It should be understood that the terms "system" and "network" are used interchangeably herein. The term "and/or" is herein merely an association relationship describing an associated object, meaning that there may be three relationships, e.g., a and/or B, may represent: a exists alone, A and B exist together, and B exists alone. In addition, the character "/" herein generally indicates that the front and rear associated objects are an "or" relationship.

In order to clearly illustrate the idea of an embodiment of the present application, a brief description will be first given of the processing procedure of resource transmission and HARQ processes in a communication system.

In the art, a terminal UE may receive a Dynamic Grant (DG) resource dynamically scheduled by a network side during a service process, where the dynamic grant may be a grant scheduled by a physical downlink control channel (Physical downlink control channel, PDCCH) scrambled by a cell radio network temporary identifier (Cell Radio Network Temporary Identifier, C-RNTI), and the DG resource dynamically scheduled corresponds to one HARQ process, for example, HARQ process 1, and if the grant used in the HARQ process 1 is a grant (CG) resource configured before the dynamic scheduling, in this case, the UE considers that a CG retransmission scheduled by a configured RNTI (Configured Scheduling RNTI) or a new data indication field (New Data Indicator, NDI) is present for a CG new transmission, and therefore, the UE considers the current dynamic scheduling as a new transmission scheduling, and starts (or restarts) a CG timer (configured grant timer, CG timer). Based on this, the UE sends DG resource information of the current dynamic schedule and corresponding HARQ information (e.g., HARQ process 1) to the HARQ entity, determining to use DG resources for transmission on HARQ process 1.

It should be noted that, since the requirements of the existing system are not obvious, the situation that data collision may occur in the service processing is not considered in the processing procedure of the resource transmission and the HARQ process.

In particular, in the art, there may be various situations of "collision", such as: a collision between data channels, a collision between data information and data information, a collision between resources may occur, and in particular, a collision between DG resources and DG resources, a collision between DG resources and CG resources, a collision between CG resources and CG resources, or the like may occur.

The inventors of the present application have intensively studied and found that if collision occurs between a plurality of grant resources, particularly between DG resources and CG resources, there is a possibility that the HARQ processes of the plurality of grant collide with each other. In practical applications, problems are caused by this, and the following will describe the problems in detail.

Specifically, if a plurality of resources collide, the mutually-collided resources may overlap in the time domain (or in the frequency domain), in which case, the respective corresponding plurality of HARQ processes may be different, or at least two HARQ processes may appear to be identical, and if so, the HARQ process collision may be considered to occur.

In addition, in addition to the above-described HARQ process collision may occur when a plurality of resources collide, in the case where there is no resource collision, HARQ process collision may also occur. For example, although the time domain positions of two resources do not overlap, the two resources are closer together, and there is a possibility that the two resources correspond to the same HARQ process, and HARQ process collision occurs.

More specifically, in the resource transmission process of the UE, in the case that the first resource is not packetized, not transmitted or not transmitted, the UE may receive the dynamically scheduled second resource again, and may also have a third resource become available, where the HARQ process of the second resource or the available third resource may be the same as the HARQ process of the first resource.

For example, at time t1, the UE determines to use CG resource transmission, which may be denoted as grant 1 is available, and the HARQ process number of its corresponding HARQ process is "HARQ process id 1";

then, at time t2 (t 2 > t 1), the UE receives a dynamically scheduled DG resource scheduled by the network, which may be denoted as grant 2, where the HARQ process number of the HARQ process corresponding to grant 2 is also "HARQ process id 1", and HARQ process collision occurs;

at this time, CG resources (grant 1) and DG resources (grant 2) are available, but CG resources have not been packetized, not transmitted, or not transmitted, dynamically scheduled DG resources also need to be transmitted, and HARQ processes for both resources are the same.

Then, if one of the resources uses this HARQ process, it is ambiguous whether the other resource is also able to use the process, and further whether the other resource is also able to transmit normally. If the situation of the HARQ process conflict cannot be properly handled, or two resources in the HARQ process conflict cannot be properly handled, the UE end and the network end cannot definitely act with each other, so that repeated analysis and analysis are disordered, and the overall performance of the system is impaired.

