Optionally, the communication system 100 may further include other network entities such as a network controller, a mobility management entity, and the like, which is not limited in this embodiment.

Taking the communication system 100 shown in fig. 1 as an example, the communication device may include a network device 110 and a terminal device 120 having a communication function, and the network device 110 and the terminal device 120 may be the specific devices described above and are not described herein again; the communication device may also include other devices in the communication system 100, such as other network entities, for example, a network controller, a mobility management entity, and the like, which is not limited in this embodiment.

At present, if the URLLC service occupies the time-frequency resource of the eMBB service, the downlink preemption indication includes two methods: (1) the 14 bits correspond to a 14 symbol group (symbol group), and indicate which time-frequency resources of the eMBB service are occupied, wherein a frequency domain BandWidth of the indicated occupied time-frequency resources is a BandWidth Part (BWP) BandWidth. (2) The 14 bits correspond to 7 symbol groups × 2 frequency bands, which indicate which time frequency resources of the eMBB service are occupied, wherein the indicated frequency domain bandwidth of the occupied time frequency resources is a bandwidth obtained by rounding (BWP/2).

The indication is mainly directed to unpredictable URLLC services, where the time-frequency resources occupied by the services are unpredictable, but most of the services are large-bandwidth transmission, and therefore, an indication mode of frequency domain coarse grain and time domain fine grain is adopted. Due to the fact that coarse-grained indication is adopted in the frequency domain, the indicated occupied time frequency resource bandwidth may be larger or smaller than the actually occupied time frequency resource bandwidth, and therefore the accuracy of the indication mode is low.

In view of this, the present application provides a communication method, which can improve the accuracy of indicating that the time-frequency resource is occupied.

Fig. 2 is a schematic flow chart diagram of a communication method 200 according to an embodiment of the present application. The method 200 may be performed by a terminal device and may include at least some of the following.

It should be understood that the embodiments of the present application may be applicable to not only Acknowledgement (ACK)/Negative Acknowledgement (NACK) for semi-persistent/semi-static transmission, but also semi-persistent/semi-static downlink data transmission. Of course, the embodiments of the present application may also be applied to the uplink transmission scenario.

In 210, the terminal device receives first indication information sent by the network device.

The first indication information is used for indicating a time frequency resource set, and the time frequency resource set comprises at least one time frequency resource. For convenience of description, in the embodiments of the present application, the terminal device is referred to as a first terminal device, and the time-frequency resource set is referred to as a first time-frequency resource set.

Optionally, in this embodiment of the present application, the first set of time-frequency resources may represent a set of time-frequency resources that may be occupied.

Optionally, in this embodiment, the time-frequency resource in the first set of time-frequency resources may be a transmission opportunity. For example, bit 11000100 of the first indication information may represent 8 transmission opportunities, one bit corresponding to one transmission opportunity.

Optionally, the time-frequency resources in the first set of time-frequency resources may be time-frequency resources belonging to a time-frequency resource for at least one terminal device to transmit at least one service.

For example, the time-frequency resource in the first set of time-frequency resources may be a resource belonging to a first service for transmission by the first terminal device, and at this time, the time-frequency resource in the first set of time-frequency resources may be occupied by a second service of the first terminal device, or occupied by the first service and/or the second service of the second terminal device.

Further exemplarily, the time-frequency resource in the first set of time-frequency resources may be a resource belonging to a second terminal device for transmitting the first service, and at this time, the time-frequency resource in the first set of time-frequency resources may be occupied by the first service and/or the second service of the first terminal device, or occupied by the second service of the second terminal device.

Further exemplarily, the time-frequency resources in the first set of time-frequency resources may be resources belonging to the first terminal device and the second terminal device for transmitting the first service, and at this time, the time-frequency resources in the first set of time-frequency resources may be occupied by the second service of the first terminal device and/or the second terminal device.

Wherein the second service is at least one service except the first service. The priority of the second service may be higher than the priority of the first service, or the delay of the second service may be shorter than the delay of the first service. For example, the first service may be an eMBB service, and the second service may be a URLLC service.

Optionally, the granularity of the time-frequency Resource may be at a symbol level, and the granularity of the frequency-domain Resource may be at a Physical Resource Block (PRB) level. Exemplarily, the frequency domain resource of the time-frequency resource may be at least one PRB. Such as 1-2 PRBs. Further illustratively, the frequency domain Resource of the time frequency Resource may be at least one Resource Block Group (RBG). Such as 1-2 RBGs.

