Description

Control resource allocation method, device and communication equipment

Technical Field

The present application belongs to the field of communication technologies, and in particular, to a method, an apparatus, and a communication device for controlling resource allocation.

Background

A New Radio (NR) system of 5G supports Carrier Aggregation (CA), may configure and activate multiple carriers (Component carriers, CCs) or cells for a User Equipment (UE), and supports cross-Carrier scheduling under CA.

When a UE is configured in a single carrier mode or a self-scheduling mode in CA, each CC or cell may configure a plurality of control resource sets (CORESET) and a plurality of Search Spaces (SSs), including Common Search Space (CSS) and UE-specific Search Space (USS). The network can flexibly configure the number of blind tests for each search space set, and the CORESET and the search space sets can be flexibly associated. The UE blindly detects a Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH) by using various Radio Network Temporary Identities (RNTIs) according to the configured CORESET and SS, demodulates DCI (Downlink Control Information, DCI), and obtains scheduling Information of each cell. Each DCI schedules data of one cell.

If the channel quality of some cells is not good enough or the channel blocking probability is high, the network may configure cross-carrier scheduling for the UE, that is, configure the control channel in other cells (e.g., primary cell, PCell) with good channel quality, to cross-carrier schedule data of other cells (e.g., secondary cell, SCell). The subcarrier bandwidths (SCS) of the scheduling cell (scheduled cell) and the scheduled cell (scheduled cell) may be the same or different. The scheduling cell may be in self-scheduling mode, where the cell only schedules itself. The scheduling cell may also schedule one or more other scheduled cells than itself if it is configured with cross-carrier scheduling. The scheduled cell has no PDCCH of its own, and can be scheduled by only one scheduling cell. In current NR systems, one cell can only be scheduled by one scheduling cell (i.e. can only be self-scheduled or scheduled by another cell), and the PCell can only be scheduled by the PCell itself.

For enhanced control channel coverage considerations, the PCell is typically deployed on a low-band carrier. On the other hand, the bandwidth of the low band carrier is insufficient and has been heavily deployed to other families (e.g., long term evolution, LTE). Due to the limited control resources in one scheduling cell, if the PDCCHs from two scheduling cells are monitored simultaneously, the complexity and power consumption of demodulation and implementation of the UE are greatly increased, and the hardware finished product of the UE is increased, which is not beneficial to the implementation of the UE.

The following describes in detail a control resource allocation method, an apparatus and a communication device provided in the embodiments of the present application with reference to the drawings.

As shown in fig. 2, at least one embodiment of the present application provides a method for controlling resource allocation, the method including:

It should be noted that, the allocation of the control resources mentioned in the embodiment of the present application may also be referred to as mapping of the control resources, and the blind detection may also be referred to as detection, which is not specifically limited herein.

In this embodiment, the Control resource may explain at least one of a Control Channel Element (CCE), a PDCCH candidate (PDCCH candidate), a search space, a Control resource set CORESET, downlink Control information DCI format, a Channel estimation resource, and a blind detection resource. The number of the control resources can also be interpreted as the number of blind detection times, and the budget for the number of the control resources can also be interpreted as the budget for blind detection, i.e. the budget for the number of blind detection times.

It should be noted that there may be a relationship between the different budgets mentioned in the embodiments of the present application. For example:

the budget of CCE or channel estimation may be related to the blind detection budget of PDCCH candidate; if the budget of CCE or channel estimation is less than or equal to the blind detection budget of PDCCH candidate, or the budget of CCE or channel estimation = n1 × the blind detection budget of PDCCH candidate, or the budget of CCE or channel estimation = n2 × the number of non-overlapping CCEs required for the blind detection budget of PDCCH candidate; n1 and n2 are preset values, and can also be values reported by the UE.

A time unit (e.g., any one of the first time unit to the ninth time unit) mentioned in the embodiments of the present application may be interpreted as one or more slots (slots) or occasions (occasions) or durations (spans) or periods or durations (durations) or symbols.

As an alternative embodiment, the first specific cell is a primary cell Pcell or a primary and secondary cell PScell, and the second specific cell is an Scell (which may be denoted as S-Scell). Alternatively, the first specific cell may be self-scheduling.

