Description

Control information transmission method and equipment

Technical Field

The present application relates to the field of mobile communications technologies, and in particular, to a method and an apparatus for transmitting control information.

Background

HARQ (Hybrid Automatic Repeat ReQuest) is a technology combining FEC (Feed-forward Error Correction) and ARQ (Automatic Repeat-ReQuest). By adopting the technology, the user terminal (UE) receives feedback Acknowledgement (ACK) or non-acknowledgement (NACK) information for the downlink service data PDSCH, so that the network equipment can determine whether to reschedule the downlink service data or to schedule new downlink service data for the user terminal. The ACK and NACK information is collectively referred to as hybrid automatic repeat request-acknowledgement (HARQ-ACK) information.

In a new air interface system, the configuration indexes u corresponding to the subcarriers of different cells can be different, the time slots included in 1 subframe are different corresponding to different configuration indexes mu; and the time duration of the time slots included in the corresponding different mu 1 subframes is also different. Mu of the PCell and the SCell in one cell group can be different, so when downlink service data uses the SCell and uplink feedback information uses the PCell, the time lengths of time slots occupied by the downlink service data and the uplink feedback information are also different.

The HARQ-ACK codebook is an information sequence of HARQ-ACK fed back on one PUCCH or PUSCH. Each bit corresponds to a Transport Block (TB), and each bit indicates whether the corresponding TB is correctly received. The NR system employs a semi-static HARQ-ACK codebook or a dynamic HARQ-ACK codebook.

When the semi-static HARQ-ACK codebook is adopted, the UE determines a time domain position set M of a PDSCH (physical downlink shared channel) corresponding to HARQ-ACK feedback in the same time slot on each cell c according to the HARQ-ACK feedback timing value K1, the semi-static time slot structure and PDSCH candidate time domain resource allocation information_A,C. Then according to M_A,CAnd mapping the HARQ-ACK released by the PDSCH and the SPS PDSCH received in the PDSCH position set to the corresponding position in the HARQ-ACK feedback sequence, thereby obtaining the HARQ-ACK codebook to be transmitted in the time slot n. Specifically, the UE determines, based on the HARQ-ACK feedback timing value configured by K1, the number of PDSCH time slots that need to perform HARQ-ACK feedback in the same time slot of the cell, and then determines the maximum number of PDSCHs that can be transmitted in each time slot that needs to be fed back. When carrier aggregation existsAnd then, determining the PDSCH of each carrier in the HARQ-ACK codebook according to the process, and finally cascading the HARQ-ACK information of each carrier into the HARQ-ACK codebook. For PDSCH time domain position set M_A,CWhere the PDSCH is not received, the corresponding information in the HARQ-ACK codebook is NACK.

When a dynamic HARQ-ACK codebook is employed, an HARQ-ACK codebook is generated based on the number of PDSCHs actually scheduled. And determining a PDCCH monitoring opportunity set according to the HARQ-ACK feedback timing value configured by K1 and the scheduling time sequence set of the PDSCH. And referring to 9.1 in 3GPP TS 38.213 V16.5.0, determining a PDSCH corresponding to each information of the HARQ-ACK codebook according to the C-DAI and the T-DAI in the PDCCH acquired on the PDCCH monitoring opportunity set.

By adopting the prior art, under the condition that the terminal equipment supports a plurality of uplink carriers (cells), the terminal equipment only sends PUCCH in an uplink Primary Cell (PCell, Primary Cell), so that load imbalance between the PCell and a Secondary Cell (SCell, Secondary Cell) is brought, in addition, the HARQ-ACK feedback time delay is limited by resource configuration on the PCell, and when the PCell does not meet the resource transmitted by the PUCCH, the HARQ-ACK feedback time delay causes poor service time delay characteristic. The cell which transmits the PUCCH is allowed to be switched between the PCell and each SCell, so that the problems of unbalanced load between the PCell and the SCell and poor HARQ-ACK feedback delay characteristics can be solved.

However, when the PUCCH is switched between uplink BWPs, the conventional HARQ-ACK codebook determination method cannot meet the HARQ-ACK feedback requirement for downlink data transmission, because after switching, according to the slot length and K1 configuration of a new cell or BWP, when feeding back PDSCH, the corresponding PDSCH set is likely to be inconsistent with the PDSCH set of HARQ-ACK information to be fed back before switching due to the difference between the slot length and K1 configuration of the cell or BWP before switching, and thus part of PDSCH of the HARQ-ACK information to be fed back in the original cell or BWP is likely to lose feedback.

Detailed Description

In order to make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the present application more apparent, the technical solutions of the present application will be described in detail and completely with reference to the following specific embodiments of the present application and the accompanying drawings. It should be apparent that the described embodiments are only some of the embodiments of the present application, and not all of the embodiments. All other embodiments, which can be derived by a person skilled in the art from the embodiments given herein without making any creative effort, shall fall within the protection scope of the present application.

According to the method, the determination mode of the HARQ-ACK codebook in the target PUCCH is designed, the HARQ-ACK feedback requirement of downlink data transmission when the PUCCH is switched between uplink BWPs is met, the load balance of the PUCCH is achieved, and the effect of improving the HARQ-ACK feedback delay performance is improved.

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

Fig. 1 is a schematic diagram of a timeslot structure of a new air interface system.

In the figure, a cell with μ ═ 0 includes 10 slots in one subframe, and each slot is 1ms in length; a cell with μ ═ 1 includes 20 slots in one subframe, each slot being 0.5ms in length. This is because, in the timeslot structure of the new air interface system, the sets of OFDM parameter configurations, such as the subcarrier spacing size and the cyclic prefix size, used by different cells may be different. As described in 4.2 of 3GPP TS 38.211 V16.5.0, the OFDM parameter configuration set is preset with a specific index μ, where μ -0 corresponds to a subcarrier spacing of 15KHz, and μ -1 corresponds to a subcarrier spacing of 30 KHz. In the new air interface system, the length of one radio frame is 10ms, and the radio frame includes 10 subframes, so that the number of time slots included in corresponding to different μ and 1 subframe is different, and the time lengths of the time slots included in corresponding to different μ and 1 subframe are also different.

