In some embodiments, the name of the enabling parameter is not limited, and is, for example, "enable UTO-UCI," or the like.

In some embodiments, the name of the CG configuration is not limited, and is, for example, "Configured Grant Config" or the like.

In some embodiments, the first information may also be used to indicate an index of at least one CG configuration or configuration information of at least one CG for terminal 101.

In some embodiments, at least one CG is configured as one of the CG configurations that terminal 101 has configured, or as a plurality of CG configurations.

In some embodiments, terminal 101 receives first information sent by network device 102.

In some embodiments, the enabling parameters of the UTO-UCI are included in the first CG configuration, wherein at least one CG is configured as the first CG configuration. That is, the UTO-UCI enable parameter is used to enable or disable the UTO-UCI corresponding to the first CG configuration.

In some embodiments, the first CG configuration is any one CG configuration.

In some embodiments, when the enabling parameter of the UTO-UCI is included in the first CG configuration, the enabling parameter range is only in the corresponding first CG configuration, and whether the corresponding UTO-UCI is enabled in the first CG configuration is related to the value of the enabling parameter. For example, when the value of the enabling parameter is { enabled, disabled }, the first CG configures corresponding UTO-UCI to enable; when the value of the enabling parameter is disabled, UTO-UCI corresponding to the first CG configuration is not enabled. For another example, when the value of the enabling parameter is a natural number and the value of the enabling parameter is a non-zero value, the first CG configures corresponding UTO-UCI enabling; when the value of the enabling parameter is 0, UTO-UCI corresponding to the first CG configuration is not enabled. For another example, when the network device 102 does not configure the enabling parameter for the terminal 101, the UTO-UCI corresponding to the first CG is not enabled; when the network device 102 configures an enabling parameter for the terminal 101, the UTO-UCI corresponding to the first CG is enabled. The value of the enabling parameter of the UTO-UCI is not limited thereto, and may be other parameter forms.

In some embodiments, the enabling parameters of the UTO-UCI are included in a first CG configuration, and the first CG configuration includes an index of at least one second CG configuration, the at least one CG configuration being a first CG configuration and at least one second CG configuration.

In some embodiments, the index of the at least one second CG configuration is used to indicate at least one other CG configuration than the first CG configuration.

In some embodiments, the index of the at least one second CG configuration may be included in an extension parameter in the first CG configuration.

In some embodiments, the name of the extension parameter is not limited, and is, for example, "other CG for UTO-UCI," and the like.

In some embodiments, the extension parameters are configured by the network device 102.

In some embodiments, the extension parameter is used to indicate other CG configurations than the CG configuration in which the UTO-UCI is located.

In some embodiments, the enabling parameter of the UTO-UCI is included in the first CG configuration, and the first CG configuration includes an index of at least one second CG configuration, wherein the at least one CG configuration is configured as the first CG configuration and the at least one second CG configuration, and wherein when the index value of the at least one second CG configuration is included in the extension parameter in the first CG configuration, the range of the UTO-UCI is related to the setting of the extension parameter. For example, when the network device 102 does not configure an extension parameter for the terminal 101, or all second CG configuration index values included in the extension parameter are invalid index values or index values configured for the first CG, the applicable range of the enabling parameter of the UTO-UCI is configured only for the first CG; when the index value of the second CG configuration in the extension parameters in the first CG configuration is an effective index value or index values of other CG configurations except the index value of the first CG configuration, the application range of the enabling parameters of UTO-UCI corresponds to the first CG configuration and other CG configurations indicated by the index values in the extension parameters.

In some embodiments, the enabling parameters of the UTO-UCI are not included in any CG configuration, and the enabling parameters of the UTO-UCI are used to indicate whether or not the UTO-UCI corresponding to each CG configuration is enabled.

In some embodiments, when the enabling parameter of the UTO-UCI is not included in any CG configuration, the applicable range of the enabling parameter of the UTO-UCI is not limited, and the enabling parameter of the UTO-UCI may correspond to one or more configuration grant CG configuration parameters. For example, when network device 102 does not configure the enabling parameters of UTO-UCI for terminal 101, all CG configurations do not enable UTO-UCI; when network device 102 configures the enabling parameters of UTO-UCI for terminal 101, all CG configuration enabling UTO-UCI, the enabling parameters of UTO-UCI correspond to all CG configurations currently available for terminal 101, or to all CG configurations currently available for a specific version protocol Release for terminal 101 (e.g., CG configuration for version 18 (R18), R18-CG configuration).

In some embodiments, at least two transmission opportunities are configured in an R18-CG configuration.

