First embodiment
Referring to fig. 2, fig. 2 is a flowchart of a method for resuming data transmission according to an embodiment of the present invention, and as shown in fig. 2, the method includes the following steps:
step 201, if a communication link of a high-frequency beam for service transmission between a terminal and a network side node is abnormal, the terminal receives a trigger signaling indicating at least one beam set sent by the network side node.
In this embodiment of the present invention, the high frequency beam may be a beam higher than a certain frequency threshold, for example: it may be a beam with a frequency between 6GHz and 100GHz, but of course, it may also be a beam with other frequencies, for example: 1GHz or 3GHz or 5GHz, etc. It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present invention, specific frequencies of the high-frequency beam are not limited, and the high-frequency beam should be understood as a high-frequency beam understood by those skilled in the art. The high-frequency beam may be a beam having a lobe narrower than a lobe threshold, and similarly, the embodiment of the present invention is not limited to this lobe threshold.
The high-frequency beam for performing service transmission between the terminal and the network-side node may be a high-frequency beam for currently transmitting a service between the terminal and the network-side node, for example: the beams carrying 5G network traffic. The communication link abnormality of the high-frequency beam may be an abnormality affecting service transmission in a communication link established between the terminal and the network side node on the high-frequency beam, for example: communication link is broken, transmission quality is reduced, signal strength is reduced, and other abnormalities affecting service transmission.
In case of an abnormal communication link, the terminal receives the trigger signaling sent by the network side node, where the trigger signaling indicates at least one beam set, where each beam set includes at least one beam, and the beams included in the beam sets may be high-frequency beams or low-frequency beams, including both high-frequency beams and low-frequency beams.
In addition, the communication link abnormality may be discovered by a terminal, or may be discovered by a network side node, which is not limited in this embodiment of the present invention.
Step 202, the terminal recovers the data transmission of the service through the target beam in the at least one beam set.
Wherein the target beam is a target beam determined by the terminal or the network side node in the at least one beam set.
After the terminal receives the trigger signaling, the at least one beam set and the beams included in the set may be determined, so that the target beam may be determined in the beams. The network side node may notify the terminal after determining the target beam in the at least one beam set, so that the terminal finds the target beam in the at least one beam set. The target beam may be one or more high-frequency beams (also referred to as narrow beams), or the target beam may be one or more low-frequency beams.
And when the terminal confirms the target wave beam, the data transmission of the service can be recovered through the target wave beam. Here, the recovery may be data transmission between the terminal and the network side node through the target beam to recover the service. In addition, the data transmission for resuming the service may be data transmission for the service starting from a time when the communication link is abnormal, for example: when the terminal and the network side node are in chain breakage during the transmission of the Tth data packet, namely the Tth data transmission fails, the data transmission can be recovered from the Tth data packet. Or the data transmission of the recovery service may be performed with the first n data packets when the communication link is abnormal as a starting point, for example: when the terminal and the network side node are in chain breakage during the transmission of the Tth data packet, namely the Tth data transmission fails, the data transmission can be recovered from the Tth-n data packet.
Through the steps, RRC reconstruction is not needed to be initiated between the time when the communication link of the high-frequency wave beam for service transmission between the terminal and the network side node is abnormal and the time when the data transmission of the service is recovered, so that the data transmission delay can be reduced, and the user experience can be improved.
In the method for recovering data transmission provided by the embodiment of the present invention, if a communication link of a high frequency beam for performing service transmission between a terminal and a network side node is abnormal, the terminal receives a trigger signaling indicating at least one beam set sent by the network side node; the terminal recovers data transmission of the service through a target beam in the at least one beam set; wherein the target beam is a target beam determined by the terminal or the network side node in the at least one beam set. Therefore, when the communication link is abnormal, the RRC reconstruction is not required to be initiated, the target beam can be directly used for recovering the data transmission of the service, so that the time delay from the abnormal communication link to the recovery of the data transmission is reduced, and the user experience can be improved.
