NTN communication technology:

currently, 3GPP is researching NTN communication technology, and NTN generally provides communication service to terrestrial users by means of satellite communication. Satellite communications have many unique advantages over terrestrial cellular communications. First, satellite communication is not limited by user regions, for example, general terrestrial communication cannot cover regions where communication equipment cannot be set up, such as the sea, mountains, desert, and the like, or communication coverage is not performed due to sparse population, and for satellite communication, since one satellite can cover a large ground and the satellite can orbit around the earth, theoretically every corner on the earth can be covered by satellite communication. Second, satellite communication has great social value. Satellite communication can be covered in remote mountainous areas, poor and laggard countries or areas with lower cost, so that people in the areas can enjoy advanced voice communication and mobile internet technology, the digital gap between the areas is favorably reduced and developed, and the development of the areas is promoted. Thirdly, the satellite communication distance is far, and the cost of communication is not obviously increased when the communication distance is increased. And finally, the satellite communication has high stability and is not limited by natural disasters.

Communication satellites are classified into Low-Earth Orbit (LEO) satellites, Medium-Earth Orbit (MEO) satellites, geosynchronous Orbit (GEO) satellites, High-elliptic Orbit (HEO) satellites, and the like according to the difference in orbital height. The main studies at the present stage are LEO and GEO. In LEO, low orbit satellites have a range of heights from 500km to 1500km, with corresponding orbital periods of about 1.5 hours to 2 hours. The signal propagation delay for single hop communication between terminal devices is typically less than 20 ms. Maximum satellite visibility time 20 minutes. The signal propagation distance is short, the link loss is less, and the requirement on the transmitting power of the terminal equipment is not high. In GEO, the orbital altitude of a geosynchronous orbit satellite is 35786km, and the period of rotation around the earth is 24 hours. The signal propagation delay for single hop communication between terminal devices is typically 250 ms. In order to ensure the coverage of the satellite and improve the system capacity of the whole satellite communication system, the satellite adopts multiple beams to cover the ground, and one satellite can form dozens of or even hundreds of beams to cover the ground; one satellite beam may cover a ground area several tens to hundreds of kilometers in diameter.

5G NR HARQ mechanism:

the 5G NR communication system includes a two-stage retransmission mechanism, i.e., a HARQ mechanism of a MAC layer and an ARQ mechanism of an RLC layer. The retransmission process of lost or erroneous data is mainly handled by the HARQ mechanism of the MAC layer and supplemented by the retransmission function of the RLC layer. In addition, the HARQ mechanism of the MAC layer can provide fast data retransmission, and the Automatic Repeat request (ARQ) mechanism of the RLC layer can provide reliable data transmission.

Specifically, the HARQ transmits data using a Stop-and-Wait Protocol (Stop-and-Wait Protocol). In the stop-wait protocol, after a sender sends a Transport Block (TB), the sender stops to wait for acknowledgement information, and the receiver uses 1-bit information to determine positive (ACK) or Negative (NACK) of the TB procedure. However, stopping the sender after each transmission for acknowledgement results in low data throughput. Thus, the 5G NR uses multiple parallel HARQ processes. While one HARQ process is waiting for acknowledgement information, the transmitting end may continue to transmit data using another HARQ process. A plurality of parallel HARQ processes together form one HARQ entity (entity) and the HARQ entity incorporates a stop-and-wait protocol, allowing for continuous transmission of data. In addition, the HARQ process includes an uplink HARQ process and a downlink HARQ process. The uplink HARQ process is for uplink data transmission, and the downlink HARQ process is for downlink data transmission, which are independent of each other.

Currently, the NR protocol provides that the terminal device has a HARQ entity corresponding to each serving cell. Each HARQ entity maintains a set of parallel downlink HARQ processes and a set of parallel uplink HARQ processes, and each uplink and downlink carrier supports a maximum of 16 HARQ processes. The network device may indicate the maximum number of HARQ processes to the terminal device through RRC signaling semi-static configuration according to a network deployment situation. If the network device does not provide corresponding configuration parameters, the number of HARQ processes supported by each downlink carrier is 8, and the maximum number of HARQ processes supported by each uplink carrier is always 16. Each HARQ process corresponds to a HARQ process number (ID). For terminal equipment which does not support downlink space division multiplexing, each downlink HARQ process can only process 1 TB simultaneously; for a terminal device supporting downlink space division multiplexing, each downlink HARQ process may process 1 or 2 TBs simultaneously. Each uplink HARQ process of the terminal device processes 1 TB simultaneously. The HARQ protocol is divided into two types, synchronous (synchronization) and asynchronous (asynchronous) in the time domain, and is divided into two types, non-adaptive and adaptive, in the frequency domain, while in the 5G NR communication system, the asynchronous adaptive HARQ mechanism is used for both the uplink and the downlink. The asynchronous HARQ indicates that data retransmission can occur at any time, that is, the time interval between the retransmission of the same TB and the last transmission is not fixed, that is, HARQ processes can be used in any order. Synchronous HARQ means that data retransmission occurs at a fixed time, i.e. the time interval between the retransmission of the same TB and the last transmission is fixed, i.e. only a specific HARQ process can be used in a specific subframe. Adaptive HARQ means that the frequency domain resources and Modulation and Coding Scheme (MCS) used for data retransmission can be changed. Non-adaptive HARQ means that the data retransmission must use the same frequency domain resources and MCS as the last transmission (data new transmission or last data retransmission).

