Description
Technical Field
The present application relates to the field of communications technologies, and in particular, to a communication method and apparatus.
Background
Power consumption of terminal devices in communication systems is an important aspect of the user experience, and a Release16 version of the third generation partnership project (3 GPP) proposes to optimize the power consumption of terminal devices in New Radio (NR) systems. One of the contents for optimizing the power consumption of the terminal device is to enhance the mechanism for scheduling data by the base station, and the following describes the process for scheduling data by the base station according to the existing protocol.
In the protocol of 3GPP Release15, a base station configures or predefines a time domain resource allocation list (or referred to as a time domain resource allocation set) of a Physical Downlink Shared Channel (PDSCH) or a time domain resource allocation list (or referred to as a time domain resource allocation set) of a Physical Uplink Shared Channel (PUSCH) to a terminal device through Radio Resource Control (RRC) signaling, where the time domain resource allocation list includes a time slot offset between a Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH) and a scheduled PDSCH or between the PDCCH and the scheduled PUSCH, and a starting symbol and length of the PDSCH or within a PUSCH time slot. The value of the slot offset in the time domain resource allocation list may be greater than or equal to 0, and the number of the values may be configured to be multiple, for example, the slot offset may be configured to {0,1,2,3,4,5,6}, when the base station actually schedules to the terminal device, one of the slot offsets is indicated through the PDCCH to indicate the time domain position of the currently scheduled PDSCH or PUSCH, and if the slot offset indicated by the PDCCH is 0, it indicates that the scheduled PDSCH or PUSCH and the PDCCH are in the same slot. Because the base station can schedule any value in the time domain resource allocation list, the terminal device can determine the currently scheduled slot offset only after finishing PDCCH detection, and therefore the terminal device always assumes that the slot offset indicated by the PDCCH may be the minimum value in the time domain resource allocation list when starting to detect the PDCCH. If the value in the time domain resource allocation list contains 0, that is, the PDSCH or PUSCH and PDCCH that the base station is likely to schedule are in the same time slot, even the starting symbols of the PDSCH and PDCCH are the same. For downlink scheduling, the terminal device needs to buffer data on the whole bandwidth while detecting the PDCCH each time, and because the time-frequency domain resource position of the PDSCH is not known or even whether the PDSCH is scheduled or not is not known before the PDCCH detection is completed, power consumption waste of the terminal device is brought; for uplink, similar reasoning is adopted, the terminal device does not know the position of the PUSCH scheduled by the PDCCH, even does not know whether the PUSCH is scheduled or not, and may be in the same time slot as the PDCCH and the PUSCH, so that the terminal device is required to complete PDCCH detection as soon as possible, otherwise the terminal device is not in time to transmit PUSCH data, and power consumption waste is also caused.
Based on this, it may be set that the timeslot offset K of uplink or downlink scheduling does not include 0 (i.e., the terminal device already knows to be cross-timeslot scheduling before PDCCH detection), i.e., K > x, x is greater than or equal to 0, then the terminal device may save power consumption in the following aspects:
unnecessary buffering is reduced, and the buffering mainly refers to PDSCH buffering;
the PDCCH processing time is relaxed, and both uplink and downlink scheduling can be improved. In terms of implementation of the terminal device, if the PDCCH processing time is very tight, the terminal device has high requirements on the clock frequency and the voltage, which results in relatively high power consumption, and if the PDCCH processing time is sufficient, the terminal has low requirements on the clock frequency and the voltage, which results in relatively low power consumption.
Although K > x can save power consumption of the terminal device, K > x has a disadvantage of increasing a delay time compared with a time domain resource allocation list including 0, that is, K > -0 (i.e., simultaneous slot scheduling), that is, there is a certain gap (gap) between the PDSCH or PUSCH and the PDCCH when the base station schedules, and thus, a transmission delay time is increased. Therefore, considering two factors of time delay and power consumption, the time domain resource allocation set for scheduling needs to be dynamically switched. However, the prior art does not provide a scheme for reliably and dynamically switching the time domain resource allocation set.

Fig. 2 is a schematic flowchart of a communication method according to an embodiment of the present application, including the following steps:
s101, the network equipment sends first information to the terminal equipment at the first time.
Accordingly, the terminal device receives the first information.
Wherein the first information is carried in the first PDCCH. For example, the first information is Downlink Control Information (DCI). Wherein the first PDCCH schedules the first PDSCH according to the first set of time domain resource allocations at a first time.
As shown in fig. 3, the DCI1 is the first information at a first time. The DCI1 is carried on the first PDCCH. At the first time, the first PDCCH is scheduled by using the time domain resource allocation set 1, that is, the time domain resource allocation set valid at the first time is the time domain resource allocation set 1, the DCI1 carries scheduling information of the PDSCH1, which includes a time slot offset of the PDSCH1, and the time slot offset of the PDSCH1 is one value in the time domain resource allocation set 1. For example, the time slot offset values of the time domain resource allocation set 1 are all greater than 0, that is, the first PDCCH performs cross-slot scheduling.