In the present application, the time slots used by each carrier for transmitting PDSCH are collectively referred to as "time units", and the time duration of the time units used by different cells may be different or the same.

The timing difference between the PDSCH and its corresponding HARQ-ACK information is not fixed but flexibly indicated, which is referred to herein as a "parameter" of the feedback timing value.

For example, under the dynamic scheduling condition, the time difference between the HARQ-ACK feedback and the PDSCH is determined by the "PDSCH-to-HARQ-timing-indicator" field in the PDCCH corresponding to the PDSCH, or by the higher layer signaling "dl-DataToUL-ACK" (denoted as K1). If the K1 configures a plurality of values, a "PDSCH-to-HARQ-timing-indicator" field indicates one of the plurality of values configured by the K1; if K1 configures only one value, the PDCCH does not need to include a "PDSCH-to-HARQ-timing-indicator" field, and the time difference between HARQ-ACK feedback and PDSCH is the configured value of K1.

As another example, Semi-Persistent Scheduling (SPS) allows the resource of the PDSCH to be periodically allocated to a specific terminal device UE through one-time PDCCH Scheduling. And the UE receives the SPS configuration resources and activates the SPS configuration by acquiring the PDCCH sent by the network equipment. And if the UE receives that the network equipment releases the SPS configuration parameters through the PDCCH, stopping configuring corresponding resources in the SPS to receive data. The time difference between the SPS PDSCH and its corresponding HARQ-ACK feedback is also determined by the "PDSCH-to-HARQ-timing-indicator" field in the PDCCH activating SPS, or by higher layer signaling K1.

Therefore, whether in the dynamic scheduling condition or the semi-static scheduling condition, there may be 1 or more parameters of the feedback timing value, which may be referred to as "parameter set", for example, the first parameter set and the second parameter set in the present application. Furthermore, to address the need for the problem, a "subset of parameters" as defined in the present application is a subset of a particular "set of parameters", e.g., a first subset of parameters, a third subset of parameters is a subset of the first set of parameters, and a second subset of parameters is a subset of the second set of parameters.

In the prior art, the PUCCH of the terminal device is always transmitted in the PCell within the cell group. The time granularity of the HARQ-ACK timing relation indicated to the terminal equipment by the network equipment is subject to the time unit length of the Pcell. In the FDD system, the μ values of uplink and downlink carriers may also be different, and in the following, taking a time unit as a time slot length as an example, when feeding back downlink traffic, the determination method of the HARQ-ACK feedback time unit in the uplink carrier is as follows:

in fig. 2(a) - (b), it is assumed that the OFDM parameter set on the uplink PCell is configured as μ_ULThe length of a Slot is Slot_{μ_UL}(ii) a The OFDM parameter set of the SCell where the PDSCH is located is configured to be mu_DLThe length of a Slot is Slot_{μ_DL}. PDSCH is positioned in downlink time slot n_DHARQ-ACK feedback in uplink time slot n_U. Defining reference time slot n 'located on uplink PCell'_UEach reference slot n'_UAnd one (or a set of a minimum number of consecutive) downlink time slots n_DAre aligned with the end time of. The time difference between the PDSCH and the time unit of the corresponding HARQ-ACK meets a timing parameter K, and refers to an uplink reference time slot n 'corresponding to the PDSCH'_UAnd time slot n of HARQ-ACK_UThe time difference between is K slots_{μ_UL}。

Fig. 2(a) is a schematic diagram of a feedback timing with a long downlink time slot and a short uplink time slot.

If Slot is_{μ_UL}<Slot_{μ_DL}There is only one corresponding downlink transmission slot for X consecutive values of K1. Wherein the content of the first and second substances,

here, the uplink reference time slot n 'corresponding to the PDSCH'_UIs and a downlink time slot n_DThe last uplink slot that overlaps in time, that is, the end time of the uplink reference slot and at least one downlink slot of the PDSCH are the same.

Fig. 2(b) is a schematic diagram of feedback timing of a short downlink time slot and a long uplink time slot.

If Slot is_{μ_UL}>Slot_{μ_DL}Each value of K1 corresponds to X downlink transmission slots. n'_UIs and downlink time slot n_DUplink time slots overlapped in time, here, uplink reference time slot n 'corresponding to PDSCH'_UIs summed with a set of minimum number X of consecutive downlink time slots n_DOne uplink slot overlapping in time, that is, at least one downlink slot containing a PDSCH in the period of the uplink reference slot. In fig. 2(b), X is 2.

Fig. 3 is a flowchart of an embodiment of a method for transmitting control information according to the present application.

The embodiment of the present application provides a method for transmitting control information, which is used in a BWP set condition, where the BWP set is composed of multiple BWPs supporting PUCCH transmission, and in the following embodiment, the BWP set includes a first BWP and a second BWP; the duration of the time unit of the first BWP is a first duration, the feedback timing value is a first parameter set, the duration of the time unit on the second BWP is a second duration, and the feedback timing value is a second parameter set. The method comprises the following steps:

step 101, determining a first target time unit located in a first BWP and a second target time unit located in a second BWP, where the first target time unit and the second target time unit overlap, and a target PUCCH for sending feedback information is located in the second target time unit.

Preferably, step 101 is initiated by using indication information, wherein the indication information is semi-static indication information or dynamic indication information.

The first method is as follows: and indicating the uplink cell/BWP to which the corresponding HARQ-ACK is transmitted in the PDCCH for scheduling the PDSCH. An independent PUCCH resource may be configured for each uplink Bandwidth Part (BWP) of each cell, where the PUCCH resource configuration includes a time difference alternative K1 between the time position of the PDSCH and its corresponding HARQ-ACK feedback time position, and K1 is based on μ of each BWP. And determining the time unit of the target PUCCH according to the K1 configuration of the uplink cell/BWP indicated by the PDCCH and the position of the PDSCH.

