Referring to fig. 3, fig. 3 shows a flow chart of an information sending method according to an embodiment of the disclosure.

The method can be applied to a terminal, and as shown in fig. 3, the method includes:

step S11, under the condition that the number of times of repeated transmission of a configured Physical Uplink Shared Channel (PUSCH) is 1 and the number of Transmission Configuration Indications (TCI) indicated by downlink indication information (DCI) is greater than or equal to 2, determining a PUSCH transmission mode according to configured PUSCH frequency hopping information;

and step S12, sending PUSCH repeated transmission according to the determined PUSCH transmission mode.

Through the above method, in the embodiment of the present disclosure, when the number of repeated transmissions of the configured physical uplink shared channel PUSCH is 1 and the number of transmission configuration indications TCI indicated by the downlink indication information DCI is greater than or equal to 2, the PUSCH transmission mode may be determined according to the configured PUSCH frequency hopping information, and the PUSCH is transmitted according to the determined PUSCH transmission mode, so as to adapt to the scene needs, and quickly determine the PUSCH transmission mode, so as to improve the communication efficiency.

In the related art, when the number of repeated transmissions of the configured physical uplink shared channel PUSCH is 1 and the number of transmission configuration indications TCI indicated by the downlink indication information DCI is greater than or equal to 2, the terminal cannot respond to this situation.

The specific type of information carried in the PUSCH is not limited in the embodiments of the present disclosure, and can be determined by those skilled in the art as needed.

Before describing possible embodiments of determining the PUSCH transmission mode according to the configured PUSCH frequency hopping information in step S11, for ease of understanding, first, an example of TRP configuration PUSCH repetition, PUSCH repetition transmission by a terminal, RV (redundancy version), frequency hopping, and the like is described.

In one example, the TRP may configure the number of repeated transmissions of the PUSCH in advance through a higher layer parameter, for example, may configure the number of repeated transmissions of the PUSCH through Radio Resource Control (RRC). Of course, the TRP may also indicate the number of repeated transmissions of the PUSCH by information in DCI (Downlink control information), and the disclosure is not limited thereto.

The TRP may configure the number of repeated transmissions of the PUSCH in different manners (PUSCH repetition types), and the terminal according to the embodiment of the disclosure may respond to the PUSCH repeated transmission manner according to the PUSCH repetition type configured by the TRP, which is exemplarily described below.

In one example, the TRP may configure a PUSCH repetition type through RRC, and the PUSCH repetition type may include a PUSCH repetition type a (PUSCH repetition type a) and a PUSCH repetition type B (PUSCH repetition type B).

The PUSCH repetition type a may be a PUSCH repetition transmission method using Rel-15.

In the PUSCH repetition type a, the TRP may configure the number of PUSCH repetition transmissions by a higher layer parameter PUSCH-aggregation factor parameter. Since the Time Domain Resource Allocation (TDRA) table is introduced into Rel-16, in the PUSCH repetition type a, the TRP may also dynamically indicate the PUSCH repetition transmission times by using the table of the TDRA. If the TDRA table contains the PUSCH retransmission times, the terminal may preferably adopt the PUSCH retransmission times indicated in the TDRA, if the TDRA table does not contain the PUSCH retransmission times, the terminal may adopt the number of times of the high-level parameter PUSCH-aggregation factor configuration, and if neither of the above is configured, the terminal defaults that the PUSCH retransmission times is 1 time.

In PUSCH repetition type a, the TRP may indicate the time domain position of the first PUSCH repetition transmission by the TDRA table, and the time domain position of the subsequent transmission in each slot and the transmission of the first slot are identical.

The PUSCH repetition type B may be PUSCH repetition transmission performed in a Rel16 manner.

In PUSCH repetition type B, the TRP may indicate a nominal (nominal) number of PUSCH repetitions transmitted by the terminal through the TDRA table, which "nominal" may be the number of PUSCH repetitions transmitted by the TRP intended for the terminal, as opposed to an actual number of transmissions, which in one example may be greater than 1 if the nominal number of PUSCH repetitions indicated by the TRP is 1.

