In the LTE system, in order to reduce interference of uplink transmission of a terminal device to a network device, uplink power control is adopted. Specifically, for a Physical Uplink Shared Channel (PUSCH), the terminal device calculates the transmission power on the subframe i and the serving cell c based on the following formula (1):

Similarly, for a Physical Sidelink Shared Channel (psch), the terminal device calculates the transmit power based on the following equation (2):

The power control method is applied to low frequency band scenes (such as 2GHz or 3GHz and below). Since in the low-range scenario the terminal device transmits signals omnidirectionally, i.e. the transmit power of the terminal device appears to be the same in the side-link and cellular-link communication directions. However, with the development of communication, high-frequency-based side link communication is also an important scenario and may even be a main scenario, for example, in a future 5G communication system, a high-frequency-based side link communication technology may be researched. Due to the channel model based on high-frequency communication, the antenna transceiving modes of the terminal devices of the network devices are different. Therefore, the conventional power control method cannot adapt to high-frequency-based side link communication, and thus cannot effectively reduce interference to the cellular link.

In order to solve the above problem, an embodiment of the present invention provides a method for power control. The terminal equipment measures signals sent by the network equipment based on different beam directions, and then different measurement results are obtained. The terminal device determines the transmit power on its side link based on these measurements. For example, based on these measurement results, an adjustment amount is added based on the above formula (2). When calculating the path loss, the path loss in the above formula (2) can be obtained from a plurality of measurement results. The method provided by the embodiment of the invention can effectively solve the power control problem of high-frequency-based side link communication and effectively reduce uplink interference.

Fig. 4 is a flow chart illustrating a method of determining transmit power. The embodiment shown in fig. 4 comprises the following steps.

S400, the network device sends the beam configuration information to the first terminal device, and the first terminal device receives the beam configuration information sent by the network device.

Specifically, the beam configuration information includes configuration information of M beam directions, or includes configuration information of a beam direction set, where the beam direction set includes M beam directions, and M is a positive integer, such as M ═ 1, 2, 3, and so on.

Specifically, in the high-frequency-based communication process, the first terminal device may adopt beamforming to improve the quality of the communication link.

Further, the beam configuration information includes first beam direction configuration information, where the first beam direction is a beam direction used by the first terminal device on a side link, and the side link is a communication link between the first terminal device and the second terminal device. Specifically, the configuration information includes identification information for identifying the first beam direction, or includes identification information of a reference signal for identifying the first beam direction.

Further, the first beam direction may be a beam direction used by the first terminal device to transmit signals on the side link or a beam direction used to receive signals on the side link.

Further, optionally, the beam configuration information further includes second beam direction configuration information, and a direction of the second beam is different from a direction of the first beam. For example, the second beam direction is a beam direction used when the first terminal device communicates with the network device, that is, the second beam direction is a cellular link communication direction. Specifically, the configuration information includes identification information for identifying the second beam direction, or includes identification information of a reference signal for identifying the second beam direction.

Further, the second beam direction may be a beam direction used by the first terminal device to transmit signals on the cellular link or a beam direction used to receive signals on the cellular link.

Further, optionally, the beam configuration information further includes N third beam direction configuration information, where any one of the N third beam directions is different from the first beam direction. For example, one of the third beam directions is a beam direction used on a communication link between the first terminal device and a third terminal device, and the third terminal device is a terminal device different from the second terminal device, or the third terminal device is a virtual terminal device, and is only used to describe the third beam direction. The other third beam direction is a beam direction used on a communication link between the first terminal device and a fourth terminal device, where the fourth terminal device is a terminal device different from the second terminal device, or the fourth terminal device is a virtual terminal device, and is only used to describe the third beam direction. The beam direction used on the communication link between the first terminal device and the fourth terminal device may be the same as or different from the beam direction used on the communication link between the first terminal device and the third terminal device, and the present invention is not limited thereto. The other third beam directions are similar and will not be described herein. Specifically, the configuration information includes identification information for identifying the N third beam directions, or includes identification information for identifying reference signals of the N third beam directions.

In one implementation, the beam configuration information (or referred to as beam direction set configuration information) includes information of the first beam direction.