In at least one optional embodiment of the present application, the blind detection budget for the first time unit comprises: a first blind detection budget associated with a first cell over a first time unit; for example, when the first cell is Pcell, the first blind detection budget may be referred to as Z1p'; for another example, when the first cell is S-Scell, the first blind detection budget may be referred to as Z1S'.

In another optional embodiment of the present application, the blind detection budget for the second time unit comprises at least one of:

In at least one optional embodiment of the present application, the blind detection budget of the first time unit is used to limit at least one of the following (which may also be referred to as at least one condition that the communication device needs to satisfy when determining the allocation and/or blind detection of the control resource corresponding to the search space (of the first cell) in a specific or a certain or any first time unit):

the total number of control resources corresponding to the common search space (e.g., of the first cell) configured on the first time unit (e.g., guaranteed by the base station or assumed by the terminal) does not exceed the first blind detection budget; that is, the budget is not exceeded through reasonable configuration of the base station;

a total number of control resources corresponding to a common search space (e.g., of a first cell) allocated and/or blind detected over the first time unit does not exceed the first blind detection budget; that is, the control resource configured by the base station may exceed the budget, but the budget is guaranteed not to be exceeded during actual allocation and/or blind detection (for example, some control resources may need to be dropped through over-powering);

a total number of control resources corresponding to a common search space (e.g., of the first cell) allocated and/or blind detected over a sixth time unit does not exceed the first blind detection budget; the sixth time unit is: each sub-time unit in at least part of sub-time units corresponding to the second time unit associated with the first time unit; that is, the control resource configured by the base station may exceed the budget, but the budget is guaranteed not to be exceeded during actual allocation and/or blind detection (for example, some control resources may need to be dropped through over-powering);

a total number of control resources corresponding to common search spaces (e.g., of a first cell) and dedicated search spaces (e.g., of a first cell) allocated and/or blind detected over the first time unit does not exceed the first blind detection budget; that is, the control resource configured by the base station may exceed the budget, but is guaranteed not to exceed the budget when actually allocated and/or blindly detected (for example, some control resource may need to be dropped through over-boosting);

the total number of control resources corresponding to the common search space (e.g., of the first cell) and the dedicated search space (e.g., of the first cell) allocated and/or blind detected over the seventh time unit does not exceed the first blind detection budget; the seventh time unit is: each sub-time unit in at least part of sub-time units corresponding to the second time unit associated with the first time unit; that is, the control resource configured by the base station may exceed the budget, but is guaranteed not to exceed the budget when actually allocated and/or blindly detected (for example, some control resource may need to be dropped through over-boosting);

a total number of control resources corresponding to dedicated search spaces (e.g., of the first cell) allocated and/or blind detected over an eighth time unit does not exceed the first blind detection budget, where the eighth time unit is: each sub-time unit in at least part of sub-time units corresponding to the second time unit associated with the first time unit; that is, the control resources configured by the base station may exceed the budget, but the budget is not guaranteed to be exceeded when actually allocated and/or detected blindly (e.g., some control resources may need to be dropped through over-boosting).

It should be noted that the total number of control resources, the number of control resources, and the like mentioned in the embodiments of the present application may also be interpreted as the number of blind tests.

As an alternative embodiment, the first time unit is a time unit associated with the first cell; for example, the first time unit is a time unit corresponding to the first cell SCS, and if the first cell SCS is 30kHz, the first time unit is a time slot corresponding to 30 kHz.

Alternatively, the "second time unit associated with the first time unit" mentioned in the embodiments of the present application may be interpreted as a second time unit including the first time unit. For example, as shown in fig. 5, if the first time unit is slot6 corresponding to 30kHz, and the associated second time unit is slot3 corresponding to 15kHz, at this time, slot3 actually includes two first time units slot6 and slot7.

Optionally, in this embodiment, the "at least part of the sub-time units corresponding to the second time unit" may be interpreted as: the second time unit includes a first time unit in which a sub-time unit of the search space exists or is configured.