Configuring an Uplink Grant (Configured Uplink Grant):

in order to better serve periodic services, a concept of pre-configured resources is introduced, and downlink is called Semi-Persistent Scheduling (SPS) and uplink is called configuring uplink grant. The NR communication system supports transmission of two types of uplink configuration grants: physical Uplink Shared Channel (PUSCH) transmission based on a first Type of configuration Grant (Configured Grant Type 1) and PUSCH transmission based on a second Type of configuration Grant (Configured Grant Type 1). In the PUSCH transmission based on the first type of configuration authorization, the network RRC configures transmission resources and transmission parameters including time domain resources, frequency domain resources, the period of the time domain resources, MCS, the number of repetitions, the frequency hopping, the number of HARQ processes, and the like. After receiving the RRC configuration, the terminal device may immediately use the configured transmission parameters to perform PUSCH transmission on the configured time-frequency resource. In PUSCH transmission based on the second type of configuration grant, the following method needs to be adopted for resource configuration: first, the network RRC configures transmission resources and transmission parameters including a period (periodicity) of time domain resources, a repetition number (repK), a frequency hopping, a number of HARQ processes, and the like. Then, a second type of PUSCH transmission based on configuration authorization is activated by a PDCCH scrambled with a Configured Scheduling Radio Network temporary Identity (CS-RNTI), and transmission resources and transmission parameters including time domain resources, frequency domain resources, MCS, and the like are Configured at the same time. When receiving the RRC configuration, the terminal device cannot immediately use the transmission resources and transmission parameters configured by the RRC to perform PUSCH transmission, but needs to perform PUSCH transmission after receiving corresponding PDCCH activation and configuration.

Under the condition that the network device configures a certain number of HARQ process IDs for configuring the uplink grant, since the maximum number of HARQ processes that the terminal device can configure is 16, the terminal device uses these HARQ process IDs in a polling manner to perform uplink transmission on the resource configured with the uplink grant indication. Assume that the HARQ process ID used at time t0 for the resource configured with the uplink grant indication is the same as the HARQ process ID used at time t1, i.e., HARQ ID i. The terminal device packages 1 MAC PDU (Protocol Data Unit), that is, MAC PDU1, at time t0, and stores MAC PDU1 in the buffer of HARQ ID i. By time t1, the MAC PDU coming at time t1 will overwrite (flush) the MAC PDU1 buffered in HARQ ID i, since it is the same as the HARQ process used at time t0, even though the MAC PDU1 has not been successfully transmitted. Therefore, the NR system introduces a configuration grant timer (configuredGrantTimer) of the HARQ process, and before the configuredGrantTimer corresponding to the HARQ process times out, the MAC PDU stored or buffered in the HARQ process cannot be covered. Wherein, the maintenance mode of configuredGrantTimer includes: if the terminal equipment carries out uplink transmission on the resource scheduled by the DCI in the PDCCH and the HARQ process used by the uplink transmission can be used for configuring the transmission of uplink authorization, the terminal equipment starts or restarts a configuredGrantTimer corresponding to the HARQ process; if the terminal equipment carries out uplink transmission on the resource configured with the uplink authorization indication, the terminal equipment starts or restarts a configuredGrantTimer corresponding to the HARQ process; if the terminal receives the PDCCH to indicate that the configured grant Type 2 is activated, the terminal equipment stops the operating configurable grant timer.

In a 5G NR communication system, a propagation delay of a communication signal is often significantly increased. Under the condition that the number of Hybrid Automatic Repeat Request (HARQ) processes is not increased, in order to ensure reliability and continuity of data transmission under the condition that the signal propagation delay is greatly increased, a scheme for turning on or off an HARQ feedback function of an HARQ process is currently discussed in a 3GPP organization, which may include: the network device may configure whether to start the HARQ feedback function; if the HARQ function is turned off, the terminal device may not need to send HARQ feedback for the PDSCH to the network device; under the condition of closing the HARQ feedback function, in order to ensure the reliability of data transmission, HARQ retransmission can still be supported; the method includes configuring the starting or closing of the HARQ feedback function based on the terminal device or based on the HARQ process, in the configuration mode based on the terminal device, the HARQ feedback functions of all HARQ processes of the terminal device can be configured to be in a starting or closing state at the same time, and in the configuration mode based on the HARQ process, for a plurality of HARQ processes of the terminal device, the HARQ feedback functions of a part of HARQ processes can be configured to be in a starting state, and the HARQ feedback functions of another part of HARQ processes are configured to be in a closing state; for the configuration of the HARQ feedback function being turned on or off, two ways may be indicated by RRC configuration and DCI. Wherein, RRC signaling may semi-statically configure which HARQ process or processes close or open the HARQ feedback function, and DCI may dynamically indicate whether a certain dynamic scheduling closes or opens the HARQ feedback function of which HARQ process.

