Detailed Description

In order to make the technical problems, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more apparent, the following detailed description is given with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

Referring to fig. 1, fig. 1 is a schematic diagram of a network structure to which the embodiment of the present invention is applicable, and as shown in fig. 1, the network structure includes a terminal 11 and a network side device 12, where the terminal 11 may be a User Equipment (UE) or other terminal devices, for example: a terminal side Device such as a Mobile phone, a Tablet Personal Computer (Tablet Personal Computer), a Laptop Computer (Laptop Computer), a Personal Digital Assistant (PDA), a Mobile Internet Device (MID), or a Wearable Device (Wearable Device), it should be noted that a specific type of the terminal is not limited in the embodiment of the present invention. The network side device 12 may be a base station, for example: macro station, LTE eNB, 5G NRNB, etc.; the network side device may also be a small station, such as a Low Power Node (LPN), pico, femto, or an Access Point (AP); the base station may also be a network node that is composed of a Central Unit (CU) and a plurality of Transmission Reception Points (TRPs) whose management is and controls. It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present invention, the specific type of the network-side device is not limited.

Referring to fig. 2, fig. 2 is a flowchart of a configuration authorization confirmation method according to an embodiment of the present invention, as shown in fig. 2, including the following steps:

201. a terminal receives a first signaling sent by a network side device, wherein the first signaling is used for activating or deactivating at least one set of configuration authorization;

202. the terminal sends configuration authorization confirmation information (Configured grant configuration) to the network side device, wherein the configuration authorization confirmation information is used for indicating activated or deactivated configuration authorization.

The first signaling may be an activation signaling or a deactivation signaling. The at least one set of configuration authorization may be configured by the network side device for the terminal before performing step 201, which is not limited to this, for example: the at least one set of configuration grants may also be configured by the first signaling.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the configuration authorization may be a set of authorized transmission configurations configured for the configuration terminal by the network side device, for example: including at least one of Modulation and Coding Scheme (MCS), configuration information of logical channels, transmission period and resource location, etc.

In addition, the activating or deactivating at least one set of configuration authorization may be activating multiple sets of configuration authorization at the same time, or deactivating multiple sets of configuration authorization at the same time, or activating or deactivating one set of configuration authorization.

The configuration authorization that the configuration authorization confirmation information is used to indicate activation or deactivation may be that the content included in the configuration authorization confirmation information is used to indicate activation or deactivation of configuration authorization, or the configuration authorization confirmation information implicitly indicates activation or deactivation of configuration authorization.

In addition, the activated or deactivated configuration grant may be a part or all of the at least one set of configuration grants activated or deactivated by the first signaling, and of course, in some scenarios, the activated or deactivated configuration grant may not be the at least one set of configuration grants activated or deactivated by the first signaling. For example: receiving another first signaling (or may be referred to as a second signaling) before or after receiving the first signaling, where the first signaling is also used to activate or deactivate at least one set of configuration authorization, and then the activated or deactivated configuration authorization may be a configuration authorization corresponding to the first signaling, may also be a configuration authorization corresponding to another first signaling, or may be configuration authorizations corresponding to the two first signaling. For example: the network side equipment configures 3 configuration authorizations, configuration authorization 0, configuration authorization 1 and configuration authorization 2 for the terminal. The current network side equipment activates configuration authorization 1 and configuration authorization 2 simultaneously or successively. However, due to the channel quality or other reasons, the terminal has only successfully configured the configuration grant 1, so that the activated configuration grant is indicated as the configuration grant 1 by the configuration grant confirmation information.

It should be noted that, in step 201, the activated or deactivated configuration authorization may be understood as that the terminal activates a successful configuration authorization or deactivates a successful configuration authorization.

In the above step, since the terminal sends the configuration authorization confirmation information for indicating the activated or deactivated configuration authorization to the network side device, the network side device may confirm the successful activation or deactivation configuration authorization through the configuration authorization confirmation information, so as to avoid transmission errors, for example: data transmission errors are avoided, and the transmission performance of the communication system is improved.

As an optional implementation manner, the at least one set of configuration authorization is one or more of multiple sets of configuration authorizations that the network side device configures for the terminal.

The multiple sets of configuration authorizations may be configured for the terminal by the network side device before executing step 201, for example: before step 201 is executed, the terminal receives configuration information of the configuration authorization sent by the network side device, and may include index number information of the configuration authorization.