Further, the beam configuration information further includes Measurement Quantity (Measurement Quantity) configuration information, and specifically, the Measurement Quantity may be at least one of the following items:

-Reference Signal Received Power (RSRP);

-Reference Signal Receiving Quality (RSRQ);

-Signal to interference noise Ratio (SINR);

-Reference Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI);

-second path loss (Pathloss).

Further, the network device sends radio resource configuration information to the terminal device to instruct the first terminal device to determine the transmission power on the resource included in the radio resource configuration information according to the power control parameter, and the corresponding terminal device receives the radio resource configuration information sent by the network device. For example, the radio resource configuration information includes resource pool 1 (or frequency band 1), and the method of the embodiment of the present invention is applied; the radio resource configuration information does not include a resource pool 2 (or a frequency band 2), and the direction of the prior art is applied; the radio resource configuration information includes a resource pool 3 (or a frequency band 3), and the method of the embodiment of the present invention is applied, but configuration information different from the resource pool 1 is used (for example, corresponding to the resource pool 1, the first beam direction in the beam configuration information is a side link transmission beam direction, and corresponding to the resource pool 3, the first beam direction in the beam configuration information is a side link reception beam direction, or the measurement quantity is different, or the number of included beam directions is different, and the present invention is not limited).

Further, the network device sends subcarrier interval configuration information to the terminal device, where the subcarrier interval configuration information includes at least one subcarrier interval to instruct the first terminal device to determine the transmission power on the first radio resource according to the power control parameter, where the first radio resource is a radio resource applying any one of the at least one subcarrier interval included in the subcarrier interval configuration information, and the corresponding terminal device receives the radio resource configuration information sent by the network device. Specifically, in the high-frequency-based side link communication process, different resources may adopt different subcarrier intervals, for example, a 15KHz subcarrier interval is adopted below 3GHz, a 30KHz subcarrier interval is adopted between 3GHz and 6GHz, and different power control methods may be applied to different subcarrier intervals. For example, the method of the embodiment of the invention is applied by adopting the resource of the 15KHz subcarrier; the method of the embodiment of the present invention is applied to resources using 30KHz subcarriers, but configuration information different from the resources using 15KHz subcarriers is used (for example, corresponding to the resources using 15KHz subcarriers, the first beam direction in the beam configuration information is the side link transmission beam direction, and the resources using 30KHz subcarriers, the first beam direction in the beam configuration information is the side link reception beam direction, or the measurement amount is different, or the number of included beam directions is different, and so on).

Further, the beam configuration information may be sent through Radio Resource Control (RRC) signaling, and further, may be sent through dedicated RRC signaling or broadcast message, which is not limited in the present invention. The beam configuration information may also be sent through Media Access Control (MAC) signaling, or physical layer signaling, or the beam configuration information may be sent in a combination of the above manners, that is, at this time, RRC signaling sends a part of configuration information, and/or MAC signaling sends a part of configuration information, and/or physical layer signaling sends a part of configuration information, and the present invention is not limited thereto.

The operation of sending in this step may be implemented by the transceiver 202 of any one of the network devices 101 to 102, or may be implemented by the controller/processor 201 of the network device 101 and the transceiver 202 together.

The operation of receiving in this step may be implemented by the transceiver 301 of any one of the terminal devices 111 to 114, or may be implemented by the modem processor 304 of any one of the terminal devices 111 to 114 together with the transceiver 301.

Alternatively, part or all of the beam configuration information of this step may be fixed in the protocol or determined by the first terminal device. If all of the beam configuration information is fixed in the protocol or determined by the first terminal device, the network device does not need to send to the first terminal device, nor does the first terminal device need to receive the beam configuration information from the network device, such as the first beam direction is fixed in the protocol, or the second beam direction is fixed in the protocol, etc. At this time, this step may be replaced by S400, and the terminal device obtains the beam configuration information, and the content included in the beam configuration information is the same as above, which is not described herein again. Accordingly, the operation obtained in this step is realized by the modem processor 304 of any one of the terminal devices 111 to 114.

S401, the first terminal device measures according to the beam configuration information to obtain a measurement result.

