Description

Resource, time slot format configuration, data transmission method, device, equipment and medium

Technical Field

The present invention relates to the field of wireless communication technologies, and in particular, to a method, an apparatus, a device, and a medium for resource and timeslot format configuration and data transmission.

Background

Nowadays, energy conservation becomes a focus of social attention, and the telecommunication industry draws high social attention as a high energy consumption industry. In an LTE (Long Term Evolution ) system, in order to reduce resource waste and achieve energy saving, a common method in the prior art includes:

the base station decides the opening or closing of the cell according to the data transmission quantity, namely when the data transmission quantity of a certain cell in a period of time is lower than a preset value, an energy-saving activation instruction is sent to close the cell to enter an energy-saving state, and only when the data transmission quantity of the cell is higher than the preset value, an energy-saving deactivation instruction is sent to enter the cell to enter an opening state. Therefore, when the existing energy-saving method is adopted, only the cell level long period is started and configured, and if a certain cell is always in a dormant state and a user needs data scheduling, the user experience is reduced.

In the prior art, when performing semi-static configuration on timeslots in a radio frame for data transmission, a method shown in fig. 1 is often used, for example, a current radio frame includes 10 timeslots, the first two timeslots, i.e., the 0 th timeslot and the 1 st timeslot, are configured as downlink timeslots for downlink data transmission, the last two timeslots, i.e., the 8 th timeslot and the 9 th timeslot, are configured as uplink timeslots for uplink data transmission, and the middle 6 timeslots are configured as flexible timeslots. The uplink time slot and the downlink time slot are both semi-statically configured fixed time slots, and in the prior art, when a wireless frame is dynamically configured based on a dynamic signaling, only flexible time slots can be modified, but fixed time slots cannot be modified; in the actual data transmission process, the base station needs to monitor whether each fixed time slot has data to be transmitted, so that the problem of resource waste exists.

Disclosure of Invention

The invention discloses a resource, time slot format configuration and data transmission method, a device, equipment and a medium, which are used for solving the problems of poor user experience and resource waste caused by unreasonable transmission resource configuration in the prior art.

To overcome the technical problem, according to an aspect of the present invention, there is provided a resource allocation method, including:

sending a resource configuration signaling to the UE;

and instructing the UE to configure the resources corresponding to each period as starting resources for data transmission and stopping the data transmission according to the resource configuration signaling, wherein the starting resources correspond to a first duration, the stopping resources correspond to a second duration, and the first duration and the second duration are the same or different.

The base station sends the resource configuration information to the UE and indicates the UE to configure the resources corresponding to each period as the starting resources for transmission and the stopping resources for stopping data transmission, so that the cells and the UE accessing the cells within the coverage of the base station are in the starting state for part of time and in the stopping state for part of time in each period, and therefore the cells and the UE can automatically switch the starting state and the stopping state without sending an energy-saving activation instruction and an energy-saving deactivation instruction by the base station, the resource consumption is reduced, and the purpose of saving energy is achieved. In addition, because the first duration corresponding to the starting resource and the second duration corresponding to the turning-off resource are both in millisecond level, and each period is a transmission period of frame level, the influence on the burst service can be avoided, the data transmission is ensured, and the user experience degree is improved.

Specifically, the sending the resource configuration signaling to the UE includes:

sending, by a base station, remaining critical system information, RMSI, semi-static configuration signaling to the UE; or the like, or, alternatively,

sending, by a primary serving cell of the base station, configuration information of a secondary serving cell to which the UE is currently accessed to the UE; or the like, or, alternatively,

transmitting, by a base station, radio resource control, RRC, signaling to the UE.

Since the cell accessed by the UE may be a primary serving cell or a secondary serving cell, when the cell accessed by the UE is the primary serving cell, the base station sends RMSI semi-static configuration signaling or RRC signaling to the UE, and when the cell accessed by the UE is the secondary serving cell, the primary serving cell of the base station sends configuration information of the secondary serving cell currently accessed by the UE to the UE.

Specifically, the turn-on resource includes a first number of time slots, and the turn-off resource includes a second number of time slots, where the first number and the second number are both natural numbers.