In this embodiment, the network side device can configure multiple sets of configuration authorizations for the terminal, thereby meeting the requirements of multiple services of the terminal and improving the service performance of the terminal. For example: the network side equipment can configure a plurality of sets of configuration authorization with different transmission periods for the terminal so as to meet the service requirements with different time delay requirements.

The multiple sets of configurations are authorized for the same BWP; or

This may enable configuring multiple sets of configuration grants for the same serving cell, or configuring multiple sets of configuration grants for the same BWP (e.g., the same BWP), or configuring multiple sets of configuration grants for the same BWP of the same serving cell, thereby improving service performance of the terminal on the serving cell or the same BWP.

Optionally, in the foregoing embodiment, a signaling format of the configuration authorization confirmation information is a signaling format used in a case of configuring multiple sets of configuration authorization.

In this embodiment, when the network side device configures multiple sets of configuration authorization for the terminal, the configuration authorization confirmation information may be sent in a special signaling format, and only one set of configuration authorization may be configured to send the configuration authorization confirmation message in another signaling format, so that a proper configuration authorization may be selected according to the number of configuration authorizations, so that the configuration authorization confirmation information may flexibly indicate the activated or deactivated configuration authorization.

As an optional implementation manner, the configuration authorization confirmation information includes indication information for indicating activated or deactivated configuration authorization.

And the indication information is added in the configuration authorization confirmation information and is used for indicating the activated or deactivated configuration authorization.

The activated or deactivated configuration authorization is indicated through the indication information, so that the indication is directly performed, and the complexity of confirming the activated or deactivated configuration authorization by the network side equipment can be reduced.

Optionally, the indication information includes at least one of:

Wherein, the index number information may include: index number or index number bitmap (bitmap).

The index number may be information for indexing the configuration authorization or information for identifying the configuration authorization, such as: an authorized identification number (ID number) is configured, or an index number of an index table, etc. The network side device can explicitly activate or deactivate the configuration authorization through the index number.

The index bitmap may be a group of N bits, each bit corresponds to one configuration grant, N is an integer greater than or equal to 1, and specifically corresponds to the number of configuration grants configured by the network side device for the terminal. The value of a bit in the bitmap can thus indicate an activated or deactivated configuration authorization, for example: and the configuration authorization corresponding to the bit value of 1 in the bitmap represents activation or deactivation. The indication through the bitmap can make the configuration of the authorization confirmation information simpler, so as to save the overhead of the configuration of the authorization confirmation information.

The configuration information content of the configuration authorization may be, for example, the configuration information content of the activated or deactivated configuration authorization: if the activated configuration authorization is configuration authorization 1, the configuration authorization confirmation information may include the content in the configuration information of configuration authorization 1 to indicate that configuration authorization 1 is activated. Specifically, after receiving the configuration authorization confirmation information, the network side device determines the content in the configuration information including the configuration authorization 1, thereby confirming that the configuration authorization 1 is activated.

It should be noted that the configuration information content is part or all of configuration information of configuration authorization. Preferably, the configuration information content includes at least one of:

PUSCH length information, SCS information, and cell identification information.

At least one item of PUSCH length information, SCS information and cell identification information is included, so that the overhead of configuration authorization confirmation information can be saved, and the activated or deactivated configuration authorization can be more accurately indicated.

For example: when the length of the PUSCH in the configuration information of the logical channel corresponding to the data multiplexed to the configuration grant is different among the multiple configuration grants, the length information of the PUSCH may be multiplexed into the configuration grant confirmation information; when the length of SCS in the configuration information of the logical channel corresponding to the data multiplexed to the configuration grant is different among the plurality of configuration grants, multiplexing the SCS information into configuration grant confirmation information; when the cells in the configuration information of the logical channel corresponding to the data multiplexed to the configuration grant are different in the multiple configuration grants, the cell identification information may be multiplexed into the configuration grant confirmation information. Further, different configuration information contents may be included for the case of activation and deactivation, for example: the configuration authorization confirmation message may comprise configuration information content 1 when indicating an activated configuration authorization and configuration information content 2 when indicating a deactivated configuration authorization, such that indicating a configuration authorization by means of the configuration information content, as well as activation or deactivation, may be achieved.

As an optional implementation manner, the configuration authorization confirmation information is sent through a resource of an uplink UL grant, where the UL grant is a UL grant associated with a first signaling corresponding to a configuration grant indicated by the configuration authorization confirmation information configured by the network side device.