The signals transmitted by the network may include at least one of:

-Cell-specific Reference Signal (CRS);

-Channel State indicator Reference Signal (CSI-RS);

-a Synchronization Signal (SS);

-a Synchronization Signal Block (SSB);

-Demodulation Reference signal (DMRS).

Specifically, the first terminal device measures a signal sent by the network based on a first beam direction included in the beam configuration information, and obtains a first measurement result.

According to the difference of the measurement amount configured in the beam configuration information in S400, the first measurement result obtained by the terminal device is also different. Such as:

when the configured measurement quantity is RSRP, the first measurement result is RSRP (such as-70 dBm);

when the configured measurement quantity is RSRQ, the first measurement result is RSRQ (e.g., 20 dB);

when the configured measurement is RSSI, the first measurement is RSSI (e.g., -50 dBm);

when the configured measurement is path loss, the first measurement is a path loss value (e.g., 40dB), referred to herein as a second path loss.

Further, the first terminal device measures a signal sent by the network device based on a second beam direction included in the beam configuration information, and obtains a second measurement result.

According to the difference of the measurement amount configured in the beam configuration information in S400, the second measurement result obtained by the terminal device is also different. Such as:

Further, the first measurement result and the second measurement result are measurement results for the same measurement, such as both measurement results for RSRP or both measurement results for RSRQ.

Further, the first terminal device determines the difference between the first measurement result and the second measurement result, for example, by looking up a table, or by calculation, which is not limited in the present invention. For example, assume that the first measurement result is an Rsrp of a signal transmitted from the measurement network device based on the side link communication reception direction₁And the second measurement result is that the first terminal equipment measures Rsrp of the signal sent by the network equipment based on the cellular link communication receiving direction₂Then the difference D ═ Rsrp can be calculated₁-Rsrp₂. It will be appreciated that the difference may also be expressed as D ═ Rsrp₂-Rsrp₁Or the first two methods may be followed by taking the absolute value, and the invention is not limited.

Further, optionally, the first terminal device measures, based on N third beam directions included in the beam configuration information, signals sent by the network device, and obtains N third measurement results.

Further, the first terminal device calculates an average value of the N third measurement results. For example, assuming that the measurement result is a path loss, the first terminal device sums the path losses measured based on each beam direction, and then divides the sum by the number N of beam directions to obtain an equivalent path loss:

where i in subscript (i,3) is used to indicate a path loss for a third beam direction and 3 in subscript (i,3) is used to indicate a path loss measured based on the third beam direction, referred to herein as the first path loss.

Further, the first terminal device determines an arithmetic mean of the first measurement and the N third measurements,

where i in subscripts (i,3) is used to indicate a path loss for a third beam direction, 3 in subscripts (i,3) is used to indicate a path loss measured based on the third beam direction, and subscript (0, 1) is used to indicate a path loss measured based on the first beam direction, referred to herein as a first path loss.

Further, different beam directions may have different weights when calculating the equivalent path loss (or first path loss). The invention is not limited.

The operation of this step may be implemented by the transceiver 301 of any one of the terminal devices 111 to 114, or may be implemented by the modem processor 304 of any one of the terminal devices 111 to 114 together with the transceiver 301.

S402, the first terminal device sends the measuring result to the network device, and the network device receives the measuring result sent by the first terminal device.

In particular, the measurement result may comprise a first measurement result. For example, when the beam configuration information includes the first beam direction configuration information, the measurement result may include the first measurement result.

Further, the measurement result may include a second measurement result. For example, when the beam configuration information includes the second beam direction configuration information, the measurement result may include the second measurement result.

Further, the measurement results may include a first measurement result and a second measurement result.

Further, the measurement result may include a fourth measurement result, which is a difference between the first measurement result and the second measurement result.

Further, the measurement results may include measurement results measured based on the first beam direction and each of the N third beam directions.

Further, the measurement result may include a fifth measurement result that is an average of the measurement results measured based on the first beam direction and each of the N third beam directions.

Further, the terminal device sends the message through dedicated RRC signaling, system broadcast message, MAC layer signaling, or physical layer signaling, which is not limited in the present invention.

The operation of sending in this step may be implemented by the transceiver 301 of any one of the terminal devices 111 to 114, or may be implemented by the modem processor 304 of any one of the terminal devices 111 to 114 together with the transceiver 301.