In some embodiments, the enabling parameters of the UTO-UCI are not included in any CG configuration, at least one CG is configured as the first N CG configurations, N is the value of the enabling parameters of the UTO-UCI, where N is a natural number. For example, when the enabling parameter of the UTO-UCI is valued at 2, the CG configuration of the terminal includes CG0, CG1 and CG2, and when the enabling parameter of the UTO-UCI is valued at 2, at least one CG is configured to be CG0 configuration and CG1 configuration, that is, indicates that the CG0 configuration and CG1 configuration can enable the UTO-UCI.

In some embodiments, the enabling parameters of the UTO-UCI are not included in any CG configuration, and the enabling parameters of the UTO-UCI include an index value of at least one CG configuration. At this time, the enabling parameter of the UTO-UCI may indicate whether the UTO-UCI corresponding to the CG configuration indicated by the CG configuration index value is enabled.

For example, the value range of the enabling parameter of UTO-UCI is { Cg0_index, cg1_index, cg2_index }. When the enabling parameter takes a value of { Cg1_index }, indicating that the CG1 configuration can enable UTO-UCI, and the CG0 configuration and the CG2 configuration do not enable UTO-UCI; when the enabling parameter takes the value { Cg1_index, cg2_index }, it indicates that the CGI configuration and the CG2 configuration can enable UTO-UCI, and the CG0 configuration does not enable UTO-UCI.

In some embodiments, the enabling parameter of the UTO-UCI is not included in any CG configuration, and the enabling parameter of the UTO-UCI includes at least one enabling identifier corresponding to the CG configuration. At this time, the enabling parameter of the UTO-UCI may be used to indicate whether the CG configuration corresponding to the UTO-UCI is enabled.

For example, the enable parameter of UTO-UCI may be set to { enabled0/disabled0, enabled1/disabled1}. When the enabling parameter of UTO-UCI takes a value of { enabled0, disabled1}, indicating that CG0 configuration can enable UTO-UCI and CG1 configuration cannot enable UTO-UCI; when the enabling parameter takes a value of { enabled0, enabled1}, it indicates that the CG0 configuration and the CG1 configuration can enable UTO-UCI. As another example, the relationship of the enabling parameters of UTO-UCI and whether the CG configuration enables UTO-UCI is shown in Table 1 or Table 2 below.

TABLE 1

Enabling parameter values	00	01	10	11
					CG0	enabled	enabled	disabled	disabled
CG1	disabled	enabled	enabled	disabled

As shown in table 1 above, the enable parameter may identify whether the N CG configurations enable UTO-UCI using N bits. For example, when N is 2 and the first bit is identified as "0", CG0 configuration is indicated to enable UTO-UCI, and when the first bit is identified as "1", CG0 configuration is indicated to not enable UTO-UCI; and when the second bit is marked as '0', indicating that the CG1 configuration can not enable UTO-UCI, and when the second bit is marked as '1', indicating that the CG1 configuration can enable UTO-UCI. The two bit identifiers are respectively in four combinations of '00', '01', '10', '11', and CG0 configuration and CG1 configuration respectively select whether to enable respective UTO-UCI based on the corresponding combination identifiers.

TABLE 2

Enabling parameter values	00	01	10	11
					CG0	enabled	enabled	disabled	Reserved
CG1	disabled	enabled	enabled	Reserved

As shown in table 2 above, the enable parameter may identify whether the UTO-UCI is enabled for the N CG configurations using the N bits, and the CG0 configuration and CG1 configuration default to not enable the UTO-UCI. For example, when N is 2 and the first bit is identified as "0", CG0 configuration is indicated to enable UTO-UCI, and when the first bit is identified as "1", CG0 configuration is indicated to not enable UTO-UCI; and when the second bit is marked as '0', indicating that the CG1 configuration can not enable UTO-UCI, and when the second bit is marked as '1', indicating that the CG1 configuration can enable UTO-UCI. The two bit identifiers are in four combinations, namely '00', '01', '10', '11', and CG0 configuration and CG1 configuration select whether to enable respective UTO-UCI based on the corresponding combination identifiers. Specifically, when the two bit flag is "11", the CG0 configuration and the CG1 configuration retain the state of the currently enabled or disabled UTO-UCI.

In some embodiments, the enabling parameters of the UTO-UCI correspond to one CG configuration group, at least one CG being configured as CG configuration contained in the CG configuration group.

In some embodiments, one or more CG configurations are included in the CG configuration group.

In some embodiments, network device 102 may configure CG configurations included in the CG configuration group for terminal 101.

A detailed description of steps S5101-S5102 may be described with reference to the above embodiments.

In some embodiments, the method may include the method described in the embodiments of the communication system side, the terminal side, the network device side, and so on, which are not described herein.