The second method comprises the following steps: the relationship between the cell and time position for PUCCH transmission is semi-statically preset, for example, PUCCH is transmitted with PCell in a first time interval and PUCCH is transmitted with SCell in a second time interval, … …. A reference UL BWP is preset and the time difference between the time units of PDSCH and HARQ-ACK is determined with the PUCCH configured time difference option K1 on this BWP. And the PUCCH where the HARQ-ACK feedback determined according to the time difference is located is the nominal PUCCH. And after the nominal PUCCH is determined to be positioned in the reference time unit, determining the BWP of the PUCCH actually transmitted after switching as the target PUCCH according to the relation among the time of the nominal PUCCH, the semi-statically preset PUCCH transmitting cell and the time position.

For example, the cell and time position of transmitting the PUCCH are semi-statically preset, including that the cell transmitting the PUCCH is located at the second target time unit of the second BWP at the time position of the first target time unit.

For another example, the cell and time position for transmitting the PUCCH by dynamic scheduling are located in the second target time unit of the second BWP.

That is, in any embodiment of the first aspect of the present application, the target PUCCH is indicated to be located in the second target time unit by using dynamic indication information, or the target PUCCH is indicated to be located in the second target time unit by using semi-static indication information.

Step 102, determining a first data set and a second data set.

The first set of parameters is not equal to the second set of parameters, and/or the first duration is not equal to the second duration,

the time difference between each first reference time unit of the first data set and the first target time unit is respectively equal to the product of each parameter of the first parameter subset in the first parameter set and the first duration;

the first data set and the second data set do not overlap;

the second reference time unit is a time unit of a second BWP, an end time of each second reference time unit is the same as at least one time unit of the second data set, or a period of each second reference time unit contains at least one time unit of the first data set

Here, the "reference time unit", such as the reference time slot shown in fig. 2, is a reference time unit defined in any carrier/BWP, and is used to determine whether the distance between the reference time unit and the target time unit in the carrier/BWP conforms to the feedback timing value in the carrier/BWP. For example, the reference time unit defined within the ith carrier/BWP is the ith reference time unit. Each ith reference time unit is aligned with the end time of one or a group of jth carrier/BWP time units. When the duration of the time unit in the jth carrier/BWP is greater than the time unit in the ith carrier/BWP, an ith reference time unit is the last jth carrier/BWP time unit that overlaps with the jth carrier/BWP time unit in time, i.e., the ith reference time unit is the same as the end time of the time unit in at least one jth carrier/BWP. When the duration of the jth time cell is less than the ith time cell, the ith reference time cell corresponding to the jth carrier/BWP time cell is an ith carrier/BWP time cell that is time-aligned with a minimum number of consecutive time cells of the jth carrier/BWP, i.e., the interval of the ith reference time cell contains at least one jth carrier/BWP time cell.

When the scheme of the application is used for HARQ-ACK feedback of downlink traffic data by the terminal device, further preferably, the first data set and the second data set include downlink traffic data, which are PDSCHs located in each time unit.

Preferably, at least one of the first data set and the second data set is a semi-statically scheduled PDSCH set. Preferably, the first parameter subset is a parameter indicated by first downlink control information, the first downlink control information is used for activating semi-persistent scheduling data, and the first downlink control information indicates that feedback of the semi-persistent scheduling data is located in the first target time unit. The first data set is a semi-statically scheduled PDSCH set, which is only an example, and does not exclude other situations of dynamic scheduling or semi-static scheduling combination, for example, the second data set is a dynamically scheduled PDSCH set or a semi-statically scheduled PDSCH set.

Preferably, at least one of the first data set and the second data set is a dynamically scheduled PDSCH set. The first data set is a dynamically scheduled PDSCH set, which is only an example, and does not exclude other situations of dynamic scheduling or semi-static scheduling combination, and for example, the second data set is a dynamically scheduled PDSCH set or a semi-static scheduled PDSCH set.

It should be noted that the relationship between the first data set and the second data set and the first BWP and the second BWP is not limited here. For example, it may be: at least a portion of the first data set is at the first BWP and/or at least a portion is at the second BWP. At least a portion of the second data set is at the first BWP and/or at least a portion is at the second BWP. Since the first data set or the second data set is defined by the respective positions of the reference time units, when the first data set is distributed over a plurality of BWPs, the time units of the data subsets of the plurality of BWPs overlap, as do the second data set.

Therefore, it can be said that the first data set is downlink data in a time unit overlapping with the first reference time unit in all (or at least one) BWPs including the first BWP in the BWP set; the second data set is the downlink data in the time unit overlapping with the second reference time unit in all (or at least one) BWPs including the second BWP in the BWP set. A relationship between the first reference time unit and the first target time unit satisfies a first set of parameters; the relationship between the second reference time unit and the second target time unit satisfies the second set of parameters.

And 103, determining a subset of the second data set, namely a third data set and/or a fourth data set.

And the time difference between each second reference time unit of the third data set and the second target time unit is equal to the product of each parameter of the second parameter subset in the second parameter set and the duration of the second time unit in sequence. Note that the second subset of parameters is defined here, either as a proper subset of the second set of parameters, or as the second set of parameters itself.

The time difference between each first reference time unit of the fourth data set and the first target time unit is respectively equal to the product of each parameter of the third parameter subset in the first parameter set and the first duration.

The first set of parameters includes the first subset of parameters and the third subset of parameters. Note that a third subset of parameters is defined here, which may be the complement of the first subset of parameters in the first set of parameters.

When the first parameter subset and the third parameter subset are disjoint, the third data set and the fourth data set are both subsets of the second data set. It should be noted that, as can be understood by those skilled in the art, there exists a fifth data set, and the time difference between each first reference time unit and the first target time unit in the fourth data set is respectively equal to the product of each parameter in the first parameter set and the first time duration.