Since the time slot is the minimum transmission structure in the wireless frame, in order to implement the detailed configuration of the turn-on resources and the turn-off resources, the turn-on resources and the turn-off resources can be determined by dividing the time slot, that is, the turn-on resources and the turn-off resources can both include a plurality of continuous time slots, and the number of the time slots in the turn-on resources can be the same as or different from the number of the time slots in the turn-off resources.

According to another aspect of the present invention, there is also provided a resource allocation method, including:

receiving a resource allocation signaling sent by a base station;

and configuring the resources corresponding to each period as starting resources for data transmission and stopping the data transmission according to the resource configuration signaling, wherein the starting resources correspond to a first duration, and the stopping resources correspond to a second duration.

The UE receives the resource configuration instruction sent by the base station, and each UE can configure the resource corresponding to each period into the starting resource for data transmission and the stopping resource for stopping data transmission according to the resource configuration instruction, so that the UE accessed to the cell within the coverage range of the base station is in the starting state for part of time and in the stopping state for part of time in each period, and therefore the UE can realize automatic switching between the self starting state and the self stopping state without receiving the energy-saving activation instruction and the energy-saving deactivation instruction sent by the base station, the resource consumption is reduced, and the purposes of saving energy and reducing the number are achieved. In addition, because the first duration corresponding to the starting resource and the second duration corresponding to the turning-off resource are both in millisecond level, and each period is a transmission period of frame level, the influence on the burst service can be avoided, the data transmission is ensured, and the user experience degree is improved.

According to another aspect of the present invention, there is also provided a data transmission method, including:

when the starting resource entering the current period is monitored, judging whether the electronic equipment is in a turn-off state or not, wherein each period comprises the starting resource and the turning-off resource;

if yes, switching the self-off state into the on state, and judging whether the data can be completely transmitted on the on resource in the current period when the data to be transmitted is monitored to exist;

and if so, transmitting the data on the starting resource, and switching the self starting state to the closing state on a closing resource which is behind the starting resource and adjacent to the starting resource.

In the invention, each frame level cycle is divided into the starting resource for data transmission and the shutdown resource for stopping data transmission, so that when the starting resource of the current cycle enters, if the data to be transmitted is monitored to exist, the data is transmitted on the starting resource in the current cycle, and if the data can be completely transmitted on the starting resource of the current cycle, the shutdown resource adjacent to the starting resource is switched from the starting state to the shutdown state, so that the data transmission can be completed while the resource consumption is reduced, and the user experience is improved.

Specifically, the electronic device is a base station or a UE.

Specifically, the determining whether the data can be completely transmitted on the open resource of the current period includes:

determining a transmission duration required for transmitting the data;

if the transmission duration is less than or equal to the first duration corresponding to the starting resource, determining that the data can be completely transmitted on the starting resource in the current period;

and if the transmission duration is greater than the first duration corresponding to the starting resource, determining that the data cannot be completely transmitted on the starting resource in the current period.

That is to say, when there is data to be transmitted, it is necessary to determine a transmission duration required by the data according to a rate of current data transmission, and compare the transmission duration with a first time corresponding to an open resource, and when the transmission duration is less than or equal to the first duration corresponding to the open resource, it is determined that the data can be completely transmitted on the open resource of the current period, and when the transmission duration is greater than the first duration corresponding to the open resource, it is determined that the data cannot be completely transmitted on the open resource of the current period.

After determining that the data cannot be transmitted in its entirety on the open resources of the current cycle, the method further includes:

judging whether the transmission time length is greater than or equal to the time length of the current period or not;

if yes, activating all the turn-off resources in the current period, and transmitting the data on the turn-on resources and all the activated turn-off resources;

if not, activating the partial turn-off resources in the current period according to the difference value between the transmission time length and the first time length, wherein the activated partial turn-off resources are adjacent to the turn-on resources, transmitting the data on the turn-on resources and the activated partial turn-off resources, and switching the turn-on state to the turn-off state on the rest turn-off resources which are not activated.

That is, when the data cannot be completely transmitted on the on resource in the current period, the off resource in the current period needs to be activated to enable the data to be transmitted in the current period. When the transmission duration is longer than or equal to the duration of the current period, all the turn-off resources in the current period need to be activated, and when the transmission duration is shorter than the duration of the current period, only part of the turn-off resources in the current period need to be activated, and the rest turn-off resources which are not activated are switched from the on state to the off state. Therefore, energy conservation can be realized, normal data transmission can be guaranteed, and user experience is improved.