The processing method according to the embodiment of the present disclosure may include at least one of step S5101 to step S5102. For example, step S5101 may be implemented as a separate embodiment, step S5102 may be implemented as a separate embodiment, and steps S5101+s5102 may be implemented as a separate embodiment, but are not limited thereto.

The following is an exemplary description of the above method.

The method for binding UTO-UCI and CG configuration and ordering a plurality of CG configurations comprises the following optional implementation scheme:

the network device configures the corresponding relation between UTO-UCI and CG configuration through RRC parameters, and determines whether UTO-UCI is enabled or not through specific configuration, and the specific scheme comprises at least one of the following steps:

scheme 1: the network device configures an enable parameter enable uto-UCI, which may or may not be included in configurable grantconfigug. The configurable GrantConfig is used for the network device to configure a set of CG configuration for the terminal. The enableUTO-UCI can indicate that the UTO-UCI is enabled for at least 1 CG configuration, and/or the enableUTO-UCI can indicate that the UTO-UCI corresponding to at least 1 CG configuration is not enabled.

The case of the parameter enableUTO-UCI configuration includes at least one of:

In one case, when the parameter enableUTO-UCI is configured as an invalid value, at least 1 CG configuration corresponds to the UTO-UCI being disabled, where the invalid value refers to a value that is not predefined;

in one case, when the parameter enableUTO-UCI is configured as a valid value, the UTO-UCI corresponding to at least 1 CG configuration is not enabled, and the valid value refers to a predefined value;

in one case, when the parameter enableUTO-UCI is not configured, at least 1 CG configuration corresponding to UTO-UCI is not enabled;

in one case, when the parameter enableUTO-UCI is configured to a first specific value, at least 1 CG configuration corresponding to UTO-UCI is not enabled;

in one case, at least 1 CG configuration enable UTO-UCI when the parameter enable UTO-UCI is configured as a valid value, which refers to a predefined value;

in one case, at least 1 CG configuration enable UTO-UCI when the parameter enable UTO-UCI is not configured;

in one case, at least 1 CG configuration enables UTO-UCI when the parameter enable UTO-UCI is configured to a second specific value.

In one implementation, UTO-UCI ranges to be configured only in the corresponding CG, and the UTO-UCI enable parameter enable UTO-UCI is contained in Configured Grant Config. The Configured Grant Config is used for a network device to configure a set of CG configurations for a terminal. Specifically, when the parameter is configured as a valid value or not, it means that the corresponding CG configuration enables UTO-UCI; when the parameter is configured as a valid or invalid value or not configured, it means that the corresponding CG configuration does not enable UTO-UCI. Further, UTO-UCI is enabled in a range of only the corresponding CG configuration, and UTO-TO corresponds TO the CG configuration one by one.

For example, when the value of enableUTO-UCI is enabled, the corresponding CG configuration enables UTO-UCI; when enableUTO-UCI takes on a value of disabled, the corresponding CG configuration does not enable UTO-UCI. UTO-UCI corresponds to CG configuration including the configurable GrantConfig parameter configuration of EnableUTO-UCI.

As an example, when the value of enableUTO-UCI is a non-zero value, the corresponding CG configuration enables UTO-UCI; when enableUTO-UCI takes a value of 0, the corresponding CG configuration does not enable UTO-UCI. UTO-UCI corresponds to CG configuration including the configurable GrantConfig parameter configuration of EnableUTO-UCI.

As an example, when the network device does not configure enableUTO-UCI for the terminal, the corresponding CG configuration does not enable UTO-UCI; when the network equipment configures enableUTO-UCI for the terminal, enabling the UTO-UCI corresponding to CG configuration, and the UTO-UCI corresponding to CG configuration including configured grantconfigure parameter configuration of enableUTO-UCI.

In another implementation, the range of UTO-UCI is not limited and the enabling parameter enable UTO-UCI of UTO-UCI is not contained in ConfigururedGrantConfig. enableUTO-UCI may correspond to one or more configurable grantconfigugs. The configurable GrantConfig is used for the network device to configure a set of CG configuration for the terminal. In particular, when the parameter is configured as a valid value or not, it means that UTO-UCI is enabled for at least one set of CG configurations; when the parameter is configured as a valid value or an invalid value or not, it means UTO-UCI is not enabled. Further, the range of enabling UTO-UCI is not limited, corresponding to at least one CG configuration. Furthermore, a CG configuration can also correspond to at least one UTO-UCI.

The enableUTO-UCI value parameter includes at least one CG configured index. For one example, the range of the value parameter of enableUTO-UCI is { chg0_index, ch1_index, ch2_index }. When the enableUTO-UCI takes a value { CG1_index }, CG1 enables UTO-UCI, and CG0 and CG2 do not enable UTO-UCI, and UTO-UCI corresponding to enableUTO-UCI corresponds to CG 1; when enableUTO-UCI takes a value { cg1_index, cg2_index }, CG1 and CG2 enable UTO-UCI, CG0 does not enable UTO-UCI, and UTO-UCI corresponding to enableUTO-UCI corresponds to CG1 and CG 2.