In this embodiment, the first information is used to determine a second set of time domain resource allocations for scheduling the second PDSCH after the first time. That is, the first information is used to indicate that a value range of a slot offset of the second PDCCH for scheduling the second PDSCH changes after the first time, for example, the slot offset includes 0 after the first time. As shown in fig. 3, DCI1 schedules PDSCH1 while indicating that PDCCH-scheduled PDSCH may be scheduled for a first time later in a simultaneous slot scheduling. I.e. the first set of time domain resource allocations comprises a value for which the slot offset value is greater than or equal to 0. In this embodiment, the first information is used to determine that a value range of time slot offset of the PDSCH changes when the second PDCCH schedules the PDSCH after the first time, and a specific indication manner is not limited, where the first information may be a display indication or an implicit indication; the minimum value of the slot offset may be indicated, and an index value corresponding to the minimum value of the slot offset may also be indicated. The time domain resource allocation set in the present invention can also be embodied as the minimum value of the slot offset.
S102, the first PDCCH carrying the first information further comprises scheduling information of the first PDSCH, and the network equipment sends data to the terminal equipment through the first PDSCH.
Accordingly, the terminal device receives the data.
In this embodiment, the first PDCCH carrying the first information further includes scheduling information of the first PDSCH, and therefore, according to the scheduling information, the network device transmits data to the terminal device through the first PDSCH.
As shown in fig. 3, at the first time, the first PDCCH carrying DCI1 is also used to schedule PDSCH1, and the network device transmits data to the terminal device through PDSCH 1. Furthermore, DCI2 still schedules PDSCH2 according to time domain resource allocation set 1, then the network device transmits data to the terminal device on PDSCH 2.
S103, the terminal equipment sends feedback information of the data to the network equipment.
Accordingly, the network device receives feedback information for the data.
After receiving data sent by the first PDSCH, the terminal device needs to send feedback information to the network device, where the feedback information includes an Acknowledgement (ACK) and a non-acknowledgement (NACK), and indicates whether the terminal device correctly receives the data sent by the PDSCH.
As shown in fig. 3, for data transmitted by the network device on PDSCH1, the terminal device transmits a NACK1 to the network device; for data sent by the network device on PDSCH2, the terminal device sends an ACK2 to the network device.
And S104, scheduling the second PDSCH according to the second time domain resource allocation set at a second time after the feedback information of the data of the first PDSCH is sent, wherein the second time is after the first time.
In this embodiment, no matter whether the feedback message corresponding to the first PDSCH is ACK or NACK, after the network device receives the feedback information corresponding to the first PDSCH sent by the terminal device, that is, at a second time after the terminal device finishes sending the feedback information of the data of the first PDSCH, the second PDCCH schedules the second PDSCH according to the second time domain resource allocation set. It should be noted that the second PDSCH may be one or more, and the second PDSCH refers to all PDSCHs scheduled in the second time. Since the network device receives the feedback information sent by the terminal device, the network device may determine that the terminal device has received the first information, that is, the terminal device does not miss the PDCCH carrying the first information, and the first information is used to determine a second time domain resource allocation set for scheduling the second PDSCH by the second PDCCH after the first time, and then the terminal device and the network device may simultaneously take effect on the time domain resource allocation set of the PDSCH as the second time domain resource allocation set after the feedback information of the data of the first PDSCH.
As shown in fig. 3, after the terminal device finishes transmitting NACK1, the second PDCCH may use time domain resource allocation set 2 for scheduling, that is, after finishing transmitting NACK1, the effective time domain resource allocation set is time domain resource allocation set 2, that is, the second PDCCH includes simultaneous slot scheduling when scheduling PDSCH. For example, DCI3 and PDSCH3 are scheduled for simultaneous slots.
In addition, the first PDCCH carrying the first information may not include the scheduling information of the first PDSCH, and in another embodiment, S102 and S103 may be replaced with: and the terminal equipment sends the feedback information of the first PDCCH to the network equipment. Indicating that the terminal device received the first information.
S104 may be replaced with: and scheduling the second PDSCH according to the second time domain resource allocation set at a third time after the feedback information of the first PDCCH is sent.
In this alternative embodiment, if the first PDCCH carrying the first information does not include the scheduling information of the first PDSCH, the terminal device may send the feedback information of the first PDCCH to the network device in order to prevent the first information from being missed, and schedule the second PDSCH according to the second time domain resource allocation set at a third time after the feedback information of the first PDCCH is sent. The implementation process can refer to the above embodiment.
Furthermore, after the network device indicates the handover time domain resource allocation set through the DCI, before the first information is validated, that is, before the terminal device finishes sending the feedback message, the network device still performs scheduling using the current time domain resource allocation set, for example, cross-slot scheduling as indicated by set 1 in fig. 3, but in this time period (after the handover signaling is indicated and before the signaling is validated), the PDCCH-scheduled PDSCH cannot be after the time when the first information is validated, that is, the PDCCH-scheduled PDSCH cannot be after the feedback message of the first PDSCH or the feedback message of the first PDCCH. For example, as shown in fig. 4, the scheduling of DCI2 still conforms to set 1, but the scheduled PDSCH2 is after the effective time, which is not desirable. But rather the scheduling of DCI2 should still conform to set 1 as in fig. 3 and the scheduled PDSCH2 is before the time of validation, so that the network device and the terminal device can really achieve simultaneous slot scheduling immediately after signaling validation.
