The present invention relates to the field of communications, and in particular, to a resource allocation method, a terminal device, and a network device.

Background

At present, Before a New Radio (NR) mobile communication system (NR system for short) transmits information in an unlicensed frequency band, a terminal device or a network device needs to perform a Channel Clear Assessment (CCA) or an extended Channel Clear assessment (eCCA) to monitor a Channel, that is, perform Energy Detection (ED), if detected Energy is lower than a certain threshold, the Channel is determined to be empty, and when the Channel is idle, transmission may be started, that is, a Listen-Before-Talk (LBT) avoidance monitoring mechanism is performed. Because the unlicensed frequency band is shared by multiple technologies or multiple transmission points, the channel available time has uncertainty due to a contention-based channel access mode, the channel access opportunity is small, and the problems of low resource utilization flexibility and efficiency exist at the same time.

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 some, not all, embodiments of the present invention. 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.

With respect to the LBT mechanism set forth in the background section, the types of LBT that are currently explicitly available for use in unlicensed bands in the fifth Generation mobile communication technology (5-Generation, 5G) communication system may include the following three:

(1) LBT Cat 1: before sending information, the information is sent without any CAA, and the type is required to be used under the condition that a channel is obtained and the interval of transmission conversion is less than 16 mu s;

(2) LBT Cat 2: before sending information, channel interception of 25 μ s or 16 μ s is carried out, a specific signal acquisition channel can be used, and the maximum continuous transmission length should be smaller than a certain value, such as 1 ms;

(3) LBT Cat 4: before sending information, channel interception of fusion random backspacing is carried out, parameters with different priorities are set differently, and the maximum length which can be transmitted after obtaining the channel is also different.

In addition, in the standard discussion of time domain configuration of unlicensed frequency band in 5G communication system, there are two options for time domain resources based on configuration grant (configured grant) transmission:

(1) enhancement of the periodic configuration of the configured grant based on the NR in the protocol version R15.

(2) Enhancement of bitmap file (bitmap) configuration based on Automatic UpLink (AUL) in Further enhanced authorization assisted Access (FeLAA).

In the related art, in order to enhance flexibility of time domain resource allocation and increase opportunities of channel access, and solve the problems of small opportunities of channel access and inflexible resource allocation, resource allocation with smaller granularity (mini-slot) and allocation of multiple resources within a period may be considered. A User Equipment (UE), also called a terminal device, may transmit in a corresponding resource block according to LBT results at a position where transmission starts according to configured time domain resources.

Further, in the standard discussion of enhanced Ultra-high-reliability and low-latency Communications (eURLLC), in order to increase the reliability of data transmission and reduce latency, a configuration of multiple configuration grant may be supported by one BWP (Bandwidth Part) on one carrier, where a UE may select a certain configuration to transmit data according to the time of service arrival and the type of service.

In addition, it may also be considered whether to start transmitting data after the start position of the resource block according to the LBT result, which may specifically include the following several cases:

(1) if the LBT result can be used and the resource block is transmitted based on the slot in the time domain, the UE needs to transmit after puncturing (starting) the data after the LBT is successful, and if the successful position of the LBT is close to the position where the slot is ended, the data needs to be transmitted by a large part of the starting, which has the problem of low actual transmission efficiency.

(2) If the LBT result can be used and the resource block is transmitted based on the micro slot mini-slot in the time domain, the UE also needs to perform post-processing transmission on the data after the LBT is successful, and the number of HARQ (hybrid automatic repeat request) processes is increased. Since each Physical Uplink Shared Channel (PUSCH) carries Uplink Control Information (UCI), this situation has a problem of increasing overhead of Control signaling.

(3) If the result according to the LBT is not possible and the resource block is transmitted based on the slot in the time domain, the UE can only transmit data at the beginning of each slot, and if the LBT fails in the current slot, the LBT can be performed again only in the next slot, which can reduce the resource utilization rate and the chance of channel access.

