Generally, traditional communication systems support a limited number of connections and are easy to implement. However, with the development of communication technology, mobile communication systems will not only support traditional communication, but also support, for example, Device to Device (D2D) communication, Machine to Machine (M2M) communication, Machine Type Communication (MTC), Vehicle to Vehicle (V2V) communication and Vehicle to everything (V2X) system, etc. The embodiments of the present disclosure can also be applied to these communication systems.

FIG.2shows a flowchart of an information determination method provided by an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, applied to the terminal device and the network device as shown inFIG.1. The method includes at least part of the following contents.

At step201, a network device transmits first Downlink Control Information (DCI) to a terminal device.

At step202, the terminal device receives the first DCI transmitted by the network device.

The first DCI includes configuration information for the terminal device, and the terminal device may configure based on the first DCI after receiving the configuration information.

The first DCI includes indication information indicating whether an antenna port field exists.

In addition, the network device can configure, for the terminal device, a quantity of bits of the antenna port field included in the first DCI. The quantity of bits in the antenna port field takes at least two values including 0 and a value greater than 0, such as 0, 2, 3, 4, or 5 bits.

When the quantity of bits in the antenna port field is 0, it indicates that no antenna port field exists.

For example, if the first DCI is DCI format 0_2, the information in the first DCI indicates that no antenna port field exists.

At step203, when no antenna port field exists in a format of the first DCI, the terminal device determines a first Demodulation Reference Signal (DMRS) port used for transmission scheduled by the first DCI, and/or a first antenna port used for transmission scheduled by the first DCI.

When the quantity of bits of the antenna port field included in the first DCI received by the terminal device is 0, the terminal device determines that no antenna port field exists. Then, the terminal device can determine the first DMRS port used for the transmission scheduled by the first DCI, and/or determine the first antenna port used for the transmission scheduled by the first DCI.

The terminal device determining the first DMRS port, and/or determining the first antenna port, includes three cases.1. The terminal device determines the first DMRS port.2. The terminal device determines the first antenna port.3. The terminal device determines the first DMRS port and the first antenna port.

In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the first DMRS port used for transmission scheduled by the first DCI can be understood as the DMRS port used in the process of data transmission scheduled by the first DCI, and the DMRS port is a DMRS port number used for calculating, generating, or determining DMRS reference signals in the transmission process. The first antenna port used for transmission scheduled by the first DCI can be understood as the antenna port used for data transmission scheduled by the first DCI, and the antenna port is an antenna port number used for physical layer signal transmission.

It should be noted that, the present disclosure is only described by taking an example where the network device transmits the first DCI to the terminal device and it is determined that no antenna port field exists based on the first DCI format. In another example, steps201-202may not be performed, and the terminal device can determine that no antenna port field exists in other manners.

The embodiments of the present disclosure provide a new method for information determination applied in a terminal device. By determining, when no antenna port field exists in a format of DCI, a first DMRS port used for transmission scheduled by the first DCI, and/or a first antenna port used for transmission scheduled by the first DCI, the terminal device can communicate with the network device based on the determined DMRS port and/or antenna port, thus providing a solution for obtaining the DMRS port and the antenna port, preventing the situation in which the network device cannot distinguish information transmitted by multiple terminal devices, and ensuring the efficiency of communication.

In at least one embodiment based onFIG.2,FIG.3shows a flowchart of an information determination method provided by an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure. In this embodiment, step203can be replaced by step2031.

At step2031, the terminal device determines the first DMRS port, based on an identification of the terminal device and a quantity of orthogonal DMRS ports supported by the terminal device.

In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the terminal device determining the first DMRS port based on the identification and the quantity can be understood as the terminal device determining the port number of the first DMRS port based on the identification and the quantity.

The terminal device itself has a unique identification, and then the terminal device can determine the first DMRS port based on its own identification.

Since different terminal devices have different identifications, the first DMRS ports determined by different terminal devices based on the identifications are also different.

The identification of the terminal device may be Cell-Radio Network Temporary Identifier (C-RNTI), Configured Scheduling-RNTI (CS-RNTI), Modulation Coding Scheme Cell RNTI (MCS-C-RNTI), or other identifications.

In addition, the quantities of orthogonal DMRS ports supported by different terminal devices may be different.

The terminal device obtains the quantity of orthogonal DMRS ports supported by the terminal device, and then determines the first DMRS port based on the identification of the terminal device and the quantity. In addition, it also indicates that the first DMRS port is determined based on the identification of the terminal device and the quantity of orthogonal DMRS ports supported by the terminal device.

In a possible implementation, the terminal device obtains a maximum quantity of DMRS ports supported by the terminal device.

The terminal device can determine the first DMRS port, based on the identification of the terminal device and the maximum quantity of DMRS ports supported by the terminal device.

In a possible implementation, the terminal device determines the first DMRS port based on a remainder between the identification and the quantity.

The terminal device performs a modulo operation on the identification and the quantity to obtain the remainder between the identification and the quantity. The remainder is the first DMRS port adopted by the terminal device; that is, the port number of the first DMRS port is determined.

It also indicates that the first DMRS port is determined based on the remainder between the identification of the terminal device and the quantity of orthogonal DMRS ports supported by the terminal device.

For example, the identification obtained by the terminal device is 5, and the obtained quantity is 3. Because the remainder of 5 and 3 is 2, the value 2 is the first DMRS port.

In the method provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure, in the case of no an antenna port field existing, the terminal device can determine the first DMRS port based on the identification of the terminal device and the quantity of orthogonal DMRS ports supported by the terminal device. Since different terminal devices have different identification information, the first DMRS ports determined by different terminal devices are also different, so as to achieve the purpose that different terminal devices use different DMRS ports, thereby ensuring the efficiency of communication.