The reason for the above constraint is because the current protocol does not support scheduling reordering, i.e. for two HARQ processes, if the end symbol position of DCI3 is not earlier than the end symbol position of DCI2, while the start symbol position of PDSCH3 is earlier than the end symbol position of PDSCH2, such scheduling is not supported. Therefore, if the case in which DCI2 schedules PDSCH2 in fig. 5 occurs after the time when the first information indicates that PDSCH is scheduled by PDCCH for the period of time after the first information is validated, but PDSCH3 cannot be scheduled by DCI3 in the same time slot even if the handover signaling is validated, when the PDSCH cannot be scheduled by PDCCH for the period of time until the first information is validated.
It should be noted that, in this embodiment, if the terminal device is in cross-timeslot scheduling, the timeslot offset values in the time domain resource allocation set are all greater than 0, once the terminal device sends a Scheduling Request (SR) to the network device, the terminal device falls back to the default configuration of the time domain resource allocation set of the PDSCH, i.e., the timeslot offset value may include 0, and may be scheduled in the same timeslot. After the network device receives the SR sent by the terminal device, the network device also falls back to the default time domain resource allocation set, i.e., the timeslot offset includes 0, and can perform the timeslot scheduling.
According to the communication method provided by the embodiment of the application, when data scheduling is carried out, the time domain resource allocation sets adopted in different time periods can be definitely indicated according to actual needs, so that the power consumption and the transmission delay of the terminal equipment are considered, meanwhile, the problem that the behaviors of the network equipment and the terminal equipment are inconsistent due to the fact that the terminal equipment is missed is avoided, and the reliability of dynamically switching the time domain resource allocation sets is ensured.
Fig. 6 is a flowchart of another communication method provided in the embodiment of the present application, including the following steps:
s201, the network equipment sends first information to the terminal equipment at the first time.
Accordingly, the terminal device receives the first information.
The first information is carried in a first PDCCH, the first PDCCH carrying the first information further comprises scheduling information of a first PUSCH, the first PUSCH is scheduled according to a first time domain resource allocation set at a first time, and the first information is used for determining a second time domain resource allocation set of a second PUSCH to be scheduled after the first time.
S202, the terminal equipment sends data to the network equipment through the first PUSCH according to the scheduling information of the first PUSCH. The slot offset of the first PUSCH is one value in the first set of time domain resource allocations.
Accordingly, the network device receives the data.
And S203, scheduling a second PUSCH according to a second time domain resource allocation set at a second time after the data of the first PUSCH is transmitted, wherein the second time is after the first time.
Unlike the embodiment shown in fig. 2, the first information is used to determine the time domain resource allocation set for uplink scheduling. For uplink scheduling, since there is no HARQ-ACK feedback, after the terminal device sends a PUSCH to the network device, the network device may not send HARQ-ACK information to the terminal device, and then the first PDCCH schedules the first PUSCH according to the first time domain resource allocation set at the first time, and then the terminal device may schedule the second PUSCH according to the second time domain resource allocation set at the second time after sending data through the first PUSCH.
The first set of time domain resource allocations is a different set than the second set of time domain resource allocations. For example, at a first time, the first PDCCH schedules the first PUSCH according to the first time domain resource allocation set, and a slot offset value in the first time domain resource allocation set is greater than or equal to 0, that is, the scheduling in the same time slot is available; and at the second time, the time slot offset values in the second time domain resource allocation set are all larger than 0, namely, the time slot can be crossed and scheduled at the same time. Or on the contrary, at the first time, the first PDCCH is scheduled according to the first time domain resource allocation set, and the time slot offset value in the first time domain resource allocation set is greater than 0, that is, the time slot can be scheduled in a cross-time slot mode, and the time slot cannot be scheduled at the same time; at the second time, the time slot offset value in the second time domain resource allocation set is greater than or equal to 0, i.e. the scheduling in the same time slot is possible. The first set of time domain resource allocations may also be a subset of the second set of time domain resource allocations, or the second set of time domain resource allocations may also be a subset of the first set of time domain resource allocations.
In this embodiment, the first information is used to determine that a value range of a slot offset for scheduling the second PUSCH after the first time is changed, a specific indication manner is not limited, and the first information may be a display indication or an implicit indication; the minimum value of the slot offset may be indicated, and an index value corresponding to the minimum value of the slot offset may also be indicated. The time domain resource allocation set in the present invention can also be expressed as the minimum value of the time slot offset.
As another time domain resource allocation set switching diagram illustrated in fig. 7, a first PDCCH carrying DCI1 at a first time is scheduled according to time domain resource allocation set 1, for example, PUSCH1 is scheduled, and the slot offset of PUSCH1 is one value in time domain resource allocation set 1, that is, the valid time domain resource allocation set is time domain resource allocation set 1. In this embodiment, the time domain offset value K in time domain resource allocation set 1 is greater than 0. For example, at a first time, DCI1 schedules PUSCH1 for cross-slot scheduling, and DCI2 schedules PUSCH2 for cross-slot scheduling. The DCI1 indicates that the second time uses resource allocation set 2, i.e., indicates that the second time switches to co-slot scheduling. The indication takes effect after the terminal device has sent PUSCH 1. The PUSCH is scheduled at a second time according to time domain resource allocation set 2, e.g., the PDCCH carrying DCI3 schedules PUSCH3 according to time domain resource allocation set 2. The time domain resource allocation set 2 is valid. In this example, time domain offset value K in time domain resource allocation set 2 is greater than or equal to 0. For example, DCI3 and PUSCH3 may be scheduled in simultaneous slots. The second time is after the first time.