For example, assuming that the first time unit number is i, the second time unit number associated with the first time unit is floor (i/(2) ^u1-u2 ) + offset1 or floor ((i + offset 2)/(2)) ^u1-u2 ) ); 2^ u1 × 15kHz is used as a first cell SCS,2^ u2 × 15kHz is used as a second cell SCS, and ^ represents the power; wherein offset1, offset2 can be positive, 0 or negative; offset1 and offset2 may be interpreted as a timing difference of the first cell and the second cell, or may be interpreted as a time interval between system frame numbers SFN with the same number on the first cell and the second cell.

For another example, if the second time unit number associated with the first time unit is j, then j ^ (2) is defined on all the first time units corresponding to the second time unit ^u1-u2 )+offset1，j^(2 ^u1-u2 )+1+offset1，…，j^(2 ^u1-u2+1 ) -1 offset1; or is (j + offset 2) ^ (2) ^u1-u2 )，(j+offset2)^(2 ^u1-u2 )+1，…，(j+offset2)^(2 ^u1 ^-u2+1 ) -1; wherein 2 u1 × 15kHz is the first cell SCS, and 2 u2 × 15kHz is the second cell SCS. Wherein, the offset1 and the offset2 can be positive numbers, 0 or negative numbers.

In at least one optional embodiment of the present application, the blind detection budget of the second time unit is used to limit at least one of the following, which may also be referred to as determining that the allocation and/or blind detection of the control resource corresponding to the search space (e.g., of the first cell) in a specific or a certain or any second time unit satisfies at least one of the following conditions, and may also be referred to as that the allocation and/or the total number of blind detections of the control resource corresponding to the search space (e.g., of the first cell) in at least a part of the sub-time units corresponding to the second time unit satisfies at least one of the following conditions:

the total number of control resources (e.g., of the first cell) corresponding to the common search space CSS configured over/including the second time unit or at least a portion of the sub-time units corresponding to/included in the second time unit does not exceed the second blind detection budget (e.g., base station guarantees/user hypotheses);

the total number of control resources corresponding to the (actually) allocated and/or blind detected common search space CSS (e.g., of the first cell) over the second time unit or at least a portion of the sub-time units corresponding to/included in the second time unit does not exceed the second blind detection budget;

the total number of control resources corresponding to the CSS (e.g., of the first cell) and the USS (e.g., of the first cell) that are (actually) allocated and/or blind detected over the second time unit or at least a portion of the sub-time units corresponding to/included in the second time unit does not exceed a second blind detection budget;

the total number of control resources corresponding to the USS (e.g. of the first cell) that are (actually) allocated and/or blindly detected over the second time unit or at least part of the sub-time units corresponding to/included in the second time unit does not exceed the second blind detection budget.

not allocating and/or blind detecting at least part of control resources corresponding to the first search space in the first time unit;

not performing allocation and/or blind detection of at least part of control resources corresponding to the first search space on a second time unit associated with the first time unit;

at least part of sub-time units corresponding to a second time unit associated with the first time unit (for example, all first time units configuring the first search space within a second time unit range) are not allocated and/or blind checked for at least part of control resources corresponding to the first search space;

and continuously determining the allocation and/or blind detection of the control resource corresponding to the search space in the target time unit by referring to the second blind detection budget and/or the joint blind detection budget.

In this case, if the first search space is mapped in the first time unit and the first blind detection budget is not exceeded, the first search space may be allocated and/or blind detected in the first time unit.

The first search space is a search space of the first cell, such as a dedicated search space USS, which may be the first SS to which the control resource is mapped or allocated, or may be an SS to which the control resource has been mapped or allocated successfully.

It should be noted that, for sequence 1, the first time unit is any one first time unit; for sequence 2, the first time unit is at least one of the first time units corresponding to the second blind detection budget and/or the joint blind detection budget.

