Description

Method and device used in user and base station for low-delay communication

Technical Field

The present application relates to a transmission method and apparatus in a wireless communication system, and more particularly, to a transmission method and apparatus of a wireless signal supporting low-delay communication.

Background

In the existing LTE (Long-Term Evolution, Long Term Evolution) and LTE-a (Long Term Evolution Advanced, enhanced Long Term Evolution) systems, one Transmission corresponds to one TTI (Transmission Time Interval), and in consideration of RTT (Round Trip Time, cyclic path Time) of one interaction between the user equipment and the base station, the user needs to support 8 HARQ (Hybrid Automatic Repeat Request) processes at the same Time to ensure improvement of Transmission efficiency caused by parallel processing. Since the maximum TBS (Transmission Block Size) transmitted in each TTI is the same, the ue allocates the same buffer to each process to ensure performance when performing retransmission based on Incremental Redundancy (Incremental Redundancy).

In current Release 14 and future 5G systems, the ue will support multiple transmissions for different durations in a given time window; meanwhile, the ue will also support the HARQ process of TTI and STTI (Short Transmission Time Interval) in a given Time window; accordingly, the allocation of new buffers needs to be redesigned to ensure that transmissions for different durations can be supported simultaneously.

Disclosure of Invention

The inventor finds, through research, that a simple design method is to allocate the same buffer size to each HARQ process supported by the user equipment, i.e. a method similar to the existing LTE. However, one disadvantage of this method is that the maximum TBS for the STTI is not considered to be smaller than the maximum TBS for the TTI, and dividing the buffer size equally based on the number of HARQ processes alone results in reduced performance for the TTI and excessive buffer allocation for the STTI.

In view of the above design, the present application discloses a solution. Without conflict, embodiments and features in embodiments in the user equipment of the present application may be applied to the base station and vice versa. The embodiments and features of the embodiments of the present application may be combined with each other arbitrarily without conflict.

Layer 1(L1 layer) is the lowest layer and implements various PHY (physical layer) signal processing functions. The L1 layer will be referred to herein as PHY301, with layer 2(L2 layer) 305 being above PHY301 and responsible for the link between the UE and the gNB through PHY 301.