When the terminal needs to perform PUSCH retransmission, the actual PUSCH retransmission situation (number of times, etc.) may be determined according to the actual situation, and exemplary description is given below for the PUSCH retransmission.

Referring to fig. 4, fig. 4 shows a schematic diagram of PUSCH repeated transmission according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

In one possible embodiment, as shown in fig. 4, S denotes the position of the start (3 rd OFDM symbol), K denotes the repetition 2 times, L denotes the length of each nominal transmission (6 OFDM symbols), and RV denotes the redundancy version (redundancy version).

In one possible embodiment, as shown in fig. 4, the PUSCH repetition transmission indicated by the TRP is 2 nominal transmissions (nominal repetition 1, nominal repetition 2), and for the nominal repetition 2, when the terminal actually transmits, the terminal encounters a downlink symbol (DL), which divides the 1 nominal transmission into two actual transmissions, and when a slot boundary (slot boundary) is crossed, the terminal also divides the 1 nominal transmission into two actual transmissions, so that the nominal repetition 2 corresponds to 3 actual PUSCH repetition transmissions.

In one possible embodiment, as shown in fig. 4, the TRP may indicate a corresponding redundancy version in PUSCH retransmission, and assuming that RV information indicated by the TRP is (RV 0, RV2, RV3, RV 1), when an actual PUSCH retransmission is performed, the terminal associates each RV with each PUSCH retransmission, for example, a PUSCH retransmission in nominal repetition 1 is performed by RV0, a first actual PUSCH retransmission in nominal repetition 2 is performed by RV2, a second actual PUSCH retransmission in nominal repetition 2 is performed by RV3, and a third actual PUSCH retransmission in nominal repetition 2 is performed by RV 1. The RV may be configured to encode information to be transmitted when the PUSCH is repeatedly transmitted, where different RVs indicate different encoding modes.

When the terminal performs PUSCH repeated transmission, it needs to encode the transmitted information with an RV, which is exemplarily described below.

Referring to fig. 5, fig. 5 is a diagram illustrating determination of RV versions according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

As shown in fig. 5, for the PUSCH repetition type a, the TRP may indicate, through a codeword (n) in the DCI indicating transmission, an RV corresponding to PUSCH transmission, and when the terminal receives the DCI, the terminal may obtain the corresponding RV by using the codeword n in the RV domain, for example, assuming that n is 11, the terminal may determine that a first PUSCH repetition transmission corresponds to RV3, a second PUSCH repetition transmission corresponds to RV1, a third PUSCH repetition transmission corresponds to RV0, and a fourth PUSCH repetition transmission corresponds to RV2.

Of course, the TRP may also be configured by RRC with RV sequence (RV sequence), for example, for PUSCH retransmission without scheduling (configuration grant), the TRP may be configured by RRC with RV sequence as one of s1{ RV0, RV2, RV3, RV1}, s2{ RV0, RV3, RV0, RV3}, s3{ RV0, RV0 }.

For the PUSCH repetition type B, the TRP may indicate the RV of the first actual PUSCH repetition transmission through the DCI, whether the RV sequence is indicated through a higher layer parameter for scheduling-free transmission, and whether the first transmission occasion (occasion) is from the first RV0 through the higher layer parameter for RV sequence S2 and RV sequence S3 (S2 and S3 include multiple RV0, and the TRP may indicate whether to encode information from the first RV 0).

The following describes exemplary PUSCH frequency hopping (PUSCH frequency hopping).

For the PUSCH repetition type a, the TRP may configure the frequency hopping mode during PUSCH repetition transmission as intra-slot frequency hopping (intra-slot frequency hopping) or inter-slot frequency hopping (inter-slot frequency hopping).