As another alternative embodiment, the determining, by the communications device, allocation and/or blind detection of the control resource corresponding to the search space in a time unit with reference to the first blind detection budget includes:

if after allocating and/or blind-detecting control resources corresponding to a first search space in a first time unit (or allocating control resources to the first search space in the first time unit), the total number of control resources allocated and/or blind-detected in the first time unit (for example, CSS and/or USS of a first cell) does not exceed the first blind-detection budget, the communication device allocates and/or blind-detects the control resources corresponding to the first search space in the first time unit, or determines allocation and/or blind-detection of the control resources corresponding to the search space in a target time unit with reference to the second blind-detection budget and/or the joint blind-detection budget;

alternatively, the first and second electrodes may be,

if the total number of control resources (for example, the CSS and/or USSs of the first cell) allocated and/or blind detected in the first time unit or in each sub-time unit of at least part of the sub-time units corresponding to the second time unit does not exceed the first blind detection budget after the control resources corresponding to the first search space are allocated and/or blind detected in the second time unit associated with the first time unit or in at least part of the sub-time units corresponding to the second time unit, the communication device determines at least one of:

and continuously determining the allocation and/or blind detection of the control resources corresponding to the search space in the target time unit by referring to the second blind detection budget and/or the joint blind detection budget.

For example, if the second time unit is a slot of 15kHz, and the first time unit is a slot of 60kHz, then the second time unit includes 4 first time units, and if the first search spaces are configured on the first and third first time units of the four first time units, if the total number of control resources in the two first time units respectively does not exceed the first blind detection budget after the first search spaces are allocated and/or blind detected, then the control resources in the first search spaces are allocated and/or blind detected in the two first time units, or in one of the two first time units.

In this embodiment, the communication device is no longer concerned that the second time unit will not meet the limitation of the second blind detection budget and/or the joint blind detection budget, and is more suitable for the case where the first blind detection budget is small.

As another alternative embodiment, the determining, by the communications device, allocation and/or blind detection of the control resource corresponding to the search space in the target time unit with reference to the second blind detection budget includes:

It should be noted that, for sequence 1, the second time unit mentioned in this embodiment is the second time unit associated with the target first time unit; with regard to the sequence 2, the second time unit mentioned in this embodiment is any one of the second time units.

It should be noted that, for sequence 1, the second time unit mentioned in this embodiment is the second time unit associated with the target first time unit; with respect to sequence 2, the second time unit mentioned in this embodiment is any one of the second time units. Since the second time unit is independent of the target first time unit in order 2, the communication device cannot determine resource allocation and/or blind detection on the target first time unit for order 2.

In order to more clearly describe the control resource allocation method provided in the embodiment of the present application, the following description is made with reference to a plurality of examples.

Example I, case of larger S-Scell SCS, sequence 1 is performed

As shown in fig. 6, 7 and 8, the S-Scell SCS is 30kHz (corresponding to the second row) and the Pcell SCS is 15kHz (corresponding to the first row), and the budget on each slot of S-Scell is z1S', and the numbers in the figures indicate the number of control resources allocated in each slot by different SSs. USS #1 and CSS #0 are respectively SS for self-scheduling on the Pcell, and USS #2 is SS for scheduling the Pcell by the S-Scell. Let z1=44, z1s =20, z1s' =24.

As shown in fig. 6, for the first time unit slot6, if the UE maps USS #2, the total number of control resources of the USS of the first cell in the first time unit slot6 is 24< = z1s', further optionally, there is no USS #2 in the first time unit slot7, that is, the total number of control resources in slot7 is 0, so that USS #2 may be mapped on two first time unit slots 6 and first time unit slots 7 corresponding to the second time unit 3. Further optionally, if USS #2 is mapped on first time unit slot6 and first time unit slot7, the limit of z1s and/or z1 is not exceeded, so that USS #2 is determined to be mapped on first time unit slot6 and first time unit slot7, that is, corresponding control resources are allocated to USS #2 on first time unit slot6 and first time unit slot7.

As shown in fig. 7, for the first time unit slot6, if the UE maps USS #2, the total control resource count of the USS of the first cell in the first time unit slot6 is 24< = z1s ', further optionally, if the UE maps USS #2, the total control resource count of the first time unit slot7 is 34> z1s', so that USS #2 may not be mapped on the two first time units slot6 and slot7 corresponding to the second time unit 3, that is, no control resource is allocated to USS #2 in the first time units slot6 and slot7. Alternatively, if the limitation of z1s and/or z1 is not exceeded after USS #2 is mapped on first time unit slot6 and USS #2 is not mapped on slot7, it may also be determined that USS #2 is mapped on first time unit slot6, that is, corresponding control resources are allocated to USS #2 on first time unit slot6, and corresponding control resources are not allocated to USS #2 on first time unit slot7.