According to another aspect of the present invention, there is also provided a timeslot format configuration method, including:

sending a time Slot Format Indication (SFI) dynamic configuration signaling to the UE;

indicating the UE to modify part or all fixed time slots under semi-static configuration into other time slot formats according to the SFI dynamic configuration signaling; and/or modifying part or all of the flexible time slots under the semi-static configuration into energy-saving time slots which are not used for data transmission.

In the invention, because the fixed time slot comprises the uplink time slot and the downlink time slot under the semi-static configuration, the base station sends an SFI dynamic configuration signaling to the UE, and the uplink time slot and/or the downlink time slot under the semi-static configuration can be modified into other time slot formats, thereby not only realizing the modification of the fixed time slot under the semi-static configuration, but also modifying the uplink time slot and/or the downlink time slot under the semi-static configuration into an energy-saving time slot which is not used for data transmission, or modifying part or all flexible time slots under the semi-static configuration into energy-saving time slots which are not used for data transmission, wherein the energy-saving time slot does not need the base station to monitor whether the data to be transmitted exists in real time, thereby greatly reducing the waste of monitoring resources and achieving the purpose.

receiving a time slot format indication SFI dynamic configuration signaling sent by a base station;

modifying part or all fixed time slots under semi-static configuration into other time slot formats according to the SFI dynamic configuration signaling; and/or modifying part or all of the flexible time slots under the semi-static configuration into energy-saving time slots which are not used for data transmission.

In the invention, because the fixed time slot comprises the uplink time slot and the downlink time slot under the semi-static configuration, the uplink time slot and/or the downlink time slot under the semi-static configuration can be modified into other time slot formats by receiving an SFI dynamic configuration signaling sent by the base station through the UE, thereby not only realizing the modification of the fixed time slot under the semi-static configuration, but also modifying the uplink time slot and/or the downlink time slot under the semi-static configuration into an energy-saving time slot which is not used for data transmission, or modifying part or all flexible time slots under the semi-static configuration into energy-saving time slots which are not used for data transmission, wherein the energy-saving time slot does not need the base station to monitor whether the data to be transmitted exists in real time, thereby greatly reducing the waste of monitoring resources and achieving the purpose.

Specifically, the modifying of part or all of the fixed time slots under the semi-static configuration into other time slot formats includes:

modifying part or all uplink time slots under the semi-static configuration into downlink time slots and/or energy-saving time slots which are not used for data transmission; and/or the presence of a gas in the gas,

and modifying part or all downlink time slots under the semi-static configuration into uplink time slots and/or energy-saving time slots which are not used for data transmission.

By modifying the uplink time slot and/or the downlink time slot into the energy-saving time slot which is not used for data transmission, the waste of monitoring resources can be greatly reduced, and the purpose of energy saving is achieved. The fixed time slot under semi-static configuration in the prior art can be modified by modifying the uplink time slot into the downlink time slot and/or modifying the downlink time slot into the uplink time slot, so that the time slot format under semi-static configuration can be dynamically configured according to the transmission requirement, and the transmission efficiency is improved.

Detailed Description

The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention, and it is obvious that the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, and not all of the embodiments. All other embodiments, which can be derived by a person skilled in the art from the embodiments given herein without making any creative effort, shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

The first embodiment is as follows:

in the prior art, when cell energy saving is realized, a base station needs to decide on or off of a cell according to data transmission quantity. Therefore, when the existing energy-saving method is adopted, only the cell level long period is started and configured, and if a certain cell is always in a dormant state and a user needs data scheduling, the user experience is reduced.

Therefore, to overcome the above problem, an embodiment of the present invention provides a resource allocation method, as shown in fig. 2, the method includes the following steps:

step S201: and the base station sends resource configuration signaling to the UE.

Since the cell accessed by the UE may be a primary serving cell or a secondary serving cell, in the embodiment of the present invention, the step S201 of sending the resource configuration signaling to the UE includes:

That is, when the cell accessed by the UE is the primary serving cell, the base station may send the RMSI semi-static configuration signaling or RRC signaling to the UE; and when the cell accessed by the UE is the auxiliary service cell, the configuration information of the auxiliary service cell currently accessed by the UE can be sent to the UE through the main service cell within the coverage range of the base station, so that the UE performs resource configuration according to the resource configuration signaling.