The NR communication system supports the HARQ mechanism, and introduces a configurable grant timer of the HARQ process, and the configuration of the configurable grant timer is mainly based on Round-Trip Time (RTT) of signal transmission between the terminal device and the network device and scheduling delay. If the NR communication system is to support the turning on or off based on the HARQ feedback function, the time required to wait for retransmission scheduling is different for the HARQ process that turns off the HARQ function and the HARQ process that turns on the HARQ function. In addition, how to influence the configuration mode and the use method of the configuration grant timer corresponding to the HARQ process by starting or closing the HARQ feedback function of the HARQ process also needs to be further studied.

In view of the above problems, the following describes the steps of implementing the method for configuring the grant timer, and please refer to fig. 2. Fig. 2 is a schematic flowchart of a method for configuring an authorization timer according to an embodiment of the present application, where the method includes:

step 210, terminal device 110 transmits the first data of the uplink HARQ process on the first uplink resource.

In one possible example, terminal device 110 may receive first configuration information from network device 120. The first configuration information includes that the state of configuring the uplink grant and the HARQ feedback function of the uplink HARQ process is first state information. Further, the first state information may include that the state of the HARQ feedback function of the uplink HARQ process is an on state, and may also include that the state of the HARQ feedback function of the uplink HARQ process is an off state.

Specifically, when the first state information is in the on state, the network device 120 needs to indicate whether to perform new transmission or retransmission when scheduling uplink transmission to the terminal device 110 next time after receiving the PUSCH, where the new transmission represents that the last reception of the PUSCH is ACK, and the retransmission represents that the last reception of the PUSCH is NACK. It can be understood that after terminal device 110 transmits data to network device 120 via PUSCH, network device 120 needs to decode the data first and then confirm HARQ feedback information of the data. If the HARQ feedback information is a NACK message, the network device needs to retransmit the data through scheduling of the PDCCH, which increases the time required to wait for retransmission scheduling.

Specifically, when the first state information is in the off state, the network device 120 may schedule uplink transmission to the terminal device 110 without waiting for the result of PUSCH decoding. It can be appreciated that after terminal device 110 transmits data to network device 120 via PUSCH, network device 120 may retransmit the data directly via scheduling of PDCCH without decoding the data to confirm HARQ feedback information for the data, which is beneficial for reducing the time required to wait for retransmission scheduling. In addition, in case of turning off the HARQ feedback function, in order to guarantee reliability of data transmission, HARQ retransmission is still supported. That is, when data retransmission is required, the state of the HARQ feedback function of the uplink HARQ process may be configured by the network.

Specifically, the first configuration information may include RRC configuration information, and the RRC configuration information may include uplink HARQ process configuration parameters, where the uplink HARQ process configuration parameters include the number of uplink HARQ processes, a state of a HARQ feedback function of each uplink HARQ process (whether to turn on the HARQ feedback function or turn off the HARQ feedback function), and the like. The RRC configuration information may include a configured uplink grant parameter, where the configured uplink grant parameter includes a CS-RNTI, a number of uplink HARQ processes reserved for configuring the uplink grant, a resource period for configuring the uplink grant, and a configuredgrantimer corresponding to the uplink HARQ processes. The RRC configuration information may further include related parameters configuring Discontinuous Reception (DRX), which include a DRX cycle, an on duration Timer (onDurationTimer), a DRX inactivity Timer (DRX-inactivity Timer), a DRX retransmission Timer (DRX-retransmission Timer), and a DRX HARQ RTT Timer (DRX-HARQ-RTT-Timer). In addition, the RRC configuration information may configure at least one uplink bandwidth Part (BWP) for each serving cell of the terminal device 110, and configure at least one uplink grant for each BWP in the at least one uplink BWP.

For example, the RRC configuration information configures 4 HARQ processes, that is, HARQ ID 0, HARQ ID 1, HARQ ID 2, and HARQ ID 3, for terminal device 110, and each HARQ process corresponds to a configurable grant timer. Wherein, the state of the HARQ feedback function of the HARQ ID 0 and the HARQ ID 1 is in an off state, and the state of the HARQ feedback function of the HARQ ID 2 and the HARQ ID 3 is in an on state. Then, configure one uplink BWP for the serving cell of terminal device 110, and configure 2 uplink grants for the uplink BWP, where one uplink grant may use HARQ ID 0 and HARQ ID 1, and the other uplink grant may use HARQ ID 2 and HARQ ID 3.

Further, the first configuration information may be authorization configuration information (ConfiguredGrantConfig) configured by the RRC through higher layer signaling. The parameters in the configurable grant configuration include time domain resources, frequency domain resources, a period (periodicity) of the time domain resources, an MCS, an antenna port, a Sounding Reference Signal (SRS) resource indication, a DeModulation Reference Signal (DMRS), a repetition number (repK), a repeated redundancy version (repK-RV), frequency hopping, power control, and the like, the number of uplink HARQ processes, and a state of an HARQ feedback function of the uplink HARQ processes (whether to turn on the HARQ feedback function or turn off the HARQ feedback function).