In this embodiment, the network side device configures a corresponding UL grant for each first signaling, for example: under the condition that the network side device sends multiple first signaling, one UL grant may be configured for each first signaling, and taking 2 as an example, as shown in fig. 3, the network side device sends a first signaling 1 and a first signaling 2, and corresponding UL grants (UL grant)1 and UL grants 2 to the terminal, respectively; if the activated or deactivated configuration grant includes a configuration grant corresponding to the first signaling 1, transmitting configuration grant confirmation information MAC CE1 on a resource of UL grant 1; if the activated or deactivated configuration authorization includes the configuration authorization corresponding to the first signaling 2, the configuration authorization acknowledgement information MAC CE2 may be sent on the resource of UL authorization 2, so that the network side device may determine the first signaling corresponding to the configuration authorization acknowledgement information according to the resource of the configuration authorization acknowledgement information, and further confirm the activated or deactivated configuration authorization.

In this embodiment, resource transmission of the UL grant corresponding to the first signaling corresponding to the configuration grant indicated by the configuration grant confirmation information can be implemented, so that the activated or deactivated configuration grant is implicitly indicated by the UL grant, and thus overhead of the configuration grant confirmation information can be reduced.

As an optional implementation manner, the transmission time of the configuration authorization confirmation information and the transmission time interval k time domain resources of the first signaling corresponding to the configuration authorization indicated by the configuration authorization confirmation information are separated, where k is a preset positive integer.

In this embodiment, k time domain resources may be configured for the transmission time interval of the first signaling corresponding to the configuration authorization indicated by the transmission time of the authorization confirmation information, so that the network side device may determine the first signaling corresponding to the authorization confirmation information, and further confirm the activated or deactivated configuration authorization.

For example: as shown in fig. 4, the network side device sends the first signaling 1 and the first signaling 2 at times t0 and t1, respectively, and may send configuration authorization confirmation information at t2 if the activated or deactivated configuration authorization includes the configuration authorization corresponding to the first signaling 1, and may send configuration authorization confirmation information at t3 if the activated or deactivated configuration authorization includes the configuration authorization corresponding to the second signaling 1.

In addition, the time domain resource may be a slot (slot), or a symbol or the like.

In this embodiment, the configuration authorization whose transmission time implicitly indicates activation or deactivation can be implemented, so that the overhead of configuration authorization confirmation information can be reduced.

As an optional implementation manner, the transmission resource parameter of the configuration authorization confirmation information corresponds to the activated or deactivated configuration authorization.

The correspondence between the transmission resource parameter and the configuration authorization may be a correspondence between the transmission resource parameter and the configuration authorization, or may be a correspondence between the transmission resource parameter and the first signaling corresponding to the configuration authorization. These corresponding relations may be pre-agreed between the terminal and the network side, or pre-defined in the protocol, etc.

In this embodiment, the activated or deactivated configuration authorization implicitly indicated by the transmission resource parameter may be implemented, so as to save the overhead of configuring the authorization confirmation information.

Optionally, the transmission resource parameter includes at least one of:

PUSCH length, SCS length.

Of course, this is not limited, for example: other transmission resource parameters are also possible.

As an optional implementation manner, the configuration authorization confirmation information includes:

The Logical Channel index number may be a Logical Channel (LCH) number, for example: LCHID. In addition, the logical channel index number may be a logical channel index number of the configuration authorization confirmation information, for example: and when the configuration authorization confirmation information is the MAC CE, the configuration authorization confirmation information is the logical channel index number of the MAC CE.

In addition, the logical channel index number may be a redefined logical channel index number, that is, a logical channel index number different from the logical channel index number used before the present invention is newly defined in the present invention.

In this embodiment, the configuration authorization confirmation information may be distinguished as confirmation information of configuration authorization for indicating activation or deactivation when multiple sets of configuration authorization are configured by using the index number of the logical channel. Thus, after receiving the configuration authorization confirmation information, the network side device identifies the logical channel index number, so that the configuration authorization confirmation information can be decoded in a corresponding decoding mode, and the decoding is successful quickly and accurately.

As an optional implementation manner, the configuration authorization confirmation information is:

physical layer signaling, HARQ feedback, or MAC CE.

In the embodiment, the configuration authorization confirmation information can be flexibly sent through different signaling, and in addition, through HARQ feedback sending, because extra signaling is not required to be added, the transmission overhead can be reduced.