It should be noted that, in this embodiment, if the terminal device is in cross timeslot scheduling, that is, the timeslot offset values in the time domain resource allocation set are all greater than 0, once the terminal device sends a scheduling request to the network device, the terminal device falls back to the default configuration of the time domain resource allocation set of the PDSCH, that is, the timeslot offset value may include 0, and may be scheduled in the same timeslot. After the network device receives the SR sent by the terminal device, the network device also falls back to the default time domain resource allocation set, i.e., the timeslot offset includes 0, and can perform the timeslot scheduling.
According to the communication method provided by the embodiment of the application, when data scheduling is carried out, the time domain resource allocation sets adopted in different time periods can be definitely indicated according to actual needs, so that the power consumption and the transmission delay of the terminal equipment are considered, meanwhile, the problem that the behaviors of the network equipment and the terminal equipment are inconsistent due to the fact that the terminal equipment is missed is avoided, and the reliability of dynamically switching the time domain resource allocation sets is ensured.
Fig. 8 is a flowchart illustrating another communication method according to an embodiment of the present application, including the following steps:
s301, the network equipment sends first information to the terminal equipment at the first time.
Accordingly, the terminal device receives the first information.
Wherein the first information is carried in the first PDCCH. The first PDCCH schedules the first PDSCH according to the first set of time domain resource allocations at a first time. For example, the first information is DCI. The DCI employs an existing DCI format (DCIformat) specific to the UE.
S302, when all bits of a frequency domain resource allocation (frequency domain resource allocation) field of the first PDCCH are zero, the terminal device determines, according to bits of a time domain resource allocation (time domain resource allocation) field of the first PDCCH, a second time domain resource allocation set for scheduling the second PDSCH or the second PUSCH after the first time.
And the terminal equipment analyzes the DCI of the PDCCH to obtain bits of a frequency domain resource allocation domain and bits of a time domain resource allocation domain. When the DCI is used for scheduling the PDSCH or the PUSCH, bits in the frequency domain resource allocation domain of the DCI are not all zero, that is, the PDSCH or the PUSCH needs to occupy a certain frequency domain resource, the terminal device may consider the first information to be normal scheduling information, and then the bits in the time domain resource allocation domain represent the time domain position of the currently scheduled PDSCH or PUSCH.
When all the bits of the frequency domain resource allocation domain of the first information are zero, it may be considered that the first information is not scheduling information of the current PDSCH or PUSCH, and then the bits of the time domain resource allocation domain represent the second time domain resource allocation set.
The first time domain resource allocation set may also be a subset of the second time domain resource allocation set, or the second time domain resource allocation set may also be a subset of the first time domain resource allocation set.
In particular, the bits of the time domain resource allocation field represent the minimum slot offset value or an index of the minimum slot offset value of the second set of time domain resource allocations. Then S302 includes: and when the bits of the frequency domain resource allocation domain of the first PDCCH are all zero, determining the minimum time slot offset value or the index of the minimum time slot offset value of the second PDSCH or the second PUSCH according to the bits of the time domain resource allocation domain of the first PDCCH. For example, when the bit of the time domain resource allocation field indicates that the minimum slot offset value is 0, then it may be determined that the slot offset value in the second time domain resource allocation set is greater than or equal to 0; when the bits of the time domain resource allocation field indicate that the minimum slot offset value is a certain value greater than 0, it may be determined that the slot offset value in the second time domain resource allocation set is greater than 0.
The frequency domain resource allocation is exemplified by Type0, a Resource Block Group (RBG) allocated to a terminal device is indicated by a bitmap (bitmap) (an RBG may be composed of a plurality of RBs), if a certain RBG is allocated to a certain terminal device, the corresponding bit in the bitmap is 1; otherwise, it is set to 0.
For example, RBGSize is 2, there are 13 RBGs, and if the corresponding BitMap field is 0000111111011B (binary), the occupied RBG is as shown in fig. 9 a. Fig. 9a is a schematic diagram of indicating PDSCH or PUSCH frequency domain resources through the frequency domain resource allocation domain of DCI. If the DCI scheduled PDSCH/PUSCH indicates at least one RB in the frequency domain, then at least one of the bitmaps is not 0. Conversely, if the terminal device detects that the frequency domain resource allocation bitmap of the DCI is all 0, that is, 0000000000000, the terminal device considers that the DCI is used to determine the first time domain resource allocation set for scheduling the second PDSCH or the second PUSCH after the first time, and the field of the corresponding time domain resource allocation field is understood as the minimum slot offset or the index corresponding to the minimum slot offset.
And S303, scheduling a second PDSCH or a second PUSCH according to the determined second time domain resource allocation set at a second time, wherein the second time is after the first time.