The operation received in this step may be performed by the transceiver 202 of any one of the network devices 101-102, or may be performed by the controller/processor 201 of the network device 101 and the transceiver 202 together.

This step is optional.

S403, the network device determines a power control parameter according to the received measurement result.

Specifically, the power control parameter includes a power adjustment value X. The power adjustment value is generated by the network device according to the first measurement result reported by the first terminal device, or according to the first measurement result and the second measurement result, or according to the first measurement result and/or the N third measurement results reported by the first terminal device, so as to generate a power control parameter.

Further, the power control parameter includes an equivalent path loss (or a first path loss), where the equivalent path loss (or the first path loss) is determined by the network device according to N third measurement results reported by the first terminal device and when the measurement result is a path loss, where the method for determining the equivalent path loss is to determine the equivalent path loss

Where i in subscripts (i,3) is used to indicate a path loss for a third beam direction and 3 in subscripts (i,3) is used to indicate a path loss measured based on the third beam direction. Or, the equivalent path loss (or the first path loss) is determined by the network device according to the first measurement result and the N third measurement results reported by the first terminal device, and when the measurement result is the path loss, the method for determining the equivalent path loss is that

Where i in subscripts (i,3) is used to indicate path loss for a third beam direction, 3 in subscripts (i,3) is used to indicate path loss measured based on the third beam direction, and subscripts (0, 1) is used to indicate path loss measured based on the first beam direction.

Of course, the network device may also consider other factors such as cell load, interference, etc. when determining the equivalent path loss.

This step is optional.

The operations received in this step may be implemented by the controller/processor 201 and the transceiver 202 of any one of the network devices 101-102.

S404, the network device sends the power control parameter to the first terminal device, and the first terminal device receives the power control parameter sent by the network device.

Further, the network device sends the signaling through RRC signaling, MAC layer signaling, or physical layer signaling, which is not limited in the present invention.

The operation received in this step may be implemented by the transceiver 301 of any one of the terminal devices 111 to 114, or may be implemented by the modem processor 304 of any one of the terminal devices 111 to 114 together with the transceiver 301.

This step is optional.

S405, the first terminal equipment determines the side link transmitting power.

Specifically, the first terminal device determines the side link transmission power according to the power control parameter. The power control parameter comprises a power adjustment value X and/or the power control parameter comprises an equivalent path loss (or first path loss).

For example, after receiving the power adjustment value X, the first terminal device calculates the side link transmission power based on equation (2) and by adding X, see equation (3) below:

P_t＝min{P_CMAX,10log₁₀(M)+P_O+α·PL+X} (3)

wherein, P_tFor the side link transmit power, the transmit power,

wherein, P_CMAXFor maximum transmit power, M is the side link bandwidth, P_OIs a transmission power reference value or initial transmission power, alpha is a path loss compensation factor, and PL is a path loss.

As can be seen from equation (3), the edge link transmit power of the first terminal device may not exceed the maximum transmit power at maximum, i.e. the transmit power of the edge link is less than or equal to the maximum transmit power.

When calculating the PSSCH transmit power, equation (3) may be specifically:

P_PSSCH＝min{P_CMAX,PSSCH,10log₁₀(M_PSSCH)+P_{O_PSSCH,1}+α_PSSCH,1·PL+X}

further, if S402 and S403 are not present, the first terminal device determines the side link transmission power according to the first measurement result. For example, the first terminal device aligns its beam receiving direction with the direction of the sidelink, and then measures the signal quality of the downlink signal from the cellular link in this direction. The first terminal device can calculate the maximum transmitting power of the first terminal device on the side link according to the first measurement result and the receiving and transmitting power difference of the downlink on the cellular link.

For example, after the first terminal device determines the equivalent path loss, the PL is replaced by the equivalent path loss on the basis of the formula (2), so as to obtain a formula (4):

P_t＝min{P_CMAX,10log₁₀(M)+P_O+α·PL_eq} (4)

wherein, P_CMAXFor maximum transmit power, M is the side link bandwidth, P_OIs a reference value of transmission power or initial transmission power, alpha is a path loss compensation factor, PL_eqFor the equivalent path loss received from the network device, α is taken to be 1, or in equation (4), there is no α.