In one possible example, the first uplink resource may include a resource configuring an uplink grant indication or a resource of DCI scheduling in a PDCCH. It can be understood that terminal device 110 may transmit the first data of the uplink HARQ process on the resource configured with the uplink grant indication, and may also transmit the first data of the uplink HARQ process on the resource scheduled by the DCI in the PDCCH. Furthermore, unlike dynamically scheduled resources, terminal device 110 may always and periodically use the resources indicated by the configured uplink grant for uplink transmission until it is reconfigured by the network. That is, the terminal device 110 may perform uplink transmission at the same time-frequency resource location every fixed period.

Specifically, for terminal device 110 transmitting the first data of the uplink HARQ process in the first uplink resource, it can be understood that terminal device 110 may newly transmit the first data of the uplink HARQ process in the first uplink resource, and may also retransmit the first data of the uplink HARQ process.

Step 220, terminal device 110 executes a control operation of configuring an authorization timer for the uplink HARQ process according to the state of the HARQ feedback function of the uplink HARQ process.

Specifically, in the case that the first uplink resource is a resource scheduled by DCI in a PDCCH, step 220 may be understood that, if terminal device 110 receives DCI in a PDCCH indicating that uplink initial transmission or retransmission is scheduled, and the uplink HARQ process used in the current uplink transmission may be used to configure uplink transmission of uplink grant, terminal device 110 executes a configuredGrantTimer control operation of the uplink HARQ process according to a state of a HARQ feedback function of the uplink HARQ process used in the current uplink transmission.

Specifically, in the case that the first uplink resource is a resource configured with the uplink grant indication, step 220 may be understood as that, if terminal device 110 performs uplink transmission on the resource configured with the uplink grant indication, terminal device 110 executes a configurable grant timer control operation of the uplink HARQ process according to a state of an HARQ feedback function of the uplink HARQ process used in the current uplink transmission.

In one possible example, terminal device 110 performing the control operation of the configuration grant timer for the uplink HARQ process according to the state of the HARQ feedback function of the uplink HARQ process may include the following operations: performing a control operation of a configuredGrantTimer for the uplink HARQ process, if the state of the HARQ feedback function of the uplink HARQ process is not changed with respect to the first state information; or, when the state of the HARQ feedback function of the uplink HARQ process is changed with respect to the first state information, performing a control operation for a configuredGrantTimer of the uplink HARQ process.

Specifically, if the DCI in the PDCCH does not change the HARQ feedback function of the uplink HARQ process in the first configuration information, terminal device 110 performs a control operation of configurable grant timer for the HARQ process. Alternatively, if DCI in PDCCH has changed the HARQ feedback function of the uplink HARQ process in the first configuration information, terminal device 110 performs a control operation of configuredGrantTimer for the HARQ process.

It can be seen that the control operation of the configurable grant timer for the uplink HARQ process is executed by determining whether the state of the HARQ feedback function of the uplink HARQ process changes with respect to the first state information of the uplink HARQ process in the first configuration information, which is beneficial to implement a configuration manner and a use method for configuring the grant timer for the uplink HARQ process according to determining whether the state of the HARQ feedback function of the uplink HARQ process changes when the NR communication system considers to turn on or turn off the HARQ feedback function of the uplink HARQ process.

In one possible example, terminal device 110 may perform the control operation of configuring the grant timer for the uplink HARQ process according to the state of the HARQ feedback function of the uplink HARQ process, including the following operations: executing a control operation of a configuredGrantTimer for the uplink HARQ process when the first state information is in an on state; or, when the first state information is in an off state, performing a control operation of a configuredGrantTimer for the uplink HARQ process. It can be understood that, the control operation of the configurable grant timer for the uplink HARQ process is performed according to whether the HARQ feedback function of the uplink HARQ process configured by the first configuration information is turned on or off.

It can be seen that the control operation of the configurable grant timer for the uplink HARQ process is executed according to whether the HARQ feedback function of the uplink HARQ process configured by the network is turned on or off, which is beneficial to implementing the configuration mode and the usage method of the configuration grant timer for the uplink HARQ process according to the state of the HARQ feedback function of the uplink HARQ process configured by the network under the condition that the NR communication system considers turning on or off the HARQ feedback function of the uplink HARQ process.

In one possible example, terminal device 110 may receive DCI in a PDCCH from network device 120 scheduling the uplink HARQ process, where the DCI in the PDCCH includes the first indication information.

The first indication information may be used to indicate that the state of the HARQ feedback function of the uplink HARQ process is second state information, where the second state information is the same as or different from the first state information.

Further, the first indication information may be used to indicate that the state of the HARQ feedback function of the uplink HARQ process in the transmission process of the current first data of the uplink HARQ process is the second state information, and may also be used to indicate that the state of the HARQ feedback function of the uplink HARQ process in the transmission process of the current first data of the uplink HARQ process and the subsequent transmission process of the uplink HARQ process is the second state information. It can be understood that, when the state of the HARQ feedback function of the uplink HARQ process configured in the first configuration information needs to be changed, the single DCI may only change the state of the HARQ feedback function of the uplink HARQ process in the transmission of the current first data of the uplink HARQ process, or may also change the state of the HARQ feedback function of the uplink HARQ process in the transmission of the current first data of the uplink HARQ process and subsequent transmission. Compared with the situation that only the transmission of the first data at the current time is changed, the one-time DCI can change the state of the HARQ feedback function of the uplink HARQ process of the transmission and the subsequent transmission of the first data of the uplink HARQ process, and is beneficial to saving PDCCH resources of the network under the condition that the HARQ feedback function of the uplink HARQ process needs to be changed in the subsequent transmission. Under the condition that only the transmission process of the first data at this time is changed, if the network needs to change the state of the HARQ feedback function of multiple transmissions, the DCI for multiple transmissions needs to include indication information for changing the state of the HARQ feedback function, which also increases the PDCCH resource overhead.