And at a second time, scheduling the second PDCCH according to the determined second time domain resource allocation set. The second set of time domain resource allocations may be a different set than the first set of time domain resource allocations. For example, at a first time, scheduling is performed according to a first time domain resource allocation set, and a time slot offset value in the first time domain resource allocation set is greater than or equal to 0, that is, scheduling can be performed in the same time slot; at a second time, the time slot offset value in the second time domain resource allocation set is greater than 0, i.e. it can be scheduled across time slots. Or conversely, at a first time, the first PDCCH is scheduled according to the first time domain resource allocation set, and a time slot offset value in the first time domain resource allocation set is greater than 0, that is, the time slot can be scheduled in a cross-time slot manner; at the second time, the time slot offset value in the second time domain resource allocation set is greater than or equal to 0, i.e. the scheduling in the same time slot is possible.
In this embodiment, the first information is used to determine that a value range of a time slot offset for scheduling the second PDSCH after the first time is changed, a specific indication manner is not limited, and the first information may be a display indication or an implicit indication; the minimum value of the slot offset may be indicated, and an index value corresponding to the minimum value of the slot offset may also be indicated. The time domain resource allocation set in the present invention can also be embodied as the minimum value of the slot offset.
According to the communication method provided by the embodiment of the application, when the first information is not used for scheduling, the time domain resource allocation set can be indicated through the bit of the time domain resource allocation domain of the first information, so that the time domain resource allocation set adopted in different time can be explicitly indicated according to actual needs, power consumption and transmission delay of the terminal equipment are considered, meanwhile, the problem that behaviors of the network equipment and the terminal equipment are inconsistent due to missed detection of the terminal equipment is avoided, and reliability of dynamically switching the time domain resource allocation set is ensured.
Generally, the first field of the downlink control information is used for scheduling data, and in the present application, the first field of the downlink control information may be multiplexed to determine the minimum timeslot offset value.
Fig. 10 is a flowchart of another communication method provided in an embodiment of the present application, which may include the following steps, for example:
s401, the network equipment sends downlink control information to the terminal equipment.
Accordingly, the terminal device receives the downlink control information.
Wherein the downlink control information is carried in the PDCCH.
S402, the terminal equipment determines the minimum time slot offset value according to the first domain of the downlink control information.
The downlink control information has a corresponding first field, which may be referred to as a field of uplink grant (scheduled PUSCH) or a field of downlink assignment (scheduled PDSCH) if the downlink control information is used for data scheduling. In this application, the downlink control information is not used for data scheduling, but the first field is multiplexed for determining a minimum slot offset value, which may also be referred to as a minimum value of slot offset. Wherein, the minimum slot offset value represents the minimum available slot offset value (minimum K0) for receiving PDSCH or the minimum available slot offset value (minimum K2) for transmitting PUSCH, that is, when there is actual scheduling, the network device uses the minimum slot offset to schedule PDSCH or PUSCH, that is, when the network device schedules PDSCH or PUSCH, the slot offset value of the PDSCH or PUSCH is greater than or equal to the minimum slot offset value, and the slot offset value of the terminal device for receiving PDSCH or transmitting PUSCH is greater than or equal to the minimum slot offset value. The minimum slot offset value may also represent a minimum available slot offset value for receiving an aperiodic CSI-RS or a minimum available slot offset value for an aperiodic SRS or a minimum available slot offset value for HARQ-ACK feedback corresponding to a PDSCH.
Wherein the first domain includes at least one of: a frequency domain resource allocation field, a time domain resource allocation field, a Modulation and Coding Scheme (MCS) field, a New Data Indicator (NDI) field, or a Redundancy Version (RV) field.
Optionally, the downlink control information further includes first indication information, where the first indication information is used to indicate that the first domain carries indication information of a minimum timeslot offset value. I.e., the first field of the above downlink control information may be explicitly indicated for determining the minimum slot offset value, not for data scheduling. For example, the first indication information is a 1-bit value, and when the first indication information is in the first state, it indicates that the first field is used for determining the minimum slot offset value; when the first indication information is in the second state, the first domain is used for data scheduling.
Of course, the first field of the downlink control information may be implicitly indicated to determine the minimum slot offset value instead of being used for data scheduling. For example, if the first field of the downlink control information is a set value, it may be determined that the first field of the downlink control information is used to determine the minimum slot offset value.
Specifically, in one implementation, S402 includes: and when one or more domains in the first domain of the downlink control information are a first set value, acquiring a value of the time domain resource allocation domain, wherein the value of the time domain resource allocation domain is used for indicating the minimum time slot offset value. In this implementation, the values of the time domain resource allocation field may take different values, with different values corresponding to different minimum slot offset values. For example, when the value of the frequency domain resource allocation domain is a preset or predefined specific value, the value of the time domain resource allocation domain represents minimum K0 or minimum K2, and for different frequency domain resource allocation modes, the specific values of the frequency domain resource allocation domain are different, specifically there may be the following cases:
a) the network side device only configures a frequency domain resource allocation mode type 0(type0) through RRC signaling, and indicates Resource Block Groups (RBGs) allocated to the terminal device through a bitmap (a RBG may be composed of multiple RBs), where each bit corresponds to one RBG. If a certain RBG is allocated to a certain terminal device, the corresponding bit in the bitmap is set to 1; otherwise, it is set to 0. As shown in fig. 9a, RBGs 4 to 9 and RBGs 11 to 12 are assigned to a terminal device, and have a bit of 1 and the remaining bits of 0. the bit number of the frequency domain resource allocation domain of type0 is NRBG,NRBGEqual to the number of RBGs of the active upstream BWP or the active downstream BWP. As shown in FIG. 9a, NRBG13. When N is presentRBGWhen the bits are all 0, the bit of the time domain resource allocation field indicates minimum K0 or minimum K2, e.g., NRBGAs 13, bitmap equals 0000000000000.