(4) This situation increases the chance of channel access but at the same time also increases the number of HARQ processes if the result according to LBT is not possible and the resource blocks are transmitted in the time domain on a micro-slot basis mini-slot basis. And each PUSCH carries the UCI, so that the overhead of control signaling is increased.

Therefore, how to reduce the number of HARQ processes, reduce the overhead of control signaling, and increase the flexibility and efficiency of resource utilization on the premise of increasing the channel access opportunity needs to be considered.

The technical solutions provided by the embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

Referring to fig. 1, an embodiment of the present invention provides a resource allocation method, which is applied to a terminal device. The method comprises the following steps:

step 103: a plurality of configuration authorization configurations are received.

Optionally, the time granularities of the plurality of configuration authorization configurations are different. That is, the network device may match a unique corresponding time granularity for each configuration grant configuration, wherein the time granularity includes, but is not limited to, 1 slot (slot), 2 symbols (symbol), 7 symbols (symbol), and 4 symbols (symbol).

Further optionally, the indexes of the plurality of configuration authorization configurations are different. That is, the network device may match a unique corresponding index for each configuration authorization configuration.

Further optionally, the reference signal parameters of the plurality of configuration authorization configurations are different. The network device may match a unique reference signal parameter for each configuration authorization configuration, where the reference signal parameter includes, but is not limited to, a Position, a Port, and a scrambling code scrimblingid.

Step 105: and under the condition that Listen Before Talk (LBT) succeeds in the first slot, transmitting a first Physical Uplink Shared Channel (PUSCH) according to a first configuration authorization configuration in the plurality of configuration authorization configurations.

Optionally, in the resource configuration method according to the embodiment of the present invention, in order to achieve the purpose of reducing the number of blind tests of the network device, the terminal device may enable the network device to know, in different manners, a second configuration authorization configuration of the multiple configuration authorization configurations that the terminal device transmits the second PUSCH after the terminal device transmits the first PUSCH.

Optionally, the second PUSCH is a first PUSCH transmitted by the terminal device after the first PUSCH; or the second PUSCH is a PUSCH transmitted in a second slot, and the second slot is a first slot after the first slot.

Optionally, in a specific embodiment of indicating the second configuration authorization configuration, the uplink control information UCI carried on the first PUSCH includes first indication information, where the first indication information is used to indicate the second configuration authorization configuration adopted by the terminal device for transmitting the second PUSCH.

It can be understood that the second configuration grant configuration used by the PUSCH (i.e., the second PUSCH) for the next transmission is indicated by including, i.e., the first indication information in the UCI.

Optionally, in the resource configuration method according to the embodiment of the present invention, the first indication information for indicating the second configuration authorization configuration adopted by the terminal device to transmit the second PUSCH may implement explicit indication of the second configuration authorization configuration in different manners, so as to implement diversity of the configuration authorization configuration indication.

Optionally, in a specific embodiment of the first indication information, the first indication information is used to indicate whether the second configuration authorization configuration is the same as the first configuration authorization configuration.

It is understood that whether the second configuration authorization configuration is the same as the first configuration authorization configuration is indicated by the first indication information included in the UCI.

For example, if the configuredgonfig field (i.e. the first indication information) included in the UCI is "0", the configured grant configuration (the configuration grant configuration) that can be used for the PUSCH for the next transmission is not changed, i.e. the second configuration grant configuration is the same as the first configuration grant configuration; if the configured grant configuration field included in the UCI is "1", the configured grant configuration that can be used on behalf of the PUSCH of the next transmission may be changed, i.e. the second configuration grant configuration is different from the first configuration grant configuration.

Further, when the configured grant configuration used by the terminal device on the PUSCH of the next transmission is not changed, the network device may demodulate the data of the next PUSCH transmission according to the first configuration grant configuration without blind detection; when the configured grant configuration used by the terminal device on the PUSCH for the next transmission is changed, the network device may determine, through the blind detection reference signal, the second configuration grant configuration in the other configuration grant configurations except the first configuration grant configuration among the multiple configuration grant configurations, that is, by reducing the range of the blind detection, the network device may save the number of blind detections.