Specifically, the first data transmission in the uplink HARQ process may be understood as new transmission or retransmission of the first data in the uplink HARQ process on the first uplink resource, and the subsequent transmission in the uplink HARQ process may be understood as retransmission of the first data in the uplink HARQ process on the resource scheduled by the network and new transmission or retransmission of other data after the first data in the uplink HARQ process.

For example, first, the network device 120 sends RRC configuration information to the terminal device 110, where the RRC configuration information includes 1 uplink HARQ process and 1 configured uplink grant, the number of the uplink HARQ process is HARQ ID 0, and a state of a HARQ feedback function of the HARQ ID 0 is an on state. Next, terminal device 110 performs new transmission on the resource configured with the uplink grant indication, where the uplink transmission of the first data uses HARQ ID 0. At this time, the state of the HARQ feedback function of the HARQ ID 0 is an on state in the initial transmission process of the first data. Then, when terminal device 110 receives the retransmission of the DCI scheduled first data in the PDCCH, terminal device 110 retransmits the first data on the DCI scheduled resource in the PDCCH. At this time, if the DCI in the PDCCH can only indicate that the state of the HARQ feedback function of the HARQ ID 0 is an off state in the transmission process of the first data of the HARQ ID 0 this time, the state of the HARQ feedback function indicating the HARQ ID 0 when the first data needs to be retransmitted next time is changed to an on state configured by the RRC signaling. And if the DCI in the PDCCH may indicate that the state of the HARQ feedback function of the HARQ ID 0 is an off state in the process of transmitting the first data of the HARQ ID 0 this time and subsequently transmitting, indicating that the state of the HARQ feedback function of the HARQ ID 0 is still an off state when the first data needs to be retransmitted next time.

It can be seen that, by considering whether the state of the HARQ feedback function of the uplink HARQ process is changed in the current transmission of the uplink HARQ process or in the current transmission and subsequent transmission of the uplink HARQ process by the indication information in the DCI once, it is beneficial to further expand the function of the DCI in the PDCCH, so as to be able to meet the needs of different communication scenarios in the 5G NR communication system. In addition, whether the state of the HARQ feedback function of the uplink HARQ process is changed in the current transmission and the subsequent transmission of the uplink HARQ process is indicated by the indication information in the DCI at one time, which is also beneficial to saving the overhead of the PDCCH resource.

Further, the terminal device 110 performing the control operation of configuring the grant timer for the uplink HARQ process according to the state of the HARQ feedback function of the uplink HARQ process may include the following operations: and executing the control operation of the configuration authorization timer aiming at the uplink HARQ process according to the first state information and the second state information. It can be understood that whether to change the state of the HARQ feedback function of the uplink HARQ process is indicated by DCI in the PDCCH to perform a control operation for the configuredGrantTimer of the uplink HARQ process.

It can be seen that, since the network device may indicate the state of the HARQ feedback function of the uplink HARQ process through the DCI in the PDCCH, the control operation of the configuredGrantTimer for the uplink HARQ process is performed according to the state of the HARQ feedback function of the uplink HARQ process indicated by the DCI in the PDCCU, which is beneficial to further ensure that the terminal device can correspondingly use the configuredGrantTimer according to the relevant configuration and scheduling operation of the network device.

Further, the terminal device 110 performing the control operation of configuring the grant timer for the uplink HARQ process according to the first state information and the second state information may include the following operations: under the condition that the first state information is different from the second state information, executing the control operation of configuring an authorization timer aiming at the uplink HARQ process; or, in the case that the first state information is the same as the second state information, performing a control operation of configuring a grant timer for the uplink HARQ process. It can be understood that the control operation of the configuredGrantTimer for the uplink HARQ process is performed according to the relationship of the second state information and the first state information.

In an example, the network device 120 sends RRC configuration information to the terminal device 110, where the RRC configuration information includes 1 uplink HARQ process and 1 configured uplink grant, the number of the uplink HARQ process is HARQ ID 0, and the state of the HARQ feedback function of the HARQ ID 0 is an on state. Then, terminal device 110 receives the uplink PUSCH of DCI dynamic scheduling HARQ ID 0 in the PDCCH to transmit the first data, and the configured uplink grant also configures HARQ ID 0. If the DCI in the PDCCH indicates that the state of the HARQ feedback function of HARQ ID 0 is an off state, terminal device 110 transmits first data using HARQ ID 0 on the resource dynamically scheduled by the DCI in the PDCCH, and performs a control operation of a configurable grant timer corresponding to HARQ ID 0. Or, if the DCI in the PDCCH indicates that the state of the HARQ feedback function of HARQ ID 0 is still in an on state, terminal device 110 transmits the first data using HARQ ID 0 on the resource dynamically scheduled by the DCI in the PDCCH, and performs a control operation of a configurable grant timer corresponding to HARQ ID 0. And for the DCI in the PDCCH, whether the state of the HARQ feedback function of the HARQ ID 0 is changed in the current transmission or the current transmission and the subsequent transmission is indicated, which is similar to the above example.