As shown in fig. 8, for the first time unit slot6, if the UE maps USS #2, the total control resource count of the USS of the first cell on the first time unit slot6 is 24< = z1s ', further alternatively, if the UE maps USS #2, the total control resource count of the first time unit slot7 is 12< = z1s', so that USS #2 may be mapped on the two first time units slot6 and first time unit slot7 corresponding to the second time unit 3. Further optionally, if the limitation of z1s and/or z1 is exceeded after USS #2 is mapped on first time unit slot6 and first time unit slot7, it is determined that USS #2 is not mapped on first time unit slot6 and first time unit slot7, that is, corresponding control resources are not allocated to USS #2 on first time unit slot6 and first time unit slot7. Alternatively, if the limitation of z1s and/or z1 is not exceeded after USS #2 is mapped on first time unit slot6 and USS #2 is not mapped on slot7, it may also be determined that USS #2 is mapped on first time unit slot6, that is, corresponding control resources are allocated to USS #2 on first time unit slot6, and corresponding control resources are not allocated to USS #2 on first time unit slot7.

As shown in fig. 6, if USS #2 is mapped in first time unit slot6 and first time unit slot7, the limit of z1s and/or z1 is not exceeded, so that it is determined that USS #2 may possibly be mapped in first time unit slot6 and first time unit slot7, further optionally, for first time unit slot6, if the UE maps USS #2, the total number of control resources of the USS in the first cell in first time unit slot6 is 24< = z1s ', further optionally, there is no USS #2 in first time unit slot7, that is, the total number of control resources in slot7 is 0< = z1s', so that USS #2 may possibly be mapped in two first time unit slots 6 and first time unit slots 7 corresponding to second time unit 3, that is, that corresponding control resources are allocated to USS #2 in first time unit slot6 and first time unit slot7.

As shown in fig. 7, if USS #2 is mapped on first time unit slot6 and/or first time unit slot7, the limit of z1s and/or z1 may be exceeded, so as to determine that USS #2 may not be mapped on first time unit slot6 and/or first time unit slot7, further optionally, if the UE maps USS #2, first time unit slot7 controls that the total number of resources is 34> -z1s', so that USS #2 may not be mapped on two first time units slot6 and/or first time unit slot7 corresponding to second time unit 3, that is, no control resource is allocated to USS #2 on first time unit slot6 and/or first time unit slot7. Or, alternatively, if the limitation of z1s and/or z1 is not exceeded after USS #2 is mapped on first time unit slot6 and USS #2 is not mapped on slot7, it may also be determined that USS #2 is mapped on first time unit slot6, that is, corresponding control resources are allocated to USS #2 on first time unit slot6, and corresponding control resources are not allocated to USS #2 on first time unit slot7.

As shown in fig. 8, if USS #2 is mapped on first time unit slot6 and/or first time unit slot7, the limit of z1s and/or z1 may be exceeded, thereby determining that USS #2 may not be mapped on first time unit slot6 and/or first time unit slot7. Or, alternatively, if USS #2 is mapped on first time unit slot6 and USS #2 is not mapped on slot7, and then the limit of z1s and/or z1 is not exceeded, USS #2 may be mapped on first time unit slot6, and further optionally, for first time unit slot6, if UE maps USS #2, the total number of control resources of the USS of the first cell on first time unit slot6 is 24< = z1s', so as to determine that USS #2 is mapped on first time unit slot6, that is, corresponding control resources are allocated to USS #2 on first time unit slot6, and corresponding control resources are not allocated to USS #2 on first time unit slot7.

Example three, case of larger Pcell SCS, order 1 of execution

As shown in FIG. 9, FIG. 10, FIG. 11, the budget for each slot of Pcell is z1p' when Pcell SCS is 30kHz (for the second row) and S-Scell SCS is 15kHz (for the first row). The numbers in the figure represent the number of control resources configured in each slot at different SSs. USS #1 and CSS #0 are respectively SS for self-scheduling on the Pcell, and USS #2 is SS for scheduling the Pcell by the S-Scell. Let z1=44, z1p =20, z1p' =24.