Optionally, in another specific embodiment of the first indication information, the first indication information is used to indicate an index of the second configuration authorization configuration, where a bit number of the first indication information is related to a total number of the plurality of configuration authorization configurations.

It can be understood that the index of the second configuration authorization configuration is directly indicated by the first indication information included in the UCI, so that the network device determines the configuration authorization configuration indicated by the index as the second configuration authorization configuration, directly and explicitly, and thus, the network device can demodulate data transmitted by the next PUSCH according to the configuration indicated by the terminal device without blind detection. The bit number of the first indication information is related to the total number of the plurality of configuration authorization configurations, so that the bit number can be fully utilized, and waste is avoided.

For example, the index of the configured grant configuration used by the PUSCH of the next transmission is indicated by the configgradtconfigundidex field (i.e., the first indication information) included in the UCI.

Optionally, in another specific embodiment that indicates the second configuration authorization configuration, the resource configuration method according to the embodiment of the present invention further includes:

and determining a second configuration authorization configuration adopted for transmitting a second PUSCH according to the target time information, wherein the target time information comprises the preparation duration of the PUSCH.

The preparation time length of the PUSCH can be determined according to the PUSCH preparation capability of the terminal equipment; specifically, the terminal device reports the PUSCH preparation capability, and the network device may determine the preparation duration of the PUSCH according to the PUSCH preparation capability of the terminal device.

Optionally, in the resource configuration method according to the embodiment of the present invention, the target time information of the second configuration authorization configuration used by the network device to determine that the terminal device transmits the second PUSCH may be configured with different content combinations to realize an unspecified indication of the second configuration authorization configuration, so as to realize diversity of the configuration authorization configuration indications.

Optionally, in a specific embodiment of the target time information, the target time information further includes an interval duration between a transmission start time of the first PUSCH and an end time of the first slot;

the determining, according to the target time information, a second configuration authorization configuration used for transmitting a second PUSCH may specifically include the following steps:

determining one of the target configuration authorization configurations as a second configuration authorization configuration under the condition that the interval duration is greater than the preparation duration, wherein the time granularity of the target configuration authorization configuration is greater than that of the first configuration authorization configuration; or

And determining the first configuration authorization configuration as the second configuration authorization configuration under the condition that the interval duration is less than the preparation duration.

It can be understood that if the interval duration is greater than the preparation duration, the terminal device may be considered to be ready for data transmitted by the next PUSCH (i.e. the second PUSCH) in the interval duration, and thus, the configuration authorization configuration with a larger time granularity may be used when transmitting the next PUSCH; if the interval duration is less than the preparation duration, the terminal device is considered to be unable to prepare data for transmission of a next PUSCH (i.e. a second PUSCH) within the interval duration, so that the first configuration grant configuration may be continuously used when the next PUSCH is transmitted, and further, the configuration grant configuration with larger time granularity may be used when the next PUSCH after the PUSCH is transmitted.

Optionally, in another specific embodiment of the target time information, the target time information further includes a transmission start time of the first PUSCH;

determining a second configuration authorization configuration adopted for transmitting a second PUSCH according to the target time information, wherein the determining comprises:

determining one of the target configuration grant configurations as a second configuration grant configuration if the transmission start time of the second PUSCH is located after the target time;

the time granularity of the target configuration authorization configuration is larger than that of the first configuration authorization configuration, and the target time is an end time after a preparation time length by taking the transmission starting time of the first PUSCH as a starting point.

It can be understood that, when the network device learns the PUSCH preparation time of the terminal device, it may be considered that the terminal device may prepare data for next PUSCH transmission within the PUSCH preparation time, and after the time point when the terminal device starts to send data after robbing the channel and the PUSCH preparation time, that is, after transmitting the first PUSCH, the terminal device may continue to transmit the PUSCH by using the configuration authorization configuration with the larger time granularity.