Step S202: and instructing the UE to configure the resources corresponding to each period as starting resources for data transmission and stopping the data transmission according to the resource configuration signaling.

Step S203: and the UE receives the resource configuration signaling sent by the base station.

Step S204: and configuring the resources corresponding to each period as starting resources for data transmission and stopping the data transmission according to the resource configuration signaling.

Specifically, the turn-on resource and the turn-off resource may both include a plurality of radio frames, but each radio frame has a fixed duration of 10ms, so to further perform detailed configuration on the transmission resource, in the embodiment of the present invention, the turn-on resource and the turn-off resource in each period are determined by using the minimum transmission structure, that is, a time slot, in the radio frame as a partition unit.

Specifically, when configuring the ON-resources and the Off-resources in units of time slots, the division manner shown in fig. 3 may be adopted, where ON denotes the ON-resources and Off denotes the Off-resources. If the duration of each period is 20ms, the corresponding first duration for turning on the resource can be set to 5ms, and the corresponding second duration for turning off the resource is set to 15 ms; or setting the corresponding first time length for starting the resources to 10ms, and then correspondingly setting the second time length for shutting down the resources to 10 ms; or the corresponding first duration for turning on the resource is set to 15ms, and then the corresponding second duration for turning off the resource is set to 5 ms. Therefore, in the embodiment of the present invention, the turn-on resource corresponds to a first duration, the turn-off resource corresponds to a second duration, and the first duration and the second duration are the same or different. It should be understood that, in the embodiment of the present invention, the configuration ratio of the first duration for turning on the resource and the second duration for turning off the resource in each period is not particularly limited.

Because the time corresponding to each time slot is set according to the subcarrier interval, and the time corresponding to each time slot is the same, when the starting resource and the turn-off resource are configured, the first time length corresponding to the starting resource and the second time length corresponding to the turn-off resource can be determined by setting the number of the time slots included in the starting resource or the turn-off resource. Because the first duration is the same as or different from the second duration, the number of timeslots included in the on-resource and the off-resource may be the same or different.

If the duration of each period is 20ms, and the time corresponding to each time slot is set to 0.5ms, when the division manner shown in fig. 3 is adopted, ON is also used to indicate that the resource is turned ON, and Off is used to indicate that the resource is turned Off. Specifically, when the number of time slots in the starting resource in each period is set to 10 and the number of time slots in the shutting down resource is set to 30, the first time duration corresponding to the starting resource is 5ms, and the second time duration corresponding to the shutting down resource is 15 ms; or the number of the time slots in the turn-on resource and the turn-off resource in each period can be set to 20, so that the first time length corresponding to the turn-on resource and the second time length corresponding to the turn-off resource are both 10 ms; or the number of the time slots in the on resource in each period may be set to 30, and the number of the time slots in the off resource may be set to 10, so as to achieve that the first duration corresponding to the on resource is 15ms, and the second duration corresponding to the off resource is 5 ms. It should be noted that, the time slots included in the turn-on resource and the turn-off resource are all a plurality of consecutive time slots. Each period corresponds to a transmission period at the frame level.

Therefore, in the embodiment of the present invention, the resources corresponding to each frame level period are divided into the on resources for data transmission and the off resources for stopping data transmission. The cell in the coverage area of the base station and the UE accessing the cell can be automatically switched from the on state to the off state correspondingly along with the switching from the on resource to the off resource in each period, so as to realize the cell energy saving. Meanwhile, with the updating of the period, the switching-off resource of the previous period is changed to the switching-on resource of the current period, and the cells and the UE accessing the cells within the coverage area of the base station can be automatically switched from the switching-off state to the switching-on state correspondingly, so that the data transmission is realized.

Therefore, in the embodiment of the invention, the automatic switching between the on state and the off state of the cell and the UE can be realized without sending the energy-saving activation instruction and the energy-saving deactivation instruction by the base station, so that the resource consumption is reduced, the energy-saving purpose is achieved, the data transmission can be ensured, and the user experience is improved.