Second embodiment
Referring to fig. 3, fig. 3 is a flowchart of a method for resuming data transmission according to an embodiment of the present invention, and as shown in fig. 3, the method includes the following steps:
step 301, if a communication link of a high-frequency beam for service transmission between a terminal and a network side node is abnormal, the terminal receives a trigger signaling indicating at least one beam set sent by the network side node.
The trigger signaling may be trigger signaling, and in addition, the trigger signaling may be sent by the network side node through Downlink Control Information (DCI). In addition, the trigger signaling may be understood as signaling for triggering and starting a beam fast recovery mechanism, that is, the beam fast recovery mechanism may be started based on the signaling in the embodiment of the present invention.
Optionally, the step of receiving, by the terminal, a trigger signaling indicating at least one beam set sent by the network side node includes: the terminal receives a trigger signaling which indicates at least one beam set and is sent by the network side node through physical layer downlink control information at a wide beam or a low-frequency beam or a plurality of narrow beams; the wide beam is a beam which is negotiated by the terminal and the network side node in advance or is notified by the network side node, is wider than the lobe of the high-frequency beam and covers the terminal; the low-frequency beam is a beam which is negotiated in advance between the terminal and the network side node or is notified by the network side node, has a frequency lower than that of the high-frequency beam, and covers the terminal; the narrow beam is pre-negotiated between the terminal and the network side node or notified by the network side node, and the difference value of the lobe and the lobe of the high-frequency beam is within a preset range and covers the beam of the terminal.
The step can realize the transmission of the trigger signaling through a wide beam or a low-frequency beam or a plurality of narrow beams. The wide beam is pre-negotiated with the network side node or notified by the network side node, so that the terminal can be ensured to receive the trigger signaling on the band beam, and the waste of transmission resources caused by the fact that the terminal does not know which resource position to receive the trigger signaling is avoided, and the purpose of saving the transmission resources is achieved. In addition, since the lobe of the wide beam is wider than the lobe of the high-frequency beam and covers the beam of the terminal, the transmission of the trigger signaling on the wide beam is not easy to fail, so that the success rate of receiving the trigger signaling can be improved.
The low-frequency wave beam is pre-negotiated between the terminal and the network side node or notified by the network side node, so that the terminal can be ensured to receive the trigger signaling on the wave beam, the waste of transmission resources caused by the fact that the terminal does not know which resource position to receive the trigger signaling is avoided, and the purpose of saving the transmission resources is achieved. In addition, because the frequency is lower than that of the high-frequency wave beam and covers the wave beam of the terminal, and the low-frequency signal has the characteristics of longer wavelength and strong diffraction capability, the success rate of transmitting data by the low-frequency wave beam is higher than that of the high-frequency wave beam, so that the success rate of receiving the trigger signaling can be improved.
The narrow beam is pre-negotiated between the terminal and the network side node or notified by the network side node, so that the terminal can be ensured to receive the trigger signaling on the beam, and the waste of transmission resources caused by the fact that the terminal does not know which resource position to receive the trigger signaling is avoided, and the purpose of saving the transmission resources is achieved. In addition, as a plurality of narrow beams are used for transmitting the trigger signaling, the success rate of receiving the trigger signaling can be improved. The sending of the trigger signaling through the multiple narrow beams may be that the multiple narrow beams send the trigger signaling simultaneously, and may be that the same trigger signaling is sent simultaneously, so as to improve the success rate of the terminal for receiving the trigger signaling.
Optionally, the trigger signaling includes transmission pattern information (pattern) of a reference signal, or the trigger signaling is used to indicate the transmission pattern information of the reference signal agreed in advance by the terminal and the network side node; wherein the transmission pattern information is used for indicating the at least one beam set and indicating an order of transmitting reference signals in the at least one beam set between the terminal and the network side node.