Further, if S402 and S403 are not present, the first terminal device determines the side link transmission power according to the first measurement result and the second measurement result. For example, the first terminal device determines a difference between the first measurement result and the second measurement result, where the power control parameter includes the difference, and superimposes the difference as the power adjustment value X in the formula (2), where the specific form is the same as that in the formula (3), and details are not described here. The result and meaning of the difference is also different for different measured quantities. Such as: when the measurement result is RSRP, since the first measurement result is usually smaller than the second measurement result based on different beam directions, according to the expression of formula (3), X should be positive, that is, based on formula (2), the side link transmission power can be increased by X dB, where X is RSRP₂-Rsrp₁. For another example, when the measurement result is a path loss, the first measurement result is usually larger than the second measurement result, so according to the expression of formula (3), X should be a positive value, and the side link transmit power can be increased by X dB appropriately, where X is the first measurement result — the second measurement result.

Further, if S402 and S403 are not included, the first terminal device determines the transmit power of the side link according to the difference between the first measurement result and the second measurement result. The specific method is described in the above paragraph, and is not described herein.

Further, if S402 and S403 are not included, the first terminal device determines the side link transmission power according to the antenna pattern of the first beam direction and the relative angle between the first beam direction and the second beam direction. For example, the first terminal device obtains the relative values of the antenna gains in the two beam directions according to the antenna pattern, and adds the relative values to the formula (2). The specific method is described in the above paragraph, and is not described herein.

Further, when the measurement quantity is the path loss, the first terminal device may further determine the first path loss value or the equivalent path loss value according to the N third measurement results (the path loss measured based on each third beam direction). Then, the terminal device obtains formula (4) based on formula (2). Alternatively, the first terminal device may determine the first path loss value or the equivalent path loss value according to the first measurement result and the N third measurement results (based on the path loss measured for each third beam direction). Then, the terminal device obtains formula (4) based on formula (2).

Wherein, P_CMAXFor maximum transmit power, M is the side link bandwidth, P_OIs a reference value of transmission power or initial transmission power, alpha is a path loss compensation factor, PL_eqFor equivalent path loss (or first path loss), PL_eqFor the second path loss value determined from the at least one measurement, α is taken to be 1, or in equation (4), α is absent.

For example, the first terminal device may take an arithmetic average of the N third measurement results, that is, sum the path loss measured based on each third beam direction, and then divide by the number of beam directions to obtain the equivalent path loss:

or the first terminal device may take an arithmetic average of the first measurement result and the N third measurement results to obtain the equivalent path loss:

the meanings of the variables are as described above and will not be described in detail.

Therefore, when calculating the psch transmit power, equation (4) may be specifically:

P_PSSCH＝min{P_CMAX,PSSCH,10log₁₀(M_PSSCH)+P_{O_PSSCH,1}+α_PSSCH,1·PL_eq} (4)

further, when the measurement quantity is the path loss, the first terminal device may further determine the first path loss or the equivalent path loss according to N third measurement results (the path loss measured based on each third beam direction), or according to the first measurement result and the N third measurement results. Then, the terminal device obtains formula (5) based on formula (3):

P_t＝min{P_CMAX,10log₁₀(M)+P_O+α·PL_eq+X} (5)

wherein, P_CMAXFor maximum transmit power, M is the side link bandwidth, P_OIs a reference value of transmission power or initial transmission power, alpha is a path loss compensation factor, PL_eqFor equivalent path loss, X is the power adjustment value.

The operation of this step can be realized by the modem processor 304 of any one of the terminal equipments 111 to 114.

Optionally, in this embodiment of the present invention, S401 and S405 may be implemented separately.

Optionally, in this embodiment of the present invention, S400, S401, and S405 may be implemented separately.

By executing the method of the embodiment of the invention, the terminal equipment or the terminal equipment and the network equipment can more accurately control the transmitting power of the side link based on the beam direction and reduce the interference to the cellular link; furthermore, the communication quality of the side link can be improved.

