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 invention.

The names appearing in the present application are explained first below.

A downlink control channel (PDCCH) is a set of physical resource elements (rbs) and is used for carrying scheduling and other control information.

The transmission configuration indication (TCI state) is a system for reducing the hybrid use of automatic repeat-request (ARQ) and Forward Error Correction (FEC) codes in most packet transmission systems.

In a wireless communication system, a terminal device may obtain information such as a physical resource location occupied by Downlink Control Information (DCI) and a resource size occupied by DCI by blind busy detection of a Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH).

However, when the control channels are transmitted for multiple times, if multiple control channels schedule the same scheduled channel, it cannot be guaranteed that the physical channels indicated by the multiple control channels have the same resource allocation.

In order to solve the above problem, in the present application, multiple control channels sent by a network device are set as physical channels which are the same in scheduling, and due to the fact that the scheduled channels are the same, it is further achieved that the physical channels indicated by the multiple control channels have the same resource allocation when the multiple control channels schedule the same scheduled channel.

As shown in fig. 1, a terminal device 101 and a network device 102 communicate with each other, and the terminal device 101 receives at least one control channel of a plurality of control channels sent by the network device 102, and may further obtain a time domain resource of a first control channel and determine a time domain position of a scheduled channel. Because the multiple control channels sent by the network device 102 are set to schedule the same physical channel, it is further achieved that the physical channels indicated by the multiple control channels have the same resource allocation when the multiple control channels schedule the same scheduled channel.

The number of the terminal devices 101 and the number of the network devices 102 included in the communication system are not limited in the embodiment of the present application.

It should be noted that the application scenario shown in fig. 1 is only one available scenario of the present application, and the present application may also be applied to any other scenario that requires multiple control channels to be transmitted.

The following describes the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application in detail with specific embodiments, taking network devices and terminal devices as examples. The following several specific embodiments may be combined with each other, and details of the same or similar concepts or processes may not be repeated in some embodiments.

Fig. 2 is a signaling interaction diagram of a communication method according to an embodiment of the present application. The embodiment relates to a process of how a terminal device and a network device interact. As shown in fig. 2, the method includes:

s201, the terminal device receives at least one control channel in a plurality of control channels sent by the network device, and the plurality of control channels schedule the same physical channel.

The terminal device may receive one of the multiple control channels sent by the network device, may also receive a part of the multiple control channels sent by the network device, and may also receive all the control channels sent by the network device, which is not limited in this embodiment of the present application.

In some embodiments, the starting position of the time domain resource of the at least two transmitted control channels of the plurality of control channels is different.

The embodiment of the present application is also not limited to the type of the control channel, and may be, for example, a PDCCH. Correspondingly, the embodiment of the present application also does not limit the type of the channel scheduled by the control channel, and for example, the channel scheduled by the control channel is a Physical Downlink Shared Channel (PDSCH) or a Physical Uplink Shared Channel (PUSCH) or a Physical Uplink Control Channel (PUCCH).

In some embodiments, if the channel scheduled by the control channel is PUCCH, the PUCCH is used to carry positive Acknowledgement (ACK)/Negative Acknowledgement (NACK) information of the PDSCH.

In an optional implementation manner, after receiving the at least one of the plurality of control channels, the terminal device may detect the at least one of the plurality of control channels. For example, the terminal device may detect only one control channel, may detect some of a plurality of control channels, and may detect all of the plurality of control channels. In some embodiments, the terminal device may stop detecting after detecting a control channel.

In some embodiments, the network device may transmit the plurality of control channels to the terminal device via at least one transmission configuration indication.

In this application, since the plurality of control channels transmitted by the network device schedule the same physical channel, the physical channels indicated by the plurality of control channels have the same resource allocation.

In an alternative embodiment, the control channel is associated with a first identifier, and the first identifier is associated with a first time interval, where the first time interval is a time interval from the multiple control channels to the receiving time of the corresponding scheduled channel.

For example, if the first identifiers associated with the plurality of control channels are the same, the plurality of control channels are configured such that at least one first time interval is smaller than a first threshold value and at least one first time interval is larger than the first threshold value.

For example, if the first identifiers associated with the multiple control channels are different, the multiple control channels are configured such that the first time intervals are all greater than a first threshold value or the first time intervals are all less than the first threshold value.