To this end, an embodiment of the present application provides a method for processing a conflict, referring to fig. 2, the method includes:

s101, when a conflict exists between a hybrid automatic repeat request HARQ process corresponding to a first resource and a HARQ process corresponding to a second resource, the terminal equipment determines that the first resource or the second resource is used as a transmission resource.

The proposal of the embodiment of the application considers the situation that a plurality of resources generate HARQ process conflict, and definitely determines that the terminal equipment can select the resources to be used for transmission in the plurality of resources when encountering the situation, and can not cause the confliction of the resource analysis because of the HARQ process conflict, thereby definitely determining the behavior of the terminal equipment, reducing the network complexity and improving the system performance.

The embodiment of the application is applicable to various specific scenes, and can be the case that conflict exists between the first resource and the second resource (such as superposition of time domain positions of the two resources); it may also be the case that there is no conflict between the first resource and the second resource, i.e. the case of a general resource allocation. The reason is that in practical applications, such as a time-sensitive network system, no matter whether resource conflict occurs, HARQ process conflict may occur, and the embodiments of the present application are applicable to such situations and situations.

The HARQ process collision mentioned in the embodiment of the present application may be understood as at least one of the following descriptions:

● First description: the HARQ process corresponding to the first resource and the HARQ process corresponding to the second resource are the same HARQ process;

● The second description: the HARQ process number of the HARQ process corresponding to the first resource is the same as the HARQ process number of the HARQ process corresponding to the second resource.

Both the above descriptions indicate that the HARQ process where the first resource is configured is the same as the HARQ process where the second resource is configured, for example, the first resource may be configured to transmit on the HARQ process with HARQ process number 6, and at the same time, the second resource is also configured to transmit on the HARQ process with HARQ process number 6, that is, the HARQ processes corresponding to the two resources are the same HARQ process, and then the HARQ process collision is considered to occur, and the scheme of the embodiment of the present application needs to be adopted to handle the collision.

The implementation of the various embodiments of the present application will be described in detail below with respect to the transmission of different resource types.

In a first aspect, the embodiment of the present application considers that the first resource includes a configuration grant CG resource, and the second resource includes a dynamic grant DG resource, and a situation and a conflict handling scheme that may occur in a service processing are described below.

Referring to fig. 3, in one embodiment of the present application, the conflict processing method includes the steps of:

s201, terminal equipment receives configuration information and/or activation information corresponding to CG resources;

s202, a terminal device receives resource scheduling information, wherein the resource scheduling information is used for scheduling DG resources;

s203, the HARQ process corresponding to the CG resource collides with the HARQ process corresponding to the DG resource, and the terminal equipment determines that the DG resource is used as a transmission resource.

That is, after the terminal device receives the configuration information and/or the activation information of the CG resource, the terminal device will generally use the CG resource to transmit through the HARQ process configured by the network.

However, in the embodiment of the present application, the difference is that after the terminal device configures CG resources, it also receives resource scheduling information for dynamically scheduling DG resources by the network, and schedules DG resources for transmission; further, the CG resource has HARQ process collision with the DG resource currently scheduled.

In the above collision scenario, the terminal device in the embodiment of the present application will determine to use DG resources as transmission resources. In another embodiment, the terminal device may further select the DG resource for transmission according to network indication information or predefined information.

It can be seen that when the HARQ process of the CG resource collides with the HARQ process of the DG resource, the terminal device in the embodiment of the present application determines to use the DG resource as a transmission resource, or preferably selects the DG resource for transmission, so as to make the behavior of the terminal device in the corresponding scenario clear, that is, use DG resource transmission or preferably use DG resource transmission. Correspondingly, the network device also clarifies the above behavior of the terminal device, so that confusion caused by HARQ process conflict can be avoided during resource scheduling and analysis, network complexity can be reduced, and the requirement of service quality (Quality of Service, qoS) of the service to be transmitted can be met to the greatest extent.