It can be seen that, since the network device may change the state of the HARQ feedback function of the uplink HARQ process through the DCI in the PDCCH, and determine whether the state of the HARQ feedback function of the uplink HARQ process changes with respect to the first state information configured by the first configuration information, to execute the control operation of the configurable grant timer for the uplink HARQ process, it is beneficial to further ensure that the terminal device can correspondingly use the configuration grant timer according to the relevant configuration and scheduling operation of the network device.

In one possible example, the operation of controlling the grant timer for configuring the uplink HARQ process may include any one of the following: starting a configuration authorization timer of the uplink HARQ process, restarting the configuration authorization timer of the uplink HARQ process or stopping the configuration authorization timer of the uplink HARQ process. It can be understood that, according to whether the HARQ feedback state information of the uplink HARQ process configured in the first configuration information is on or off, a configurable grant timer operation for starting, restarting, or stopping the uplink HARQ process is correspondingly performed. Or, correspondingly starting, restarting or stopping the configuredGrantTimer operation of the uplink HARQ process according to whether the DCI in the PDCCH changes the state of the HARQ feedback function of the uplink HARQ process already configured in the first configuration information.

In one possible example, the first configuration information may further include a configuration granted timer value of the uplink HARQ process.

Wherein the configuration authorization timer value is used for indicating the running time length of the configuration authorization timer of the uplink HARQ process, and the configuration authorization timer value comprises a first parameter value and a second parameter value.

In one possible example, terminal device 110 may further include the following operations: under the condition that the first state information is in an open state, starting or restarting a configuration authorization timer of the uplink HARQ process, and setting the configuration authorization timer of the uplink HARQ process as a first parameter value; and starting or restarting the configuration authorization timer of the uplink HARQ process under the condition that the first state information is in the closed state, and setting the configuration authorization timer of the uplink HARQ process as a second parameter value.

Further, in consideration of the RTT of signal transmission between the terminal device and the network scheduling delay, a larger configuredGrantTimer value may be configured for the uplink HARQ process that starts the HARQ feedback function. And in the case of only considering the network scheduling delay of signal transmission between the terminal device and the network device, a smaller configuredGrantTimer value may be configured for the uplink HARQ process for closing the HARQ feedback function.

In an example, network device 120 sends RRC configuration information to terminal device 110, where the RRC configuration information includes 2 uplink HARQ processes, 1 configuration uplink grant, and a configuredgrantimer value of the 2 uplink HARQ processes, each uplink HARQ process in the 2 uplink HARQ processes has one configuredgrantimer, the 2 uplink HARQ process numbers are HARQ ID 0 and HARQ ID 1, the state of the HARQ feedback function of HARQ ID 0 is an on state, the state of the HARQ feedback function of HARQ ID 1 is an off state, and the configuredgrantimer value includes a first parameter value and a second parameter value. Secondly, if terminal device 110 sends the first data on the resource configured with the uplink grant indication, the uplink transmission of the first data uses HARQ ID 0. Since the state of the HARQ feedback function of the HARQ ID 0 is an on state in the initial transmission process of the first data, the terminal device 110 starts or restarts the configuredGrantTimer of the HARQ ID 0, and sets the configuredGrantTimer as the first parameter value. If terminal device 110 sends the first data on the resource indicated by the configured uplink grant, the uplink transmission of the first data uses HARQ ID 1. Since the state of the HARQ feedback function of the HARQ ID 1 is an off state in the initial transmission process of the first data, the terminal device 110 starts or restarts the configuredGrantTimer of the HARQ ID 1, and sets the configuredGrantTimer to the second parameter value.

It can be seen that, the configurable grant timer of the uplink HARQ process is started or restarted according to the state of the HARQ feedback function of the uplink HARQ process configured by the network, and a configurable grant timer value is set for the corresponding configurable grant timer, which is beneficial to further implementing the configuration manner and the use method of the configuration grant timer of the uplink HARQ process according to the state of the HARQ feedback function of the uplink HARQ process configured by the network.

In one possible example, terminal device 110 may further include the following operations: under the condition that the first state information is the same as the second state information, starting or restarting a configuration authorization timer of the uplink HARQ process, and setting the configuration authorization timer of the uplink HARQ process as a first parameter value; and starting or restarting the configuration authorization timer of the uplink HARQ process under the condition that the first state information is different from the second state information, and setting the configuration authorization timer of the uplink HARQ process as a second parameter value.