b) The network side device allocates only a frequency domain resource allocation type 1(type1) through RRC signaling, allocates a plurality of consecutive Resource Blocks (RBs) to the terminal device, and performs resource allocation in units of RBs. Indicating a resource block starting position RB by a Resource Indication Value (RIV)startAnd the number L of RB allocated consecutivelyRB. Fig. 9b is a schematic diagram of indicating PDSCH or PUSCH frequency domain resources by RIV. the number of bits of the frequency domain resource allocation field of type1 is Indicating the number of RBs of the active uplink BWP or the active downlink BWP. As shown in figure 9b of the drawings,thenWhen in useWhen all bits are 1, the bit of the time domain resource allocation field indicates minimum K0 or minimum K2. To be provided withFor example, 7 bits of the bit number of the frequency domain resource allocation domain are 1111111. And if a frequency domain hopping flag (frequency hopping flag) domain also exists in the downlink control information, setting a bit of the frequency domain hopping flag domain as 'disabled'.
c) The network side device configures a frequency domain resource allocation type0 and a frequency domain resource allocation type1 through RRC signaling, so that the number of bits in the frequency domain resource allocation domain is1 bit of the Most Significant Bit (MSB) of the frequency domain resource allocation field may dynamically indicate whether the current frequency domain resource allocation mode is type0 or type1, a 1 bit of the MSB being "0" indicates that the current frequency domain resource allocation mode is type0, and a 1 bit of the MSB being "1" indicates that the current frequency domain resource allocation mode is type 1. If the frequency domain resource allocation mode of the dynamic indication is type0, N of Least Significant Bit (LSB)RBGOf one bit or LSBWhen all the bits are 0, the bit of the time domain resource allocation field indicates minimum K0 or minimum K2. If the dynamically indicated frequency domain resource allocation mode is type1, LSBOf one bit or LSBWhen all bits are 1, the bit of the time domain resource allocation field indicates minimum K0 or minimum K2. And if the downlink control information also has a frequency domain hopping identification field, setting the bit of the frequency domain hopping identification field as 'de-enable'.
For another example, when the modulation and coding scheme field indicates one of MCS indexes corresponding to the MCS table labeled "reserved", such as MCS indexes 28 to 31, NDI indicates 0, and/or RV indicates 0 in the MCS table illustrated in table 1, the value of the time domain resource allocation field indicates minimum K0 or minimum K2. Which of the first domain is set as the setting value can be determined according to actual needs. It is understood that one or more of the first domains are the first setting values, and the first setting values corresponding to each domain may be the same or different.
TABLE 1
In yet another implementation, S402 includes: and when one or more domains in the first domain of the downlink control information are the first set values, acquiring a pre-configured or predefined minimum time slot offset value. Unlike the foregoing implementation, in the present implementation, the minimum slot offset value is a pre-configured or pre-defined value, and it is not necessary to indicate the minimum slot offset value in the field display in the downlink control information. Accordingly, when one or more of the first domains is a first set value, the minimum slot offset value is determined to be the previously configured or predefined minimum slot offset value.
Optionally, the network device may also determine the minimum timeslot offset value according to the first field of the downlink control information.
In this embodiment, when one or more of the first fields of the downlink control information are the first setting values, the downlink control information does not actually schedule data, but the UE may still feed back HARQ-ACK according to the ACK/NACK resource indicated in the downlink control information, for example, for the downlink control information, the terminal device always feeds back ACK or always feeds back NACK.
According to the communication method provided by the embodiment of the application, the first domain of the multiplexing downlink control information is used for determining the minimum time slot offset value, the bits of the control information are not increased, the overhead of the control information is reduced, and the reliability of a signaling can be improved by combining with HARQ-ACK feedback.
In the prior art, after the network device sends the first downlink control information carrying the minimum timeslot offset value, the minimum timeslot offset value can be applied/validated after a period of time. However, it is possible that the network device sends the second downlink control information to the terminal device before the minimum timeslot offset value carried by the first downlink control information is applied/validated. The first downlink control information and the second downlink control information are both used to indicate a minimum timeslot offset value, and therefore, there is a problem how to determine an actual minimum timeslot offset value by the terminal device.
Fig. 11 is a flowchart of another communication method provided in an embodiment of the present application, which may include the following steps, for example:
s501, the network device sends first downlink control information to the terminal device at a first time.
Accordingly, the terminal device receives the first downlink control information at a first time.
Wherein the first downlink control information is used to indicate a first minimum slot offset value. The manner of determining the first minimum slot offset value according to the first downlink control information may refer to the previous embodiments.
Assuming that the terminal device receives an indication of the first minimum slot offset value at slot n, the terminal device will apply/validate the first minimum slot offset value at slot n + K or after slot n + K. This first minimum slot offset value cannot be used until slot n + K. Where K may be greater than 0.