Optionally, when the first time-frequency resource set includes a plurality of time-frequency resources, two adjacent time-frequency resources in the plurality of time-frequency resources may be continuous or discontinuous in a time domain, which is not specifically limited in this embodiment of the present application.

For example, time frequency resource 1 and time frequency resource 2 are adjacent in the time domain, the time domain position of time frequency resource 1 may be symbol 1 and symbol 2, and the time domain position of time frequency resource 2 may be symbol 6 and symbol 7.

In the embodiment of the present application, the first indication information indicates a first set of time and frequency resources, which may be understood as follows as an example: the first indication information explicitly indicates a first set of time-frequency resources.

Optionally, the first indication information may indicate only the first set of time-frequency resources, or may indicate the first set of time-frequency resources and a second set of time-frequency resources, where the second set of time-frequency resources is at least one set of time-frequency resources other than the first set of time-frequency resources.

It can be seen that, when the first indication information indicates the first set of time-frequency resources and the second set of time-frequency resources, the network device may send only one first indication information to the terminal device, so as to indicate all sets of time-frequency resources.

As another example, the first indication information indicates a first set of time-frequency resources, which can be understood as: the first indication information implicitly indicates a first set of time-frequency resources.

In one possible embodiment, the first indication information may indicate a first set of time-frequency resources configuration. At this time, the terminal device may determine the first set of time-frequency resources according to the first set of time-frequency resources configuration.

Optionally, the first set of time-frequency resources configuration may include, but is not limited to, at least one of: the time domain position of each time-frequency resource in the first set of time-frequency resources, the frequency domain position of each time-frequency resource in the first set of time-frequency resources, the period of each time-frequency resource in the first set of time-frequency resources, and the pattern of each time-frequency resource in the first set of time-frequency resources.

The time domain position of each time frequency resource can be understood as the position of the time unit in which each time frequency resource is located. Alternatively, the time unit referred to herein may be a subframe, a slot, a symbol, or a Short Transmission Timing Interval (sTTI). For example, the time-frequency resources are located at the 4 th slot and the 5 th slot in the time domain.

Illustratively, the first set of time-frequency resources configuration may include: the frequency domain resource of one time frequency resource is PRB1-PR5, and occupies 2 symbols in the time domain, the period is 2 symbols, and the time domain offset is 1 symbol.

For another example, the first set of time-frequency resources configuration may include: the pattern of time-frequency resources is a sub-slot occupancy pattern {10101110111010111011} within 1 radio frame.

In another possible embodiment, the first indication information may indicate other parameters. After receiving the first indication information, the terminal device may determine the first set of time-frequency resources according to other parameters indicated by the first indication information.

Optionally, the other parameter may be an index of the first set of time-frequency resources. The terminal device may determine a first set of time-frequency resources among the multiple sets of time-frequency resources according to the index.

For example, there are 3 time-frequency resource sets, which are a first time-frequency resource set, a second time-frequency resource set, and a third time-frequency resource set, respectively, and the index of the first time-frequency resource set is 1, the terminal device may determine the first time-frequency resource set according to the index 1.

In another possible embodiment, the first indication information may indicate identification information of the first set of time-frequency resources. The terminal device may determine the first set of time-frequency resources according to the identification information.

Optionally, the first set of time frequency resources may be predefined. Preferably, the first set of time-frequency resources may be semi-statically configured, i.e. at least one time-frequency resource in the first set of time-frequency resources may be a semi-static resource.

For example, at least one time-frequency resource in the first set of time-frequency resources may be the same as a feedback resource of ACK/NACK corresponding to Scheduling Free transmission (Grant Free) or an allocation of a resource of Semi-Persistent Scheduling (SPS).

Optionally, the first indication information may be carried in Radio Resource Control (RRC) signaling.

Optionally, the method may further include: and the terminal equipment receives the fourth indication information sent by the network equipment. Wherein the fourth indication information may be used to activate or deactivate time-frequency resources in the first set of time-frequency resources.

Optionally, the fourth indication information may be carried in a physical layer signaling or a Media Access Control (MAC) signaling. For example, the fourth indication Information may be carried in Downlink Control Information (DCI). For another example, the fourth indication information may be carried in a Common (Common) Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH).

As an example, the fourth indication information may activate or deactivate the time-frequency resources in the first set of time-frequency resources by at least one bit.

For example, the fourth indication information may activate the time-frequency resources in the first set of time-frequency resources by a bit "1", and deactivate the time-frequency resources in the first set of time-frequency resources by a bit "0".

