource are of a subframe granularity or a symbol granularity,
- wherein determining the target monitoring resource from the group of monitoring resources based on demands for opportunities for monitoring the downlink control information comprises:
- regulating a period and/or a monitoring position of a monitoring resource in the group of monitoring resources based on demands for opportunities for monitoring the downlink control information;
- and
- determining the regulated monitoring resource as the target monitoring resource,
- wherein the group of monitoring resources corresponds to a first basic parameter set,
- determining the target monitoring resource from the group of monitoring resources based on demands for opportunities for monitoring the downlink control information comprises:
- in response to that a second basic parameter set configured for the terminal device is the same as the first basic parameter set, determining the target monitoring resource in the group of monitoring resources;
- or
- in response to that the second basic parameter set configured for the terminal device is different from the first basic parameter set, determining another group of monitoring resources based on the group of monitoring resources and determining the target monitoring resource in the another group of monitoring resources.