In one example, when the TRP configuration hopping mode is inter-slot hopping and the terminal is performing PUSCH repeated transmission, the frequency may be hopped at different slots, for example, at slot0/2/4/6 \8230 \ 8230;, at slot1/3/5/7 \8230;, at slot 82302.

In one example, when a TRP configures a frequency hopping manner to frequency hopping within a slot, and a terminal performs PUSCH repeated transmission, the terminal may frequency hop within each slot, where a symbol corresponding to a first hop is

(the whole is taken down), the symbol corresponding to the second jump is @>

(taking the upper integer), wherein N is the number of symbols in the time domain of one transmission.

For the PUSCH repetition type B, the TRP may configure the frequency hopping mode when the PUSCH is repeatedly transmitted as inter-PUSCH frequency hopping (inter-PUSCH frequency hopping) or inter-slot frequency hopping (inter-slot frequency hopping).

In one example, when the TRP configuration frequency hopping mode is frequency hopping between slots, and the terminal performs PUSCH repeated transmission, frequency hopping may be performed on different slots, for example, at slot0/2/4/6 \8230, frequency domain position 1, at slot1/3/5/7 \8230, frequency domain position 2.

In one example, inter-PUSCH frequency hopping may include a first inter-PUSCH frequency hopping pattern and a second inter-PUSCH frequency hopping pattern.

Referring to fig. 6a and 6b, fig. 6a shows a schematic diagram of first inter-PUSCH frequency hopping according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, and fig. 6b shows a schematic diagram of second inter-PUSCH frequency hopping according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

Fig. 6a shows that the first inter-PUSCH frequency hopping pattern may be a frequency hopping pattern of nominal PUSCH repetition, where in the first inter-PUSCH frequency hopping pattern, a first hop PUSCH repetition transmission (nominal PUSCH repetition transmission rep.1) corresponding to the first 10 symbols is at a frequency domain position of a first hop, and a second hop PUSCH repetition transmission (nominal PUSCH repetition transmission rep.2) corresponding to the last 10 symbols is at a frequency domain position of a second hop. For example, the first-hop PUSCH repeated transmission may be divided into rep.1-1 and rep.1-2, and the second-hop PUSCH repeated transmission may be divided into rep.2-1 and rep.2-2, but frequency hopping is not performed in each-hop PUSCH repeated transmission (the frequency domain positions of rep.1-1 and rep.1-2 are the same, and the frequency domain positions of rep.2-1 and rep.2-2 are the same), and frequency hopping is performed only between nominal PUSCHs (frequency hopping is performed between the first-hop PUSCH repeated transmission and the second-hop PUSCH repeated transmission).

Fig. 6b shows that the second inter-PUSCH frequency hopping pattern may be an actual inter-PUSCH repetition (inter-actual PUSCH repetition), and in the second inter-PUSCH frequency hopping pattern, the first 10 symbols correspond to two actual PUSCH repeated transmissions (rep.1-1 and rep.1-2), and the second 10 symbols correspond to two actual PUSCH repeated transmissions (rep.2-1 and rep.2-2). In the second inter-PUSCH frequency hopping manner, the frequency domain positions corresponding to each actual PUSCH repeated transmission are different (the frequency domain positions corresponding to the actual PUSCH repeated transmissions of rep.1-1, rep.1-2, rep.2-1 and rep.2-2 are all different).

There are various ways for determining the PUSCH transmission mode according to the PUSCH frequency hopping information in the embodiments of the present disclosure, and an exemplary description is given below.

If the configured PUSCH repetition mode is the first repetition mode (PUSCH repetition type a), the embodiment of the present disclosure may determine the PUSCH transmission mode by the following method.

In a possible implementation manner, the step S11 of determining the PUSCH transmission mode according to the configured PUSCH frequency hopping information may include:

and under the condition that the frequency hopping mode indicated by the PUSCH frequency hopping information is intra-slot, associating each TCI to each PUSCH hop in the time slot according to the TCI sequence for repeated transmission.