Optionally, the above embodiments may also be extended to a link between base stations. Specifically, the first to fourth terminal devices in the above embodiments may be replaced with first to fourth network devices, respectively. The first to fourth network devices may be a macro station and a macro station, a macro station and a small station, a small station and a small station, a main cell and a main cell, an auxiliary cell and an auxiliary cell, and a main cell and an auxiliary cell. The link between each network device is a backend (Backhaul) link. At this time, S401 and S405 in the above embodiment may be combined to be implemented separately, or S400, S401 and S405 in the above embodiment may be combined to be implemented separately. The invention is not limited.

In a 5G system, there are no cell reference signals (such as CRS). The synchronization signal ss (synchronization signal) is also transmitted in a beam manner in all directions, and the CSI-rs (channel State Information Reference signal) is also a Reference signal indicating only a specific beam direction. Therefore, for the UE, when receiving downlink Control information DCI (downlink Control information), it is necessary to know the amplitude of the symbol where the DCI information is located in advance, so that the UE can accurately adjust the Gain factor of the automatic Gain Control agc (automatic Gain Control) of the receiver, so that the demodulation of the DCI has the maximum signal-to-Noise ratio (snr).

In order to solve the above problem, an embodiment of the present invention provides a method. The method comprises the steps of configuring a reference signal RS of a QCL (Quasi-registration) Quasi-co-located with DCI to be received by a UE, and determining a transmission power deviation value between the RS and the DCI according to the type of the DCI or the stage of a connection network where the UE is located. The terminal UE determines the optimal gain control factor for receiving DCI according to the power offset and the detected signal strength of the RS, so as to achieve the best SNR of the UE receiver.

The embodiment of the invention specifically comprises the following steps:

s501, the network equipment determines the power deviation value between the transmission DCI and the reference signal RS.

Specifically, the RS may be an SS for synchronization, a CSI-RS for measurement, or a trs (tracking RS) for time synchronization. The invention is not limited thereto

Specifically, the network device determines a power offset value between the DCI and the reference signal RS according to the type of the DCI. The downlink control information DCI can be divided into two types. The first type of downlink control information includes any one of the following: indicating downlink control information of system messages, indicating downlink control information of random access response, and indicating downlink control information of paging messages. The second type downlink control information includes any one of the following: downlink control information indicating user-specific data, downlink control information indicating a group of users in common, wherein the downlink control information in common to the group of users comprises any one of: downlink control information indicating resource preemption; indicating downlink control information of a time slot format; and downlink control information indicating the power control indication information. Downlink control information common to a group of these users is sent to a group of UEs. The group of UEs may be in similar regions in spatial direction or have the same transmission characteristics. And scrambling the downlink control information by using the corresponding Radio Network Temporary Identifier (RNTI) of the different types of downlink control information. For example: downlink control information indicating resource preemption can use interrupt-RNTI (INT-RNTI) to perform CRC scrambling on DCI; the downlink control information indicating the time Slot Format can use a time Slot Format Indicator RNTI (Slot Format Indicator RNTI, SFI-RNTI) to perform CRC scrambling on the DCI; the downlink Control information indicating the Power Control indication information may use a Transmission Power Control physical Uplink Shared Channel (TPC-PUSCH-RNTI), or TPC-PUCCH-RNTI or TPC-SRS-RNTI to perform CRC scrambling on the DCI. In another example, the UE-specific downlink control information can be used for CRC scrambling of DCI by using UE-specific C-RNTI or CS-RNTI(s) or TC-RNTI or SP-CSI-RNTI.

Possible reasons for classifying DCI into two categories include: before establishing rrc (radio Resource control) connection, the UE can only receive the first type of downlink control information but cannot receive the second type of downlink control information. Another reason is that: the beam transmitting direction of the first type of downlink control information is usually broadcast or not directed to a user in a specific direction, and the beam is wider; the beam transmitting direction of the second type of downlink control information is usually multicast or unicast, which points to users in a specific direction, and the beam is narrower. The antenna gain for the transmission direction of the narrower beam is stronger and therefore the transmission power above it may be different from DCI with the wider beam direction. For these two reasons, it is necessary to indicate the power difference between the downlink control information and the reference signal to the UE from different channels according to different types of downlink control information or connection phases in which the UE is located. For example: if the UE is before RRC establishment, the UE cannot receive the power difference between the downlink control information and the reference signal through an RRC message. Conversely, after the UE establishes the RRC connection, the RRC message may be used to indicate the power difference between the downlink DCI and the RS.