When the first parameter subset and the third parameter subset are disjoint, the time unit of the first data set and the time unit of the fourth data set are subsets of the time unit of the fifth data set.

It should be noted that, in step 103, the range of the fed-back data can be further defined by setting the second parameter subset and/or the third parameter subset.

And 104, determining the content of the feedback information transmitted by the second target time unit.

The feedback information includes feedback on the first data set in the first BWP, and further may include feedback on the third data set and the fourth data set.

When the feedback information uses the HARQ-ACK codebook, a semi-static HARQ-ACK codebook or a dynamic HARQ-ACK codebook may be used. When the semi-static HARQ-ACK codebook is used, the HARQ-ACK information of each carrier is cascaded into the HARQ-ACK codebook, and for the time unit of the fed-back data set, which does not receive the PDSCH, the corresponding information in the HARQ-ACK codebook is NACK. And when the dynamic HARQ-ACK codebook is used, the HARQ-ACH codebook is generated based on the number of actually scheduled PDSCHs. Further, the HARQ-ACK feedback information of the SPS PDSCH is attached to the dynamic HARQ-ACK information generated based on the C-DAI and the T-DAI to form a dynamic HARQ-ACK codebook.

Preferably, the first data set is a data set determined according to second downlink control information, the second downlink control information comprises a counting downlink allocation indication (C-DA1) and/or a total downlink allocation indication (T-DAI), and the second downlink control information indicates that the feedback of the scheduled data is located in the first target time unit.

Preferably, the second downlink control information and the third downlink control information count downlink allocation indications and/or total downlink allocation indications in a joint count mode. In step 104, the ranges of the first data set and the fourth data set can be further determined by the second downlink control information and the third downlink control information. That is, in each time unit of the first data set or the fourth data set, when there is no PDSCH transmitted in some time units, the indication may be performed through the second downlink control information and the third downlink control information.

Therefore, a first data set actually containing the PDSCH can be determined by the second downlink control information, or, as can be understood by those skilled in the art, when the first data set is determined by the first parameter subset, further, in combination with the second downlink control information, an xth data set actually containing the PDSCH can be further determined. A third data set actually containing PDSCH can be determined by the third downlink control information, or, as will be understood by those skilled in the art, when the third data set is determined by the second parameter subset, a y data set actually containing PDSCH can be further determined by combining the third downlink control information.

And 105, generating and transmitting the HARQ-ACK codebook of the feedback information.

Feedback information is contained in a target PUCCH located in a second target time unit of a second BWP.

The feedback information comprises feedback on a first set of data;

further, the feedback information further comprises feedback of a third set of data, and/or the feedback information comprises feedback of a fourth set of data.

As an alternative embodiment in step 105, the PDCCH for scheduling the PDSCH includes an indication of the BWP where the target PUCCH is located, and the "target PUCCH" carrying the feedback information is located in a second target time unit of a second BWP (e.g., located in the target cell, BWP); if not, the "nominal PUCCH" located in the first target time unit of the first BWP corresponding to the second target time unit location should carry feedback of the SPS PDSCH in the fifth data set, and the time unit where the nominal PUCCH is located and the time unit where the target PUCCH is located overlap in time. At this time, if the semi-static HARQ-ACK codebook scheme is used, the SPS PDSCH in the first data set corresponding to the nominal PUCCH of the other uplink cell/BWP is added to the PDSCH set corresponding to the semi-static HARQ-ACK codebook in the target PUCCH. As shown in FIG. 4, HARQ-ACK feedback information of PDSCH of the time slot in which the SPS0 is located in BWP1 is included in the HARQ-ACK codebook transmitted by the target PUCCH of the time slot n.

At this time, if the dynamic HARQ-ACK codebook scheme is used, the HARQ-ACK codebook in the target PUCCH should also include the time domain bits of the PDSCH corresponding to the semi-static HARQ-ACK codebook in all the nominal PUCCHs.

As another alternative embodiment in step 105, the target PUCCH for semi-static PUCCH transmission is located in the reference uplink carrier UL BWP. The "target PUCCH" actually carrying the feedback information is located in a second target time unit of a second BWP (e.g., target cell, BWP); if not, the "nominal PUCCH" located in the first target time unit of the first BWP corresponding to the second target time unit location should carry feedback of PDSCH in the fifth data set. If the semi-static HARQ-ACK codebook mode is used, the time domain position set of the PDSCH corresponding to the semi-static HARQ-ACK codebook in the target PUCCH is determined by the time domain positions of the PDSCH corresponding to all the nominal PUCCH semi-static HARQ-ACK codebooks. That is, feedback for the PDSCH of the first set of data in the nominal PUCCH is to be included. For example, in fig. 5, the HARQ-ACK codebook transmitted in the target PUCCH of slot n includes HARQ-ACK feedback information of the PDSCH of the slot where D is located in BWP 1.

It should be further noted that, in any embodiment of the first aspect of the present application, the feedback information may also be sent in a PUSCH time-overlapped with the target PUCCH on the second BWP.

The meaning of the first to second BWPs, the first to second target time units, the first to second reference time units, the first to second parameter sets, the first to third parameter subsets, and the first to fifth data sets are further described below with reference to the embodiments of fig. 4 to 5.

Fig. 4 is a diagram of an embodiment in which a target PUCCH retains first BWP semi-persistent scheduling PDSCH feedback when BWP supporting transmission of the PUCCH includes a plurality of BWPs.