As shown in fig. 9, for the first time unit slot6, if the UE maps USS #1, the total number of control resources of the USS of the first cell in the first time unit slot6 is 24< = z1p', further optionally, there is no USS #1 but CSS #0 in the first time unit slot7, that is, the total number of control resources in slot7 is 10+0=10, so that USS #1 may possibly be mapped on the two first time unit slots 6 and the first time unit slot7 corresponding to the second time unit 3. Further optionally, if USS #1 is mapped on first time unit slot6 and first time unit slot7, the total control resource number of the first cell in the corresponding second time unit =10+24=34. The total control resource number of two cells in the second time unit = =34+10=44, that is, the limit of z1p and/or z1 is not exceeded, so that it is determined that USS #1 is mapped on the first time unit slot6 and the first time unit slot7, that is, corresponding control resources are allocated to USS #1 on the first time unit slot6 and the first time unit slot7.

As shown in fig. 10, for the first time unit slot6, if the UE maps USS #1, the total number of control resources of the USS of the first cell on the first time unit slot6 is 24< = z1p ', further optionally, if the UE maps USS #1, the total number of control resources of the SS of the first cell on the first time unit slot7 is 34+10=44> z1p', so that USS #1 may not be mapped on the two first time units slot6 and slot7 corresponding to the second time unit 3, that is, no control resources are allocated to USS #1 on the first time unit slot6 and slot7. Alternatively, if the limitation of z1p and/or z1 is not exceeded after USS #1 is mapped on first time unit slot6 and USS #1 is not mapped on slot7, it may also be determined that USS #1 is mapped on first time unit slot6, that is, corresponding control resources are allocated to USS #1 on first time unit slot6, and corresponding control resources are not allocated to USS #1 on first time unit slot7.

As shown in fig. 11, for the first time unit slot6, if the UE maps USS #1, the total number of control resources of the USS of the first cell on the first time unit slot6 is 24< = z1p ', further optionally, if the UE maps USS #1, the total number of control resources of the SS of the first cell on the first time unit slot7 is 10+12=22< = z1p', so that USS #1 may be mapped on the two first time units slot6 and first time unit slot7 corresponding to the second time unit 3. Further optionally, if the limitation of z1p and/or z1 is exceeded after USS #1 is mapped on first time unit slot6 and first time unit slot7, it is determined that USS #1 is not mapped on first time unit slot6 and first time unit slot7, that is, corresponding control resources are not allocated to USS #1 on first time unit slot6 and first time unit slot7. Alternatively, if the limitation of z1p and/or z1 is not exceeded after USS #1 is mapped on first time unit slot6 and USS #1 is not mapped on slot7, it may also be determined that USS #1 is mapped on first time unit slot6, that is, corresponding control resources are allocated to USS #1 on first time unit slot6, and corresponding control resources are not allocated to USS #1 on first time unit slot7.

Example four, case of larger Pcell SCS, execution sequence 2

As shown in fig. 9, if USS #1 is mapped on first time unit slot6 and first time unit slot7, the total control resource number of the first cell =10+24=34 in the corresponding second time unit, and the total control resource number of the two cells =34+10=44 in the second time unit, that is, the limit of z1p and/or z1 is not exceeded, so as to determine that USS #1 may possibly be mapped on first time unit slot6 and first time unit slot7. Further optionally, for first time unit slot6, if the UE maps USS #1, the total number of control resources of the USS of the first cell in first time unit slot6 is 24< = z1p', and further optionally, there is no USS #1 but CSS #0 in first time unit slot7, that is, the total number of control resources in slot7 is 10+0=10, so that USS #1 may possibly be mapped on two first time units slot6 and first time unit slot7 corresponding to second time unit 3. That is, corresponding control resources are allocated to USS #1 in first time unit slot6 and first time unit slot7.

As shown in fig. 10, if USS #1 is mapped on first time unit slot6 and/or first time unit slot7, the limitation of z1p and/or z1 may be exceeded, thereby determining that USS #1 may not be mapped on first time unit slot6 and/or first time unit slot7, and further optionally, if the UE maps USS #1, the total number of control resources of first time unit slot7 is 34> z1p', thereby USS #2 may not be mapped on two first time unit slots 6 and/or first time unit slots 7 corresponding to second time unit 3, that is, no control resources are allocated for USS #2 on first time unit slot6 and/or first time unit slot7. Alternatively, if the limitation of z1p and/or z1 is not exceeded after USS #1 is mapped on first time unit slot6 and USS #1 is not mapped on slot7, it may also be determined that USS #1 is mapped on first time unit slot6, that is, corresponding control resources are allocated to USS #1 on first time unit slot6, and corresponding control resources are not allocated to USS #1 on first time unit slot7.