It can be understood that the above RS is to have QCL relationship with DCI to be able to be used for automatic gain control adjustment by the receiver of the UE. The QCL relationships include: the transmitting beam directions of the two RSs are the same, or the same receiving beam can be used for receiving the two RSs, or one or more of the channel parameters of the two RSs are determined to be the same. The physical significance of the method is as follows: the DCI and the RS are transmitted from the same or similar spatial direction or experience the same or similar spatial transmission channel, so that the DCI and the RS do not affect the UE to see them as signals transmitted from the same direction equivalently.

The operations of this step are performed by the controller/processor 201 of any one of the network devices 101-102.

S502, the network equipment sends the DCI and RS power difference information to the terminal equipment. The terminal device receives power difference information between the DCI and the RS from the network device.

Specifically, the network device notifies the power difference information between the DCI of the first type and the RS through a System information block 1 (SIB 1). The power difference information between the DCI transmitted by the SIB1 and the RS may be determined in a protocol predefined manner, and accordingly, the terminal device determines the optimal gain control factor for receiving the DCI using the protocol predefined power difference information.

Further, when SIB1 also indicates the power difference between DCI and RS, predefined information is covered using the information in SIB 1. That is, the UE determines the power difference between the DCI indicating the SIB1 and the RS or determines the power difference between the DCI indicating the first type DCI and the RS with reference to the indication information in the SIB 1.

Optionally, the power difference between the Downlink DCI and the RS may be defined based on the transmission power of a symbol where a physical Downlink Control channel (pdcch) of the DCI is located and the transmission power of a symbol where the RS is located, or may be defined by using the power difference between the transmission power of a subcarrier where the Downlink DCI is located and the transmission power of a subcarrier where the RS is located. The invention is not limited in this regard. In general, because the bandwidth between the RS and the DCI is different, the number of bits used may be defined using the power difference over the subcarriers.

Further, the network device notifies the power difference information between the second type DCI and the RS through a dedicated RRC message.

Because the beam width occupied by the first type of DCI is wider than that occupied by the second type of DCI, the power difference between the first type of control information and the RS is smaller. Fewer bits can be used to indicate the power difference between the first type DCI and the RS, thereby achieving the purpose of reducing air interface signaling. Further, since the power difference between the first type DCI and the RS is indicated in the system message, it is also important to reduce overhead of the system message in terms of transmission efficiency of the network, and thus fewer bits may be used to indicate the power difference between the first type DCI and the RS.

S503, the terminal equipment determines the power control factor of the received DCI and receives the DCI. Specifically, the terminal device determines a gain control factor for receiving the downlink DCI according to the received signal strength of the reference signal, the DCI type, and the power deviation between the downlink DCI and the RS, and receives the DCI according to the gain control factor. For example, the UE receives the RS first, the fluctuation range of the obtained signal power range is [ -50, -80] dBm, and the DCI power is 5dB higher than the RS, so the UE can know that the fluctuation range of the downlink DCI signal is [ -45, -75] dBm. The UE can thus determine a gain factor for the proper AGC for the reception of DCI, so as to obtain a quantized value after Analog-to-Digital Converter ADC (Analog-to-Digital Converter) of the good DCI, thereby obtaining the best received SNR of the DCI. On the contrary, if the UE does not know the power difference between the downlink DCI and the RS, the UE may set an incorrect gain factor of the AGC, thereby causing a decrease in the received SNR. As in the above example, if the gain range of the received DCI is still tuned to the same [ -50, -80] dBm as that of the received RS, the signal of the DCI of the signal quantized by the ADC will be lost 5dB from the actual signal. This is a need to be avoided and circumvented as much as possible in wireless communication systems.

The operation received in this step may be implemented by the modem processor 304 of any one of the terminal devices 111 to 114, or may be implemented by the modem processor 304 of any one of the terminal devices 111 to 114 together with the transceiver 301.

By the method, the terminal equipment can better receive the DCIs of different types according to the more accurate determination of the gain control factors of the first DCI and the second DCI. Meanwhile, the system signaling overhead can be effectively reduced.
