The format of the DCI may be a DCI format (format) of non-fallback (non-fallback), for example, DCI format 0-1, DCI format 0-2. Alternatively, the format of the DCI may be a retrogressive DCI format, such as DCI formats 0-0, which is not limited in this disclosure.

In one possible implementation manner, when the bit value corresponding to the first indication information is 0, the terminal is instructed to perform uplink transmission on a common uplink. And when the bit value corresponding to the first indication information is 1, the indication terminal performs uplink transmission on the SUL.

In step 302, in a case where the first indication information indicates that the terminal performs uplink transmission on the SUL, the number of the target SUL is determined based on a contract among the SULs.

In the embodiment of the present disclosure, taking the example that the number of bits occupied by the second indication information in the DCI is 2, it is assumed that one common uplink of the terminal corresponds to two SULs, namely sul#1 and sul#2. Wherein the correspondence between the number of the normal uplink, the number of each SUL and each set of bit values is shown in table 2, for example. The base station may indicate the number of the uplink by setting a bit value corresponding to the second indication information.

In the above embodiment, the base station may send the second indication information to the terminal through DCI, and further, the base station directly indicates the number of the uplink through the second indication information. The flexibility of network deployment and scheduling is improved, the uplink transmission switching enhancement is realized in an NR system, and the availability is high.

In some alternative embodiments, if the second indication information sent by the base station through the DCI indicates the number of the normal uplink, the base station directly receives the uplink information sent by the terminal on the normal uplink.

If the base station indicates the number of the target SUL through the second indication information sent by the DCI, the base station directly receives the uplink information sent by the terminal on the target SUL.

In the above embodiment, the base station may directly instruct the terminal to perform uplink transmission on the common uplink or the target SUL through the scheduling and the indication of the DCI, which is simple to implement and has high availability.

In some alternative embodiments, the base station may indicate the target SUL through a designated signaling display.

Referring to fig. 13, fig. 13 is a flowchart of an uplink transmission method according to an embodiment, which may be applied to a base station, the method may include the steps of:

in step 1301, third indication information is sent to the terminal through a designated signaling; the third indication information is used for indicating the SUL in an activated state.

In another possible implementation, the designated signaling may be MAC CE signaling.

In step 1302, among the plurality of SULs, a SUL indicated by the third indication information is taken as the target SUL.

In the above embodiment, the base station may inform the terminal of the SUL in the active state by designating the third indication information in the signaling and adopting a display indication manner. The flexibility of network deployment and scheduling is improved, the uplink transmission switching enhancement is realized in an NR system, and the availability is high.

In some alternative embodiments, if the base station sends the first indication information to the terminal through DCI, the first indication information indicates that the terminal performs uplink transmission on a normal uplink, and the base station directly receives uplink information sent by the terminal on the normal uplink.

If the base station sends first indication information to the terminal through DCI, and the first indication information indicates that the terminal performs uplink transmission on the SUL, the base station receives uplink information sent by the terminal on the target SUL. Wherein the target SUL is determined based on the designated signaling sent by the base station.

In the above embodiment, the base station may instruct the terminal to perform uplink transmission on the common uplink or the target SUL through the scheduling and the indication of the DCI, which is simple to implement and has high availability.

In some alternative embodiments, the base station may determine the target SUL by a timer corresponding to each SUL. Each SUL of the plurality of SULs corresponds to one timer, and only one timer corresponding to the SUL is in an operating state at the same time point.

Referring to fig. 14, fig. 14 is a flowchart of an uplink transmission method according to an embodiment, which may be applied to a base station, the method may include the steps of:

in step 1401, among the plurality of SULs, a SUL in which a corresponding timer is in an operation state at a target time point is taken as the target SUL.

In one possible implementation, the base station sends first configuration information to the terminal, and configures a timing duration of a timer corresponding to each SUL through the first configuration information.

In another possible implementation, the base station determines the timing duration of the timer corresponding to each SUL based on a protocol convention.

In the above embodiment, the base station uses the SUL in the running state of the corresponding timer at the target time point as the target SUL, which improves the flexibility of network deployment and scheduling, realizes uplink transmission switching enhancement in the NR system, and has high availability.

If the base station sends first indication information to the terminal through DCI, and the first indication information indicates that the terminal performs uplink transmission on the SUL, the base station receives uplink information sent by the terminal on the target SUL. Wherein the target SUL is determined based on the corresponding timer of each SUL.

In some alternative embodiments, the base station may indicate the target SUL in an implicitly indicated manner.

Referring to fig. 15, fig. 15 is a flowchart of an uplink transmission method according to an embodiment, which may be applied to a base station, the method may include the steps of:

in step 1501, among the plurality of SULs, a SUL corresponding to an association identifier is taken as the target SUL; wherein, the association identifier is a resource identifier related to DCI transmission, and different values of the association identifier of the same type correspond to different SULs.

In one possible implementation, the association identifier includes at least one of: transmitting a BWP identification of the DCI; transmitting the SS identification of the DCI; and transmitting the CORESET identification of the DCI.