Still exemplarily, the number of bits of the fourth indication information may be multiple, and if the multiple bits are the same, it indicates that the time-frequency resource in the first set of time-frequency resources is activated, and if at least two bits of the multiple bits are different, it indicates that the time-frequency resource in the first set of time-frequency resources is deactivated. For example, "000" indicates activation of a time-frequency resource in the first set of time-frequency resources, and "010" indicates deactivation of a time-frequency resource in the first set of time-frequency resources.

As another example, the fourth indication information may activate or deactivate a time-frequency resource in the first set of time-frequency resources through the first parameter.

Exemplarily, if the fourth indication information includes the first parameter, it indicates that the time-frequency resources in the first set of time-frequency resources are activated; and if the fourth indication information does not comprise the first parameter, the deactivation of the time-frequency resources in the first time-frequency resource set is represented.

It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present application, the first parameter is not specifically limited, and any parameter that can activate or deactivate the time-frequency resources in the first time-frequency resource set is included in the protection scope of the present application.

As another example, the fourth indication information may include activation signaling, where the activation signaling is used to activate time-frequency resources in the first set of time-frequency resources; and/or the fourth indication information may include deactivation signaling, where the deactivation signaling may be used to deactivate a time-frequency resource in the first set of time-frequency resources.

When the fourth indication information includes the activation signaling but not the deactivation signaling, the fourth indication information may activate the time-frequency resources in the first set of time-frequency resources through the activation signaling, and deactivate the time-frequency resources in the first set of time-frequency resources through at least one bit or the first parameter.

When the fourth indication information includes the deactivation signaling but not the activation signaling, the third indication information may activate the time-frequency resources in the first set of time-frequency resources through at least one bit or the first parameter, and deactivate the time-frequency resources in the first set of time-frequency resources through the deactivation signaling.

When the fourth indication information includes an activation signaling and a deactivation signaling, the third indication information may activate the time-frequency resources in the first set of time-frequency resources through the activation signaling, and deactivate the time-frequency resources in the first set of time-frequency resources through the deactivation signaling.

Alternatively, the activation signaling and the deactivation signaling may be transmitted through the same DCI format. As an example, the DCI format may include an activation signaling field with N bits, where the N bits are all 1 to indicate activation of a time-frequency resource in the first set of time-frequency resources, and the N bits are all 0 to indicate deactivation of the time-frequency resource in the first set of time-frequency resources. Wherein N is a positive integer.

Optionally, in this embodiment of the present application, the effective time of the activation signaling or the deactivation signaling may be preset or indicated to the terminal device by the network device through the signaling. For example, the network device may configure the effective time of the activation signaling to be p time units through the high-level signaling, and the terminal device may activate the time-frequency resource in the first time-frequency resource set occurring at time unit n + p and later when receiving the activation signaling in time unit n. For another example, the network device may configure the effective time of the deactivation signaling to be q time units through a high-level signaling, and the terminal device may deactivate the time-frequency resource in the first time-frequency resource set occurring in time unit n + q and later when receiving the deactivation signaling in time unit n.

It should be understood that, in the embodiment of the present application, the term "and/or" is only one kind of association relationship describing an associated object, and means that three relationships may exist, for example, a and/or B may mean: a exists alone, A and B exist simultaneously, and B exists alone. In addition, the character "/" herein generally indicates that the former and latter related objects are in an "or" relationship.

In 220, the terminal device receives the second indication information sent by the network device.

The second indication information may be used to indicate occupied time-frequency resources in the first set of time-frequency resources, that is, the second indication information may be used to indicate actually occupied time-frequency resources among the possibly occupied time-frequency resources.

Therefore, the network equipment indicates the actually occupied time frequency resource to the terminal equipment based on the probably occupied time frequency resource, so that the occupied time frequency resource indicated by the network equipment is the actually occupied time frequency resource, and the accuracy of indicating that the resource is occupied can be improved.

Alternatively, the second indication information may be preemption indication signaling. The second indication information may be carried in physical layer signaling, such as DCI.

Optionally, in this embodiment of the application, the second indication information may indicate occupied time-frequency resources in the first set of time-frequency resources in a bit mapping manner. The bit mapping manner may be understood as that bits of the second indication information correspond to time-frequency resources in the first set of time-frequency resources one to one.

Alternatively, bit {1} may indicate that the time-frequency resource in the first set of time-frequency resources is occupied, and {0} indicates that the time-frequency resource in the first set of time-frequency resources is unoccupied. For example, there are 4 time-frequency resources in the first set of time-frequency resources, i.e. there are 4 time-frequency resources that may be occupied. The second indication information may indicate whether the 4 first time-frequency resources are actually occupied using {0010 }. It can be seen that the third first time frequency resource is occupied and the other first time frequency resources are unoccupied.