In the embodiment of the application, the resource scheduling information can be used for scheduling DG resources for data retransmission and also can be used for scheduling DG resources for data new transmission, and is suitable for the conflict resolution mechanism of the embodiment of the application.

Specifically, if the network device determines that data is needed to be newly transmitted (or data is retransmitted), DCI with NDI flipped (or not flipped) is issued to the terminal device, and the resource scheduling information includes the DCI, the terminal device can determine whether the data is newly transmitted or retransmitted this time according to the NDI information. Of course, in other embodiments, DG resources may also be retransmission scheduled for CS-RNTI, and ndi=1 at this time. The embodiment of the present application is not particularly limited thereto.

Taking the first resource as CG resource and the second resource as DG resource as an example, if there is an HARQ process conflict between the two resources, the resource type selected by the terminal device further solves the problem how to complete transmission by the HARQ process for the two subsequent resources, or whether the two resources still transmit, and the like, and is described in detail in the following embodiments.

In the embodiment of the present application, if two resources have a process conflict, the first resource and the second resource correspond to the same HARQ process, hereinafter referred to as a first HARQ process, and after the terminal device determines that the second resource is used, at least one of the following multiple processing manners may be further adopted for processing.

Mode one:

for the second resource, the terminal device uses the second resource to transmit data on the first HARQ process.

Mode two:

for a first resource, the terminal device uses the first resource to transmit data on a second HARQ process; wherein the second HARQ process is not the same HARQ process as the first HARQ process.

Mode three:

for the first resource, the terminal equipment uses the first resource to transmit data on a third HARQ process; wherein the third HARQ process comprises a buffer-available HARQ process.

Mode four:

for the first resource, the terminal equipment uses the first resource to transmit data on a fourth HARQ process; the difference between the HARQ process number of the fourth HARQ process and the HARQ process number of the first HARQ process is K, where K is an integer, and the value of K may be a predefined value, may be indicated by a network, or may be determined by the terminal device.

Mode five:

for the first resource, the terminal device does not use the first resource as a transmission resource, or does not transmit the first resource.

In addition, for each processing manner, the terminal device may also send HARQ process information currently used by the first resource and/or the second resource to the network device.

Taking the first resource as CG resource as an example, after determining the HARQ process corresponding to the CG resource, the MAC PDU generated by the CG resource may be placed in the HARQ process (e.g., the second HARQ process, the third HARQ process, or the fourth HARQ process), and HARQ process information used for transmission of the CG resource is indicated to the base station through a new MAC CE or dedicated information (e.g., codebook information, scrambling code information, etc.) in the MAC PDU.

The HARQ process information of the resources can be updated in time based on the processing network side.

In a second aspect, the embodiment of the present application further considers a processing scheme when the first resource includes CG resources, the second resource also includes CG resources, and HARQ process collision occurs between the CG resources and the CG resources.

Specifically, the terminal device may select one of the two CG resources as the transmission resource to be used according to a preset rule or according to the first network indication information. Wherein the preset rule or the first network indication information may include at least one of the following:

the terminal equipment can be selected, for example, the terminal equipment can be realized on the basis of the terminal equipment, and can also adopt a proper algorithm and the like for selection;

randomly selecting;

selecting CG resources corresponding to the MAC PDU which has completed the packet;

selecting a CG resource that is available first;

CG resources available after selection;

selecting CG resource for retransmission;

selecting CG resource with maximum loadable data quantity;

selecting CG resource with highest priority for carrying logic channel LCH;

selecting CG resource with highest loadable service priority;

selecting CG resource capable of bearing specific service;

selecting CG resource with highest priority;

selecting CG resources with a particular identity (e.g., priority transmission identity, etc.);

Selecting CG resources with the smallest resource identification (e.g., CG index);

the CG resource with the largest resource identification (e.g., CG index) is selected.

In a third aspect, the embodiment of the present application further considers a processing scheme when the first resource includes DG resources, the second resource also includes DG resources, and HARQ process collision occurs between the two.