The first identifier is a control resource set identifier or a control resource set pool identifier. The network device dynamically indicates or statically indicates or pre-configures the first identifier. The first threshold value is determined through network equipment configuration or through terminal equipment reporting.

In the communication method and apparatus provided in the embodiment of the present application, a network device sends a plurality of control channels to a terminal device, the terminal device receives at least one control channel of the plurality of control channels, and the plurality of control channels schedule the same physical channel. By the method, the plurality of control channels sent by the network equipment all have the same physical channel, so that the physical channels indicated by the plurality of control channels can be ensured to have the same resource allocation.

On the basis of the above embodiment, if the network device sends multiple control channels to the terminal device, correspondingly, multiple time domain resources transmitted by the control channels exist, and the terminal device cannot determine the positions of the time domain resources of the channels scheduled by the control channels. Two ways how the terminal device determines the location of the time domain resources of the channel scheduled by the control channel are provided below.

Fig. 3 is a signaling interaction diagram of another communication method according to an embodiment of the present application. As shown in fig. 3, on the basis of the above embodiment, the method includes:

s301, the terminal device receives at least one control channel in a plurality of control channels sent by the network device, and the plurality of control channels schedule the same physical channel.

The terminology, technical effects, technical features, and alternative embodiments of S301 can be understood with reference to S201 shown in fig. 2, and repeated descriptions will not be repeated here.

S302, the terminal device detects a first control channel in at least one control channel, and obtains time domain resources of the first control channel.

In this step, after the terminal device receives a first control channel of the multiple control channels sent by the network device, the first control system computer may be detected, so as to obtain the time domain resource of the first control channel.

It should be noted that, if the terminal device receives only one first control channel, only the control channel is detected, and if the terminal device receives a plurality of first control channels, all the received first control channels are detected.

In an optional implementation manner, the network device detects the at least one control channel at a time corresponding to the at least one control channel according to a state of the transmission configuration indication configured by the network device.

The embodiment of the present application does not limit how to demodulate the first control channel, and any detection mode of the control channel may be adopted. In some embodiments, detecting the first control channel of the at least one control channel may specifically be demodulating the first control channel of the at least one control channel.

For example, the terminal device may set the channel filtering parameter using the tc state indicated by the network device to correctly demodulate the first control channel.

S303, the terminal device determines a first time domain offset from the control channel to the scheduled channel according to the first control channel.

In this application, after acquiring the time domain resource of the first control channel, the terminal device may determine, according to the first control channel, a first time domain offset from the control channel to the scheduled channel.

In the embodiment of the present application, how to determine the first time domain offset from the control channel to the scheduled channel is not limited, and for example, the terminal device determines the first time domain offset from the start position of the control channel to the start position of the scheduled channel. Illustratively, the terminal device determines a first time domain offset from a symbol corresponding to a starting position of the control channel to a symbol of the scheduling channel. Illustratively, the terminal device determines a first time domain offset from a slot in which the control channel is located to a slot (slot) in which the scheduled channel is located.

Wherein, the unit of the first time domain offset is an orthogonal frequency division multiplexing multi-carrier modulation symbol or a time slot.

In some embodiments, the first time domain offset is a time domain offset of a second control channel to the scheduled channel, the second control channel being one of a plurality of control channels of the repeated transmission.

Wherein multiple control channels are transmitted repeatedly. Accordingly, the second control channel and the first control channel are control channels that are repeatedly transmitted.

In some embodiments, the second control channel is indicated by the network device. In some embodiments, the second control channel is the earliest transmitted control channel or the latest transmitted control channel or any control channel in between of the plurality of control channels that are repeatedly transmitted. In some embodiments, the network device dynamically indicates or statically indicates or pre-configures the second control channel.

S304, the terminal device determines a second time domain offset according to the first control channel and the second control channel, wherein the second time domain offset is the time domain offset from the first control channel to the second control channel.

In this step, a first time domain offset from the control channel to the scheduled channel is determined at the terminal device, and a second time domain offset may be determined according to the first control channel and the second control channel.

In an optional embodiment, the time domain shifting of the first control channel to the second control channel includes: the time domain offset from the starting position of the first control channel to the starting position of the second control channel or the time domain offset from the time slot of the first control channel to the time slot of the second control channel.