In the above embodiment, the base station may implicitly indicate the target SUL through the resource identifier related to DCI transmission. The flexibility of network deployment and scheduling is improved, the uplink transmission switching enhancement is realized in an NR system, and the availability is high.

If the base station sends first indication information to the terminal through DCI, and the first indication information indicates that the terminal performs uplink transmission on the SUL, the base station receives uplink information sent by the terminal on the target SUL. Wherein the target SUL is determined based on the association identification.

In some alternative embodiments, the base station may determine the target SUL through a time pattern corresponding to each of the plurality of SULs. The time mode is used for indicating a time point when each SUL is in an activated state in each preset period, and only one SUL is in an activated state at the same time point.

Referring to fig. 16, fig. 16 is a flowchart of an uplink transmission method according to an embodiment, which may be applied to a base station, the method may include the steps of:

in step 1601, among the plurality of SULs, a SUL in an activated state at a target time point is taken as the target SUL based on the time pattern corresponding to each SUL.

In one possible implementation, the base station sends second configuration information to the terminal, and configures the time mode corresponding to each SUL for the terminal. When determining the second configuration information, the base station needs to ensure that only one SUL is in an active state at the same time point.

In another possible implementation, the base station determines the time pattern corresponding to each SUL based on a protocol convention.

In the above embodiment, the base station uses the SUL in the active state at the target time point as the target SUL, which improves flexibility of network deployment and scheduling, realizes uplink transmission switching enhancement in the NR system, and has high availability.

If the base station sends first indication information to the terminal through DCI, and the first indication information indicates that the terminal performs uplink transmission on the SUL, the base station receives uplink information sent by the terminal on the target SUL. Wherein the target SUL is determined based on the corresponding temporal pattern of each SUL.

In order to facilitate understanding of the uplink transmission method provided in the present disclosure, the following further exemplifies the above method.

Embodiment 1, in which a terminal is assumed to support a plurality of SULs, it is assumed that the number of SULs supported by the terminal is 2, that is, one normal uplink corresponds to two supplementary uplink, as shown in fig. 17A, for example.

In this embodiment, the base station may send, through the second RRC signaling, third indication information to the terminal, where the third indication information is used to indicate the number of the activation supplementary uplink corresponding to normal uplink band. The terminal and the base station take the SUL in the activated state as a target SUL. In other words, if the SUL in supplementary list (i.e., a SUL list composed of a plurality of SULs) is not indicated as an active state by the second RRC signaling, the terminal does not transmit an uplink transmission thereon, nor is the base station side expected to receive an uplink transmission thereon.

Assume that the second RRC signaling activates the SUL with log2 (N) bits, where N is the number of SULs contained in the SUL list, i.e., the number of multiple SULs. In this embodiment, N may be 2. The SUL in the active state indicated by the second RRC signaling is shown in table 3, for example.

TABLE 3 Table 3

In this embodiment, it is assumed that the second RRC signaling indicates that sul#1 is in an active state. The terminal determines to perform uplink transmission on the normal uplink or sul#1 according to the first indication information sent by the base station through the DCI.

Taking a physical uplink shared channel (Physical Uplink Shared Channel, PUSCH) as an example, assume that a base station transmits DCI for scheduling PUSCH, and the DCI is format 0-1, where first indication information carried therein, i.e. UL/SUL indicator, indicates that the PUSCH needs to be transmitted on SUL. At this time, since SUL#1 is in an active state, the terminal transmits the PUSCH on SUL#1 according to the scheduling information. Correspondingly, the base station receives the PUSCH on sul#1.

Embodiment 2, in which the terminal is assumed to support a plurality of SULs, it is assumed that the number of SULs supported by the terminal is 2, that is, one normal uplink corresponds to two supplementary uplink, as shown in fig. 17A, for example.

In this embodiment, the base station may send the first indication information through DCI, and its PUSCH is scheduled by DCI formats 0-0. At this time, when the first indication information, i.e., the UL/SUL indicator, carried in the DCI format 0-0 indicates that the terminal performs uplink transmission on the SUL, the terminal and the base station may take the sul#1 as the target SUL according to the protocol convention.

In this embodiment, the base station may also send the second indication information through DCI to directly indicate the number of the common uplink or the number of the target SUL. The information domain where the UL/SUL indicator carried in the DCI is located can be expanded. Specifically, the number of bits occupied by the UL/SUL indicator is expanded from 1bit to at least 2 bits. And determining that the frequency band where the uplink transmission scheduled by the DCI is located is NUL, SUL#1 or SUL#2 through the second indication information of at least 2 bits. The bit value of the second indication information and the indicated uplink number are shown in table 2, for example, and are not described here again.

In this embodiment, assuming that a set of bit values corresponding to the second indication information is 10, the terminal and the base station may determine that the PUSCH scheduled by the DCI is transmitted on sul#2.

Further, the second indication information is carried by non-fallback DCI format, i.e. only by DCI format 0-1 or DCI format 0-2.

Embodiment 3, in which the terminal is assumed to support a plurality of SULs, it is assumed that the number of SULs supported by the terminal is 2, that is, one normal uplink corresponds to two supplementary uplink, as shown in fig. 17A, for example.