It should be understood that the bit "1" in the embodiment of the present application indicates that the time frequency resource is occupied, and the bit "0" indicates that the time frequency resource is unoccupied, which is only for helping a person skilled in the art to better understand the embodiment of the present invention, and does not limit the scope of the embodiment of the present application. Of course, in the embodiment of the present application, a bit "0" may also be used to indicate that the time frequency resource is occupied, and a bit "1" indicates that the time frequency resource is not occupied, or other parameters may also be used to indicate whether the time frequency resource is occupied.

It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present application, each time-frequency resource in the first set of time-frequency resources corresponds to one transmission opportunity, that is, one bit of the second indication information corresponds to one transmission opportunity.

It should be further noted that the number of bits of the second indication information is limited, and when the first set of time-frequency resources includes multiple time-frequency resources, the bits of the second indication information may indicate at least part of the time-frequency resources in the first set of time-frequency resources. At this time, the terminal device may determine which time-frequency resources in the first set of time-frequency domain resources are the time-frequency resources corresponding to the bits carried by the second indication information. For example, the first time-frequency resource set includes 10 time-frequency resources, the bit carried by the second indication information is {0010}, and the terminal device needs to determine which 4 time-frequency resources of the 10 time-frequency resources the 4 time-frequency resources indicated by the second indication information are.

At this time, optionally, when the second indication information indicates occupied time-frequency resources in at least part of the time-frequency domain resources in the first set of time-frequency domain resources, the method 200 may further include: the terminal device determines a time window, wherein the time window includes at least part of time-frequency resources in the first set of time-frequency resources. The terminal device may then determine occupied time-frequency resources in the first set of time-frequency resources based on the second indication information and at least a portion of the time-frequency resources in the first set of time-frequency resources included in the time window.

For example, the first time-frequency resource set includes 10 time-frequency resources, which are respectively time-frequency resource 1, time-frequency resource 2 … …, and time-frequency resource 10, the terminal device determines that the time window includes time-frequency resource 2, time-frequency resource 3, time-frequency resource 4, and time-frequency resource 5, and the bit carried by the second indication information is {0010}, then the terminal device may determine that time-frequency resource 5 is occupied in the 10 time-frequency resources.

The time window may be represented as a time range, and the time-frequency resource in the time window may be the time-frequency resource indicated by the second indication information. That is, the bits of the second indication information correspond to the time frequency resources in the time window one to one.

Alternatively, the time window may be protocol agreed.

Alternatively, the time window may be determined by the network device. In this case, the method 200 may further include: and the network equipment sends third indication information to the terminal equipment, wherein the third indication can be used for indicating the time window.

In this embodiment of the present application, the network device may send the first indication information, the second indication information, and the third indication information to the terminal device together, and the network device may also send the first indication information, the second indication information, and the third indication information respectively.

Typically, the network device may transmit the first indication information and the third indication information together to the terminal device, and transmit the second indication information independently to the terminal device. At this time, the first indication information and the third indication information may be carried in RRC signaling, and the second indication information may be carried in physical layer signaling.

As an example, the time window may be a first time period before a time unit when the second indication information is received from the terminal device.

Alternatively, the division of the time window may be based on absolute time. For example, 5ms is a time window, and the first time period is 5 ms. For another example, the first time period may be 1-2 time slots before the time when the terminal device receives the second indication information, or may be a fixed window, such as a radio frame.

Optionally, the division of the time window may be based on the number of time-frequency resources. For example, 10 time frequency resources are a time window. At this time, the first time period is a time period in which 10 time frequency resources are located. In this case, the lengths of the different time windows may be different.

As another example, the time window may be a first time period after the time unit when the second indication information is received from the terminal device.

As another example, the time window may be a second time period before the time unit when the second indication information is received from the terminal device and a third time period after the time unit when the second indication information is received from the terminal device.

Wherein a sum of the second period of time and the third period of time may be equal to the first period of time. The second time period may be equal to or different from the third time period, which is not limited in this embodiment of the application.

In the embodiment of the application, the number of bits of the second indication information received by the terminal device at different times is the same.

If the time window is divided based on the number of the time frequency resources, the number of the time frequency resources in the time window corresponding to the second indication information received by the terminal device at different times is the same, and in this case, the number of bits of the second indication information received by the terminal device at different times is always the same.