Optionally, in any of the foregoing specific embodiments, the UCI in the first PUSCH includes second indication information, where the second indication information is used to indicate whether the terminal device transmits the PUSCH on the time domain resource corresponding to the second PUSCH in the second slot or the first slot.

It can be understood that when the UCI in the first PUSCH includes the second indication information to indicate that the end device transmits the PUSCH in the second slot or on the time domain resource corresponding to the second PUSCH in the first slot, the network device may further determine the second configuration authorization configuration based on this to decode the uplink data, and if the second indication information indicates that the end device does not transmit the PUSCH in the second slot or the time domain resource corresponding to the second PUSCH in the first slot, the network device does not determine that the second configuration authorization configuration is necessary; that is to say, the network device is instructed by the second indication information to perform the operation of determining the second configuration authorization configuration when necessary, so that the power consumption is reduced, and the resources are saved.

Optionally, in the resource allocation method according to the embodiment of the present invention, the method may further include the following steps:

transmitting a second PUSCH according to a second configuration grant configuration.

It is to be understood that, after the second configuration grant configuration is determined, the second PUSCH can be transmitted based on the second configuration grant configuration, and the complete information transmission process is implemented.

Corresponding to the resource allocation method executed by the terminal device in fig. 1, an embodiment of the present invention further provides a resource allocation method, which is applied to a network device. Referring to fig. 2, the method includes:

step 201: and sending a plurality of configuration authorization configurations to the terminal equipment.

Optionally, the time granularities of the plurality of configuration authorization configurations are different. That is, the network device may match a unique corresponding time granularity for each configuration grant configuration, wherein the time granularity includes, but is not limited to, one slot (slot), 2 symbols (symbol), 7 symbols (symbol), and 4 symbols (symbol).

Step 203: and determining a first configuration authorization configuration adopted by the terminal equipment for transmitting a first Physical Uplink Shared Channel (PUSCH) from a plurality of configuration authorization configurations through a blind detection reference signal, wherein the first PUSCH is transmitted after the successful Listen Before Talk (LBT) in a first time slot.

In the embodiment of the present invention, when information transmission is performed in an unlicensed frequency band, a network device generates a plurality of configuration grant configurations in advance, configures the plurality of configuration grant configurations for a terminal device, and further determines, after a terminal device LBT succeeds in contending for a channel and transmits a PUSCH using one of the plurality of configuration grant configurations, a configuration grant configuration used when the terminal device transmits information in a manner of blind detection of a reference signal, so as to perform decoding of uplink data according to the configuration. Therefore, the aim of improving the flexibility and the efficiency of resource utilization can be achieved by realizing the consistent understanding of the configuration modes between the terminal equipment and the network equipment, namely when the terminal equipment works in an unauthorized frequency band, configuring a plurality of configuration authorization configurations for the terminal equipment to realize information transmission.

Optionally, for a second PUSCH transmitted by the terminal device after the first PUSCH, the second configuration authorization configuration adopted when the second PUSCH is transmitted may be determined in different manners.

The second PUSCH is a first PUSCH transmitted by the terminal device after the first PUSCH; or the second PUSCH is a PUSCH transmitted in a second slot, and the second slot is a first slot after the first slot.

In a specific embodiment of determining the second configuration authorization configuration, the resource configuration method according to the embodiment of the present invention may further include:

and determining a second configuration authorization configuration adopted by the terminal equipment for transmitting a second PUSCH from the plurality of configuration authorization configurations through blind detection of the reference signal.

It can be understood that the network device continues to determine, by means of blind detection of the reference signal, the second configuration grant configuration adopted by the terminal device for transmitting the second PUSCH.

Optionally, in the resource configuration method according to the embodiment of the present invention, in order to achieve the purpose of reducing the number of blind tests of the network device, the network device may learn, in different manners, a second configuration authorization configuration that is used for transmitting a second PUSCH after the terminal device finishes transmitting the first PUSCH, based on corresponding information from the terminal device.