It should be further noted that, in the embodiment of the present invention, the number of time slots in the on resource or the off resource may also be set to 0, and if the duration of each cycle is 20ms, and the time corresponding to each time slot is set to 0.5ms, then the number of corresponding off resources or on resources is set to 40. When the number of the time slots in the starting resources in the period is set to be 0, and the number of the time slots in the shutting down resources is set to be 40, that is, all the resources corresponding to the period are set to be shutting down resources; and when the number of the time slots in the on resource in the period is set to 40, the number of the time slots in the off resource is set to 0, that is, all the resources corresponding to the period are set as the on resources.

Therefore, in the embodiment of the invention, the on-resources and the off-resources in each period can be set according to the current service requirement or the data transmission quantity, and the setting mode is more flexible. In addition, because the first duration and the second duration in each period are all in millisecond level, compared with the prior art, long-time waiting does not exist, so that even if a sudden service request occurs in a turn-off state, the sudden service request can be responded quickly, the influence on the sudden service is avoided, the data transmission is ensured, and the user experience degree can be improved.

Example two:

on the basis of the foregoing embodiment, in an embodiment of the present invention, a data transmission method is provided to implement data transmission based on the resource configuration method provided in the foregoing embodiment, as shown in fig. 4, the data transmission method includes:

step S401: and when the starting resource entering the current period is monitored, judging whether the electronic equipment is in a turn-off state. Wherein each cycle comprises turning on resources and turning off resources.

Step S402: if the data to be transmitted exists, judging whether the data can be completely transmitted on the starting resource.

Step S403: and if so, transmitting the data on the starting resource, and switching the self starting state to the closing state on a closing resource which is behind the starting resource and adjacent to the starting resource.

As can be seen from the foregoing embodiments, the resources corresponding to each frame level period are divided into on resources and off resources, where the on resources can be used for data transmission; and shutting down the resource stops data transmission. Therefore, after configuring the transmission resource based on the method in the first embodiment, when using the resource to perform data transmission, and when entering the turn-on frame of the current period, it is determined whether the electronic device performing data transmission based on the resource is in the turn-off state, where the electronic device is a base station or a UE, and if the electronic device is still in the turn-off state, the electronic device switches itself from the turn-off state to the turn-on state.

Specifically, after the electronic device is in an on state, whether data to be transmitted exists in a current period needs to be monitored in real time, and if the data to be transmitted does not exist in the current period, the electronic device is switched from the on state to an off state when resources are turned off.

However, if there is data to be transmitted in the current period, it needs to be determined whether the data can be completely transmitted on the open resource of the current period, where the determining whether the data can be completely transmitted on the open resource of the current period in step S402 includes:

determining a transmission duration required for transmitting the data;

That is to say, if the data to be transmitted is uplink data, the uplink transmission time length required for transmitting the data needs to be calculated according to the current uplink transmission rate and the data volume of the data, and the uplink transmission time length is used as the transmission time length; if the data to be transmitted is downlink data, calculating downlink transmission time length required for transmitting the data according to the current downlink transmission rate and the data volume of the data, and taking the downlink transmission time length as the transmission time length; and if the data to be transmitted comprises both uplink data and downlink data, taking the sum of the uplink transmission time length and the downlink transmission time length as the transmission time length.

And then comparing the transmission duration with the first duration corresponding to the starting resource, if the transmission duration is less than the first duration corresponding to the starting resource, indicating that the data can be completely transmitted on the starting resource, only transmitting the data on the starting resource in the current period, and after the data transmission is finished, simultaneously switching the base station and the UE from the starting state to the closing state on the closing resource which is behind the starting resource and adjacent to the starting resource.

Therefore, in the embodiment of the invention, the data to be transmitted can be transmitted on the starting resource when the base station and the UE are in the starting state, and the data transmission is stopped when the base station and the UE are in the closing state. Therefore, the data transmission method provided by the embodiment of the invention can reduce resource consumption, realize energy saving, complete data transmission and improve user experience.

In addition, because the duration of each period is controlled within milliseconds, if a sudden service request occurs in the current period when both the base station and the UE are in the off state, the transmission of response data can also be performed in the next period of the current period, and no longer waiting time exists, so that the influence on the sudden service can be avoided, and the user experience can be improved.