In an optional implementation manner, the type of the configuration authorization in the at least one set of configuration authorizations includes at least one of:

a grant type 2(Configured grant type2), DL SPS is Configured.

The configuration grant type2 may be a configuration grant type2 introduced in UL by a New Radio (NR) protocol. In the process of configuring the grant type2, configuration may be performed through Radio Resource Control (RRC) signaling, and the RRC signaling specifies a period of configuring the grant type 2. The configuration authorization type2 may be configured with information such as a corresponding MCS, a resource location, and the like in a Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH), and activate the configuration authorization type2, and the terminal may repeatedly use the configuration authorization type in a subsequent scheduling period by storing the corresponding information. In addition, in the time slot or symbol configured with grant type2 transmission, the network side device may also reallocate corresponding resources for transmission through the PDCCH. The configuration grant type2 may be deactivated by an indication of the PDCCH finally.

As shown in fig. 5, the process of sending the configuration authorization type2 Data may be that the network side device configures the configuration authorization of the configuration authorization type2 through RRC and activates through Downlink Control Information (DCI), and the terminal sends MAC Packet Data Units (PDUs) of the configuration authorization at t2 and t3, respectively.

In this embodiment, since the type of the configuration grant in the configuration grant includes at least one of the configuration grant type2 and the DL SPS, overhead of the control channel may be reduced.

It should be noted that various optional implementations described in the embodiments of the present invention may be implemented in combination with each other, or may be implemented separately.

In the embodiment of the invention, a terminal receives a first signaling sent by network side equipment, wherein the first signaling is used for activating or deactivating at least one set of configuration authorization; and the terminal sends configuration authorization confirmation information to the network side equipment, wherein the configuration authorization confirmation information is used for indicating the activated or deactivated configuration authorization. Therefore, the configuration authorization confirmation information can enable the network side equipment to clearly activate or deactivate the configuration authorization, thereby avoiding transmission errors caused by the condition that the network side equipment does not know the configuration authorization activated or deactivated by the terminal, and improving the data transmission performance of the communication system.

The following describes a configuration authorization confirmation method provided by the embodiment of the present invention in a plurality of embodiments:

example one

The embodiment notifies the activated or deactivated configuration authorization through the configuration authorization index, and may include the following steps.

The method comprises the following steps: the network side equipment sends configuration information of configuration authorization to the terminal, wherein the configuration information comprises index number information of the configuration authorization; optionally, the network side device may configure multiple sets of configuration authorizations; optionally, the multiple sets of configuration grants may be on the same serving cell and/or the same BWP; optionally, one or more of the multiple sets of configuration authorizations may be active at the same time; optionally, the configuration grant is a configuration grant type2, or DL SPS.

Step two: the network side device activates the configuration authorization, and optionally, the network side device may simultaneously activate one or more configuration authorizations. Optionally, the activated signaling may be activated by a MAC CE or may be in a DCI manner. If the mac ce mode is adopted, the specific format of the activation signaling may be as shown in fig. 6:

where R denotes a reserved bit, LCH ID denotes a Logical Channel (Logical Channel) identity, for example: the above-described logical channel index number, CG, represents a Configured Grant (Configured Grant), and Oct may represent 8 bits (bit).

Step three: the terminal replies to a configuration granted Grant Confirmation (Configured Grant configuration) MAC CE.

In one approach, the MAC CE may include: an authorized index number is configured. The format of the MAC CE packet may be as shown in fig. 7:

wherein E represents whether there is an extension behind a subsequent configuration Grant Confirmation (Configured Grant Confirmation) MAC CE header, and when E is 1, represents that there is an index number of the configuration Grant behind the configuration Grant Confirmation (Configured Grant Confirmation) MAC CE header; when E is 0, it means that there is no subsequent configuration grant index number after configuration grant confirmation (Configured grant configuration) MAC CE header. Similarly, E1 indicates whether there is an extension after CG ID 1. And will not be described in detail herein. CG ID x represents the index number of the configuration authority. When a certain index number is included, the terminal successfully activates or deactivates the configuration authorization corresponding to the index number. The LCH ID represents a logical channel index number of a current configuration authorization acknowledgement (Configured Grant configuration) MAC CE, and optionally, the logical channel index number may be redefined, and is used to distinguish that the configuration authorization acknowledgement information is acknowledgement information indicating activated or deactivated configuration authorization when the network side device configures multiple sets of configuration authorization for the terminal.