Specifically, the terminal device may select one of the two DG resources as the transmission resource to be used according to a preset rule or according to the second network indication information. Wherein the preset rule or the second network indication information may include at least one of:

randomly selecting;

selecting DG resources corresponding to the MAC PDU which has completed the packet;

the DG resource that arrives first is selected,

DG resources arrived after selection;

selecting a retransmission scheduling DG resource;

selecting DG resources with the largest loadable data volume;

selecting DG resources with highest priority capable of bearing LCH;

selecting DG resources with highest loadable service priority;

selecting DG resources capable of bearing specific services;

selecting DG resources with highest priority;

Selecting DG resources having a particular identity (e.g., a priority transmission identity, etc.);

selecting DG resources with the smallest resource identification (e.g., DG index);

the DG resource with the largest resource identification (e.g., DG index) is selected.

Based on the description of the above embodiments, it can be seen that the conflict solution of the embodiment of the present application can be widely applied to a scenario in which HARQ process conflicts occur between different types of resources or between resources of the same type, and the behavior of the terminal device can be clarified.

The implementation of the embodiments of the present application is described below by way of two specific examples.

Example 1: DG resources for retransmission and CG resources for new transmission

In this embodiment, first, the UE receives CG resources configured by the network device through radio resource control (Radio Resource Control, RRC), where CG index corresponding to the CG resources is 1, and HARQ process numbers of configured HARQ processes are HARQ process id1 and HARQ process id2.

At time t1, the UE determines that the configured CG resource is available, and at this time selects or determines that the CG index 1 resource, i.e., grant 1, corresponds to a HARQ process id of 1, e.g., CG resource is used for transmitting de-prioritized deprioritized MAC PDU, i.e., MAC PDU that was previously packetized but not transmitted due to resource collision.

At time t2, the UE receives a DG schedule, the scheduled HARQ process being HARQ process id1, and the DG is a retransmission schedule, e.g. also used for retransmitting said deprioritized MAC PDU. At this time, there may or may not be a resource conflict between DG resources and CG resources.

In case of a collision of the HARQ processes, the UE selects a resource for transmission or selects a resource for transmission using the collision process, as follows:

when the HARQ processes of DG resources and CG resources collide, namely, the first HARQ process of the HARQ process id1 is adopted, DG resource transmission is used or DG resource transmission is prioritized.

Accordingly, CG resources may not be used, but may also be used. Specifically, MAC PDUs generated corresponding to CG resources may be placed in the second HARQ process. The second HARQ process should satisfy at least one of the following conditions:

(1) different from the first HARQ process;

(2) is a HARQ process for which HARQ buffers are available (HARQ buffer available);

((3) the difference from the HARQ process number of the first HARQ process is K, K being an integer, K being a predefined value, indicated by the network or determined by said terminal device.

Further, the HARQ id currently used by the CG resource of the base station may be indicated by a new MAC CE or dedicated information in the MAC PDU.

Finally, in case of this HARQ process collision, the UE transmits using the selected DG resource.

Example 2: DG resources for new transfers and CG resources for new transfers

At time t2, the UE receives a DG schedule, the scheduled HARQ process is process id1, and the DG is a new transmission schedule, e.g., the network side does not need to receive the deprioritized MAC PDU any more, but needs to receive a new data transmission. At this time, there may or may not be a resource conflict between DG resources and CG resources.

(1) different from the first HARQ process;

(3) the difference from the HARQ process number of the first NARQ process is K, K being an integer, K being a predefined value, indicated by the network or determined by the terminal device.

The specific arrangements and implementations of embodiments of the present application have been described above in terms of various embodiments. By utilizing at least one embodiment, it is clear that when the terminal equipment encounters the situation that the HARQ process conflict occurs in different resources, the resources to be used for transmission can be selected from the different resources, and the resource analysis confusion caused by the HARQ process conflict is avoided. The embodiment of the application can be used for defining the behaviors of the terminal equipment and the network equipment, reducing the network complexity and improving the system performance to a certain extent.