In this embodiment, the base station sends third indication information to the terminal through MAC CE signaling, where the third indication information is used to indicate the SUL in an active state corresponding to the common uplink. The terminal and the base station may take the SUL in the active state as a target SUL.

In other words, if the SUL in supplementary list is not indicated as active by the third indication information in the MAC CE signaling, the terminal does not transmit an uplink transmission thereon, nor is the base station side expecting to receive an uplink transmission thereon.

In this embodiment, it is assumed that the third indication information in the MAC CE signaling indicates that sul#1 is in an active state. The terminal determines to perform uplink transmission on NUL or sul#1 according to the first indication information sent by the base station through DCI.

Taking PUSCH as an example, assume that the base station transmits DCI format 0-1 for scheduling PUSCH, where the carried UL/SUL indicator indicates that the PUSCH needs to be transmitted on SUL. At this time, since SUL#1 is an active SUL, the terminal transmits the PUSCH on SUL#1 according to the scheduling information. Correspondingly, the base station receives the PUSCH on sul#1.

Embodiment 4, in which the terminal is assumed to support a plurality of SULs, it is assumed that the number of SULs supported by the terminal is 2, that is, one normal uplink corresponds to two supplementary uplink, as shown in fig. 17A, for example. Only one supplementary uplink is active at the same time. In this embodiment, supplementary uplink is determined to be active at a particular time by defining supplementary uplink related timer.

In this embodiment, it is assumed that SUL#1 and SUL#2 have two independently configured timers, i.e., SUL#1 corresponds to timer#1 and SUL#2 corresponds to timer#2, and that both timers cannot be started at the same time, i.e., only after the timer on the SUL in the active state times out (expire), can the timer on the other SUL be started and correspondingly enter the active state.

In this embodiment, it is assumed that the terminal receives the first indication information sent by the base station at the target time point, and determines that sul#1 is activated supplementary uplink according to the timer. The terminal determines to perform uplink transmission on NUL or sul#1 according to the first instruction information sent by the base station side.

Taking PUSCH as an example, assume that the base station transmits DCI format 0-1 for scheduling PUSCH, and the first indication information UL/SUL indicator carried therein indicates that the PUSCH needs to be transmitted on SUL. At this time, since SUL#1 is an active SUL, the terminal transmits the PUSCH on SUL#1 according to the scheduling information. Correspondingly, the base station receives the PUSCH on sul#1.

Embodiment 5, in which the terminal is assumed to support a plurality of SULs, it is assumed that the number of SULs supported by the terminal is 2, that is, one normal uplink corresponds to two supplementary uplink, as shown in fig. 17A, for example. Only one supplementary uplink is active at the same time. In this embodiment, supplementary uplink is determined to be active at a particular time by defining supplementary uplink related timer.

At the same point in time, only one supplementary uplink is active. In this embodiment, the target SUL is implicitly determined.

Specifically, different values of the same type of association identifier correspond to different SULs, and the association identifier includes at least one of the following: transmitting a bandwidth part BWP identification of the DCI; transmitting the Search Space (SS) identification of the DCI; and transmitting a control resource set CORESET identifier of the DCI.

For example, ss#1 corresponds to sul#1 and ss#2 corresponds to sul#2.

The DCI scheduled PUSCH is transmitted on sul#1 when the following condition is satisfied:

the first indication information UL/SUL indicator in the DCI is 1, that is, indicates that its scheduled uplink transmission is transmitted on SUL, and the DCI is transmitted in ss#1

The DCI scheduled PUSCH is transmitted on sul#2 when the following condition is satisfied:

the UL/SUL indicator in the DCI is 1, i.e. indicates that its scheduled uplink transmission is transmitted on SUL, and the DCI is transmitted in ss#2.

Further, each SUL may be associated with one or more SSs, and the present patent is not limited in any way.

Embodiment 6, in which the terminal is assumed to support a plurality of SULs, it is assumed that the number of SULs supported by the terminal is 2, that is, one normal uplink corresponds to two supplementary uplink, as shown in fig. 17A, for example. Only one supplementary uplink is active at the same time. In this embodiment, supplementary uplink is determined to be active at a particular time by defining supplementary uplink related timer.

Only one SUL is active at the same time. In this embodiment, by configuring time patterns (time patterns) for the SULs, respectively, the SUL whose target time point is in an activated state is taken as the target SUL.

As a specific example, the base station configures the SUL time pattern period and indicates the activation status of different SULs in the period, for example, as shown in fig. 17B. Taking PUSCH as an example, assume that the base station transmits DCI format 0-1 for scheduling PUSCH, and the UL/SUL indicator carried therein indicates that the PUSCH needs to be transmitted on SUL. The target SUL for PUSCH transmission is the SUL which is in an activated state at the target time point and is determined according to the SUL time pattern.

In the above embodiment, the target SUL for uplink transmission of the terminal can be quickly determined under the condition that one common uplink corresponds to a plurality of SULs, so as to ensure that the understanding of the base station and the terminal are consistent, improve the flexibility of network deployment and scheduling, realize uplink transmission switching enhancement in the NR system, and have high availability.