In one example, the TRP may configure PUSCH hopping information with higher layer parameters.

The TCI sequence may be set as needed, and the embodiment of the disclosure is not limited. The TRP may configure the TCI sequence in advance through RRC, and the terminal may also determine the TCI sequence implicitly through other signaling, which is not limited in this disclosure.

Through the method, the embodiment of the disclosure can quickly determine the association relationship between the TCI and the PUSCH repeated transmission under the condition that the frequency hopping mode indicated by the PUSCH frequency hopping information is frequency hopping within the time slot, thereby accelerating the terminal response and improving the communication efficiency.

In one possible embodiment, the number of TCIs 2, the configured PUSCH repetition number is 1, and associating each TCI to each hop PUSCH repetition transmission in a slot in the order of TCIs includes:

associating the first TCI to a first hop PUSCH repeat transmission in the slot;

In one example, assuming that the TRP indicates frequency hopping for two PUSCH transmissions in one slot, each PUSCH transmission occupies 7 OFDM symbols, and assuming that the TRP is TCI1 (first TCI), TCI2 (second TCI) in the order of TCI configured by RRC, the terminal may associate TCI1 to the first-hop PUSCH repeated transmission and TCI2 to the second-hop PUSCH repeated transmission, in which case, the terminal may transmit the first-hop PUSCH according to TCI1, thereby transmitting the PUSCH to the first beam direction corresponding to TCI 1; and may transmit a second hop PUSCH according to TCI2, thereby transmitting the PUSCH to a second beam direction corresponding to TCI2.

It should be noted that, the specific content of the PUSCH repeated transmission is not limited in the embodiment of the present disclosure, and in the PUSCH repeated transmission, information carried by the PUSCH may be the same, for example, in the above example, the first-hop PUSCH and the second-hop PUSCH may transmit the same information to different beam directions.

when the frequency hopping scheme indicated by the PUSCH frequency hopping information is not frequency hopping (or is referred to as frequency hopping disable), or when the frequency hopping scheme indicated by the PUSCH frequency hopping information is Inter-slot (Inter-slot), PUSCH retransmission is not performed.

When the number of the TCIs indicated by the TRP includes 2 or more than 2, the TRP indicates that the terminal transmits PUSCH to two beam directions, if the determined actual PUSCH repetition number is 1, the terminal cannot transmit PUSCH to two beam directions, in this case, the terminal does not respond, that is, does not perform PUSCH repeated transmission, so that the terminal can rapidly determine a coping manner when the TRP error indication occurs.

If the configured PUSCH repetition mode is the second repetition mode (PUSCH repetition type B), the embodiment of the present disclosure may determine the PUSCH transmission mode by the following method.

In a possible embodiment, the step S11 determines the PUSCH transmission mode according to the configured PUSCH frequency hopping information, including:

determining the actual repeated transmission times of the PUSCH;

In an example, the terminal may determine the actual number of repeated PUSCH transmissions according to the number of repeated PUSCH transmissions configured by the TRP, an actual time-frequency resource, and a communication environment, and a specific implementation of how the terminal determines the actual number of repeated PUSCH transmissions is not limited in the embodiment of the present disclosure, and a person skilled in the art may determine the number according to needs or actual situations.

In one example, as shown in fig. 4, when the TRP indicates PUSCH repetition transmission as nominal repetition 2, but the terminal determines that a downlink symbol DL, or slot boundary, is encountered at PUSCH repetition transmission, or is an invalid symbol, the nominal PUSCH repetition transmission may be sliced into multiple actual PUSCH transmissions (fig. 4 shows that nominal repetition 2 is sliced into 3 actual PUSCH transmissions).

It should be noted that the embodiment of the present disclosure may be applied to a scenario where the configured PUSCH repetition number is 1, and for the PUSCH repetition type a, the actual PUSCH repetition number is 1; for PUSCH repetition type B, the actual number of repetitions may be greater than 1.