In another specific embodiment of determining the second configuration authorization configuration, the uplink control information carried on the first PUSCH includes first indication information; the resource allocation method of the embodiment of the invention may further include:

and determining a second configuration authorization configuration adopted by the terminal equipment for transmitting a second PUSCH according to the first indication information.

It can be understood that the second configuration grant configuration used for the PUSCH (i.e. the second PUSCH) for the next transmission is determined by including, i.e. the first indication information in the UCI.

Optionally, in a specific embodiment of the first indication information, the first indication information is used to indicate whether the second configuration authorization configuration is the same as the first configuration authorization configuration;

determining, according to the first indication information, a second configuration authorization configuration adopted by the terminal device for transmitting a second PUSCH, including:

and if the first indication information indicates the same, determining a second configuration authorization configuration from other configuration authorization configurations except the first configuration authorization configuration in the plurality of configuration authorization configurations by blindly detecting the reference signal.

Further, the determining, according to the first indication information, a second configuration authorization configuration adopted by the terminal device for transmitting a second PUSCH further includes:

and if the first indication information indicates different, determining the first configuration authorization configuration as a second configuration authorization configuration.

It is to be understood that it may be determined whether the second configuration authorization configuration is the same as the first configuration authorization configuration according to the first indication information included in the UCI.

Optionally, in another specific embodiment of the first indication information, the first indication information is used to indicate an index of the second configuration authorization configuration, where a bit number of the first indication information is related to a total number of the plurality of configuration authorization configurations;

and determining the configuration authorization configuration indicated by the index as a second configuration authorization configuration.

It can be understood that the index of the second configuration authorization configuration is directly determined according to the first indication information included in the UCI, and then the configuration authorization configuration indicated by the index is determined as the second configuration authorization configuration, which is direct and explicit, so that the network device can demodulate data transmitted by the next PUSCH according to the configuration indicated by the terminal device without blind detection. The bit number of the first indication information is related to the total number of the plurality of configuration authorization configurations, so that the bit number can be fully utilized, and waste is avoided.

For example, the index of the configured grant configuration used by the PUSCH of the next transmission is determined according to the configured grant configindex field (i.e., the first indication information) included in the UCI.

In another specific embodiment of determining the second configuration authorization configuration, the resource configuration method according to the embodiment of the present invention may further include:

and determining a second configuration authorization configuration adopted by the terminal equipment for transmitting a second PUSCH according to the target time information, wherein the target time information comprises the preparation duration of the PUSCH.

in case the second indication information indicates transmission of PUSCH, a second configuration grant configuration is determined.

The following describes a specific scheme of the resource allocation method according to the embodiment of the present invention with reference to fig. 3 to 6.

As shown in fig. 3, the network device configures 2 configuration authorization configurations, where configuration 1 is transmission based on 2 symbol time granularities, configuration 2 is transmission based on 1 slot time granularities, and the two configurations correspond to different Demodulation Reference Signal (DMRS) positions.

When the UE prepares a data buffer with 2 symbol time granularities, as shown in fig. 3, the UE succeeds in the 6 th symbol lbt of slot, where 1 slot consists of 0-13 th symbols. The PUSCH transmission starts at the 8 th symbol. The UE carries UCI containing field ConfiguredGrantConfig indicating '0', which represents whether the configuration of the next PUSCH is unchanged or is transmitted based on 2 symbol time granularities, as shown in the actual transmission process in the figure.

Then, the UE prepares 1 slot data buffer, as shown in fig. 3, the UE carries UCI containing field ConfiguredGrantConfig indication '1' on the last PUSCH transmitted in slot, which represents the configuration change of the next PUSCH, and based on 1 slot time granularity transmission, the UE continues to transmit PUSCH on slot +1 based on 1 slot, as shown in the actual transmission process in the figure.

Further, if the UCI carried by the PUSCH transmitted by the UE in slot +1 includes a field burstlnnextslot (i.e., the second indication information) indicating '1', the representation indicates that there is no data transmission in the next slot.