For example, please refer to fig. 3. First, network device 120 sends RRC configuration information to terminal device 110, where the RRC configuration information includes 2 uplink HARQ processes, 1 configuration uplink grant, and a configuredgrantimer value of the 2 uplink HARQ processes, each uplink HARQ process in the 2 uplink HARQ processes has one configuredgrantimer, the 2 uplink HARQ process numbers are HARQ ID 0 and HARQ ID 1, the state of the HARQ feedback function of HARQ ID 0 is an on state, the state of the HARQ feedback function of HARQ ID 1 is an off state, and the configuredgrantimer value includes a first parameter value and a second parameter value. Terminal device 110 uses the 2 uplink HARQ process numbers to perform uplink transmission on the resource configured with the uplink grant indication in a polling manner. Next, the terminal device 110 sends the initial transmission of the first data on the resource configured with the uplink grant indication, and the uplink transmission of the first data uses HARQ ID 0. Since the state of the HARQ feedback function of HARQ ID 0 is an on state in the initial transmission process of the first data, terminal device 110 starts a configredgrant timer for HARQ ID 0 and sets the configredgrant timer to the first parameter value. Then, terminal device 110 receives the uplink PUSCH of DCI dynamic scheduling HARQ ID 0 in the PDCCH to retransmit the first data. Since the DCI in the PDCCH indicates that the state of the HARQ feedback function of HARQ ID 0 is still in the on state, terminal device 110 retransmits the first data using HARQ ID 0 on the first resource dynamically scheduled by the DCI in the PDCCH, and restarts the configredgrant timer of HARQ ID 0. At this point configuredGrantTimer is still the first parameter value. Again, terminal device 110 receives the uplink PUSCH of DCI dynamic scheduling HARQ ID 0 in the PDCCH to newly transmit the second data. Since DCI in the PDCCH indicates that the state of the HARQ feedback function of HARQ ID 0 is an off state, terminal device 110 uses HARQ ID 0 to newly transmit second data on the second resource dynamically scheduled by DCI in the PDCCH, restarts configurable grant timer of HARQ ID 0, and sets the configurable grant timer to the second parameter value. Finally, terminal device 110 receives the uplink PUSCH of DCI dynamic scheduling HARQ ID 0 in the PDCCH to retransmit the second data. If the DCI in the PDCCH indicates that the state of the HARQ feedback function of HARQ ID 0 is an on state, terminal device 110 retransmits the second data using HARQ ID 0 on the third resource dynamically scheduled by the DCI in the PDCCH, restarts configurable grant timer of HARQ ID 0, and sets the configurable grant timer to the first parameter value. If DCI in the PDCCH indicates that the state of the HARQ feedback function of HARQ ID 0 is still in an off state, terminal device 110 retransmits the second data using HARQ ID 0 on the third resource dynamically scheduled by DCI in the PDCCH, and restarts configurable grant timer of HARQ ID 0, where the configurable grant timer is still the second parameter value. On the other hand, whether the DCI in the PDCCH indicates the current transmission of HARQ ID 0 or the current transmission and subsequent transmission of HARQ ID changes the state of the HARQ feedback function of HARQ ID 0 is similar to the above example.

It can be seen that, in the case of receiving DCI in a PDCCH, the configurable grant timer of the uplink HARQ process is started or restarted by determining whether the state of the HARQ feedback function of the uplink HARQ process changes with respect to the first state information configured by the first configuration information, and a configurable grant timer value is set for the corresponding configurable grant timer, which is beneficial to further implement a configuration manner and a use method for configuring the grant timer of the uplink HARQ process according to determining whether the state of the HARQ feedback function of the uplink HARQ process changes.

In one possible example, the configured grant timer of the uplink HARQ process includes a first configured grant timer and a second configured grant timer.

Further, the terminal device 110 performing the control operation of configuring the grant timer for the uplink HARQ process according to the first state information may include the following operations: under the condition that the first state information is in an opening state, starting or restarting a first configuration authorization timer, and setting the first configuration authorization timer as a first parameter value; stopping the second configuration authorization timer if the second configuration authorization timer is running; or, starting or restarting a second configuration authorization timer under the condition that the first state information is in a closed state, and setting the second configuration authorization timer as a second parameter value; in the case that the first configuration authorization timer is running, the first configuration authorization timer is stopped.

In an example, network device 120 sends RRC configuration information to terminal device 110, where the RRC configuration information includes 2 uplink HARQ processes, 1 configured uplink grant, and a configuredGrantTimer value, where each uplink HARQ process in the 2 uplink HARQ processes has 2 configuredgrantimers, that is, a first configuredgrantimer and a second configuredgrantimer, where the 2 uplink HARQ process numbers are HARQ ID 0 and HARQ ID 1, a state of a HARQ feedback function of HARQ ID 0 is an on state, a state of a HARQ feedback function of HARQ ID 1 is an off state, and the configuredgrantimer includes a first parameter value and a second parameter value. Secondly, when the terminal device 110 transmits the first data on the resource configured with the uplink grant indication, the HARQ ID 0 is used for uplink transmission of the first data. Since the state of the HARQ feedback function of the HARQ ID 0 is an on state in the transmission process of the first data, the terminal device 110 starts or restarts the first configurable grant timer of the HARQ ID 0, and sets the first configurable grant timer as the first parameter value. If the second configuredGrantTimer for HARQ ID 0 is running, the second configuredGrantTimer is stopped. Alternatively, when terminal device 110 transmits the first data on the resource configured with the uplink grant indication, the HARQ ID 1 is used for uplink transmission of the first data. Since the state of the HARQ feedback function of HARQ ID 1 is an off state in the transmission process of the first data, terminal device 110 starts or restarts the second configuredGrantTimer of HARQ ID 1, and sets the second configuredGrantTimer to the second parameter value. If the first configuredGrantTimer of HARQ ID 1 is running, the first configuredGrantTimer is stopped.