Example three:

and when the transmission duration is compared with the first duration corresponding to the starting resource, if the transmission duration is greater than or equal to the first duration corresponding to the starting resource, the data cannot be completely transmitted on the starting resource. Therefore, on the basis of the foregoing embodiment, in the embodiment of the present invention, after determining that the data cannot be completely transmitted on the open resource of the current period, the method further includes:

That is, if the data to be transmitted cannot be completely transmitted on the open resource, it needs to be further determined whether the data can be completely transmitted on the resource in the current period, so that the transmission duration needs to be compared with the duration of the current period.

When the transmission duration is greater than or equal to the duration of the current period, it indicates that all the turn-on resources and all the turn-off resources in the current period are used for data transmission, and therefore, in order to ensure that the data can be completely transmitted, all the turn-off resources in the current period need to be activated. At this time, when the shutdown resource is used for data transmission, a state diagram of the resource corresponding to the cycle is shown in fig. 5, where all the activated shutdown resources correspond to Inactive time in fig. 5.

When the transmission duration is shorter than the duration of the current period, it indicates that all the on resources and only part of the off resources in the current period are used for data transmission, so that the data can be completely transmitted while only part of the off resources in the current period need to be activated. At this time, when the partial shutdown resource is used for data transmission, a state diagram of the resource corresponding to the period is shown in fig. 6, where a duration of the activated partial shutdown resource is determined by a difference between a transmission duration and a first duration corresponding to the startup resource, and corresponds to the Inactive time in fig. 6. In fig. 6, the Inactive time is the rest of the Inactive shutdown resources, and both the base station and the UE switch their own states from the on state to the off state on the Inactive rest of the shutdown resources for energy saving.

As can be seen from the above, in the embodiment of the present invention, when data to be transmitted cannot be completely transmitted on the on resource in the current period, the off resource to be activated may be determined according to the amount of the data to be transmitted, and after the data transmission is completed, the base station and the UE may also automatically switch between the off state and the on state.

Example four:

on the basis of the foregoing embodiment, when data transmission is performed based on the resource allocation method provided in the foregoing embodiment, the transmission process of each period is as shown in fig. 7, and specifically includes the following processes:

step S701: when monitoring the starting resources entering the current period, judging whether the starting resources are in a turn-off state, if so, entering a step S702, and if not, directly entering the step S703;

step S702: switching the self-off state to the on state, and entering the step S703;

step S703: monitoring whether data to be transmitted exist or not, if so, entering step S704, and if not, directly entering step S705;

step S704: judging whether the transmission time length for transmitting the data is less than or equal to a first time length corresponding to the starting resource, if so, entering a step S706, and if not, directly entering a step S707;

step S705: when the resources are turned off in the current period, switching the self-starting state into a sleep mode, and ending the current period;

step S706: transmitting the data on the starting resource, switching the self starting state into the switching-off state on the switching-off resource which is behind the starting resource and adjacent to the starting resource, and ending the current period;

step S707: judging whether the transmission time length for transmitting the data is greater than or equal to the time length of the current period, if so, entering step S708, and if not, entering step S709;

step S708: activating all turn-off resources in the current period, transmitting the data on all turn-on resources in the current period and all activated turn-off resources, and ending the current period;

step S709: and activating part of turn-off resources in the current period according to the difference value between the transmission time length and the first time length corresponding to the turn-on resources, transmitting the data on all the turn-on resources and the activated part of turn-off resources in the current period, switching the turn-on state of the turn-off resources to the turn-off state on the rest of the turn-off resources which are not activated, and finishing the current period.

Therefore, after the transmission resources are configured based on the resource configuration method provided by the embodiment, and when data transmission is performed based on the configured transmission resources, energy saving can be achieved, normal transmission of data can be guaranteed, and user experience is improved.

Example five:

in the prior art, when a radio frame is dynamically configured based on semi-static configuration, only flexible time slots can be modified, fixed time slots cannot be modified, and in the actual data transmission process, a base station needs to monitor whether data to be transmitted exists in each fixed time slot, so that monitoring resources are wasted.

Therefore, to overcome the above technical problem, an embodiment of the present invention further provides a timeslot format configuration method, as shown in fig. 8, the method includes the following steps:

step S801: and the base station sends a time slot format indication SFI dynamic configuration signaling to the UE.

