An information element processing apparatus, comprising a processor and a computer-readable storage medium, wherein the computer-readable storage medium stores an instruction, and the processor, in executing the instruction, is configured to:
- acquire quasi co-location information of a first-type information element according to quasi co-location information of a second-type information element in a case where a time interval between control information for scheduling the first-type information element and the first-type information element is less than a predetermined threshold and a predetermined condition is satisfied,
- wherein the predetermined condition comprises first group information corresponding to the first-type information element and second group information corresponding to the second-type information element being the same;
- wherein the first-type information element and the second-type information element at least partially overlap in time domain.