In the embodiment of the present invention, the reference signal may be referred to as a Beam Recovery Reference Signal (BRRS), for example: the Reference Signal may be a Sounding Reference Signal (SRS), a demodulation Reference Signal (DMRS), or other new Reference signals (RS, Reference Signal). For using SRS or DMRS as BRRS, the resource location for beam recovery may be different from that in existing protocols, e.g.: some subcarriers in the 1 st symbol are used.
In this embodiment, it can be realized that the sending pattern information may be sent to the terminal by the network side node through the trigger signaling, so that flexibility of sending pattern information can be improved, for example: the network side node may determine the transmission pattern information according to the status of the network resource to adapt to the current network status. And when the trigger signaling indicates the sending pattern information agreed by the network side node and the terminal in advance, the signaling overhead can be saved, so that in this case, the trigger signaling only needs to include one indication without including the sending pattern information.
In addition, the sending pattern information indicates the sequence of the reference signal transmission between the terminal and the network side node, so that the terminal and the network side node can be ensured to effectively receive the reference signal sent by the other side.
Optionally, the order of sending the reference signals includes: an order in which high frequency beams within the at least one beam set are preferentially transmitted.
By preferentially sending the sequence of the high-frequency beams in the at least one beam set, the method can preferentially select the proper high-frequency beam as the target beam, so that the selected target beam is closer to the high-frequency beam with the abnormal communication link, and the data transmission of the recovered service can better meet the requirements of the terminal.
Optionally, if the at least one beam set includes a primary beam set including the high-frequency beam, which is maintained by the terminal in advance, the order of sending the reference signal includes: in the primary beam set, taking the high-frequency beam as a center and sending the high-frequency beam from near to far according to a space direction; or the high-frequency wave beams are taken as the center and are transmitted from far to near according to the space direction; or in the primary beam set, the high-frequency beams are used as the center and the transmission sequence is alternated according to the space direction.
The original beam set including the high-frequency beam, which is maintained by the terminal in advance, may be a beam set maintained by the terminal and a network side node together, and the beam set may be an uplink or downlink beam set. And there may be several beam ids and received power strengths obtained through beam training in the set. The number of beams in the set includes the best beam found in the beam training, the next best beam, and so on.
For example: as shown in fig. 4, the network side node and the terminal originally use a black beam for data transmission. When the beam is blocked, the network side node recovers the downlink beam, and the transmission pattern information pattern of the reference signal triggered by the network side node may perform transmission of the reference signal from near to far, for example, transmit the beams in the sequence of number 1-2-3-4, sequentially centering on the primary beam in the primary beam set. Therefore, the beam close to the original beam can be measured quickly, and the beam close to the original beam is more suitable to be used as the beam for recovering the service, namely the target beam. Therefore, the beams close to the original beams are preferentially measured, so that the target beams can be quickly selected, excessive reference signal measurement operation is avoided, and energy consumption of the terminal is saved. Similarly, the transmission order from far to near in spatial bearing with the high-frequency beam as the center can also be realized, for example: in fig. 4, the transmission sequence is beam number 4-3-2-1.
In addition, it is also possible to realize a transmission order in which the high-frequency beams are spatially oriented in a far-near alternating manner. And the terminal is also utilized to quickly select the target beam so as to avoid excessive reference signal measurement operation and save the energy consumption of the terminal. For example: if the terminal rotation would also cause the primary beam to be broken, then the narrow beam near the primary beam is likely to deviate from the optimal transmission direction, so that the reference signals can be transmitted alternately far and near in the beam set, e.g., beams 1-4-2-3 in the transmission order.
Optionally, if the at least one beam set includes a primary beam set including the high-frequency beam and at least one target beam set, which are maintained by the terminal in advance, the order of sending the reference signal includes: a beam-mixing transmission order within the primary beam set and the at least one target beam set; or if only one target beam set is included, preferentially sending the order of the beams in the target beam set; or if a plurality of target beam sets are included, preferentially transmitting beams in the plurality of target beam sets, and transmitting the plurality of target beam sets in an alternating set transmission order; or if a plurality of target beam sets are included, preferentially transmitting beams in the plurality of target beam sets, and transmitting the plurality of target beam sets according to the order of set sequence.
In this embodiment, a target beam set that is transmitted preferentially, that is, a beam set other than the primary beam set, may be implemented. Assuming that the number of the previous used primary beam set is 1, and the at least one target beam set includes set 2 and set 3, the beams of beam set 2 may be preferentially transmitted, the beams of beam set 3 may be transmitted, or the beams in beam set 2 and beam set 3 may be transmitted alternately, i.e., the first beam of beam set 2-the 2 nd beam of the 2 nd beam-beam set 3 of the first beam-beam set 3 of beam set 2-the 2 nd beam of the 2 nd beam-beam set 3 of beam set 2, and so on. Due to the fact that the target beam set is sent preferentially, other beams except the original beam set can be measured preferentially, and therefore the target beam can be selected rapidly under the situation that the beams in the original beam set are not suitable for being used as the target beam, and energy consumption of the terminal is saved.
Step 302, the terminal transmits a reference signal through a beam in the at least one beam set.
In this step, the reference signal is transmitted, which may be understood as a reference signal transmitted between the terminal and the network side node. For the downlink beam, the network side node may send a reference signal to the terminal, and the terminal selects a target beam according to the measurement of the reference signal. And for the uplink beam, the terminal sends a reference signal to the network side node, and the network side node selects a target beam according to the measurement of the reference signal.
Optionally, the step of the terminal transmitting the reference signal through the beam in the at least one beam set includes: the terminal sends a reference signal to the network side node on an uplink beam in the at least one beam set; and the terminal receives feedback information which is sent by the network side node and indicates the target wave beam, wherein the target wave beam is an uplink wave beam determined by the network side node according to a measurement result of measuring a reference signal transmitted by the terminal.
The order in which the terminal transmits the reference signal to the network side node on the uplink beam in the at least one beam set may refer to the transmission order indicated in the transmission pattern information described in the foregoing embodiment. Of course, the sending order may be predetermined by the terminal and the network side node, which is not limited in this respect.
Through the steps, the terminal can send the reference signal on the uplink wave beam, and the network side node measures the sent reference signal so as to determine the target wave beam according to the measurement result. Therefore, the determined target beam is suitable for recovering the data transmission of the service, and the data transmission efficiency of the service is improved. For example: as shown in fig. 5, after the network side node sends a trigger signaling (trigger) in the downlink symbol, and the terminal receives the trigger and the transmission pattern information of the reference signal, the network side node sends the reference signal in the subsequent uplink symbol by using a high-frequency beam (which may also be referred to as a narrow beam or a high-frequency narrow beam) according to the transmission pattern information, and determines an optimal beam after detecting the reference signal, and notifies the terminal in the subsequent downlink symbol. And then using the temporary optimal beam to recover the service transmission.
Optionally, the step of transmitting, by the terminal, the reference signal through the beam in the at least one beam set includes: the terminal receives a reference signal sent by the network side node on a downlink beam in the at least one beam set; the terminal measures a reference signal sent by the network side node to obtain a measurement result; the terminal determines the target beam in the downlink beams of the at least one beam set according to the measurement result; and the terminal sends feedback information indicating the target beam to the network side node.
Through the steps, the network side node can transmit the reference signal on the downlink wave beam, and the terminal measures the transmitted reference signal so as to determine the target wave beam according to the measurement result. Therefore, the determined target beam is suitable for recovering the data transmission of the service, and the data transmission efficiency of the service is improved.