Optionally, in another manner, the format may be a bitmap (bitmap), which may be as shown in fig. 8:

and when the CGn is 1, indicating that the configuration authorization corresponding to n is successfully activated or deactivated by the terminal.

The LCH ID represents the logical channel index number of the current configuration Grant Confirmation (Configured Grant configuration) MAC CE.

Wherein the second mode is simpler than the first mode.

Step four: when the network side device receives the MAC CE, it obtains an indication of which configuration authorization is successfully activated according to the indication information in step three.

Example two

In this embodiment, the terminal feeding back a configuration authorized confirmation (Configured granted confirmation) MAC CE according to the time when the DCI is received may include the following steps:

the method comprises the following steps: the network side equipment configures authorized configuration information to the terminal, wherein the authorized configuration information comprises authorized index number configuration information; optionally, the network side device may configure multiple sets of configuration authorizations; optionally, the multiple sets of configuration grants may be on the same serving cell and/or the same BWP; optionally, one or more of the multiple sets of configuration authorizations may be active at the same time; optionally, the configuration grant is a configuration grant type2, or DL SPS, which may be the same as in the first embodiment.

Step two: the network side device activates the configuration authorization, and optionally, the network side device may simultaneously activate one or more configuration authorizations. Optionally, the activation method may be a MAC CE method, or may be a DCI method, which may be the same as in the first embodiment. Optionally, when the network side device sends the activation command, the network side device may send an UL Grant, so as to allow the terminal device to send a configuration Grant Confirmation (Configured Grant configuration) MAC CE on the UL Grant.

Step three: the terminal device replies to a configuration granted Grant Confirmation (Configured Grant configuration) MAC CE.

The method specifically comprises the following modes:

the first method is as follows: if the UE receives an UL Grant after receiving the activation signaling, the UE will send a configuration Grant Confirmation (Configured Grant configuration) MAC CE on the UL Grant, for example: as shown in fig. 3.

The second method comprises the following steps: the synchronous feedback method, for example: configuration authorization acknowledgement (CG configuration) MAC CE may be fed back k slots after the activation command is received, for example: as shown in fig. 4.

Step four: the base station acquires which configuration authorization is successfully activated or deactivated according to the CG configuration MAC CE received at different times.

EXAMPLE III

This embodiment may configure grant confirmation (CG configuration) signaling using physical layer signaling feedback, and may include the steps of:

Step two: the network side device activates the configuration authorization, and optionally, the network side device may simultaneously activate one or more configuration authorizations. Optionally, the activation method may be a MAC CE method, or may be a DCI method, which may be the same as in the first embodiment. Optionally, when the network side device sends the activation command, the network side device may send an UL Grant, so as to allow the terminal device to send a configuration Grant Confirmation) MAC CE on the UL Grant.

Step three: the terminal replies with configuration granted Grant Confirmation (Configured Grant configuration) signaling.

Optionally, the terminal uses physical layer signaling feedback configuration authorization acknowledgement (CG configuration) signaling.

Optionally, information such as index number of configuration grant acknowledgement (CG) may be added to HARQ feedback.

Step four: the base station acquires which configuration authorization is successfully activated or deactivated according to the fact that a configuration authorization acknowledgement (CG configuration) MAC CE is received at different moments or the MAC CE comprises the MAC CE.

Example four

This embodiment carries the parameters of RRC configuration or DCI configuration parameters to feed back configuration authorization acknowledgement (cgconfiguration) signaling, which may include the following steps:

the method comprises the following steps: the network side equipment configures authorized configuration information to the terminal, wherein the authorized configuration information comprises authorized index number configuration information; optionally, the network side device may configure multiple sets of configuration authorizations; optionally, the configuration information includes MCS table information, where the information is used to indicate that the resource usage MCS table used by the terminal device is based on 64QAM Quadrature Amplitude Modulation (QAM) or 256 QAM; optionally, the configuration information may further include configuration information of a logical channel corresponding to data multiplexed to the configuration grant, where the configuration information may include parameters such as PUSCH length, and/or SCS list, and/or cell list, and/or repeated transmission.

The multiple sets of configuration authorizations can be on the same serving cell and/or the same BWP; optionally, one or more of the multiple sets of configuration authorizations may be active at the same time; optionally, the configuration authorization is a configuration authorization type 2.

Step three: the terminal sends configuration granted Grant Confirmation (Configured Grant configuration) signaling.
