In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the information processing method of the embodiments of the present application, the following description is made.

(1) COT indication methods of Licensed Assisted Access (LAA), enhanced LAA (eLAA), or further eLAA (furtherela, FeLAA).

A user of LAA, eLAA, or FeLAA monitors Downlink Control Information (DCI) format 1C scrambled by Common Control Radio Network Temporary identifier (CC-RNTI) in a Control time region of each subframe to acquire COT related Information.

The Subframe configuration (Subframe configuration) of the LAA field of the DCI format 1C may indicate the downlink symbol occupation of the current Subframe or the next Subframe. The indication may be used to implement a function in which the COT end subframe is a Partial subframe. Meanwhile, if no DCI format 1C is detected in the subframe n-1, and the number of DCI display current DL symbols detected in the subframe n is less than 14, the user monitors PDCCH or ePDCCH only in the subframe.

The uplink time offset and length (UL duration and offset) field of the DCI format 1C may indicate which subframes are uplink transmissions in the COT time. On these subframes, the user does not need to monitor any downlink signals.

The base station can indicate the uplink subframe dynamically scheduled in the COT through the domain, and can update the channel access type indicated by the original uplink scheduling grant (UL grant);

the base station may indicate, through the field and an automatic uplink transmission channel Sharing (AUL COT Sharing) field, that the AUL transmission may use Type 2channel access (i.e., 25us short LBT), i.e., shared COT. The base station can set the field to true only after acquiring the channel by using the lowest priority Cat 4.

(2) Base station COT indication and corresponding behavior in NR Unlicensed band access (NRU) Rel-16.

In NRU Rel-16, COT indication of a base station is implemented by a group common PDCCH (GC-PDCCH) DCI 2_0, including COT indication of time and frequency domains.

For the time domain COT indication, according to the configuration of Radio Resource Control (RRC), the following two methods are used:

the method comprises the following steps: when the RRC configuration DCI 2_0 has a channel transmission occupied time length (COT duration) field, the COT duration indicates the remaining base station COT length;

the second method comprises the following steps: when the RRC unconfigured DCI 2_0 has a COT duration field and is configured with a Slot Format Indication (SFI) field, a Slot length represented by the SFI Indication is the remaining base station COT length.

For frequency domain COT indication, the RRC may configure whether the domain exists. For a Load-Based-Equipment (LBE) Based channel access mode, the frequency-domain COT indication needs to be configured simultaneously with the time-domain COT indication.

When the RRC is configured with only the time domain COT indication, the terminal considers all LBT subbands (or RB sets) to be in an available (available) state. The uplink transmission of the terminal in the COT time indicated by the base station can be converted from a Type 1 channel access mechanism to a Type 2A channel access mechanism, namely the COT transmission of the shared base station.

When the RRC is configured with both the time domain COT indication and the frequency domain COT indication:

the uplink transmission of the terminal in the COT time on the available LBT sub-band (or RB set) indicated by the base station can be converted from a Type 1 channel access mechanism into a Type 2A channel access mechanism, namely the COT transmission of the shared base station;

the terminal stops PDCCH monitoring on the unavailable LBT subband (or RB set) indicated by the base station.

The information processing method of the present application will be described below with reference to specific examples.

The first embodiment is as follows:

UE1 successfully initializes the COT and shares the COT to the base station for data transmission, where the base station sends an indication including the following information during shared transmission:

indicating by a COT initialization node, namely the COT is the COT initialized by the UE;

here, the indication may be a display indication, for example, an indication is added in DCI 2_0, if 1 represents a COT initialized for the UE, otherwise, the COT initialized for the base station; the indication may also be an implicit indication (e.g., a special SFI index).

The time length indication, i.e. the end time of the COT or the end time of the COT shared by the base stations.

The indication of the time length may be a display indication or an implicit indication (e.g., a slot length indicated by SFI, or a slot length of non-flexible).

Frequency range indication (frequency domain start and end positions of the COT or frequency domain start and end positions of the COT shared by the base stations).

Here, if the frequency range indicates absence, the frequency range is a predefined range (e.g., the entire BWP or carrier).

In the embodiment of the present application, the UE receiving the first information checks whether the COT is a self-initiated COT, and if not, stops all or part of PDCCH monitoring (for example, PDCCH scrambled by C-RNTI of the UE), SPS PDSCH monitoring, and/or CSI-RS measurement within the indicated time length.

Optionally, the UE transmits the node ID indicating that the indication includes the initialization COT when the UE sharing UE1 transmits, and the UE receiving the indication checks whether the initialization node of the COT is its ID, and if not, stops all or part of PDCCH monitoring (e.g., PDCCH scrambled by the UE C-RNTI), SPS PDSCH monitoring, and/or CSI-RS measurement within the indicated time length.

Optionally, the UE1 sends the indication of the node ID containing the initialization COT when it transmits, and if the UE receiving the indication can communicate with the initialization node, the UE may share the COT of UE1 for the indicated length of time to communicate with UE 1.

In the first embodiment, the UE1 is a third communication device, the base station to which the UE1 is connected is a second communication device, and the user under the base station to which the UE1 is connected is a first communication device.

Example two:

and the UE receiving the indication checks whether the COT is the COT initialized by the UE, and if not, stops all or part of PDCCH monitoring before the FFP end time of the base station where the indication is transmitted.

Optionally, when the UE1 is transmitting, the base station sends an indication containing a node ID of the initialization COT, and at this time, the UE receiving the indication checks whether the initialization node of the COT is its own ID, and if not, stops all or part of PDCCH monitoring before the FFP end time of the base station where the indication is transmitted.

In the second embodiment, the UE1 is a third communication device, the base station to which the UE1 is connected is a second communication device, and the user under the base station to which the UE1 is connected is a first communication device.

under the FBE channel access mechanism, the base station initializes FFP, and the UE1 may select to share the FFP transmission within the FFP of the base station, or initialize the FFP transmission, and send an indication (e.g., via UCI or MAC CE) according to the selection result:

if the base station receives the indication that the UE1 shares FFP transmission, the base station transmits in its current FFP;

if the base station receives an indication to initialize FFP transmission for UE1, the base station may determine the COT type at each time point according to the FFP configuration of the base station and UE 1: as shown in fig. 3, a base station may transmit with its connected nodes during time T1, and may share the COT of UE1 for transmission during time T2 (even in the event of a failure of base station FFP 2). That is, the COT type corresponding to the T1 time period is the initialized COT, and the COT type corresponding to the T2 time period is the COT of the shared terminal.