The network device dynamically switches/indicates the first minimum slot offset value, and there will be a time interval between signaling and the new first minimum slot offset value being in effect, which is called the application time/effect time K. For example, the new first minimum slot offset value is applied/validated only after the terminal device feeds back the HARQ-ACK or after the terminal device sends the PUSCH described in the foregoing embodiment, that is, K depends on the time interval from the downlink control information to the HARQ-ACK feedback or the PUSCH; for another example, K is equal to the old first minimum slot offset value, or stated that the new first minimum slot offset value is not yet in effect, K is the currently effective first minimum slot offset value. The size of K may also relate to PDCCH decoding time. And the time slot in which the indication signaling is positioned after the time interval is added is called as application time or effective time, and the network equipment and the terminal equipment still schedule data according to the old first minimum time slot offset value before the new first minimum time slot offset value takes effect.
Therefore, the terminal device receives the first downlink control information at a first time, the first downlink control information is not applied immediately, and the application time of the first downlink control information is not earlier than a second time. The second time is later than the first time, and a certain time interval is reserved between the second time and the first time.
As shown in fig. 12, the application of the downlink control information is schematically illustrated, the minimum time slot offset value K0 of the currently received PDSCH min2, and a first DCI is received, the first DCI indicating K0 min1, first DCI or K0minThe application time of 1 is the time at which application time 1 ends as shown in the figure, i.e. K0 is still used before application time 1 endsminAfter application time 1 ends, the new minimum slot offset value is used 2.
Optionally, the starting position of the application time of the new minimum slot offset value may be the symbol where the DCI is located or the starting position of the slot where the DCI is located, or the ending position of the symbol where the DCI is located or the ending position of the slot where the DCI is located.
And S502, the network equipment sends second downlink control information to the terminal equipment at the third moment.
Correspondingly, the terminal equipment receives the second downlink control information at the third moment.
Before the first downlink control information is applied, the terminal device receives new downlink control information, that is, second downlink control information, at a third time. The third time is between the first time and the second time, the second downlink control information is used for indicating a second minimum timeslot offset value, and the application time of the second downlink control information is not earlier than a fourth time.
Still referring to fig. 12 above, after receiving the first DCI, and at the first DCI or K0minBefore 1 application, a second DCI is received again, the second DCI indicating K0 min0, second DCI or K0minThe application time 0 is the time at which the application time 2 ends as shown in the figure, and the application time 2 ends later than the application time 1.
S503, the terminal device determines a used minimum timeslot offset value and an application time of the used minimum timeslot offset value according to the first downlink control information and/or the second downlink control information, where the used minimum timeslot offset value is one of the first minimum timeslot offset value and the second minimum timeslot offset value, and the used application time is not earlier than one of the second time and the fourth time.
In one embodiment, regardless of whether the first minimum slot offset value and the second minimum slot offset value are the same, the terminal device determines that the second minimum slot offset value indicated by the latest DCI (i.e., the second DCI) is the minimum slot offset value used, and determines that the application time of the second minimum slot offset value ends at the application time of the minimum slot offset value used. The timing of the application time of the minimum slot offset value to be used is updated from the start position of the first DCI to the start position of the second DCI, or the application time of the minimum slot offset value to be used is updated from the end position of the first DCI to the end position of the second DCI.
As shown in fig. 12, the minimum slot offset value used for the final determination is K0minWhen the time of application of the minimum slot offset value is 0, the application time 2 ends.
In another embodiment, if the first minimum slot offset value and the second minimum slot offset value are not the same, the terminal device determines that the second minimum slot offset value indicated by the latest DCI (i.e., the second DCI) is the minimum slot offset value used, and determines that the time at which the application time of the second minimum slot offset value ends is the application time of the minimum slot offset value used.
In still another case, if the first minimum slot offset value and the second minimum slot offset value are the same, the terminal device does not update the application time, still uses the first minimum slot offset value indicated by the first DCI as the minimum slot offset value to be used, and determines that the time at which the application time of the first minimum slot offset value ends as the application time of the minimum slot offset value to be used.
It is understood that the flows of this embodiment and the embodiment shown in fig. 10 may be independent of each other or may be combined together. The embodiment shown in fig. 10 mainly describes how to determine the minimum slot offset value to be used, and fig. 11 describes the application time of determining the minimum slot offset value to be used in addition to how to determine the minimum slot offset value to be used.
According to a communication method provided in an embodiment of the present application, if second downlink control information is received before the first downlink control information is applied/validated, a minimum timeslot offset value to be used and an application time of the minimum timeslot offset value to be used are determined according to the first downlink control information and/or the second downlink control information, so as to resolve a conflict between the minimum timeslot offset values indicated by a plurality of downlink control information.
If the terminal device supports configuring multiple bandwidth parts (BWPs), the time domain resource allocation sets of different BWPs are different, and the minimum slot offset value of the first BWP is not necessarily applicable to the second BWP. The network device can switch BWP while scheduling data, and the problem of how to indicate the minimum slot offset value of the switched BWP needs to be solved.