The enableUTO-UCI value parameter includes at least one CG configured enable identifier. As an example, the value parameter of enableUTO-UCI is { enabled0/disabled0, enabled1/disabled1}. When the enableUTO-UCI takes a value { enableUTO 0, disalloed 1}, CG0 enables UTO-UCI, and CG1 does not enable UTO-UCI, where the UTO-UCI corresponding to enableUTO-UCI corresponds to CG 0; when the enableUTO-UCI takes a value { enabled0, enabled1}, CG0 and CG1 enable UTO-UCI, and UTO-UCI corresponding to enableUTO-UCI corresponds to CG0 and CG 1.

As an example, when the network device does not configure enableUTO-UCI for the terminal, all CG configurations do not enable UTO-UCI; when the network device configures enableUTO-UCI for the terminal, all CG configurations enable UTO-UCI corresponding to all CG configurations currently available for the terminal or corresponding to all R18-CG configurations currently available for the terminal, where configuring at least two transmission opportunities in the R18-CG configurations may mean being activated or being configured completely.

The value parameter of enableUTO-UCI contains at least one natural number. As an example, enableUTO-UCI has a value parameter of N, where N is a natural number, and UTO-UCI corresponding to the first N CG configurations is enabled, or UTO-UCI corresponding to the first N available R18-CG configurations is enabled. When enableUTO-UCI takes a value of 2, CG0 and CG1 enable UTO-UCI, UTO-UCI corresponding to enableUTO-UCI corresponds to CG0 and CG1, and CG0 and CG1 are the first 2 CG configurations or the first 2 available R18-CG configurations.

Scheme 2: and configuring UTO-UCI according to granularity of one CG configuration group. The network equipment configures CGgroup-r18 for the terminal, wherein the CGgroup-r18 at least comprises index or ID information of CG configuration. And the UTO-UCI corresponds to CG configuration of CGgroup-r18 configuration. Further, the network device configures an enabling parameter enableUTO-UCI of the UTO-UCI for the terminal.

The case of the parameter enableUTO-UCI configuration includes at least one of:

in one case, when the parameter enableUTO-UCI is configured as an invalid value, the UTO-UCI corresponding to CG configuration of CGgroup-r18 is not enabled, where the invalid value refers to a value that is not predefined;

in one case, when the parameter enableUTO-UCI is configured as a valid value, the UTO-UCI corresponding to CG configuration of CGgroup-r18 is not enabled, and the valid value refers to a predefined value;

In one case, when the parameter enableUTO-UCI is not configured, the UTO-UCI corresponding to the CG configuration of the CGgroup-r18 configuration is not enabled;

in one case, when the parameter enableUTO-UCI is configured to a first specific value, the UTO-UCI corresponding to the CG configuration of the CGgroup-r18 configuration is not enabled;

in one case, when the parameter enableUTO-UCI is configured as a valid value, the CG configuration of CGgroup-r18 configuration enables UTO-UCI, and the valid value refers to a predefined value;

in one case, when the parameter enableUTO-UCI is not configured, CG configuration of CGgroup-r18 configuration enables UTO-UCI;

in one case, the CG configuration of the CGgroup-r18 configuration enables UTO-UCI when the parameter EnableUTO-UCI is configured to a second particular value.

Scheme 3: the UTO-UCI is configured according to the granularity of one CG configuration, and the enabling parameter enableUTO-UCI of the UTO-UCI is contained in the configurable GrantConfig. Meanwhile, the network device configures an extension parameter othercgfuto-UCI, where the othercgfuto-UCI is used to indicate CG configuration other than CG configuration corresponding to the UTO-UCI. Further, when the othercgforto-UCI is not configured or indicated as an invalid value or indicated as an index of the current CG configuration, the application range of the UTO-UCI is configured only in the corresponding CG. And when the othercgfuto-UCI is not configured or indicated as a valid value or indicated as an index of at least one other CG configuration, the application range of the UTO-UCI is in the CG configuration indicated by the corresponding CG configuration and the othercgfuto-UCI.

The terminal indicates the use state of the TO in the corresponding CG configuration through UTO-UCI, and the indicated TO in the CG configuration comprises at least one of the following:

method 1:

the indicated TO in the CG configuration includes valid TO, i.e., transmission occasions that do not collide with either tdd-UL-DL-configuration command or tdd-UL-DL-configuration de-directed or SSB.

Method 2:
