1. A configuration method, comprising:
acquiring transmission indication information; and
determining a spatial relation associated with an uplink control channel corresponding to the transmission indication information during repeated transmissions of the uplink control channel;
wherein the transmission indication information comprises at least one of radio resource control (RRC) signaling, a media access control-control element, or downlink control information;
wherein in a case where the uplink control channel is associated with at least two spatial relations during the repeated transmissions of the uplink control channel and is configured with inter-slot frequency hopping or no frequency hopping, a matching manner for spatial relations during the repeated transmissions of the uplink control channel is determined according to an actual transmission occasion index;
wherein in a case where the uplink control channel is associated with two spatial relations,
a starting spatial relation of the uplink control channel in a group comprising even slots and a starting spatial relation of the uplink control channel in a group comprising odd slots are each a first spatial relation; or a starting spatial relation of the uplink control channel in a group comprising even slots and a starring spatial relation of the uplink control channel in a group comprising odd slots are each a second spatial relation; or
a starting spatial relation of the uplink control channel in a group comprising even slots is a first spatial relation and a starting spatial relation of the uplink control channel in a group comprising odd slots is a second spatial relation; or a starting spatial relation of the uplink control channel in a group comprising even slots is a second spatial relation and a starting spatial relation of the uplink control channel in a group comprising odd slots is a first spatial relation;
wherein a number of transmissions of different spatial relations is the same, and the number of transmissions is a sum of a number of transmissions of one spatial relation in the group comprising even slots and a number of transmissions of the one spatial relation in the group comprising odd slots.