Fig. 13 is a flowchart of another communication method provided in an embodiment of the present application, which may include the following steps:
s601, the network device transmits downlink control information on the first bandwidth part, where the downlink control information includes a slot offset value and BWP indication information.
Accordingly, the terminal device receives the downlink control information on the first BWP.
If the network device configures a plurality of BWPs to the terminal device, the network device may switch the BWPs while scheduling data. The network device transmits first DCI on a first BWP, wherein the first DCI comprises a slot offset value for scheduling PDSCH or PUSCH and BWP identification indication information. The BWP identification indication information indicates an identification of BWP for PDSCH or PUSCH data transmission. If the BWP identification indication information includes the identification of the first BWP, the switching of BWP is not performed, and the data transmission is still performed at the first BWP and the terminal device is still operating at the first BWP; if the BWP identification indication information includes the identification of other BWPs, for example, the identification of the second BWP, it indicates that the terminal device will switch to the second BWP, i.e., the second BWP is activated, and the terminal device will operate on the second BWP to perform data transmission on the second BWP.
S602, when the BWP identification indication information indicates a second BWP, the terminal device takes the slot offset value as the minimum slot offset value of the second BWP.
When the BWP indication information indicates the second BWP, that is, the terminal device is to be switched from the first BWP to the second BWP for data transmission, the terminal device still uses the slot offset value indicated by the first DCI as the minimum slot offset value of the second BWP. Accordingly, the network device takes the slot offset value indicated in the first DCI as the minimum slot offset value of the second BWP. In this way, the network device does not need to send control information on the second BWP to re-indicate the minimum slot offset value of the second BWP after the second BWP is activated, which saves signaling overhead and improves communication efficiency.
Specifically, the downlink control information is further used to instruct the terminal device to receive the PDSCH or transmit the PUSCH on the second BWP at the first time, and accordingly, the network device transmits the PDSCH or receives the PUSCH on the second BWP at the first time. And the first time is the time slot in which the time slot offset value indicated by the first DCI is added to the receiving time slot of the downlink control information. For example, if the terminal device receives DCI in a slot n, the first time is n plus a slot where shift is located, where shift is a slot offset value of the PDSCH or PUSCH scheduled by the first DCI.
Optionally, in a further embodiment, when the BWP indication information indicates a first BWP, if the slot offset value is smaller than the minimum slot offset value of the first BWP, the network device transmits the PDSCH or receives the PUSCH at a second time, and accordingly, the terminal device receives the PDSCH or transmits the PUSCH at the second time. And the second time is the time slot in which the minimum time slot offset value of the first BWP is added to the receiving time slot of the downlink control information. And the terminal device takes the time slot offset value as a new minimum time slot offset value of the first BWP, namely, the terminal device updates the minimum time slot offset value of the first BWP to the time slot offset value. The new minimum slot offset worth application time or validation time may refer to the previous embodiments.
That is to say, BWP is not switched, and at the current second time, the minimum slot offset value of the first BWP is used for data transmission, and the transmission slot of the PDSCH or PUSCH scheduled by the DCI is the slot where the receiving slot of the DCI plus the minimum slot offset value of the first BWP is located.
Optionally, in another embodiment, when the BWP indication information indicates the second BWP, if the timeslot offset value of the PDSCH or PUSCH scheduled by the downlink control information is smaller than the latency required for BWP handover, and the latency required for BWP handover may also be represented as the timeslot required for BWP handover, performing data transmission on the slot where the slot number of the timeslot required for BWP handover is added to the receiving slot of the downlink control information. Therefore, if the time slot offset value is smaller than the time delay required by BWP handover, the network device sends the PDSCH or receives the PUSCH on the time slot where the time slot required by BWP handover is added to the receiving time slot of the downlink control information. Correspondingly, the terminal equipment receives the PDSCH or transmits the PUSCH on the time slot where the time slot of the receiving time slot of the downlink control information plus the time slot needed by the BWP switching is located. For example, as shown in the BWP handover diagram of fig. 14, the terminal device receives DCI at a first BWP in a slot n, where the BWP identification indication information of the DCI indicates a second BWP, the slot offset value indicated by the DCI is X, where X is smaller than M, and then the terminal device receives PDSCH or transmits PUSCH in a slot where n plus M is located, where M is a slot required for BWP handover.
As shown in the BWP handover diagram of fig. 14, taking downlink scheduling as an example, if the slot offset value indicated in the DCI on BWP1 is smaller than BWP handover delay M, the terminal device receives PDSCH on BWP2 at the slot where the DCI reception slot plus the handover delay M slots is located, and takes the slot offset value as the minimum slot offset value of DCI-scheduled PDSCH on BWP 2.
It is to be understood that the flow of the embodiment shown in fig. 13 may also be operated independently of the flow of the previous embodiment, or may be operated in combination.
According to the communication method provided by the embodiment of the application, when the BWP is dynamically switched, the minimum slot offset value of the target BWP can be indicated at the same time, no new bit needs to be added, and the scheduling opportunity is not affected to reduce the transmission delay. When BWP does not switch, the minimum slot offset value can be updated from a larger value to a smaller value without affecting the scheduling opportunity and reducing transmission delay without adding new bit field. The foregoing embodiments may be employed if the base station and the UE desire to switch the minimum slot offset value from a smaller value to a larger value.