Optionally, the step of determining, by the terminal, the target beam in the downlink beams of the at least one beam set according to the measurement result includes: the terminal determines a downlink wave beam with the optimal transmission quality as the target wave beam in the downlink wave beams of the at least one wave beam set according to the measurement result; or if the terminal finds that a downlink beam with the transmission quality higher than a first preset threshold exists in the at least one beam set according to the measurement result, determining the downlink beam with the transmission quality higher than the preset threshold as the target beam.
The downlink wave beam with the optimal transmission quality can be determined to be used as the target wave beam through the steps, so that the data transmission efficiency of the service is improved. In addition, the downlink beam can be determined as the target beam as long as the downlink beam with the transmission quality higher than the first preset threshold is found, so that the target beam can be determined quickly, and excessive reference signal transmission and measurement can be avoided.
Optionally, the transmission quality includes at least one of a received power, a received quality, and a signal-to-noise ratio.
In this embodiment, a beam with a received power, a received quality, or a signal-to-noise ratio higher than a first preset threshold may be selected as a target beam, so that when data transmission of a service is resumed using the target beam, reliability, transmission efficiency, and the like of data transmission are ensured.
It should be noted that, in the second embodiment,step 302 is only optional, that is, in the second embodiment, it is also possible thatstep 302 is not executed, that is, the target beam is a target beam determined by the terminal or the network-side node in the at least one beam set. For example: the target beam is a beam that the network side node and the terminal have agreed in the at least one beam set in advance, or the target beam may be a beam indicated by the network side node in the at least one beam set, and so on.
Step 303, the terminal and the network side node resume data transmission of the service through a target beam in the at least one beam set.
Wherein the target beam is a target beam determined by the terminal by measuring the reference signal, or the target beam is a target beam notified by the terminal by receiving the network side node
The determined target beam may be a beam whose transmission quality satisfies a preset threshold, or the target beam may be a beam with the best transmission quality in the at least one beam set, so as to improve transmission performance and quality of data transmission after recovery.
Optionally, before the step of receiving, by the terminal, a trigger signaling indicating at least one beam set sent by the network-side node, the method further includes: the terminal determines that a communication link of a high-frequency wave beam for service transmission between the terminal and the network side node is abnormal; and the terminal sends a recovery mechanism notification message to the network side node.
Through the steps, when the terminal determines that the communication link of the high-frequency wave beam is abnormal, the recovery mechanism notification message can be sent to the network side node, so that the network side node can be notified to start the wave beam recovery mechanism in time, and the time delay of data transmission is reduced. The determining of the communication link abnormality of the high-frequency beam for traffic transmission with the network-side node may be determined by physical layer measurement.
Optionally, the communication link abnormality includes: the terminal does not receive acknowledgement feedback (ACK) or negative acknowledgement feedback (NACK) sent by the network side node at a preset position; or the terminal measures that the receiving quality of the communication link is lower than a second preset threshold value; or the terminal measures that the receiving power of the communication link is lower than a third preset threshold value; or the terminal measures that the receiving signal-to-noise ratio of the communication link is lower than a fourth preset threshold value; or the change rate of the measurement value of the communication link measured by the terminal reaches a fifth preset threshold value.
The non-reception of the acknowledgement feedback (ACK) or the non-acknowledgement feedback (NACK) transmitted from the network-side node may be understood as a determination that the communication link of the high-frequency beam is broken when the ACK or the NACK is not received at a predetermined position corresponding to the high-frequency beam. The fact that the reception quality of the communication link is lower than the second preset threshold may indicate that the reception quality of the downlink channel PDCCH and the PDSCH is lower than a second preset threshold. And the change rate can be the ratio of the last two measured values, or the change speed of the measured values in a period of time, and the like. In addition, in the embodiment of the present invention, each preset threshold is configurable, or may be agreed in advance, or is notified by the network side.
In this embodiment, when the terminal detects any of the above cases, it is possible to determine that a communication link of a high-frequency beam for traffic transmission with the network-side node is abnormal, and transmit the recovery notification message.
