In embodiments of the present disclosure, non-terrestrial/terrestrial communication (non-terrestrial network, NTN) may provide wireless resources through satellite or drone or like devices rather than terrestrial base stations.

In some embodiments, NTNs may be divided into a transmission mode and a regeneration mode, depending on the manner in which the satellite processes the signal. In the transparent mode, the NTN ground station may transmit the signal of the gNB to the satellite, and the satellite converts the signal to a satellite frequency band and transmits the signal to the terminal through the satellite frequency band, where the satellite does not demodulate the gNB signal except for frequency conversion and signal amplification, similar to a repeater (repeater). In the regeneration mode, after the NTN ground station transmits the signal of the gNB to the satellite, the satellite demodulates and decodes the signal, and then re-encodes and modulates, that is, regenerates, and transmits the regenerated signal through the satellite frequency band.

In some embodiments, coverage enhancements to NTN may include enhancements to HARQ-ACK (hybrid automatic repeat request-ACK) for random access message 4 (Msg 4). Alternatively, the HARQ ACK for Msg4 may be transmitted by multiple repetitions (repetition).

In some embodiments, the network device may configure a reference signal received power (reference signal receiving power, RSRP) threshold for the terminal, and if the downlink RSRP measured by the terminal is less than the threshold, send a repeat request of HARQ-ACK for Msg4, such as Msg4 HARQ-ACK repetition request, to the network device; alternatively, the repeat capability of the HARQ-ACK of Msg4, e.g., msg4 HARQ-ACK repetition capability indication. Optionally, the network device may further instruct the terminal by Msg4 whether to repeat transmission of HARQ-ACKs of Msg 4.

In some embodiments, either Msg4 HARQ-ACK repetition request or Msg4 HARQ-ACK repetition capability indication may be carried by a medium access control element (media access control control element, MAC CE).

In some embodiments, in the case that Msg4 HARQ-ACK repetition request or Msg4 HARQ-ACK repetition capability indication is carried by a MAC CE, the terminal may set the logical channel priority of the MAC CE, and then send the MAC CE.

In some embodiments, in addition to the MAC CEs described above that carry Msg4 HARQ-ACK repetition request or Msg4 HARQ-ACK repetition capability indication, the logical channel prioritization of some MAC CEs or data may be high to low as follows:

a cell radio network temporary identity (cell radio network temporary identifier, C-RNTI) MAC CE or data from an uplink common control channel (uplink common control channel, UL-CCCH);

A wireless access backhaul integrated mobile terminal (integrated access backhaul-mobile terminal, IAB-MT) recommended beam indication MAC CE (MAC CE for IAB-MT recommended beam indication), a desired wireless access backhaul integrated mobile terminal power spectral density (power spectral density, PSD) MAC CE (MAC CE for desired IAB-MT PSD range), a desired Downlink (DL, downlink) transmit (Tx) power adjustment MAC CE (MAC CE for desired DL Tx power adjustment);

In some embodiments, the beam failure recovery MAC CE (e.g., BFR MAC CE or MAC CE for BFR) described above may further include an enhanced (enhanced) beam failure recovery MAC CE, e.g., enhanced BFR MAC CE or MACE for Enhanced BFR.

In some embodiments, the single power headroom report MAC CE (e.g., single EntryPHR MAC CE or MAC CE for Single EntryPHR) described above may include an enhanced single power headroom report MAC CE, e.g., MAC CE for Enhanced Single Entry PHR or Enhanced Single Entry PHR MAC CE.

In some embodiments, higher priority logical channels have a higher probability of being scheduled by the MAC layer, and may achieve more transmission opportunities, e.g., may have higher transmission rates or lower transmission delays. In some embodiments, for any two MAC CEs with the same logical channel priority in the above example, its logical channel priority may be determined by the terminal.

Fig. 2 is an interactive schematic diagram of an information processing method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in fig. 2, embodiments of the present disclosure relate to information processing for a communication system 100, the method comprising:

in step S2101, the terminal 101 determines a logical channel priority of the first information.