It can be seen that, the corresponding configuredGrantTimer is selected from the configuredGrantTimer of the uplink HARQ process to start or restart according to the state of the HARQ feedback function of the uplink HARQ process configured by the network, and the corresponding configuredGrantTimer value is set for the selected configuredGrantTimer, which is beneficial to further implement the configuration mode and the use method for configuring the authorization timer of the uplink HARQ process according to the state of the HARQ feedback function of the uplink HARQ process configured by the network.

Further, the terminal device 110 performing the control operation of configuring the grant timer for the uplink HARQ process according to the first indication information may include the following operations: under the condition that the first state information is the same as the second state information, starting or restarting a first configuration authorization timer, and setting the first configuration authorization timer as a first parameter value; stopping the second configuration authorization timer if the second configuration authorization timer is running; or, starting or restarting a second configuration authorization timer under the condition that the first state information is different from the second state information, and setting the second configuration authorization timer as a second parameter value; in the case that the first configuration authorization timer is running, the first configuration authorization timer is stopped.

For example, please refer to fig. 4. First, network device 120 sends RRC configuration information to terminal device 110, where the RRC configuration information includes 2 uplink HARQ processes, 1 configuration uplink grant, and configuredgrantimer values of the 2 uplink HARQ processes, each uplink HARQ process in the 2 uplink HARQ processes has 2 configuredgrantimers, that is, a first configuredgrantimer and a second configuredgrantimer, the 2 uplink HARQ process numbers are HARQ ID 0 and HARQ ID 1, the state of the HARQ feedback function of HARQ ID 0 is an on state, the state of the HARQ feedback function of HARQ ID 1 is an off state, and the configuredgrantimer values include a first parameter value and a second parameter value. Terminal device 110 uses the 2 uplink HARQ process numbers to perform uplink transmission on the resource configured with the uplink grant indication in a polling manner. Next, terminal device 110 performs new transmission on the resource configured with the uplink grant indication, where the uplink transmission of the first data uses HARQ ID 0. Since the state of the HARQ feedback function of HARQ ID 0 is an on state in the new transmission process of the first data, terminal device 110 starts the first configurable grant timer of HARQ ID 0 and sets the first configurable grant timer as the first parameter value. Then, terminal device 110 receives the uplink PUSCH of DCI dynamic scheduling HARQ ID 0 in the PDCCH to retransmit the first data. Since DCI in the PDCCH indicates that the state of the HARQ feedback function of HARQ ID 0 is still in an on state, terminal device 110 retransmits the first data using HARQ ID 0 on the first resource dynamically scheduled by DCI in the PDCCH, and restarts the first configuredGrantTimer of HARQ ID 0. At this point the first configuredGrantTimer is still the first parameter value. Again, terminal device 110 receives the uplink PUSCH of DCI dynamic scheduling HARQ ID 0 in the PDCCH to newly transmit the second data. Since DCI in the PDCCH indicates that the state of the HARQ feedback function of HARQ ID 0 is an off state, terminal device 110 uses HARQ ID 0 to newly transmit second data on the second resource dynamically scheduled by DCI in the PDCCH, starts a second configurable grant timer of HARQ ID 0, sets the second configurable grant timer to a second parameter value, and stops the first configurable grant timer of HARQ ID 0. Finally, terminal device 110 receives the uplink PUSCH of DCI dynamic scheduling HARQ ID 0 in the PDCCH to retransmit the second data. If the DCI in the PDCCH indicates that the state of the HARQ feedback function of HARQ ID 0 is an on state, terminal device 110 retransmits the second data using HARQ ID 0 on the third resource dynamically scheduled by the DCI in the PDCCH, starts a first configurable grant timer of HARQ ID 0, sets the first configurable grant timer to a first parameter value or a second parameter value, and stops the second configurable grant timer of HARQ ID 0. If DCI in the PDCCH indicates that the state of the HARQ feedback function of HARQ ID 0 is still in an off state, terminal device 110 retransmits the second data using HARQ ID 0 on the third resource dynamically scheduled by DCI in the PDCCH, and restarts a second configurable grant timer of HARQ ID 0, where the configurable grant timer is still the second parameter value. On the other hand, whether the DCI in the PDCCH indicates the current transmission of HARQ ID 0 or the current transmission and subsequent transmission of HARQ ID 0 changes the state of the HARQ feedback function of HARQ ID 0 is similar to the above example.

It can be seen that, in the usage method of the configuration grant timer described in the embodiment of the present application, in the case that the first data of the uplink HARQ process is transmitted on the first uplink resource configured by the network, the terminal device executes the control operation of the configuration grant timer of the uplink HARQ process according to the state of the HARQ feedback function of the uplink HARQ process, and is favorable for implementing the configuration manner and the usage method of the configuration grant timer of the uplink HARQ process under the condition that the NR communication system considers to turn on or turn off the HARQ feedback function of the uplink HARQ process, and is favorable for ensuring that the terminal device can correspondingly use the configuration grant timer according to the related configuration and scheduling operation of the network device.