Optionally, the step of sending, by the terminal, a recovery mechanism notification message to the network side node includes: the terminal sends a recovery mechanism notification message to the network side node through a wide beam or a low-frequency beam or a plurality of narrow beams; the wide beam is a beam with a lobe wider than that of the high-frequency beam, the low-frequency beam is a beam with a frequency lower than that of the high-frequency beam, and the narrow beam is a beam with a lobe difference value between the lobe and the lobe of the high-frequency beam within a preset range.
In this embodiment, the recovery mechanism notification message may be sent through a wide beam or a low-frequency beam or multiple narrow beams, and the wide beam or the low-frequency beam or the multiple narrow beams may refer to the wide beam or the low-frequency beam or the multiple narrow beams that send the trigger signaling described in the above embodiment, which is not described herein again, and may also achieve the beneficial effect of improving the success rate of the recovery mechanism notification message.
Optionally, after the step of determining that the communication link of the high-frequency beam performing service transmission with the network-side node is abnormal by the terminal, and before the step of sending a recovery mechanism notification message to the network-side node by the terminal, the method further includes: starting a counter with preset counting duration; the step of sending, by the terminal, a recovery mechanism notification message to the network side node includes: and when the counting of the counter reaches the preset counting time, the terminal sends a recovery mechanism notification message to the network side node.
In this embodiment, the preset counting duration may be configured in advance by the terminal, or may be notified by the network side node. In addition, the starting counter may be started when the terminal does not receive acknowledgement feedback (ACK) or negative acknowledgement feedback (NACK) sent from the network side node at a predetermined position; or when the terminal measures that the receiving quality of the communication link is lower than a second preset threshold value; or when the terminal measures that the receiving power of the communication link is lower than a third preset threshold value; or when the terminal measures that the receiving signal-to-noise ratio of the communication link is lower than a fourth preset threshold value; or when the variation rate of the measurement value of the communication link measured by the terminal reaches a fifth preset threshold value.
Optionally, after the step of determining that a communication link of a high-frequency beam performing service transmission with the network-side node is abnormal, before the step of receiving, by the terminal, a trigger signaling indicating at least one beam set sent by the network-side node, the method further includes: when a communication link of a high-frequency beam for service transmission between the terminal and the network side node is abnormal, the terminal switches to a wide beam, a low-frequency beam or a plurality of narrow beams, and continues to transmit data of the service with the network side node by using the wide beam, the low-frequency beam or the plurality of narrow beams; or when a communication link of a high-frequency beam for service transmission between the terminal and the network side node is abnormal, the terminal suspends the service; the wide beam is a beam which is negotiated by the terminal and the network side node in advance or is notified by the network side node, is wider than the lobe of the high-frequency beam and covers the terminal; the low-frequency beam is a beam which is negotiated in advance between the terminal and the network side node or is notified by the network side node, has a frequency lower than that of the high-frequency beam, and covers the terminal; the narrow beam is pre-negotiated between the terminal and the network side node or notified by the network side node, and the difference value of the lobe and the lobe of the high-frequency beam is within a preset range and covers the beam of the terminal.
In this embodiment, when a communication link of a high-frequency beam for performing service transmission between the terminal and the network-side node is abnormal, the terminal may switch to the wide-frequency beam, the low-frequency beam, or the plurality of narrow beams to continue data transmission of the service.
In this embodiment, when a communication link is abnormal, the communication terminal may switch to the beam to continue data transmission of the service, and when the data transmission of the service is continued, the communication terminal may perform a process of determining the target beam, so that the service of the terminal is not interrupted during the process of determining the target beam. And the method can also realize that the service is suspended in the process of determining the target beam and then data transmission is carried out after the target beam is recovered.