Through the method, the embodiment of the disclosure can determine the actual PUSCH transmission times and determine the PUSCH transmission mode according to the actual PUSCH transmission times and the PUSCH frequency hopping information, thereby quickly responding to the communication requirement and improving the communication efficiency.

In a possible embodiment, the determining the PUSCH transmission mode according to the actual PUSCH retransmission times and the PUSCH hopping information may include:

In one example, the TCI order may be configured in advance, e.g., the TRP may be configured in advance by higher layer parameters, e.g., assuming that the TCI includes a first TCI (TCI 1) and a second TCI (TCI 2), the TRP may be configured with the TCI order of TCI1, TCI2.

Assuming that the actual PUSCH repeated transmission is twice, according to "associating each TCI to each actual PUSCH repeated transmission in order of TCIs", the embodiments of the present disclosure may associate TCI1 to the first PUSCH repeated transmission and TCI2 to the second PUSCH repeated transmission.

In one example, the TCI order may be implicitly determined by the terminal according to other signaling, for example, the terminal may determine the TCI order according to frequency hopping information or RV information of the PUSCH.

Of course, in other embodiments, the TCI sequence may be determined in other manners, and the disclosure is not limited thereto.

Through the above method, the embodiment of the present disclosure may associate each TCI to each actual PUSCH retransmission in the order of TCIs when the PUSCH hopping information indicates that no hopping is performed, and when it is determined that the actual PUSCH retransmission times are multiple times, thereby quickly responding to the communication requirement.

In a possible embodiment, the determining the PUSCH transmission mode according to the actual number of repeated PUSCH transmissions and the PUSCH hopping information may include:

Under the condition that the actual repeated transmission times of the PUSCH are greater than 1, if the frequency hopping mode indicated by the PUSCH frequency hopping information is frequency hopping between slots and the actual repeated transmission of the PUSCH does not cross a slot boundary, the embodiment of the present disclosure provides two response modes, and a person skilled in the art may configure as needed, thereby increasing environmental adaptability and flexibility.

In this case, the terminal cannot respond to the transmission scheme of hopping between different slots, and the terminal does not perform PUSCH retransmission.

In one example, assuming that one PUSCH transmission indicated by a higher layer is due to crossing a slot boundary, i.e., including two actual PUSCH repeated transmissions, embodiments of the present disclosure may associate TCI1 to the first PUSCH repeated transmission (first hop) and TCI2 to the second PUSCH repeated transmission (second hop), where two TCIs correspond to PUSCHs in two slots, and the PUSCH frequency domain location of each slot is different.

Of course, in other embodiments, the TRP may also indicate more than two frequency hops, and the embodiments of the present disclosure are not limited thereto.

Through the method, the information can be reported to the TRP in a PUSCH repeated transmission mode, the communication requirement is quickly responded, and the communication efficiency is improved.

In one example, as shown in fig. 6a, with reference to the previous description of fig. 6a, frequency hopping is performed between the nominal PUSCHs (rep.1 and rep.2), indicating that the frequency domain locations of the TRP-defined two repeated transmissions of the nominal PUSCH are different.

Through the above method, in the embodiment of the present disclosure, when the actual PUSCH retransmission number is greater than 1, if the frequency hopping mode indicated by the PUSCH frequency hopping information is the first inter-PUSCH frequency hopping mode, the processing mode of the terminal may be configured flexibly, thereby increasing environmental adaptability and flexibility.

In one example, as shown in fig. 6b, referring to the previous introduction to fig. 6b, the actual PUSCH transmission may indicate that the nominal PUSCH repetition transmission for the TRP indication is split into two transmissions, e.g., rep.1 times split into rep.1-1 and rep.1-2, with the frequency domain locations of the two repeated transmissions being different (frequency hopping).