In some embodiments, the first information may be a repeat request. Optionally, the first information may be used to request repeated transmission of HARQ-ACKs of Msg4 and/or to indicate repeated capabilities of HARQ-ACKs of Msg 4. For example, the first information may be any signaling or data transmitted on a logical channel for carrying the repeat request of the HARQ-ACK of Msg4 and/or the repeat capability of the HARQ-ACK of Msg 4.

In some embodiments, the first information is a first MAC CE. The first MAC CE may be, for example, in particular a MAC CE carrying Msg4 HARQ-ACK repetition request or Msg4 HARQ-ACK repetition capability indication.

In some embodiments, the first information is a MAC CE of a type that is a protocol contract or a network configuration, where the type of MAC CE includes, but is not limited to, a MAC CE involved in the logical channel prioritization and a MAC CE type corresponding to the first information.

Alternatively, the first information may be used to indicate that the downlink RSRP of the terminal 101 is smaller than a preset threshold, and the terminal 101 may generate the first information in case that it is determined that the downlink RSRP is smaller than the preset threshold. Alternatively, the preset threshold may be configured by the network device 102 for the terminal 101. For example, in case that the downlink RSRP is smaller than the preset threshold, the terminal 101 may have difficulty reliably transmitting the HARQ-ACK of Msg 4.

In some embodiments, the first information may include a repeat request (repetition request) for HARQ-ACKs for Msg4, including for example Msg4 HARQ-ACK repetition request. Optionally, the first information may also include a repeat capability (repetition capability) of the HARQ-ACK of Msg4, e.g. including Msg4 HARQ-ACK repetition capability indication.

In some embodiments, the MAC CE is a logical channel of data, the highest priority logical channel of data is preferentially included in the MAC PDU (Protocol Data Unit ), followed by the next highest priority logical channel of data, and so on until the assigned MAC PDU is full or no more data is to be sent or the TTI is full. Alternatively, the priority of each logical channel data may be determined by the priority field of a logical channel configuration (LogicalChannelConfig), and the smaller the value, the higher the priority.

In some embodiments, the logical channel priority of the first information may be determined based on the MAC CE that has determined the logical channel priority. For example, if the priority of the reference MAC CE is a preset priority, the logical channel priority of the first information may be determined based on the preset priority of the reference MAC CE, for example, may be higher than the preset priority, equal to the preset priority, or lower than the preset priority. The reference MAC CE may be, for example, any one or more of the MAC CEs described above in the high-to-low logical channel prioritization.

It will be appreciated that the combination of alternative embodiments of step S2101 includes, but is not limited to, the combination of alternative embodiments of the examples described above, which can be combined by a person skilled in the art according to the actual requirements.

In some embodiments, the logical channel priority of the first information may be determined by the terminal 101 itself or may be determined according to a protocol, which is not specifically limited in the embodiments of the present disclosure. For example, if the protocol specifies that the logical channel priority of the first information is lower than the logical channel priority of the second information and higher than the logical channel priority of the fourth information, the logical channel priority of the first information may be determined to be lower than the second information and higher than the fourth information.

In step S2102, the terminal 101 transmits first information to the network device 102.

In some embodiments, the terminal 101 may transmit the first information according to a logical channel priority of the first information. Alternatively, the first information may be transmitted according to a logical channel priority of the first information. For example, the terminal 101 may preferentially transmit MAC CEs or data having a logical channel priority higher than that of the first information, and transmit the first information if the first information is the highest logical channel priority among the data to be transmitted or higher than the first priority.

In some embodiments, terminal 101 determines that the logical channel priority of the first information is higher than or equal to the first priority, and transmits the first information. Alternatively, the terminal 101 transmits the first information in a case where it is determined that the logical channel priority of the first information is higher than or equal to the first priority. Alternatively, the terminal 101 transmits the first information when determining that the logical channel priority of the first information is higher than or equal to the first priority. Alternatively, the terminal 101 transmits the first information in response to determining that the logical channel priority of the first information is higher than or equal to the first priority.

