While exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure are shown in the drawings, it should be understood that the present disclosure may be embodied in various forms and should not be limited to the embodiments set forth herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided so that this disclosure will be thorough and complete, and will fully convey the scope of the disclosure to those skilled in the art.
Example one
Referring to fig. 1, a flow of a transmission method is shown in the figure, where an execution subject of the method is a UE, and the specific steps are as follows:
step 101, UE sends first data through uplink scheduling-free transmission and carries a buffer status report;
the UE may be a mobile phone (or a mobile phone), or other devices capable of sending or receiving wireless signals, including a terminal, a Personal Digital Assistant (PDA), a wireless modem, a wireless communication device, a handheld device, a laptop computer, a cordless phone, a Wireless Local Loop (WLL) station, a CPE (Customer premises Equipment) or a mobile smart hotspot capable of converting mobile signals into WiFi signals, a smart appliance, or other devices capable of autonomously communicating with a mobile communication network without human operation.
The network side may be a Base Station, and in the embodiment of the present invention, the form of the Base Station is not limited, and may be a Macro Base Station (Macro Base Station), a micro Base Station (Pico Base Station), a Node B (the name of a 3G mobile Base Station), an enhanced Base Station (ENB), a gNB (the name of a 5G mobile Base Station), a Home enhanced Base Station (Femto ENB or Home eNode B or Home ENB or HNEB), a relay Station, an access point, an RRU (Remote Radio Unit), an RRH (Remote Radio Head), and the like.
The English corresponding to the above Buffer Status Report is Buffer Status Report, BSR for short.
And step 102, the UE determines a data transmission mode according to a condition of receiving a feedback message of the network side, wherein the feedback message is obtained by the network side according to the receiving condition of the first data and the buffer status report.
In this embodiment, the UE may determine the data transmission mode through the following four modes:
the first method is as follows: the UE receives a DCI (Downlink Control Information) feedback message in a specified time window after the uplink scheduling-free transmission is finished; if the UE receives a DCI feedback message, and there is resource Scheduling information and an NDI (New Data indicator) in an UL Grant (Uplink Scheduling Grant) in the DCI feedback message as a first value, the UE transmits the first Data on a corresponding resource allocated by the UL Grant in a manner of Scheduling retransmission.
Alternatively, the first value is 0, that is, NDI is 0 in the first embodiment, and it should be noted that a specific numerical value of the first value is not specifically limited in this embodiment.
The second method comprises the following steps: the UE receives DCI feedback information in a specified time window after the uplink scheduling-free transmission is finished; if the UE receives the DCI feedback message and the UL Grant in the DCI feedback message has the resource scheduling information and the NDI is the second value, the UE sends the residual data of the first data on the corresponding resources allocated by the UL Grant.
Optionally, the first value is 1, that is, NDI is 1 in the first embodiment, and it should be noted that a specific numerical value of the second value is not specifically limited in this embodiment.
When the UE sends data larger than the allocated resources, if the UE cannot transmit all data at one time, the UE may send the remaining data of the first data in the above-described manner.
The third method comprises the following steps: the UE receives DCI feedback information in a specified time window after the uplink scheduling-free transmission is finished; and if the UE receives a DCI feedback message, and the UL Grant in the DCI feedback message has no resource scheduling information and the NDI is a first value, the UE transmits the first data in a scheduling-free retransmission mode.
Alternatively, the first value is 0, that is, NDI is 0 in the first embodiment, and it should be noted that a specific numerical value of the first value is not specifically limited in this embodiment.
The method is as follows: the UE receives DCI feedback information in a specified time window after the uplink scheduling-free transmission is finished; and if the UE does not receive the DCI feedback message, the UE sends second data on the resources which are statically or semi-statically pre-allocated on the network side in an uplink scheduling-free transmission mode.
In this embodiment, the UE may reduce the processes of sending the scheduling request and waiting for the network grant by using uplink scheduling-free transmission, thereby reducing the delay and signaling overhead. And after the uplink scheduling-free transmission is finished, the UE can select scheduling retransmission or scheduling-free retransmission according to the DCI indication, so that the time delay is further shortened, the signaling overhead is saved, and the transmission collision with other users can be avoided. Through the measures, the transmission efficiency of the system can be further improved.
Example two
Referring to fig. 2, a flow of a transmission method is shown in the figure, where an execution main body of the method is a network side, and the specific steps are as follows:
step 201, a network side receives first data and a buffer status report which are transmitted by UE through uplink scheduling-free transmission;
the network side may be a Base Station, and in the embodiment of the present invention, the form of the Base Station is not limited, and may be a Macro Base Station (Macro Base Station), a micro Base Station (Pico Base Station), a Node B (the name of a 3G mobile Base Station), an enhanced Base Station (ENB), a gNB (the name of a 5G mobile Base Station), a Home enhanced Base Station (Femto ENB or Home eNode B or Home ENB or HNEB), a relay Station, an access point, an RRU (Remote Radio Unit), an RRH (Remote Radio Head), and the like.
The UE may be a mobile phone (or a mobile phone), or other devices capable of sending or receiving wireless signals, including a terminal, a Personal Digital Assistant (PDA), a wireless modem, a wireless communication device, a handheld device, a laptop computer, a cordless phone, a Wireless Local Loop (WLL) station, a CPE (Customer premises Equipment) or a mobile smart hotspot capable of converting mobile signals into WiFi signals, a smart appliance, or other devices capable of autonomously communicating with a mobile communication network without human operation.
Step 202, the network side determines a feedback message according to the receiving condition of the first data and the buffer status report;
step 203, the network side sends the feedback message to the UE, where the feedback message is used to notify the UE of the receiving condition of the first data and notify the UE whether the UE needs to retransmit the first data or whether the UE needs to send the remaining data of the first data.
In this embodiment, optionally, the ending time of the uplink non-scheduled transmission is T1, and the network side sends the feedback message to the UE at T1+ k, where k is a positive integer.
It should be noted that the value of k may be agreed in a protocol or configured by the network side.
In this embodiment, the UE may reduce the processes of sending the scheduling request and waiting for the network grant by using uplink scheduling-free transmission, thereby reducing the delay and signaling overhead. And after the uplink scheduling-free transmission is finished, the UE can select scheduling retransmission or scheduling-free retransmission according to the DCI indication, so that the time delay is further shortened, the signaling overhead is saved, and the transmission collision with other users can be avoided. Through the measures, the transmission efficiency of the system can be further improved.
EXAMPLE III

The base station feeds back a message to the UE at time T1+ k, where the value of k may be agreed in a protocol or configured by the network side. The feedback information is that the base station informs the UE of the data receiving status and whether retransmission needs to be initiated.
The feedback process ends at time T2, process 2 shown in fig. 3.
At time T2+ n, the UE determines how to send data according to the content of the feedback message, as indicated by the process ((c) shown in fig. 3).
Referring to fig. 4 to 7, the UE performs different processes according to the indication of receiving the DCI feedback message.
Referring to fig. 4: and the UE receives the DCI feedback message, the resource scheduling information exists in the UL Grant, and the NDI is 1, and then the residual data is sent on the corresponding resources allocated by the UL Grant.
Referring to fig. 5: and the UE receives the DCI feedback message, the resource scheduling information exists in the UL Grant, and the NDI is 0, and then scheduling retransmission exists on the corresponding resource allocated by the UL Grant.
Referring to fig. 6: and the UE receives the DCI feedback message, the UL Grant has no resource scheduling information and NDI is 0, and scheduling retransmission is avoided.
Referring to fig. 7: and if the UE does not receive the DCI feedback message, scheduling-free transmission of new data is carried out.
In this embodiment, the UE may reduce the processes of sending the scheduling request and waiting for the network grant by using uplink scheduling-free transmission, thereby reducing the delay and signaling overhead. And after the uplink scheduling-free transmission is finished, the UE can select scheduling retransmission or scheduling-free retransmission according to the DCI indication, so that the time delay is further shortened, the signaling overhead is saved, and the transmission collision with other users can be avoided. Through the measures, the transmission efficiency of the system can be further improved.