As shown in fig. 4, the network device configures 3 configuration authorization configurations, where the ConfiguredGrantConfigIndex field of the UCI is 2 bits, indicating 3 configurations: '01' indicates configuration 1, corresponding to uplink transmission based on 2 symbol time granularities; '10' indicates configuration 2, corresponding to uplink transmission based on 1-slot time granularity; '11' indicates configuration 3, corresponding to upstream transmission based on 7-symbol time granularity.

The UE then prepares a data buffer of 2 symbols, as in fig. 4, the UE succeeds in the 6 th symbol lbt of slot, where 1 slot consists of 0-13 symbols. The PUSCH transmission starts at the 8 th symbol. The UE indicates '01' in the field configuredgrantefindex of UCI, representing the next PUSCH transmission based on configuration 1, i.e. based on 2-symbol transmission, as shown in the actual transmission procedure in the figure.

Then the UE prepares a data buffer of 7 symbols, as shown in fig. 4, the UE carries UCI containing field config grant configindex indication '11' on the last PUSCH transmitted in slot i, which represents that the next PUSCH is transmitted based on configuration 3, i.e. based on 7 symbols time granularity, and the UE continues to transmit PUSCH on slot i +1 based on 7 symbols, as shown in the actual transmission process in the figure.

Further, if the UE carries UCI containing field burstinnnextslot indication '1' on the PUSCH transmitted in slot +1, symbol7-symbol13 indicating slot +1 has no data transmission.

As shown in fig. 5, the network device configures 3 configuration grant configurations, which are respectively transmitted based on 2 symbol time granularities, 1 slot time granularities and 7symbol time granularities.

When the UE prepares a data buffer of 2 symbols, as shown in fig. 5, the UE succeeds in the 6 th symbol lbt of slot, where 1 slot consists of 0 to 13 th symbols. The PUSCH transmission starts at the 8 th symbol. The network device compares the time length T (i.e. the interval duration) from the time when the UE starts to transmit data in the current slot to the end boundary of the slot with the data preparation duration M (i.e. the preparation duration of the PUSCH), and obtains that T is greater than M. The UE prepares a data buffer of 7 symbols. At slot i +1, the UE transmits PUSCH on a basis of 7symbol time granularities, as shown by the actual transmission procedure in the figure.

Further, if the UE carries UCI containing field burstinnnextslot indication '1' on the PUSCH transmitted in slot +1, symbol7-symbol13 representing slot +1 has no data transmission.

As shown in fig. 6, the network device configures 4 configuration grant configurations, which are transmitted based on 2 symbol time granularities, 1 slot time granularities, 7symbol time granularities, and 4 symbol time granularities, respectively.

When the UE prepares a data buffer of 2 symbols, as shown in fig. 6, the UE succeeds in the 8 th symbol lbt of slot, where 1 slot consists of 0 to 13 th symbols. The PUSCH transmission starts at the 10 th symbol. After the network device starts to send data at the current slot plus the data preparation time M reported by the UE, the UE switches to transmission based on 4 symbol time granularities, as shown in the actual transmission process in the figure.

When the UE prepares a data buffer of 4 symbols, as shown in fig. 6, starting at the 3 rd symbol of slot i +1, the UE transmits PUSCH based on 4 symbol time granularities, as shown in the actual transmission process in the figure.

Further, if the UE carries UCI containing field burstlnnextslot indication '1' on the last PUSCH transmitted in slot +1, it represents that slot +2 has no data transmission, as shown in the actual transmission process in the figure.

As can be seen from the above, in the embodiment of the present invention, the network device generates multiple configuredprint configurations based on different time granularities, and the UE prepares data of different transport blocks tb (ttransport block) sizes, and specifically, when performing actual transmission, the UE selects a certain configuredprint configuration according to an LBT result to transmit corresponding data, and notifies the network device of a configuration situation for transmitting a next PUSCH use in a manner of explicit indication or non-explicit indication. Therefore, on the premise of increasing the channel access opportunity, the number of HARQ processes can be effectively reduced, the overhead of control signaling can be reduced, and the flexibility and the efficiency of resource utilization can be increased.