As shown in fig. 11, if USS #1 is mapped on first time unit slot6 and/or first time unit slot7, the limit of z1p and/or z1 may be exceeded, thereby determining that USS #1 may not be mapped on first time unit slot6 and/or first time unit slot7. Or, alternatively, if USS #1 is mapped on first time unit slot6, and USS #1 is not mapped on slot7, and then the limit of z1p and/or z1 is not exceeded, USS #1 may be mapped on first time unit slot6, and further optionally, for first time unit slot6, if UE maps USS #2, the total number of control resources of the USS of the first cell on first time unit slot6 is 24< = z1p', so as to determine that USS #2 is mapped on first time unit slot6, that is, corresponding control resources are allocated to USS #2 on first time unit slot6, and corresponding control resources are not allocated to USS #2 on first time unit slot7.

Example five, after a mapping/allocation failure on a first time unit, whether other first time units can continue to check

As shown in FIG. 12, the S-Scell SCS is 30kHz (corresponding to the second row) and the Pcell SCS is 15kHz (corresponding to the first row), and the budget in each slot of S-Scell is z1S', and the numbers in the figure represent the number of control resources allocated in each slot by different SSs. USS #1css #0 is a SS of self-scheduling on Pcell, respectively. USS #2 schedules the SS of Pcell for S-Scell. Let z1=44, z1s =20, z1s' =24.

It can be seen that if mapping USS #2 would exceed zp1' in the slot6 of the first time unit, it may be checked whether the mapping USS #2 can be continued in the slot7, or whether the mapping USS #2 can be continued in the remaining first time unit in the slot 3.

Example six, traversal order of first time cell and SS ID

If each second time unit corresponds to/includes two time units, when determining the mapping/allocation of the control resource of the SS, the following implementation method can be used

Method 1 for a time unit, first traverse the SS

As shown in fig. 12, each second time unit corresponds to/includes two time units, and when determining the mapping/allocation of the control resource of the SS, the following implementation method may be used:

in the method 1, for a time unit, the SS is traversed firstly;

taking the second time unit slot3 as an example, first, for the first time unit slot6 corresponding to the second time unit slot3, respectively checking whether all SSs can be mapped, for example, sequentially checking whether each SS can be mapped according to the size order of SS IDs, and then checking whether all SSs in the first time unit 7 can be mapped;

in the method 2, for an SS, all time units are traversed firstly;

taking the second time unit slot3 as an example, for USS #2, it is checked first whether it can be mapped in the first time unit slot6, then it is checked whether it can be mapped in the first time unit slot7, after the check, it is checked whether other SSs can be mapped in the first time unit slot6 and the first time unit slot7, for example, USS #3, USS #4 …, etc. are sequentially checked according to the size order of SS IDs, and whether they are mapped in the first time unit slot6 and the first time unit slot7, respectively.

Example seven, after the mapping/allocation fails in the first time unit, whether the SS with larger ID remains can be checked

As shown in FIG. 12, the S-Scell SCS is 30kHz (corresponding to the second row), the Pcell SCS is 15kHz (corresponding to the first row), and the budget on each slot of S-Scell is z1S', and the number in the figure represents the number of control resources configured in each slot by different SSs. USS #1css #0 is a SS of self-scheduling on Pcell, respectively. USS #2 schedules the SS of Pcell for S-Scell. Let z1=44, z1s =20, z1s' =24.

It can be seen that if mapping USS #2 would exceed zp1' in the first time unit slot6, it is still possible to check whether the first SS can be mapped in the first time unit slot 6. Optionally, it may also be possible to continue checking whether USS #2 and/or first SS can continue to be mapped on slot7, or none of the remaining first time units in second time unit slot3 can continue to be checked for USS #2 and/or first SS. Where the first SS is an SS with an SS ID greater than USS #2. For example, USS #3USS #4, etc.