S305, the terminal device determines the time domain position of the scheduled channel according to the first time domain offset, the second time domain offset and the time domain resource of the first control channel.

In this step, after the device in the terminal determines the first time domain offset and the second time domain offset, the time domain position of the scheduled channel may be determined according to the first time domain offset, the second time domain offset, and the time domain resource of the first control channel.

Illustratively, the second control channel, the first control channel, and the scheduling channel are transmitted at t0, t1, and t2, respectively, t2-t0 can be determined by the first time domain offset, and t1-t0 can be determined by the second time domain offset, so that the time domain position t2 of the scheduled channel is (t2-t0) - (t1-t 0).

In an alternative embodiment, the terminal device receives or transmits the channel scheduled by the control channel at the position of the time domain resource of the channel scheduled by the control channel.

In the communication method provided by the embodiment of the present application, the terminal device receives at least one control channel of a plurality of control channels sent by the network device, and the plurality of control channels schedule the same physical channel. Then, the terminal device detects a first control channel in the at least one control channel, and acquires a time domain resource of the first control channel. The terminal device determines a first time domain offset of the control channel to the scheduled channel according to the first control channel. And the terminal equipment determines a second time domain offset according to the first control channel and the second control channel, wherein the second time domain offset is the time domain offset from the first control channel to the second control channel. And the terminal equipment determines the time domain position of the scheduled channel according to the first time domain offset, the second time domain offset and the time domain resource of the first control channel. By this way, if the network device sends multiple control channels, the terminal device can determine the position of the time domain resource of the channel scheduled by the control channel through any one of the multiple control channels, so that the terminal device can receive or transmit the channel scheduled by the repeated control channel at the correct time domain position.

On the basis of the above embodiments, another way of determining the location of the time domain resources of the channel scheduled by the control channel is provided below. Fig. 4 is a signaling interaction diagram of another communication method according to an embodiment of the present application. As shown in fig. 4, on the basis of the above embodiment, the method includes:

s401, the terminal equipment receives at least one control channel in a plurality of control channels sent by the network equipment, and the plurality of control channels schedule the same physical channel.

S402, the terminal device detects a first control channel in at least one control channel and obtains time domain resources of the first control channel.

Technical terms, technical effects, technical features, and alternative embodiments of S401 to S402 can be understood with reference to S301 to S302 shown in fig. 2, and repeated descriptions thereof will not be repeated here.

S403, the terminal device determines a first time domain offset from the control channel to the scheduled channel according to the first control channel.

In an alternative embodiment, the first time domain offset is a time domain offset of the first control channel to the scheduled channel.

In another alternative embodiment, the first time domain offset is a time domain offset from a third control channel to a scheduled channel, and the third control channel and the first control channel have different starting transmission positions.

S404, the terminal equipment determines the time domain position of the scheduled channel according to the first time domain offset and the time domain resource of the first control channel.

In this step, after determining the first time domain offset from the control channel to the scheduled channel, the terminal device may determine the time domain position of the scheduled channel according to the first time domain offset and the time domain resource of the first control channel.

Illustratively, the first control channel, the scheduled channel, and the third control channel are transmitted at time t0, time t1, and time t2, respectively. When the time domain resource at the time point t0 is known, and if the first time domain offset is t1-t0, the corresponding position t1 of the scheduled channel is (t1-t0) -t 0; if the first time domain offset is t2-t1, the corresponding position t1 of the scheduled channel is (t2-t0) - (t2-t1) + t 0.

In an alternative embodiment, the terminal device may receive or transmit the channel scheduled by the control channel at the location of the time domain resource of the channel scheduled by the control channel.

In the communication method provided in the embodiment of the present application, the terminal device receives at least one control channel of multiple control channels sent by the network device, and the multiple control channels schedule the same physical channel. The terminal equipment detects a first control channel in at least one control channel and obtains time domain resources of the first control channel. The terminal device determines a first time domain offset of the control channel to the scheduled channel according to the first control channel. And determining the time domain position of the scheduled channel according to the first time domain offset and the time domain resource of the first control channel. By this way, if the network device sends multiple control channels, the terminal device can determine the position of the time domain resource of the channel scheduled by the control channel through any one of the multiple control channels, so that the terminal device can receive or transmit the channel scheduled by the repeated control channel at the correct time domain position.