When the network device activates SPS configuration, a certain uplink cell/BWP is used as a feedback cell/BWP (e.g., BWP1) of HARQ-ACK corresponding to the SPS PDSCH. The "PDSCH-to-HARQ-timing-indicator" field in the PDCCH activating the SPS configuration indicates the time difference between the SPS PDSCH and the "nominal PUCCH" in the slot m (i.e., the first time unit of the first BWP). However, since the PUCCH is switched to other BWPs, it is possible that the "target PUCCH" actually transmitted within the time of slot m of the "nominal PUCCH" is located in slot n of BWP2 (i.e., the second target time unit of the second BWP). According to the method for determining the semi-static HARQ-ACK codebook in the prior art, if the index numbers μ of the OFDM parameter configuration sets of BWP1 and BWP2 are different and/or the timing parameter sets of the PUCCH configured on BWP1 and BWP2 are different, HARQ-ACK information of the partial SPS PDSCH may not be fed back on the PUCCH located in the second target time unit, which may eventually cause the HARQ-ACK transmission of the SPS PDSCH to fail, thereby affecting the performance of HARQ transmission and the system efficiency.

Taking the difference of index μ between the OFDM parameter configuration sets of BWP1 and BWP2 as an example: suppose UL Cell-1 currently activates BWP1, OFDM parameter configuration set index number mu of BWP1 _BWP11, K1 in PUCCH configuration on

BWP1

_BWP12,3,4, 5. UL Cell-2 currently activates OFDM parameters for BWP2, BWP2Number configuration set index number μ _BWP20. K1 in PUCCH configuration on

WP2

_BWP22,3,4, 5. If the SPS enabled PDCCH indicates that SPS PDSCH and HARQ-ACK feedback are located at BWP1, and the time unit time difference of SPS PDSCH and HARQ-ACK is 2, then the HARQ-ACK corresponding to SPS0 PDSCH is located at slot m of BWP1 in FIG. 4. However, at slot m time, the PUCCH is located at slot n of BWP 2. According to the prior art, the PDSCH time domain position set corresponding to the semi-static HARQ-ACK codebook on slot n of BWP2 includes PDSCH of slot a to slot H in BWP1, PDSCH of slot I to slot L in BWP2, but does not include PDSCH of slot where SPS0 is located in BWP 1. Thus, the requirement for HARQ-ACK feedback corresponding to SPS PDSCH cannot be met.

To this end, according to an embodiment of the first aspect of the present application, the first BWP is defined as BWP1, and the second BWP is defined as BWP 2; the first target time unit is a time slot m, and the second target time unit is a time slot n; defining a first set of data comprising a PDSCH located in time unit SPS 0; a fifth data set comprising PDSCH at time element F, G, H, SPS 0; a second data set comprising PDSCH located at time unit A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, J, K, L; the third data set and the fourth data set are subsets of the second data set, and the time unit of the fourth data set is a subset of the time unit of the fifth data set; the first reference time cell is defined at BWP1, and the second reference time cell is defined at BWP 2; the first reference time unit of the first set of data is SPS 0; the second reference time unit of the second data set is I, J, K, L, the second reference time unit of the third data set is a subset of I, J, K, L, and the first reference time unit of the fourth data set is a subset of F, G, H. Wherein BWP2 time unit I overlaps in time with a set of BWP1 time units A, B, BWP2 time unit J overlaps in time with a set of BWP1 time units C, D, BWP2 time unit K overlaps in time with a set of BWP1 time units E, F, and BWP2 time unit L overlaps in time with a set of BWP1 time units G, H. The first set of constants is K1_BWP1The second parameter set is K1, 5, 4, 3, 2_BWP2＝{5，4，3，2}。

According to the method of the step 102-103, the positions of the first data set, the second data set, the third data set, the fourth data set and the fifth data set are determined. The positions between the time units of the first data set, the second data set, the third data set, the fourth data set and the fifth data set and the first target time unit and the second target time unit satisfy the following characteristics:

each first reference time unit F, G, H, SPS0 of the fifth data set, in turn, has a time difference with the first target time unit slot m equal to a product of each parameter {5, 4, 3, 2} of the first parameter set, in turn, with the first time duration; since the fifth data set is only at BWP1, the time unit of the fifth data set is F, G, H, SPS 0.

Each second reference time unit I, J, K, L of the second data set, in turn, has a time difference with the second target time unit slot n equal to a product of each parameter {5, 4, 3, 2} of the second parameter set, in turn, with a second duration; each time cell of the second data set contains A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, J, K, L.

The time difference between the first reference time unit SPS0 of the first data set and the first target time unit slot m is equal to the product of the parameter {2} of the first subset of parameters in the first set of parameters and the first time length. The time unit of the first set of data is SPS 0.

In the target PUCCH of slot n, feedback on the first data set and the third data set is included.

It should be noted that the third data set is a subset of the second data set. The range of the third set of data can be determined when the time unit of the third set of data is indicated by downlink control signaling containing a second subset of parameters. For example, the second subset of parameters is {2,3}, the second reference time unit of the third data set is K, L, and the time unit of the third data set comprises E, F, G, H, K, L.

It should also be noted that the first data set is a subset of the fifth data set. When the first data set is indicated by downlink control signaling containing the first parameter subset, or according to the time position relationship between the fifth data set and the second data set, the time unit range of the first data set which is not coincident with the second data set can be determined to be SPS 0.

There is an intersection F, G, H between the time units of the second and fifth data sets, so HARQ-ACK feedback for PDSCH of time unit F, G, H only needs to occur 1 time in the second target time unit. When the third subset of parameters is defined as {3,4,5}, then the respective first reference time unit of the fourth data set is F, G, H, which is also F, G, H.

In this embodiment, it is assumed that the fifth data set is for SPS PDSCH indicated by PDCCH activating SPS, and switching of PUCCH from BWP1 to BWP2 is achieved by dynamic signaling, so the first data set that does not overlap with the time unit of the second data set is SPS PDSCH, and the fourth data set that overlaps with the time unit of the second data set is changed to dynamic PDSCH.

When the feedback information uses a semi-static HARQ-ACK codebook, the HARQ-ACK codebook should be generated by concatenating the feedback of the first data set and the feedback of the third data set according to BWP1 and BWP 2. It should be further noted that, when the third data set is indicated by the downlink control signaling containing the dynamic codebook indication, the format and the content of the codebook in the target PUCCH can be further determined.

In the present embodiment, when supporting PUCCH switching between BWPs, HARQ-ACK feedback of PDSCH in time unit SPS0 is guaranteed.

Fig. 5 is a diagram illustrating an embodiment of reserving first BWP dynamic PDSCH scheduling feedback when BWP supporting PUCCH transmission includes a plurality of BWPs.

When the relation between the cell for sending the PUCCH and the time position is preset semi-statically, the time domain position set of the PDSCH of the HARQ-ACK codebook on the "target PUCCH" determined according to the prior art may not include the time domain position of the PDSCH corresponding to the HARQ-ACK codebook in the partial "nominal PUCCH". Suppose UL Cell-1 currently activates BWP1, OFDM parameter configuration set index number mu of BWP1 _BWP11, K1 in PUCCH configuration on

BWP1

_BWP12,3,4,5, UL Cell-2 currently activates BWP2,index number of OFDM parameter configuration set of BWP2 is mu _BWP20, K1 in PUCCH configuration on

BWP2

_BWP22,3,4, 5. If the time difference between the PUCCH time difference alternative K1 of BWP1, the time difference between the slots of PDSCH and HARQ-ACK, and the OFDM parameter configuration set index number mu of BWP1₁The corresponding slot length determines slot m for "nominal PUCCH" at BWP1, and the set of PDSCH time domain locations corresponding to the HARQ-ACK codebook on "nominal PUCCH" includes PDSCH in slot A, B, C, D in BWP1 and slot L, M in BWP 2. And determining the time slot n of the target PUCCH at BWP2 according to the preset relation between the cell for transmitting the PUCCH and the time position. Configuring set index number mu with OFDM parameter of BWP2 for target PUCCH of BWP2 slot n₂The corresponding slot length determination HARQ-ACK codebook includes PDSCH of slot A, B, C, E, F, G, H, I in BWP1, PDSCH of slot J, K, L, M in BWP 2. Since the HARQ-ACK codebook of the target PUCCH does not include the PDSCH of slot D in BWP1, HARQ-ACK cannot be fed back to the PDSCH scheduled by slot D in BWP1, which causes data scheduling limitation and affects system efficiency.

To this end, according to an embodiment of the first aspect of the present application, the first BWP is defined as BWP1, and the second BWP is defined as BWP 2; the first target time unit is a time slot m, and the second target time unit is a time slot n; defining a first set of data comprising PDSCH at time unit D and a fifth set of data comprising PDSCH at time unit A, B, C, D; a second data set comprising PDSCH located at time unit J, K, L, M, E, F, G, H, I, A, B, C; the third data set and the fourth data set are subsets of the second data set, and the time unit of the fourth data set is a subset of the time unit of the fifth data set; the first reference time cell is defined at BWP1, and the second reference time cell is defined at BWP 2; the first reference time unit of the first data set is D; the second reference time unit of the second data set is J, K, L, M; a second reference time unit of the third data set, which is a subset of J, K, L, M; the time unit of the fifth data set, determined according to the first parameter set and the first target time unit, is A, B, C, D; the first reference time unit of the fifth data set is A, B, C, and further, the fifth data set is determinedThe aggregate time cell also contains L, M. The first reference time unit of the fourth data set is a subset of A, B, C. BWP2 time units J are time-overlapped by a set of BWP1 time units E, F, BWP2 time units K are time-overlapped by a set of BWP1 time units G, H, BWP2 time units L are time-overlapped by a set of BWP1 time units I, A, and BWP2 time units M are time-overlapped by a set of BWP1 time units B, C. The first set of timing parameters is K1_BWP1The second timing parameter set is K1, 5, 4, 3, 2_BWP2＝{5，4，3，2}。

each first reference time unit A, B, C, D of the fifth data set sequentially having a time difference with the first target time unit slot m equal to a product of each parameter {5, 4, 3, 2} of the first timing parameter set sequentially having a first duration, wherein, in particular, the ending time of time unit D does not coincide with the ending time of time unit of BWP2, so time unit D, although satisfying data 2 of the first parameter set, cannot be the first reference time unit of data on BWP2, therefore A, B, C further determines that the time unit of the fifth data set further includes L, M;

each second reference time unit J, K, L, M of the second data set, in turn, has a time difference with the second target time unit slot n equal to a product of each parameter {5, 4, 3, 2} of a second set of timing parameters, in turn, with a second duration; each time cell of the second data set contains A, B, C, E, F, G, H, I, J, K, L, M.

A time difference between a first reference time unit D of the first data set and the first target time unit slot m is equal to a first parameter subset {2} of a first parameter set multiplied by a first duration; time unit D is the time unit of the first data set.

It should be noted that the third data set is a subset of the second data set. The range of the third set of data can be determined when the time unit of the third set of data is indicated by downlink control signaling containing a second subset of parameters. For example, the second subset of parameters is {2,3}, the second reference time unit of the third data set is M, L, and the time unit of the third data set comprises I, A, B, C, L, M.

It should also be noted that the first data set is a subset of the fifth data set. When the first data set is indicated by the downlink control signaling containing the first parameter subset, or according to the time position relationship between the fifth data set and the second data set, it can be determined that the time unit range of the first data set which is not coincident with the second data set is D.

There is an intersection A, B, C of the time units of the second and fifth data sets, so HARQ-ACK feedback for PDSCH in time unit A, B, C only needs to occur 1 time in the second target time unit. When the third subset of parameters is defined as {3,4,5}, then the respective first reference time unit of the fourth data set is A, B, C, which is also A, B, C.

In this embodiment, it is assumed that the fifth data set is of a PDSCH indicated by a dynamic PDCCH, and the PUCCH is determined to be located in the second BWP by semi-static signaling, so that the first data set that does not overlap with a time unit of the second data set and the fourth data set that overlaps with a time unit of the second data set are both dynamic PDSCHs.

In this embodiment, PUCCH also implements HARQ-ACK feedback of PDSCH in time unit D after BWP handover.