Step S802: indicating the UE to modify part or all fixed time slots under semi-static configuration into other time slot formats according to the SFI dynamic configuration signaling; and/or modifying part or all of the flexible time slots under the semi-static configuration into energy-saving time slots which are not used for data transmission.

Step S803: and the UE receives the SFI dynamic configuration signaling sent by the base station.

Step S804: modifying part or all fixed time slots under semi-static configuration into other time slot formats according to the SFI dynamic configuration signaling; and/or modifying part or all of the flexible time slots under the semi-static configuration into energy-saving time slots which are not used for data transmission.

As can be seen from the above description, in the embodiment of the present invention, the base station sends the SFI dynamic configuration signaling to the UE, so that part or all of the fixed time slots under the semi-static configuration can be modified, and the technical problem in the prior art that the fixed time slots cannot be modified can be overcome.

Because the fixed time slot may be an uplink time slot for uplink transmission under semi-static configuration or a downlink time slot for downlink transmission, in the embodiment of the present invention, modifying part or all of the fixed time slots under semi-static configuration into other time slot formats includes:

Specifically, when modifying part or all of the uplink timeslots under the semi-static configuration into downlink timeslots and/or energy-saving timeslots not used for data transmission, as shown in fig. 9, part or all of the uplink timeslots under the semi-static configuration may be modified into downlink timeslots; as shown in fig. 10, part or all of the uplink timeslots in the semi-static configuration may also be modified into energy-saving timeslots not used for data transmission; as shown in fig. 11, part or all of the uplink timeslots in the semi-static configuration may be modified into the downlink timeslots and the energy-saving timeslots not used for data transmission. In fig. 9 to 11, U denotes an uplink time slot, D denotes a downlink time slot, and E denotes an energy-saving time slot that is not used for data transmission.

Specifically, when modifying part or all of the downlink timeslots under the semi-static configuration into the uplink timeslots and/or the energy-saving timeslots not used for data transmission, as shown in fig. 12, part or all of the downlink timeslots under the semi-static configuration may be modified into the uplink timeslots; as shown in fig. 13, part or all of the downlink timeslots under the semi-static configuration may be modified into energy-saving timeslots not used for data transmission; as shown in fig. 14, part or all of the downlink timeslots in the semi-static configuration may be modified into the uplink timeslots and the energy-saving timeslots not used for data transmission. In fig. 12 to 14, U denotes an uplink time slot, D denotes a downlink time slot, and E denotes an energy-saving time slot that is not used for data transmission.

The uplink time slot and/or the downlink time slot under the semi-static configuration are/is modified into the energy-saving time slot which is not used for data transmission, so that the waste of monitoring resources can be greatly reduced, and the aim of saving energy is fulfilled. The fixed time slot under semi-static configuration in the prior art can be modified by modifying the uplink time slot into the downlink time slot and/or modifying the downlink time slot into the uplink time slot, so that the time slot format under semi-static configuration can be dynamically configured according to the transmission requirement, and the transmission efficiency is improved.

It should be understood that, although some embodiments are provided only for modifying part or all of the fixed timeslots, in the embodiment of the present invention, the modification manner of the fixed timeslots is not particularly limited, and other manners of modifying the fixed timeslots are also within the protection scope of the embodiment of the present invention.

Specifically, when modifying part or all of the flexible timeslots in the semi-static configuration to energy-saving timeslots not used for data transmission, as shown in fig. 15, part of the flexible timeslots may be modified to energy-saving timeslots not used for data transmission; it is also possible to modify the full flexible time slot to a power saving time slot not used for data transmission as shown in fig. 16. In fig. 15 to 16, U denotes an uplink time slot, D denotes a downlink time slot, and E denotes an energy-saving time slot that is not used for data transmission.

The flexible time slot under the semi-static configuration is modified into the energy-saving time slot which is not used for data transmission, so that the base station is not required to monitor each energy-saving time slot, the waste of monitoring resources can be greatly reduced, and the purpose of saving energy is achieved.

Therefore, the time slot format configuration method provided by the embodiment of the invention can greatly reduce the waste of monitoring resources and achieve the purpose of energy saving while realizing the modification of the fixed time slot under the semi-static configuration.