If the time window is divided based on absolute time, the number of the time-frequency resources in the first time window may be different from the number of the time-frequency resources in the second time window, where the first time window is a time window corresponding to second indication information currently received by the terminal device, and the second time window is a time window corresponding to second indication information received by the terminal device at least once before.

For example, 5ms is a time window, the terminal device receives the second indication information at the first time, and 5ms before the first time is the first time window, and the first time window includes 3 time-frequency resources. And the terminal equipment receives the second indication information at a second moment, wherein 5ms before the second moment is a second time window, and the second time window comprises 2 time-frequency resources.

In this case, the bit number of the second indication information received by the terminal device at any time is a first value, where the first value is a value of the maximum number of time-frequency resources in a time window corresponding to the second indication information received by the terminal device at different times.

For example, if the terminal device has 3 time-frequency resources in the time window corresponding to the second indication information received at the first time, and has 2 time-frequency resources in the time window corresponding to the second indication information received at the second time, the bit number of the second indication information is 3.

Optionally, if the number of resources in the time window is less than the number of bits of the second indication information, the redundant bits may adopt placeholders. Illustratively, a placeholder may be represented using a "0".

Optionally, the placeholder may be located in a first bit of the bits of the second indication information, or may be located in a last bit of the bits of the second indication information, which is not specifically limited in this embodiment of the application.

The resource occupation indication of the embodiment of the present application is illustrated in conjunction with fig. 3 and 4.

Fig. 3 is an indication of occupation of periodic time-frequency resources. The network device configures periodic time frequency resources for downlink transmission, the periodic time frequency resources are defined as a 2ms time window, and the time frequency resource occupation condition is indicated based on the sub-slot granularity, wherein 1ms comprises 4 sub-slots, and 2ms comprises 8 sub-slots. The network device indicates the time-frequency resource {1010101010101010} possibly occupied by the semi-static transmission by 8 bits, and configures the time-frequency resource to the terminal device through high-layer signaling. And the network device indicates to the terminal device an occupancy status for the semi-static resource based on the configuration. If the time-frequency resource filled with oblique lines is actually occupied and the semi-static resource without filling is not occupied, the bit of the second indication information is {0001}, which indicates that the last semi-static resource of the 4 semi-static resources which may be occupied is occupied.

Fig. 4 is an indication of occupation of aperiodic time-frequency resources. The network equipment configures aperiodic time frequency resources for downlink transmission, and indicates the time frequency resources {1000101010101010} which may be occupied by semi-static transmission through 8 bits. The network equipment is configured to the terminal equipment through high-level signaling. And the network device indicates to the terminal device an occupancy status for the semi-static resource based on the configuration. If the resource filled with oblique lines is actually occupied, the semi-static resource without filling is not occupied. Since the number of semi-static resources within 2 time windows is different, a maximum of 4 is used. And for the condition of less semi-static resource number, adopting redundant occupation. As shown in fig. 4, the bits of the second indication information have 4 bits, the first three bits are used to indicate whether the semi-static resource is occupied, and the last bit is occupied by redundancy. Therefore, the bit of the second indication information is {0010}, which indicates that the last semi-static resource of the 3 semi-static resources that may be occupied is occupied.

In this embodiment, as an example, the second indication information may be scrambled with an RNTI other than the preemption Indication (INT) -Radio Network Temporary Identity (RNTI).

It should be noted that, in the prior art, the second indication information, that is, the preemption indication signaling, is scrambled by using INT-RNTI, and the second indication information in the embodiment of the present application is scrambled by using RNTI other than INT-RNTI, so that after receiving the second indication information, the terminal device can distinguish the second indication information in the prior art from the second indication information in the embodiment of the present application. Of course, the second indication information in the prior art may be distinguished from the second indication information in the embodiment of the present application in other manners.

Illustratively, the DCI carrying the second indication information may include an N-bit distinguishing region to distinguish the second indication information of the present application from the second indication information in the prior art.

As another example, the network device may transmit first information including a parameter that distinguishes second indication information of the related art to the terminal device.

It should be understood that, in the embodiments of the present application, the terms "first", "second", and "third", etc. are used merely to distinguish different objects, and do not limit the scope of the embodiments of the present application.

According to the time frequency resource allocation method and the time frequency resource allocation device, the network equipment sends the time frequency resource set to the terminal equipment, the occupied time frequency resource is indicated to the terminal equipment based on the time frequency resource set, the indicated occupied time frequency resource is the actually occupied time frequency resource, and therefore the accuracy of indicating that the time frequency resource is occupied can be improved.