Alternatively, the first priority may be the lowest priority that the MAC PDU can currently carry. For example, the lowest priority of the MAC CE that the MAC PDU can currently carry is the logical channel priority corresponding to MAC CE for Timing Advance Report, and if the priority of the first information is lower than the logical channel priority corresponding to MAC CE for Timing Advance Report, the first information may not be sent first; if the priority of the first information is higher than the logical channel priority corresponding to MAC CE for Timing Advance Report, the first information may be sent to the network device 102; if the priority of the first information is equal to the priority of the logical channel corresponding to MAC CE for Timing Advance Report, the terminal 101 may or may not send the first information, which is not limited in the embodiment of the present disclosure.

In step S2103, the network apparatus 102 transmits fourteenth information to the terminal 101.

In some embodiments, the fourteenth information is Msg4, or may be any other information for indicating whether the terminal repeatedly sends HARQ-ACK of Msg 4.

In some embodiments, msg4 may be a message in a contention-based random access procedure, may be generated by the RRC layer of the access network device in network device 102, and transmitted on a logical channel mapped to a common/common control channel (Common Control Channel, CCCH) or a dedicated control channel (Dedicated Control CHanne, DCCH) on a downlink shared channel (Downlink Shared Channel, DL-SCH). Alternatively, the terminal 101 may complete contention resolution in case of correctly receiving Msg 4.

In some embodiments, the fourteenth information may be transmitted if the network device 102 correctly receives the first information. Optionally, network device 102 transmits fourteen information in response to receiving the first information. Optionally, the network device 102 sends the first fourteen pieces of information if the first information is received. Optionally, the network device 102 transmits the fourteenth information in response to receiving the first information.

In some embodiments, this fourteenth information may be used to indicate whether the terminal 101 repeatedly transmits the fifteenth information. Alternatively, the fourteenth information may be used to instruct the terminal 101 to repeatedly transmit the fifteenth information. Alternatively, the fourteenth information may be used to instruct the terminal 101 not to repeatedly transmit the fifteenth information. It is understood that in the case where the fourteenth information is used to instruct the terminal 101 not to repeatedly transmit the fifteenth information, the terminal 101 may not transmit the fifteenth information or transmit the fifteenth information only once.

In some embodiments, step S2103 may include: fourteenth information is determined from the first information. Alternatively, the fourteenth information may be determined according to the first information.

For example, in case the first information comprises a repeat request of HARQ-ACK of Msg4 (e.g. Msg4 HARQ-ACK repetition request), then the fourteenth information may be used to instruct the terminal 101 to repeat transmitting the fifteenth information. For example, if the repetition capability of the HARQ-ACK of Msg4 in the first information (e.g., msg4 HARQ-ACK repetition capability indication) characterizes that the terminal 101 does not support repeated transmission of HARQ-ACKs, the fourteenth information may be used to indicate that the terminal 101 does not repeatedly transmit the fifteenth information.

In some embodiments, the reason why the terminal 101 does not receive the fourteenth information may be, for example, that the communication effect between the terminal 101 and the network device 102 is poor. Alternatively, in the case where the terminal 101 is receiving the fourteenth information, the subsequent step, for example, step S2104 may not be performed.

In step S2104, the terminal 101 transmits fifteenth information to the network device 102.

In some embodiments, the fifteenth information may be transmitted if the terminal 101 correctly receives the fourteenth information. Alternatively, the terminal 101 receives the fourteenth information and transmits the fifteenth information. Alternatively, the terminal 101 transmits the fifteenth information in the case of receiving the fourteenth information. Alternatively, the terminal 101 transmits the fifteenth information upon receiving the fourteenth information. Alternatively, the terminal 101 transmits the fifteenth information in response to receiving the fourteenth information.

In some embodiments, the fifteenth information may be, for example, an acknowledgement indication, which may be used to indicate that the terminal correctly received Msg4, for example, a HARQ-ACK for Msg 4. Alternatively, the fifteenth information may be other information, and the name of the fifteenth information is not limited in the embodiments of the present disclosure.

In some embodiments, the fourteenth information received by the terminal 101 is used to instruct the terminal 101 to repeatedly transmit the fifteenth information, that is, the terminal 101 may perform this step S2014 multiple times.