In this embodiment, if the relation between the cell transmitting PUCCH and the time position is semi-statically preset, a reference UL BWP is preset, and the time difference between the time units of PDSCH and HARQ-ACK is determined with the time difference option K1 of PUCCH configuration on this BWP. And the PUCCH where the HARQ-ACK feedback determined according to the time difference is located is the nominal PUCCH. And after the nominal PUCCH is determined to be positioned in the reference time unit, determining the BWP of the PUCCH actually transmitted after switching as the target PUCCH according to the relation among the time of the nominal PUCCH, the semi-statically preset PUCCH transmitting cell and the time position. The data set corresponding to the feedback information in the "target PUCCH" is determined by the parameter set and the time unit length configured on the BWP where the "nominal PUCCH" is located, but not by the parameter set and the time unit length configured on the BWP where the "target PUCCH" is located, so that the HARQ-ACK feedback information corresponding to downlink data transmission can be guaranteed to be included in the "target PUCCH". For example, in the example shown in fig. 5, the HARQ-ACK codebook in the "target PUCCH" is determined by the feedback of the first data set and the fifth data set.

Fig. 6 is a flowchart of an embodiment of the method of the present invention applied to a terminal device.

The method of the first aspect of the application is used for terminal equipment and comprises the following steps 201-204:

step 201, the terminal device obtains indication information for indicating that the feedback information is sent on the target PUCCH;

for example, switching a time unit transmitting feedback information from a first target time unit located at a first BWP to a second target time unit located at a second BWP;

alternatively, the time unit indicating the transmission of the feedback information is a second target time unit of the second BWP.

Step 202, the terminal device receives a downlink control signaling, which includes an indication of a feedback timing value and/or an indication of a codebook type.

The terminal equipment receives an indication for activating the first parameter set and the second parameter set through a downlink control signaling;

further, the downlink control signaling received by the terminal device includes first downlink control information for identifying a first parameter subset, a second parameter subset, and a third parameter subset;

further, the downlink control signaling received by the terminal device further includes second downlink control information and/or third downlink control information, and is used to instruct to generate a dynamic HARQ-ACK codebook for the first data set and/or the third data set.

Step 203, the terminal device determines the content and the position of the first data set and the second data set;

the definitions and interrelations of the first parameter set, the second parameter set, the first duration, the second duration, the first target time unit, the second target time unit, the first reference time unit, the second reference time unit, the first data set and the second data set are shown in steps 101-105, and are not repeated herein.

The terminal equipment determines a second data set according to the second parameter set, the second duration and the position of a second target time unit; and determining the first data set according to the first parameter set, the first duration, the position of the first target time unit and the position of the second data set.

For example, if the nominal PUCCH is located in the first target time unit and the target PUCCH is located in the second target time unit, then:

determining a nominal PUCCH, wherein the nominal PUCCH is located at a first BWP, and the time unit length of the first BWP is S₁The set of PUCCH timing feedback parameters configured by the first BWP is a first parameter set; determining a target PUCCH, wherein the target PUCCH is located at a second BWP, and the time unit length of the second BWP is S₂The set of PUCCH timing feedback parameters configured by the second BWP is a second parameter set; wherein S₁≠S₂And/or the first timing parameter set is not equal to the second timing parameter set; the time units of the nominal PUCCH and the target PUCCH overlap in time;

on the first BWP, the time difference between HARQ-ACK in the nominal PUCCH and the corresponding PDSCH is S₁And a first parameter set determination. On the second BWP, the time difference between the HARQ-ACK in the target PUCCH and the corresponding PDSCH is S₂And a second set of parameters. The method for determining the target PUCCH and the nominal PUCCH by the UE comprises any one of the following two ways:

the first method is as follows:

the PDCCH that schedules the PDSCH indicates which uplink cell/BWP the corresponding HARQ-ACK is transmitted in, for example, the second BWP is specified. And configuring independent PUCCH resources for the UE aiming at each BWP, wherein each PUCCH time difference alternative set takes the time unit corresponding to each mu as granularity. And determining the time unit of the target PUCCH according to the timing parameter indication of the PDCCH, the PUCCH timing difference set of the second BWP, namely the second parameter set, the time unit length of the second BWP and the position of the PDSCH.

The time units of the nominal PUCCH and the target PUCCH are overlapped in time and are positioned at the first BWP, and the PUCCH timing difference set configured at the first BWP is a first parameter set.

The second method comprises the following steps:

the relationship between the cell and time position for PUCCH transmission is semi-statically preset, for example, PUCCH is transmitted with PCell in a first time interval and PUCCH is transmitted with SCell in a second time interval, … …. A reference UL BWP is preset and is marked as a first BWP. The time unit of the nominal PUCCH is determined according to the timing difference indication of the PDCCH, the PUCCH time difference alternate set (first parameter set) of the first BWP, the time unit length of the first BWP, and the location of the PDSCH. And determining the target PUCCH according to the time of the nominal PUCCH, the semi-statically preset PUCCH transmitting cell and the relation between the time positions.

According to the embodiment shown in fig. 4, the SPS activation procedure indicates that HARQ-ACK corresponding to SPS transmission is located in the first BWP. The SPS transmission includes any of the SPS PDSCH and the PDCCH for releasing SPS. According to the prior art, the first set of parameters represents alternatives to the time difference between the time position of the SPS PDSCH and its corresponding HARQ-ACK feedback time position, the time unit of these alternatives being S₁. SPS activation indication (SPS) transmissionThe time difference between the input and HARQ-ACK feedback times is which of the alternatives. In the target HARQ-ACK codebook on the second BWP, the PDSCH set to be fed back on the downlink BWP corresponding to the first BWP is a second parameter set and S₂And the time unit of the target PUCCH. In a nominal PUCCH on a first BWP, a PDSCH set to be fed back on a downlink BWP corresponding to the first BWP is a first parameter set and S₁And the time unit in which the nominal PUCCH is located. Thus, S₁≠S₂And/or the first and second sets of parameters are not the same, it may be possible that the target HARQ-ACK codebook does not include a portion of the PDSCH that the nominal HARQ-ACK codebook should feed back.