The data transmission for continuing the service may be continued by using the communication link as a starting point when the communication link is abnormal, for example: when the terminal and the network side node are disconnected during the transmission of the tth data packet, that is, when the tth data transmission fails, the data transmission of the service can be continued from the tth data packet. Or the data transmission for continuing the service may be performed by using the first n data packets when the communication link is abnormal as a starting point, for example: when the terminal and the network side node are disconnected during the transmission of the T-th data packet, that is, the T-th data transmission fails, the data transmission of the service can be continued from the T-n-th data packet. Since the target beam can be determined while continuing transmission using the beam, after the target beam is determined, the time point of the target beam can be determined to resume data transmission of the service, for example: when the target beam is determined, if the data packet for transmitting the service using the wide beam, the low frequency beam, or the plurality of narrow beams is an mth data packet, the data transmission of the service may be resumed using the switching to the target beam and starting from the mth or M-1 data packet. It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present invention, when data transmission of a service is resumed, specifically, which data packet is used as a starting point for resuming the service is not limited, and for example: the data packets which are already transmitted by some terminals can be recovered, so that better continuity of the service is ensured.
Optionally, the step of switching, by the terminal, to a wide beam, a low-frequency beam, or multiple narrow beams, and continuing data transmission of the service with the network side node using the wide beam, the low-frequency beam, or multiple narrow beams includes: and the terminal is switched to a wide beam, a low-frequency beam or a plurality of narrow beams, and the wide beam, the low-frequency beam or the plurality of narrow beams and the network side node are used for continuing the data transmission of the service in a preset low-scheduling coding scheme or a preset small data packet mode.
In this embodiment, it may be implemented that, when the switching to the wide beam, the low-frequency beam, or the multiple narrow beams is performed, a preset low Modulation and Coding Scheme (MCS) or a preset small data packet (TB size) mode may be used, so that the success rate of data transmission may be further improved through the MCS and the small data packet.
Optionally, the method further includes: after the terminal and the network side node recover the data transmission of the service through the target beam and during the data transmission, the terminal and the network side node search for a switching beam through a beam training process; and the terminal is switched to the switching wave beam and performs data transmission of the service with the network side node by using the switching wave beam.
Through the steps, the terminal and the network side node can search the switching beam through beam training in the data transmission process of using the target beam to recover the service. The switched beam can be understood as an optimal beam between the terminal and the network side node. For example: and searching a beam pair capable of obtaining the strongest receiving power through scanning of the transmitting beam and the receiving beam, and switching the network side node and the terminal to the strongest beam pair for data transmission when the strongest beam pair is different from the temporary optimal beam.
In this embodiment, when data is transmitted using a target beam, beam training may be performed to determine a better handover beam, so as to improve the transmission quality of data transmission.
In the method for recovering data transmission provided by the embodiment of the present invention, if a communication link of a high frequency beam for performing service transmission between a terminal and a network side node is abnormal, the terminal receives a trigger signaling indicating at least one beam set sent by the network side node; the terminal transmits a reference signal through a beam in the at least one beam set; the terminal recovers data transmission of the service through a target beam in the at least one beam set; the target beam is determined by the terminal by measuring the reference signal, or the target beam is a target beam which is notified by the terminal to receive the network side node. Therefore, when the communication link is abnormal, the RRC reconstruction is not required to be initiated, and the target beam can be directly used for recovering the data transmission of the service, so that the time delay from the abnormal communication link to the recovery of the data transmission is reduced, and the user experience is improved. The target beam is determined by the terminal or the network side node through measuring the reference signal, so that the transmission performance and quality of the recovered data transmission can be improved.

For the relevant description of the target beam and the data transmission of the foregoing recovery service, reference may be made to the relevant description of the first embodiment and the second embodiment, which is not described herein again.
In the method for recovering data transmission provided by the embodiment of the present invention, if a communication link of a high frequency beam for performing service transmission between a network side node and a terminal is abnormal, the network side node sends a trigger signaling indicating at least one beam set to the terminal; and the network side node recovers the data transmission of the service through the target beam in the at least one beam set.