In at least one embodiment based onFIG.2,FIG.4shows a flowchart of an information determination method provided by an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure. In this embodiment, step203can be replaced by step2032.

At step2032, the terminal device determines the first DMRS port based on a first value and a quantity of orthogonal DMRS ports supported by the terminal device.

The first DCI is information transmitted by the network device to the terminal device. The first value is a value in a first information field in the first DCI.

The first information field may be any one of Hybrid Automatic Repeat request (HARQ) process number field, time domain resource assignment field, frequency domain resource assignment field and downlink assignment index field.

In addition, the steps for the terminal device to obtain the quantity of orthogonal DMRS ports supported by the terminal device are similar to those of step2031, which are not repeated here.

Based on the first value and the quantity of orthogonal DMRS ports supported by the terminal device, the terminal device may determine the first DMRS port. In addition, it also indicates that the first DMRS port is determined based on the first value and the quantity of orthogonal DMRS ports supported by the terminal device.

In a possible implementation, the terminal device determines the first DMRS port based on a remainder between the first value and the quantity of DMRS ports supported by the terminal device.

The terminal device performs a modulo operation on the first value and the quantity to obtain the remainder between the first value and the quantity. The remainder is the first DMRS port adopted by the terminal device; that is, the port number of the first DMRS port is determined. In addition, it also indicates that the first DMRS port is determined based on the remainder between the first value and the quantity of orthogonal DMRS ports supported by the terminal device.

For example, the process number of HARQ obtained by the terminal device is 9, and the quantity is 4. Because the remainder of 9 and 4 is 1, the value 1 is the first DMRS port.

According to the method provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure, in the case of no antenna port field existing, the terminal device can determine the first DMRS port based on the first value in the first information field in the first DCI and the quantity of orthogonal DMRS ports supported by the terminal device. Since first DCIs configured for different terminal devices are different and first values configured in the first information fields in different first DCIs are also different, the first DMRS ports determined by the terminal devices based on the first values are also different, so as to achieve the purpose that different terminal devices use different DMRS ports, thereby ensuring the efficiency of communication.

In at least one embodiment based onFIG.2,FIG.5shows a flowchart of an information determination method provided by an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure. In this embodiment, the information determination method further includes steps501-502, and step203is replaced by step2033.

At step502, the terminal device receives the first high-layer signaling.

At step2033, the terminal device determines an identification of the first DMRS port in the first high-layer signaling.

The first high-layer signaling includes the identification of the first DMRS port. When receiving the first high-layer signaling transmitted by the network device, the terminal device can obtain the identification of the first DMRS port included in the first high-layer signaling. In addition, the identification of the first DMRS port can be the port number identifying the first DMRS port.

It should be noted that, inFIGS.3to5, the terminal device determines the first DMRS port by itself, or the network device configures the first DMRS port for the terminal device. In another embodiment, when determining that no antenna port field exists, the terminal device determines the identification of the first DMRS port as an identification specified by a protocol. That is, the identification of the first DMRS port is specified by the protocol.

For example, when determining that no antenna port field exists, the terminal device can determine that the identification of the first DMRS port is the value 0 specified by the protocol.

In the method provided by the present disclosure, the terminal device receives the first high-layer signaling including the identification of the first DMRS port, and the terminal device can determine the identification of the first DMRS port from the first high-layer signaling. With the network device configuring the identification of the DMRS port for the terminal device, there is no need for the terminal device to determine the first DMRS port any more, which improves the flexibility of the system.

At step2034, the terminal device determines the first DMRS port based on a correspondence and the first antenna port.

The correspondence includes a correspondence between antenna ports and DMRS ports. Methods for determining the antenna port will be described in detail in the following embodiments.

The correspondence is a preconfigured correspondence. In addition, the correspondence may be stored in the terminal device, or the correspondence may be stored in a server.

When no antenna port field exists, the terminal device obtains the correspondence, and determines the DMRS port corresponding to the antenna port based on the correspondence. Then the determined DMRS port is the first DMRS port. In addition, it also indicates that the first DMRS port is determined based on the correspondence and the first antenna port.

In a possible implementation, the correspondence is a relationship table, and the relationship table includes the correspondence between antenna ports and DMRS ports.

When no antenna port field exists, the terminal device looks up the relationship table and determines the DMRS port corresponding to the first antenna port in the relationship table as the first DMRS port.

For example, the relationship table between antenna ports and DMRS ports may be as shown in Table 1.

TABLE 1Antenna portDMRS port00112233405162738495106117

For example, when the antenna port is 4, it can be determined that the first DMRS port is 0 by looking up Table 1.

In addition, it also indicates that the first DMRS port is determined based on the remainder between the identification of the first antenna port and the quantity of orthogonal DMRS ports supported by the terminal device.

For example, the identification of the first antenna port determined by the terminal device is 10, and the quantity of orthogonal DMRS ports supported by the terminal device is 3. Because the remainder of 10 and 3 is 1, the value 1 is the first DMRS port.

The specific method for determining the first antenna port by the terminal device will be described in subsequent embodiments.

In the method provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure, when no antenna port field exists, the terminal device can determine the first antenna port based on the identification of the terminal device and the quantity of antenna ports supported by the terminal device. Since different terminal devices have different identifications, first antenna ports determined by different terminal devices are also different, so as to achieve the purpose that different terminal devices configure different antenna ports, thereby ensuring the efficiency of communication.

According to the method provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure, when no antenna port field exists, the terminal device can determine the first antenna port based on the second value in the second information field in the first DCI and the quantity of antenna ports supported by the terminal device.