According to the embodiment shown in FIG. 5, according to the second set of parameters, S₂The PDSCH to be fed back determined by the time unit of the target PUCCH may not comprise the parameter S according to the first parameter set₁And the PDSCH to be fed back is determined by the time unit of the nominal PUCCH.

Step 204, the terminal device generates and sends a target HARQ-ACK codebook, which includes feedback for the first data set.

And sending the target HARQ-ACK codebook, wherein the target HARQ-ACK codebook comprises feedback of the first data set.

Further, the target HARQ-ACK codebook further includes feedback for at least one of the second data set, the third data set, and the fourth data set.

For example, the terminal sends the target PUCCH and discards the nominal PUCCH, so that switching of a PUCCH channel between uplink BWPs is achieved, HARQ-ACK feedback requirements of each downlink BWP data transmission are met, load balancing between a PCell and an SCell is achieved, and HARQ-ACK feedback delay characteristics are improved.

The target PUCCH includes a target HARQ-ACK codebook including HARQ-ACK information of a first PDSCH set composed of PDSCHs having a time difference with a nominal PUCCH satisfying a first parameter subset, the first parameter subset being a subset of the first parameter set.

The target HARQ-ACK codebook in the target PUCCH comprises HARQ-ACK information on the nominal PUCCH, the requirement that the PUCCH is switched from the nominal PUCCH to the target PUCCH can be met, and HARQ feedback is prevented from being restricted by switching of the PUCCH between BWPs. The target HARQ-ACK codebook includes HARQ-ACK information for a nominal PUCCH including the following steps 204-1 and or 204-2:

step 204-1, the time difference between the first PDSCH set and the nominal PUCCH is represented by S₁And a first subset of timing parameters, the first set of PDSCH being for SPS transmissions.

Using a 204-1 scheme, corresponding to a nominal PUCCH, with a first set of parameters, S₁And a first set of PDSCH determined by a first subset of parameters indicated in the SPS activation process, the feedback information being included in the target HARQ-ACK codebook.

And if the target HARQ-ACK codebook adopts a semi-static HARQ-ACK codebook, the HARQ-ACK information of the PDSCH to be fed back in each downlink BWP is sequentially arranged in the HARQ-ACK codebook. The PDSCH to be fed back for the downlink BWP corresponding to the first BWP includes two types: one is with the second set of timing parameters, S₂And a second PDSCH set determined by the time unit of the target PUCCH, and the other one is a first parameter subset and S₁And a first set of PDSCH determined by the time unit of the nominal PUCCH. Optionally, HARQ-ACK information of the PDSCH to be fed back of the downlink BWP corresponding to the first BWP is sorted in the target HARQ-ACK codebook according to the time sequence of the PDSCH. Or optionally, in the target HARQ-ACK, the second parameter set, S₂And the HARQ-ACK information of the second PDSCH set determined by the time unit of the target PUCCH is arranged in a first parameter subset S₁And the first PDSCH set determined by the time unit of the nominal PUCCH. That is, the feedback for the first data set and the feedback for the third data set occupy different information identification areas in the target feedback information; or the feedback aiming at the first data set and the feedback aiming at the fourth data set occupy different information identification areas in the target feedback information.

And if the target HARQ-ACK codebook adopts a dynamic HARQ-ACK codebook, acquiring C-DAI and T-DAI in the PDCCH according to the PDCCH monitoring opportunity set, and determining the PDSCH corresponding to each information of the HARQ-ACK codebook. On this basis, HARQ-appending a first subset of parameters, S, in an ACK codebook₁And determining the HARQ-ACK information of the first PDSCH set according to the time unit of the nominal PUCCH. The C-DAI and T-DAI in the PDCCH corresponding to the data set of the additional HARQ-ACK information and the C-DAI and T-DAI in the PDCCH corresponding to the data set of the previous HARQ-ACK information are uniformly counted jointly.

Optionally, the target PUCCH further includes temporary uplink control information, where the temporary uplink control information is located in a nominal PUCCH, and the temporary uplink control information is located at a time position of the first BWP by S₁And (4) determining. If the nominal PUCCH also comprises CSI, SR and other uplink control information, the nominal PUCCH is discarded while the uplink control information can be carried in the target PUCCH, the uplink control information configured by the network equipment is located in the first BWP, and the transmission period or transmission time of the uplink control information is within the time unit length S of the first BWP₁And (4) determining. According to the prior art, the second BWP has no resource configured for transmitting the uplink control information, and discarding the nominal PUCCH means discarding the uplink control information. The information is carried in the target PUCCH, so that the transmission efficiency of the control information can be improved, and the system performance is improved.

Step 204-2, the time difference between the first PDSCH set and the nominal PUCCH is represented by S₁And first timing parameter subset determination

In the embodiment shown in FIG. 5, according to the second parameter set, S₂The PDSCH to be fed back and determined by the time unit of the target PUCCH may not comprise the parameter S according to the first parameter subset₁And a first set of PDSCH determined by the time unit of the nominal PUCCH. When the scheme of step 304-2 is adopted and the target HARQ-ACK codebook is determined, the second parameter set and the S are not used₂And a spare PDSCH determined by a time unit of the target PUCCH, and using a first parameter set, S₁And the PDSCH to be fed back is determined by the time unit of the nominal PUCCH.

It should be noted that, in the present application, if multiple nominal PUCCHs and target PUCCHs overlap in time, the relationship between the HARQ-ACK codebook in the target PUCCH and the HARQ-ACK information on each nominal PUCCH satisfies the embodiments described in the present application. If the multiple channels and the nominal PUCCH are overlapped in time, the relation between the HARQ-ACK codebook and the HARQ-ACK information on the nominal PUCCH can meet the implementation mode of the application when any one of the multiple channels is taken as the target PUCCH.