Assuming that the TCI order is TCI1, TCI2, then according to "repeatedly associate each TCI to each actual PUSCH repeated transmission in TCI order," in one example, TCI1 may be associated to rep.1-1, TCI2 may be associated to rep.1-2, in rep.2, TCI1 may be associated to rep.2-1, and TCI2 may be associated to rep.2-2, i.e., the disclosed embodiments may repeatedly transmit by associating each TCI to each actual PUSCH in turn in the order of repetition of TCI1, TCI2, TCI1, TCI2.

Through the method, the embodiment of the disclosure can not perform repeated transmission of the PUSCH under the condition that the actual repeated transmission frequency of the PUSCH is 1, thereby quickly responding to the condition that the actual repeated transmission frequency of the PUSCH is 1, avoiding blind actions of the terminal, wasting operation resources, and improving efficiency.

As can be seen from the above description, the embodiment of the present disclosure makes clear the processing behavior of the terminal when the number of times of repeated transmission of the PUSCH configured by the higher layer is 1, and configures multiple PUSCH transmission modes for multiple situations, thereby improving environmental adaptability and flexibility.

Referring to fig. 7, fig. 7 is a flowchart illustrating an information receiving method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

The method may be applied to transmit a reception point TRP, and the method includes:

step S21, receiving PUSCH repeated transmission according to a Physical Uplink Shared Channel (PUSCH) transmission mode, wherein the PUSCH transmission mode is determined according to configured PUSCH frequency hopping information when the number of times of the configured PUSCH repeated transmission is 1 and the number of Transmission Configuration Instructions (TCIs) indicated by downlink indication information (DCI) is greater than or equal to 2.

Through the above method, the embodiment of the present disclosure may receive the PUSCH repeated transmission according to the physical uplink shared channel PUSCH transmission manner, so as to quickly receive the PUSCH repeated transmission when the number of times of repeated transmission of the configured PUSCH by the terminal is 1 and the number of transmission configuration indications TCI indicated by the downlink indication information DCI is greater than or equal to 2, thereby improving communication efficiency.

and if the configured PUSCH repetition mode is the first repetition mode and the frequency hopping mode indicated by the PUSCH frequency hopping information is frequency hopping in the time slot, receiving each hop of PUSCH repeated transmission in the time slot according to the TCI sequence. In one possible implementation, the number of TCIs is 2, and the receiving of the PUSCH repeated transmission for each hop in a slot in the order of TCIs includes:

receiving a first-hop PUSCH repeated transmission in a time slot by utilizing a first TCI;

In one example, in multiple TRPs, each TRP may correspond to a different TCI, e.g., assuming the multiple TRP includes two TRPs, where a first TRP may be repeatedly transmitted using a first hop PUSCH in a first TCI receiving slot and a second TRP may be repeatedly transmitted using a second hop PUSCH in a second TCI receiving slot.

and under the condition that the actual PUSCH repeated transmission times are more than 1, if the frequency hopping mode indicated by the PUSCH frequency hopping information is a first inter-PUSCH frequency hopping mode, not receiving the PUSCH repeated transmission, or receiving each actual PUSCH repeated transmission according to a TCI sequence, wherein the first inter-PUSCH frequency hopping mode is frequency hopping among nominal PUSCHs.

It should be noted that, the information receiving method corresponds to the information sending method, the TRP receives PUSCH repeated transmission sent by the terminal, and please refer to the previous description of the information sending method for specific description of the PUSCH repeated mode and TCI mapping and association relationship of the TRP receiving PUSCH, which is not described herein again.

associating a first TCI to a first-hop PUSCH repeat transmission in a slot;

and under the condition that the actual PUSCH repeated transmission times are more than 1, if the frequency hopping mode indicated by the PUSCH frequency hopping information is frequency hopping among time slots and the actual PUSCH repeated transmission crosses time slot boundaries, associating each TCI to all PUSCH repeated transmission in each time slot according to the TCI sequence, wherein the frequency domain positions of the PUSCH repeated transmission of two adjacent time slots are different.
